Del Mar Rendezvous/Morning Muse

So Morning Muse definitely isn't a speakeasy, lol. The restaurant itself is a small strip with an Instagram centric vibe. Overall, the food was good. The Asian fusion aspect of it was prominent, but not entirely authentic in its merger. We ordered the Congee bowl with pork belly and pork belly Benedict. Definitely don't think the Congee was meant to be rice pudding-like, but not bad. The drinks pictured were the dragon fruit and blue berry lavender cocktails with a vodka and tequila base. I think trying it once was enough. Just an interesting place to hit and quit.

Delicious food, wine list & great service. W specific gluten & vegetarian/vegan menus. Will definitely be back.

Great menu, great service, awesome food! Upper scale Chinese food with an extensive menu including dozens of vegetarian and vegan options with their own page on the menu. You may need reservations on the weekend evenings. Recommended!

Really great place! Loved the food!❤️ Helpful staff!

Absolutely outstanding. Huge vegan menu, nice and spicy if you ask for it! My friends ordered fish and beef, I ordered an amazing eggplant dish after some perfect dumplings. Everyone said they want to come back soon. Surprisingly sophisticated wine list for a Chinese restaurant. Every detail was impressive.

Large selection and decent entree size. There is an entire menu for vegetarian and another for vegan. Ambiance is nice unless your next to the kitchen. It gets crowded with very little waiting room at the entrance. Food quality was mixed. The tangerine chicken was good but not spicy at all. I would not recommend the pot stickers, I've had better frozen ones at home. Deserts were excellent though. I could not give 4 stars because the restaurant and dishes were dirty. Glasses, plates and silverware had obvious spots and looked very worn.

I have eaten at this restaurant for at least 8 years. Unfortunately something is going wrong with the food quality. This was a favorite of all the family and tangerine chicken is what I get every time. My meal tonight was completely different than the usual dish. The chicken was not crispy or spicy as described in the menu. It was gooey and tasteless. My husband's shrimp dish was equally bad. The scallion bread was good. The seaweed cucumber salad was also good, as expected from the past. I don't think we will return.

I've visited del mar for years and just discovered this unique spot! As we came in we managed to get seated and helped right away, even got seats on the patio with ocean views. One of the first things I noticed was how much variety they had on the menu, definitely options for everyone and we had the most fun ordered lots of dishes and sharing between the whole table. Our server was Mauvie and she was very friendly, funny, and helpful! Overall the whole atmosphere was relaxing but lively and the service was fast. I was so worried about finding a place to take my in-laws for dinner without a reservation but what a nice surprise! Almost as surprising as how low the bill was for such amazing food and good experience.
