We chose Lana to celebrate our anniversary and wanted to try somewhere new. It exceeded every expectation. Whenever we visit a new restaurant, we prefer sampling several starters and salads rather than committing to a heavy entrée, and it turned out to be the perfect way to experience Lana's menu. We started with the Baked Mt. Tam Cheese, which was absolutely incredible. From there we enjoyed the Prawn Spring Rolls, Yellowtail Sashimi, and finished with the Peaches & Burrata Salad. Not a single dish disappointed. Every plate was beautifully presented, and the flavors were bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Our server, Dale, made the evening even more memorable. He recognized it was a special occasion and graciously paced the meal, allowing us to relax and savor each course without ever feeling rushed. We loved everything about our experience--from the food and service to the atmosphere. We can't wait to return and explore the entrée menu. Lana has definitely earned a place on our list of favorite restaurants. read more

Lana is great. It has such a neighborhood feel where you can always count on running into someone you know. The owners are genuinely so nice and make everyone feel welcome, and the food is always yummy. The bar is a great spot to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and just hang out. read more

Favorite new restaurant!! Love this place. great neighborhood vibe, friendly service and unbearable menu!! Definitely go!!

Food was amazing, atmosphere was amazing and service was the best. Our waitress Emily was amazing! We had the chopped salad and rolls for an appetizer! These rolls are to die for and are a must order! My wife and I both got the burgers for dinner and they were so amazing. If we lived in the area this would be our go to place. read more

A pleasant July evening on the patio, starting with a tasty Confit Pork Belly ($16) in a puff pastry and the prawn spring rolls ($19) with a honey sauce. The grilled Duroc pork chop ($42) was a bit dry. The creamy parmesan polenta gave it some balance. The Snake River Farms Wagyu Burger ($29) was our favorite, with shallot marmalade and aged cheddar. It comes with fries. Neighboring tables were enjoying the mussels ($32), halibut ($34), and flat iron steak ($46). Lana has a good wine-by-the-glass list from $12 to $19. Wines by the bottle start at $59 for a Turley Zinfandel, $84 for a Muga Rioja Reserva, $ 118 for a Senses Pinot Noir, $ 120 for a Pride Mountain Cabernet, and to the top of their vintage list at $984 for 1997 E. Guigal. Corkage is $30. The beer list includes draft and bottled local beers. Service was much better than our first visit almost a year ago. We'll be back later in the summer with friends to try more items on the menu. read more

My family and I recently visited Lana for their happy hour, and this was all of our first times dining here. Since we came at an odd hour, parking was easy, and we were immediately seated. The outside patio area was beautiful and offered a pleasant, fresh atmosphere. My review of Lana is, unfortunately, a bit lowered due to the unavailability of the happy hour menu items. We ordered two pizzas, a salad, two drinks, and a burger. At first, our waitress came back to tell us there'd be a wait for the pizzas, as the restaurant was having trouble with their dough? Something about not making enough dough the night prior? We were fine with a wait, but after a while, she returned to inform us that they wouldn't be able to serve their pizzas at all today. So sad, that was what we were most looking forward to! Also, a considerable chunk of their happy hour menu featured pizzas, so it sucks none of them were available. Nonetheless, I did really enjoy the chopped salad; it was delicious, especially with the chickpeas and slices of soppressata. The fries on the Snake River Farms Wagyu Burger dish were also crispy, albeit standard. Oh well, maybe we can retry another time! Our waitress was super kind and understanding, though; we appreciated her service, even without the pizzas. read more

Lana is a contemporary and warm restaurant with a variety of fine cuisine. The cocktails here are top notch and instagram worthy. We tried the mussels as an appetizer and it was perfectly made with a delicious, flavorful broth and fresh toasted bread. The flat iron steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. The halibut was also very moist on inside and crusted on the outside. All very good. Our favorite was the mushroom pasta. It was very fresh and boasting with umami flavor. Service here was very nice and they made great recommendations. Some food did take a while to receive but it was worth the wait. Overall, a very nice and satisfying restaurant with excellent ambiance, cocktails and cuisine. read more

Was really impressed with this place! We ordered several different specialty cocktails-all were delicious. Then we got the tuna crudo, heirloom tomato salad, burrata, pork belly and the prociutto pizza and shared the flank steak. Everything was delicious! We had four people and thought that was a great amount of food. They sliced the steak for us which made it easy to have a couple pieces with our pizza. I would definitely return to try more! read more

