Del Mar Rendezvous Undergoes Extensive Remodel to Better Accommodate Guests and Improve Restaurant Flow
After investing over a quarter-million dollars into changes, the restaurant now boasts a larger patio, brand new equipment and locally purchased antique Chinese art.
- San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) October 15, 2011 - After opening in the spring of 2004, Del Mar Rendezvous, serving Chinese Fusion Cuisine, announced the near completion of its major, quarter million dollar renovation, all while only closing for about two weeks. In its eight years of serving the Del Mar community, this is the first time the space has undergone any major upgrades, design changes or additions to its space.
"Our decision to remodel is attributable to both some outdated décor as well as a great amount of helpful comments and recommendations from our guests," said Dan Schreiber, owner of Del Mar Rendezvous.
The dining room now boasts new dining booths, tables, a wine and art display, as well as designer and antique light fixtures to enhance the restaurant's romantic, upscale ambience.
"More than just an aesthetic remodel, this has been a complete reworking of the restaurant for us. Our vision was thought-out over several years and directed towards improving guests' experience and overall restaurant flow," said Schreiber. "The changes have made an enormous difference in our ability to handle the increased business we have experienced over the past few years at the restaurant. It has also enabled the wait staff to provide even better service to our guests despite this increase in business, which is extremely important to us."
With the new amenities, Del Mar Rendezvous' now has a white wine specific temperature-controlled wine refrigerator, a more extensive wine selection, four types of beer on draft, a high-end wine cellar, and organic, free-trade and sustainably produced teas and coffees, in French Presses.
"The recent remodel has not only changed the functionality of the restaurant from the way it was before, but it has inspired our team to make positive changes to continue enhancing our guests' experience moving forward," said Schreiber.
Perhaps one of the most ambiance-altering aspects of the remodel comes from the ancient Chinese artwork that now adorns the restaurant's interior. Traditional pieces and sculptures from China set the tone for Rendezvous' serene dining and foyer area.
"Since the art pieces have been added, guests will often inquire about the history and meaning of them and are intrigued to hear that some date back 200 years," said Schreiber. "One of my favorite symbols in the restaurant is the jade carving of horses galloping into the heavens. It's a lucky Chinese symbol, representing the power, grace and speed of horses. I see it as a good omen for the prosperity and success I want my restaurant to have."
The two restrooms feature brand new sinks made from actual woks, inspired by the chef, and are adorned with actual antique Chinese scrolls with an almost life-size painting of an emperor, to indicate the "gentlemen," and an empress, to indicate "women."
In line with the restaurant's effort to "reduce its environmental impact," high efficiency toilets with sensor operated, solar powered, dual-flush flushometers were installed, which allow for a great deal of energy and water efficiency.
"We were fortunate to have many opportunities to reduce our energy usage and environmental impact during the remodel. Still, there are many other elements we are working on to fulfill what we feel is our responsibility to become as green a business as possible."
In addition to new tables, chairs and lighting, Del Mar Rendezvous' outdoor patio was nearly tripled in size with brand new heaters, lighting and planters positioned throughout the length of the patio. The new pet-friendly patio also allows guests to enjoy alcoholic beverages while dining outdoors.
