Dining at the Town & Country Resort has inspired the birth of many traditions…and one tasteful new addition is Trellises Garden Grille. Trellises’ menu features creative appetizers, healthy, light entrees, a variety of pastas and pizzas, hearty meats, fresh seafood, vegetable entrees and lavish desserts with a genuine California flair.

Kelly’s Steakhouse & Irish Pub continues a tradition of serving some of the best slow-roasted prime rib you’ll ever taste. And whether you join the nightly sing-along at Kelly’s famous piano bar, dance to live popular music by some of San Diego’s best artists at Trellises, or just sit back, relax and wrap up the evening with a nightcap you’ll have the time of your life.

For casual dining, try the Terrace Café. Grab a quick bite at the Sunshine Deli. Or meet at Charlie’s for fun eats, a game of pool or your favorite beverage while you catch the latest sports scores on the giant screen TV.