My friend Lana was visiting me...so the choice of the restaurant was rather obvious for us Guided solely by the name, we were pleasantly surprised with 1. Service 2. Food Quality 3. ALL DAY Happy Hour on Thursday 4. Stunning design of the place My friend and I got bar seats and were greeted by very attentive bartender, who walked us through the menu. We ordered tuna tartar, burger and mushroom pizza. Everything came out timely. Tuna tartar was exceptional and to quote bartender who attended to us, "it is probably the best in town". Hard to disagree! read more

Although Lana's has been around for about 8 months, this was my first visit--and it happened to be with a group of 6. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the photos you see online accurately capture both the ambiance and the quality of the food. The space strikes a balance between lively and inviting, setting the tone for a memorable dining experience. Lana's is undeniably popular, and the energy reflects that. Despite the crowd, we were greeted warmly and seated within a reasonable timeframe relative to our reservation. Once settled, we had ample opportunity to explore the menu and start with drinks. The beverage selection is impressively broad, offering something for everyone, including thoughtful non-alcoholic options. That said, the wait time for our drinks was noticeably longer than expected, a point that would echo later in the evening. When the drinks did arrive, however, they were expertly crafted and well worth the wait. We began with a selection of appetizers: Parker House rolls with artisan butter, Lana's chopped salad, and spicy tuna tartare. Each dish stood out in its own way, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The spicy tuna tartare, in particular, was a standout and something I would absolutely order again. Our entrées were ordered shortly before the appetizers arrived. Even with a relaxed pace enjoying the starters, the wait for the main courses stretched longer than anticipated...long enough for the manager to personally visit our table and offer a sincere apology. While the delay was notable, it was ultimately overshadowed by the quality of the food once it arrived. I opted for the Irodori Wagyu, served with a rich, flavorful Jus. Though the portion leaned smaller than expected, the preparation was impeccable, perfectly cooked and deeply satisfying. Other highlights at the table included the braised short rib and the tagliatelle, both of which received high praise for their depth of flavor and execution. Overall, Lana's delivers an exceptional culinary experience. The kitchen clearly takes pride in crafting distinctive, high-quality dishes, and the staff demonstrates a genuine commitment to hospitality. Importantly, when service falls short of their standards, they make a concerted effort to acknowledge and correct it, going beyond words to ensure guests feel valued. This is a bustling, in-demand restaurant with a loyal local following, and it's easy to see why. Between the inventive menu, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive team, Lana's is well worth a visit. I'd gladly return, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a vibrant and satisfying dining experience. Bon appétit! read more

4th time at Lana, another nice meal with some highs and some weaker parts. First, I still love this patio. And the servers on each of our last 3 visits have been great. We had Isabelle this time, who was super nice - and Emily who was not even our own server checked on us a few times. (she remembered she had been our server last time, and didn't even realize I'd given her love on Yelp for being awesome). So that makes a person feel warm and welcome! FOOD AND DRINKS: --I got the Piper No! cocktail. Very refreshing and tasty - not mindblowing and also not that strong. But I enjoyed it. 4/5 flavor --BREAD: they've switched over their AMAZING bread service to parker rolls. Maybe they're easier to make and they don't run out? We found them a little bland. I'm not sure if the butter was lemon butter? Anyway, these were ok, but I wouldn't order them again or dream of coming here to have them. Bring back the old (incredible) bread service if you can manage it! --APPS: My sweetie got the champagne butter lettuce, which is a nice little salad and a good value. I got the BEETS. It is a gorgeous presentation. However... the salad had not that much flavor or personality. The ingredients sound like a flavor bomb: Burrata, Blood Orange, Aged Balsamic, Micro Arugula, Cherry Tomatoes, Basil Pistou. Honestly, I tasted beets... and burrata. I love pistou and blood orange - but I didn't taste any of that. The manager circulated later and asked how everything was, and I told him that - and he took the initiative to take the beets off though I didn't ask. So that's a good sign. I hope they'll tweak the menu. We don't want food that just looks gorgeous but is boring! --ENTREES: Much more interesting here. I usually get the fish preparations which have been super tasty. I got the mushroom pappardelle this time, and was very pleased. The pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly - and the peas and asparagus were perfectly cooked. I normally am not a pea fan - but when you cook them like this, I happily eat them. CHEF ALERT: Interestingly, Chef Anthony Wells, who joined Chef Matt Martinez here in the fall with a lot of fanfare, is gone - as is Chef Matt. I love Chef Matt's cooking in particular and want to find where he is next. The chef in the kitchen now is the consulting chef from London that they first used to develop the menu. Hopefully he can bring back the bread service he opened with and get a little more comfortable with our produce and how to highlight it without leaving it unseasoned. Overall, fabulous patio, great service, yummy drink and good entree. Even if not every course was memorable, we still like Lana and are rooting for the kitchen. read more

