an example of El Rey Sol possibly being along the lines of what I was looking for, and that places like Mariscos Bahia Ensenada or Mariscos Playa Azul
were not.
I appreciate all the suggestions that have been made taking these thoughts into account.

I think of "fine dining" as a type of dining experience: the environment, dining room, tabletop, service, the menus and the depth of the wine/spirits
lists. I'd consider the drive out to the Guadalupe Valley wine region for a memorable and unexpected fine dining experience. They are passionate about
the local food and wine there (Baja-Med). jmo.

All depends on outside, unsolicited motivation. Have to wait and see what comes up.

Well I'm off in about 15 minutes and it looks like it's time for some "fine" drinkin' ". Looks like Margarita time to me.
Note I said 'Fine drinkin' so as not to be off topic again. Least we be scolded........

Over decades, we have favored El Rey Sol as the "go-to" spot for fine dining. Probably the best boneless rabbit I ever encountered.
That said, and I don't have absolute confirmation, but I believe that the owner, Jean Loup Bitterlin resides NOB most of the time in that past several
years.
As a result, at least in my experience, the restaurant does have some off nights.
But, when they are on their game, you really cannot do better in the area.

Jean-Loup is the president of the Ensenada Hotel Association, spends his time in Ensenada like a good Ensenada business owner.
Yes, you can do better. Fine dining all over Ensenada.......try Sano's

Do they still have opera nights at El Rey Sol?
One of the first times I went there (about 12 years ago) about halfway through dinner a gentleman sat down and the piano and a very young lady came up
to the piano and started singing an aria from "La Boheme". Beautiful voice. I was completely stunned. Last thing I would have expected.
I asked the waiter, and he explained that the pianist was a local teacher who brought in some of his pupils a couple of times/week to give them some
experience performing in front of a crowd.
This happened a couple more times over the next five years or so, but it was impossible to predict when they would be there.
Is this still going on?
To me, a large part of the charm of eating there is that it is possible to envision how this was an outpost of old world culture in the old days of
HWY 1. Can you imagine coming into Ensenada from the south, after days of travelling the old road, and having dinner at El Rey Sol?

Kasheydog...
Is there some reason ALL your posts have to be in BOLD type???
Are you afraid your posts won't stand out enough, be missed, or not read??
Maybe some need for attention???
Try toning them down a bit!!

Nomad Amigos...Here\'s hoping you all have safe Baja travels, amazing sunrises, sunny days, comforting breezes, beautiful sunsets, tasty tacos,
cold cervezas and frosty margaritas!!

Yes, SANTA. I have this overwhelming need for attention. I had really hoped you would see my posts so maybe this year I'll get
something for Christmas. How about a pair of reading glasses so I can read your posts, SANTA.............
I am getting old enough for those you know....
