Pandemic Postpones Opening of the Sky Deck in North County

Though it was originally scheduled to open back in June, the pandemic has delayed the Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, the new 20,000-square-foot restaurant collective located above Jimbo’s in the Carmel Valley complex.

Now set to grand open in February 2021, it’ll house a number of mostly local or brand new eateries, each with their own seating areas, as well as a central cocktail bar called Understory.

Negotiations are underway for the remaining spaces, but the current restaurant roster includes:

• Ambrogio15 - This location will have an exclusive pizza menu from a Michelin-starred Italian chef
• J - Modern Mediterranean from the owners of Beeside Balcony in Del Mar
• Kiin Extraordinary Thai - Operated by the owners of Plumeria Vegetarian in University Heights
• Le Parfait Paris -Local French bakery and cafe
• Marufuku Ramen - Acclaimed Hakata-style ramen from the Bay Area
• Urbana Mexican Gastronomy - Its original location is inside the Anaheim Packing District
• Ziziki’s - Greek street food from Beeside Balcony

A mezzanine-level beer garden, called The Brewers Deck, will be shared by Northern Pine Brewing, Boochcraft Kombucha, and Rough Draft Brewing.