A slice of heaven! Lana's upscale, casual decor seems just right for the north coast area of San Diego. It's lovely, and their happy hour fits right in. Two of us stopped in for happy hour which runs from Tue-Fri, and found a nice number of people already there. Not crowded, but the bar was almost full, and about a quarter of the tables filled at about 5 p.m. We shared a would mushroom pizza. This pizza had a nice crust that was crispy on the thinnest possible outside layer and soft on the inside. It's topped with mixed roasted wild mushrooms, 2 cheeses, olive oil, and shredded green onions-- just a few good quality ingredients that packed a fabulous flavor punch. I want to eat this every day! Almost forgot because I got carried away remembering that pizza! Their Old Fashioned was perfect, too. Very well made, and quite delicious. Amanda's service was outstanding. Polished, yet welcoming, and very helpful. Couldn't ask for more. But wait. There's more... Lana's in inKind, so $ even lower than normal happy hour prices. read more

Had a fantastic meal here celebrating an anniversary with my wife. Dale, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable, helping guide us through the menu concept. The ambiance is fun and modern. We had the peach burrata salad and shrimp egg rolls to start. For our main we enjoyed creekstone filet, roasted wild mushroom pizza and shared the carrot and turnips as a side. To top it all off the double chocolate pan cookie with honey comb icecream sealed the deal! An additional thanks is in order to Jamie as well as the manager Jackson both of whom made the occasion extra special for us! read more

We came here for New Year's Eve and also on a Friday night This place is hopping! Nice ambiance and really good food ! We had the shrimp spring rolls which were very flavorful. Will get them again. Then we had the Lana salad which was very good. Light and satisfying. Then I had the half baked chicken and hubby had the meatballs and the soup. Loved the chicken and meatballs. Soup was very good, but hubby wouldn't get it again. I would! The Aperol spritz was fab! Made perfectly. Violet our server New Year's Eve was fantastic ! Will Come again and again. read more

Being local we finally tried Lana for the first time. We sat outside with plenty of heat lamps making it very comfortable and away from the noisier inside. From the moment we arrived everyone was exceptionally friendly. Three of us split burrata and Caesar salads, a burger, pizza and crab cakes. Everything was delicious and service was well- paced. Especially liked the salads-very high quality. Would have liked some crackers or bread with the burrata salad and crab cakes. The wine list was better than most and offered a good variety. Among the many new restaurants in Solana Beach, Lana was one of the most enjoyable. If there's a negative it's that it's a bit expensive and it adds up. Our meal cost $200 including tip. Looking forward to returning, but not affordable to do weekly. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner the other night on a Friday and it was pretty busy even with the reservation. Definitely recommend making a reservation! There is plenty of free parking in the lot. We had to wait outside for about 15 minutes until we were seated. It was nice and cozy by the fire! The restaurant itself felt very cramped and like tables were too close together. It was hard to walk and get past people. The food was pretty good, but came out very slowly. Service was OK. I'd recommend trying if you're in the area. Food/drink review; Espresso martini: (4/5) Great flavor with a touch of cinnamon. Honey ginger chicken: (5/5) Honestly my favorite dish of the night. Soooo yummy! Great portion for sharing, but I definitely could've had this as my entree. Braised short rib: (4/5) Super tender and tasty. The inside was a little bit dry, but overall it was good. I really enjoyed the polenta. Potato puree: (3/5) Decent, but nothing special. Wouldn't order again. Spicy chorizo pizza: (5/5) I thought the pizza was delicious! Great flavor and the crust was tasty. Ricotta gnocchi: (4/5) Surprisingly really flavorful. I loved the texture and the sauce was yummy! French fries: (4/5) These were delicious! Crispy and tasty. The Aioli was really good! read more

We really like Lana. The outdoor patio has a great atmosphere, and the food is excellent. I'm always trying Caesar salads at different restaurants, and theirs is one of my favorites in North County. What really stands out is the friendly, personal service. You can tell it's locally owned and that they genuinely care about their guests. We'll definitely be back! read more

They took over the old CPK and kept the inside of the kitchen with the familiar yellow tiles Pizza here is good - I think whatever equipment they had plus the time to hone in on the crust; have done a good job with the pizza - slightly Burnt but otherwise flavorful - Yelpers selected Mushroom pizza so we went with that and confirmed it was pretty darn good I also picked the pork chop to venture out and it was fine but I found the pork chop flat and needed the bring the broccoli and sauce together bring some flavor profile in I recommend dining here for the many small bites, wine pairings, to hangout hangout for evening chit chat, get together with friends - atmosphere-wise that's the vibe it has read more

