A fine grocery store, with expanded options compared to other chains. They had a very large meat and seafood section, and bakery. The prices are definitely higher than in Maryland, at my local Safeway, but I was able to find a similar selection of products. The cashier was nice and it was a fine shopping experience.

When it comes to Pavilions there products are top notch. They got sales for everything and that may not sound like much but when you hear Tomahawk steak for 5 a pound?? It gets crazy. To add to that, everything is fresh and when I mean fresh, fresher than fresh. So, if your new here or visiting, you gotta come here for food.

The Pharmacy was very, very slow. But the store overall is fabulous.

I dont shop here. Mainly because I live in Northern California (thats quite a trip for a NY strip and some potato salad) . But I want to thank you on behalf of Sam the Cooking Guy. The bell looks wonderful, and now maybe I dont have to hear about it any more.P.S. The meat looks great!!!

Why is there no one at the deli counter ever? How are they supposed to know when someone is waiting? They could easily put a bell up. How hard would that be? Anytime I go by I am waiting and will always see someone else just hoping someone comes out. Its not rocket science! Put a bell up!

I am a regular Pavilions customer and shop at the Carmel Valley store weekly. As time has gone on I have become familiar with several of the stores employees. I have received great service from virtually all on them. However, I have to mention the excellent advice and help I have been given by Robin, the produce manager. Produce is probably my least informed area of expertise and she always points me towards the freshest, best fruits and veggies that are typically in season....Shes a dynamite employee and I guess she lives there since she always seems to be on hand to help customers like me. Well Done Robin....Keep up the hard work!

Jenny did an unbelievable job of retrieving a personal item I had lost at the store. She followed up with me promptly and professionally. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Jenny went the extra mile, above and beyond, to ensure my personal belongings were kept safe and returned to me promptly! Great team work!

My favorite Vons in all of San diego, their baked products are wonderful, the cheese selection is a must see, and the meats section are the best of cuts. Oh, and dont forget their flower section so fragrant with such beautiful variety.15/10 I always make a point to stop in here whenever I am in the area.

First off, Pavilions is a great store. They have all the things you need. We went here yesterday to get some things because we are on vacation is San Diego. They had everything we needed. The sushi that’s about really close in the same mall called Gami Sushi is excellent. We always go there. Back to the point, I highly recommend this store.

Review №31

Dishonest staff(some)Such a bad shopping experience. I’m traveling alone with my dog and the hotel doesn’t allow me to leave him in the room alone. But I need to do some grocery shopping. So I called ahead to ask if I can bring my dog inside. I made it clear that he’s not a service dog. The guy told me I can and many ppl do so. He didn’t sound very sure and I asked him are you sure. He said yes. Upon entering the mart, I was also told I can bring him in. But when I was gonna check out, the lady at the line told me to put my dog outside. I couldn’t possibly leave him in the car in such a hot day. So I had to tie his leash to a chair under the shade and ask the lady outside for help (who’s super nice). But this is so bad. I understand if the sipermarkrt doesn’t allow animals cuz most don’t ( some do tho ). But I was very much fooled and embarrassed and had to put my dog in not so safe situation. And no one apologized for giving me wrong information. Someone even said receptionist told me no. That was such a dishonest statement. That is the worst!I called again to ask for an apology and the lady at the line did apologize for the fact that I was given wrong information. But she also said my dog was misbehaving and that’s why she asked me to put him outside. My dog is always by my side with such a short leash, never barked and super friendly - I wrapped the leash around my arm to keep him so close to me being aware of the distance from ppl. But anyways, these could have been all avoided if they weren’t giving me false info. Super annoyed and disappointed.

Review №35

Best place in Carmel valley to pickup wine or sprints with the help of Jeff, an on site somm. Prices on food items tend to be higher than the neighborhood Ralphs and Trader Joes. Youre going to easily spend $100 plus on only 1-2 bags of groceries. They also recently have had repeated outages of their coolers rendering your trip useless to shop the perimeter for any meats or dairy.

Average supermarket. The thing that gets me is no way of getting ahold of someone at the meat counter. You have to hope someone sees and comes out. Can we get a bell at the meat counter?

Review №42

Finding this store was a saving grace during lockdown. The wine selection alone is fodder for legends! Pair that with the sidecar of their cheeses, and youre already forgetting life before quarantine. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. We recently moved to San Diego and have argued it was worth it if not for finding this store!

They have a big organic produce section and a huge selection of alcohol. The problem is that after the re-did the alcohol section, the prices went way up to! Not really worth the prices for most wines there. But, people are really friendly and they do a fun taste testing that you can sign up for via their newsletter.

Yep! Its a luxury to leisurely browse if youre a young mom with children in tow, if youre an executive who has PA to do your shopping!Our Lady of Good Success, triumph and reign!

Did pick up - 5 day wait, time wasted waiting after the clerk indicated a short wait outside it was an hour longer. I ended up having to shop in store anyway. The store is much better prepared/safe to shop direct now with all the new social distancing measures.

Wow... Came by to grab something quick for lunch while at work; this is a REALLY nice grocery store. Theyve got quality selections of salads, a big salad bar, Boars Head freshly made sandwiches (I picked one of these up), freshly made sushi, hot food bar & a pretty impressive fresh cheese cutting bar to get any cheese you want in the amount you want. I plan on going back to walk around & take the selections of other items in that I didnt have a chance to see today. Check it out!

I highly recommend going to Pavilions for your local shopping needs. They have a wonderful staff that will be happy to assist you in finding your groceries and having a pleasant experience there. They also remodeled in summer 2018 so there is a very modern, happy look to it. There is also an excellent selection of ready-made food there, from an elegant Starbucks to a Boars Head deli

I am from the UK on hoilday and my boss asked me to buy him a good bottle of Calofornia wine whilst I was here. I found Pavilions by accident and what a find.They have a wine tasting section and the best selection of wine in what is a supermarket. They have a walk in chilled section ! Jeff was on duty with Mary and boy did they have knowledge. Amazing experience and best service ever. So impressed

I went to get a sandwich and they had a new guy in training. He was doing a wonderful job but had too many people training him. He was getting frustrated with 5 people telling him what to do. An older woman came up to him and absolutely embarrassed him in front of customers! Absolutely unacceptable. Pavillions management, make sure you have 1 person training a new employee, and make sure they have better customer service.
