Whether meeting friends for a self-care break in the middle of the holidays or enjoying a dinner out with family, Plaza Rancho Bernardo offers a traditional shopping atmosphere with multiple choices.
“There’s a lot to do here, and the Plaza is dressed for the season, renovated and ready for shoppers,” said Benda Farrell, senior property manager at Plaza Rancho Bernardo.
The center’s eateries are one area in which guests have multiple options.
“As soon as I mention the Plaza to people, the first thing they always do is tell me which restaurant they love here,” Farrell said.