Lana - Pork chop was a little flat in flavor profile but bringing the Broccoli and sauce together helps - American Near Me - Solana Beach, California

Came in one night intending to only get dessert but was enticed to get a little savory snack as well. I really enjoyed the ambiance inside Lana. It used to be a CPK (which admittedly I loved and was sad when it left) but you would never know it because they really put a lot of work into the place to make it feel upscale, cozy, and trendy. One thing I didn't love though was that the table next to us was a little too close for comfort. It felt like we were constantly accidentally eavesdropping and vice versa. I know Lana was trying to maximize space but they have plenty of seating and I would have appreciated a little more space between tables. We ended up getting the fingerling potatoes and the Basque cheesecake. The potatoes were good, but I felt like they were a little dry and could have used more sauce and more salt. You did get a good sized portion though which I appreciated. The cheesecake was quite good, and I liked the berry coulis it came with. The service was a little slow, especially when we were trying to pay the check, but overall it was fine. The prices are also a bit steep, but I would need to have a full meal there to say whether or not I think the prices are fair for the quality of food. Overall very cute place, and I'm looking forward to going back sometime for a full meal to make a more well rounded review. read more

Lana has a really fun, lively vibe that makes it a great spot for a night out. The service was just okay. They were pretty busy and we didn't get a refill on water the entire time we were there. Service wasn't terrible, but nothing standout either. We tried a mix of dishes: the bread was amazing, the mushroom pizza was decent, the broccoli had great flavor but the sauce was way too salty, and the gnocchi was just okay. Overall, the food was fine but not particularly memorable. We hope to come back again and have a different experience. The biggest disappointment was the cocktails. They just missed the mark especially for $20. Lana is a cute spot with potential, but a few things could be improved for the price point. read more

Transformative! This restaurant had formerly been the neighborhood CPK for years. As a long-term Solana Beach resident, my family and I frequented CPK for years while my kids were growing up. Now that they've all grown up and left the area, it's fitting to recognize this restaurant's successful metamorphosis. It, too, has come of age, transforming into a vibrant and chic haven where adults can gather to dine and drink. It was packed for a Friday night. We had reservations for the bar seating at 7pm. Good thing we went there early. Apparently, we were informed by the 3 hostesses that " bar reservations" meant "first come first served". Fortunately, we nabbed two seats right in the middle of the bar. The full-service bar provided prompt, attentive service from its friendly and knowledgeable staff. We shared The Lana Chopped Salad and The Golden Spotted Baja SeaBass. The sea bass was delicate and savory, and the chopped salad had diverse layers of crunchy ingredients intertwined in a tasty subtle, not overpowering dressing. They have a nice selection of mocktails listed under 'Spirit Free'. I tried 'I've Come to the Right Place Then'. A Feragaia Scottish Zero Proof, lime and Ginger Beer mixture that was soothing and pleasurable. We've clearly found the right spot--the name of my mocktail shares the same sentiment! I love how this trendy new restaurant adds such a fresh, chic vibe to our casual beach town. read more

Service was top notch. Food was good. The ambiance was perfect. I went out with a girlfriend and she chose to come here. We were seated at the bar quickly. We were early so it wasn't busy. Both of the bartenders that were working were so nice. They made us several drinks with no wait time(I should have asked for their names because they were awesome). Our food came out fresh and in a timely manner. My favorite was the yellowtail crudo and tuna tartar. The Basque cheesecake was soooo good!! It was super duper busy by the time we finished up. I'd definitely come back here again for the excellent service and good food. read more

Excellent Happy Hour in Solana Beach! We were looking for a new Happy Hour on a Friday and found Lana on InKind. It's easy to locate on Historic 101 in the former CPK location. The Happy Hour menu had drink specials and seven food items. We were drawn to two items Spicy Tuna Tartare (5/5 $18HH) and Wild Mushroom Pizza (5/5 $19 HH) -- one of the best we've ever eaten. Of the Lana Cocktails, we each chose the Old Fashioned (5/5 $13 HH), which were excellent. Service was outstanding. The hostess greated us warmly and seated us away from the bar, which was standing room only. Our server was helpful and attentive. Drinks and food were delivered faster than we expected considering how busy Lana was at the time. The restaurant itself looks great with large windows on three sides. There's a large island bar near the front door, which was packed during Happy Hour. With a crowd and the hard surfaces, Lana is noisy -- downright loud -- which detracts from the overall enjoyment of Lana. All said, I'd give Lana **** 1/2 based on this experience. We'll be back! read more

Amazing service 5+ stars. Food was just ok. We ordered 6 items and 3 were good to excellent and 3 were forgettable or regrettable. So if you can order just the winners it might be a top tier experience. What not to order, chopped salad, pork belly croquet and the bruschetta (pretty but also pretty tiny). Chicken was the star along with the mushroom pizza and I think we had some lamb meatballs but not seeing them on the menu at time of review. Maybe just reading reviews and ordering the most well highlighted dishes is the best bet, then you're not rolling the die read more

This place is so cute. Like the vibes are popping here. First off, I want to give a big shoutout to my waitress Violet. She is absolutely incredible and exceeded all my expectations. Very attentive, friendly, and kind. I felt super welcome and really enjoyed my experience that much more. She's amazing like 12/10 stars for her. Okay, the food. We got the Artisan bread: loved the rosemary bread and the pretzel rolls with that soft butter. Absolutely delicious. Carbs? We love her. Black Mission Fig Bruschetta: Not your traditional bruschetta. It's super yummy though because it has some sweetness from the fig and the balsamic but it's cut by the cream on top. I thought this was a refreshing take. Liked it a lot. Wild Mushroom Tagliatelle: I love hand cut pasta and this feels very fresh and awesome. As a mushroom lover, I loved the assortment of mushrooms on this one. I'd have liked a pinch more salt in mine but that's something you can always add. Better than the other way around. If you do not absolutely love mushrooms, don't get this because it's very mushroom forward. My friend doesn't love mushrooms so she did not have it. I personally loved it though. Housemate Ricotta Gnocchi: Lots of ricotta inside. Was soft. Lovely little dish. Comfort food for sure. Mocktails: I forgot to get a picture but we both got the Cedros cooler and it was super yummy. Cute little red drink with a lime. Refreshing. I love when restaurants have a spirit free section as someone who doesn't drink. It makes me feel fancy and welcome and not limited to just water or soda. Okay back to the vibes: this place was happening. The bar was busy and exciting from what I observed. Even the bathroom was cool and vibes with the lights and the decor. I adore it. I'd recommend this place to people in Solana Beach for sure. read more

Lana restaurant in Solana Beach is located off of Hwy 101 in a complex along with other businesses. This restaurant does NOT have coastal ocean views. Plenty of free parking. The hostesses were hospitable and accommodated my outdoor seating request with my furbaby in tow. Service from waiter Michael and the servers were attentive and helpful. However, I was specific on the sequence on which items to bring out; first yellowtail sashimi, then the pasta and lastly the pizza...sadly my specific request was NOT followed, quite the opposite. I believe the kitchen staff made this error. I noticed a large bar lounge with a lively crowd. The indoor dining was filled with diners. The outdoor patio was nice with awnings and an outdoor fireplace but too simplistic and could have had more green foliage to block views of the parking lot and the highway for more dining privacy. The menu is limited but does offer something for most diners, carnivores, pescatarians and vegans. I wanted to try several items but made the following selections to: Yellowtail sashimi, Wild mushrooms pizza and gnocchi. I had some trepidation but surprisingly, every dish was bewildering wonderful. After eating the yellowtail sashimi and gnocchi, both light I had two slices of the wild mushrooms pizza, which had a taste essence of truffles and the ricotta topping was an added plus. Although this restaurant does not have ocean views, this casual but elevated coastal restaurant was worth a visit. Recommend read more

Lana, short for "Solana", debuts its modern coastal American cuisine this week. Despite its beautiful interior design and promising menu, the food did not impress. We started with their California seabass ceviche at $21. This dish was bursting with citrus and herbal flavors. My biggest concern was the lack of tostada or chips, which is traditionally how ceviche is served. I had expressed this feedback with the owner and staff and appreciated their response. In addition, we tried the black mission fig bruschetta at $14. This dish comes with two small bruschettas topped with burrata, balsamic glaze, olive oil and figs. This classic recipe was simple and delightful. Slightly overpriced at $7 per bruschetta. This dish could have been elevated with an acidic finish such as fresh pomegranate seeds or pomegranate glaze. Lastly, we split the $29 wagyu beef burger. The burger itself was cooked perfectly. Pickles were on the side which is thoughtful. The aged cheddar was melted to perfection and the flavors of the wagyu and cheddar paired nicely with the jalapeño marmalade. I would certainly order this if I were to come back again. The french fries were good as well but could have been elevated with some truffle oil and finely grated parm and herbs. Overall, Lana has A LOT of potential and plenty of time to work out the kinks of their beautiful new location. The staff was attentive and friendly. With a few adjustments to their dishes and pricing, Lana can certainly grow to be one of the hottest spots in Northern SD! read more
