“Wow - I've never had a dining experience quite like this!! Went out to celebrate me and my siblings birthdays.First off, this was the best service I've ever experienced in a restaurant, thanks to all the staff there but particularly our server, Megan. She was utterly delightful! She answered all our questions about dishes and was spot on with her descriptions. The carrot cake she recommended was truly delicious!! She was attentive and detail-oriented in the best way.They brought us hand-written birthday cards and a three very large and yummy macarons with candles on the house!The food was absolutely fantastic. Especially the hash browns, mac n cheese, and the lamb. The espresso martini is the best I've ever had, it didn't taste like alcohol which was perfect :PThe design inside and on the rooftop is immaculate, really a beautifully designed space.We were there for three hours, didn't feel rushed, and truly got to soak in the evening European-style with multiple courses and a beautiful sunset. Will definitely be back for a special occasion :)“
“Best steakhouse in San Diego and one of my favorites in the country- and that's comparing to Chicago and NYC. This restaurant is unique. From the ambiance to the service to the high quality food, it's a special place to go to. I've been here multiple times now and each time is fantastic. It's an old-school steakhouse, where service is top notch, attentive, well-timed, helpful with knowledgeable staff- it's just service you don't see much in San Diego. And the staff seem to enjoy working there. Everything is executed well with outstanding flavor and quality- I think they should be considered for a Michelin star! You get good value for the price and the amuse-bouche along with the palate cleanser before the entree is such a great touch! We had the wedge salad, bread, waygu steak and ribeye. Mushrooms as a side and the bread pudding for dessert. Let's just start with the bacon on the wedge salad- I didn't want it to end. The blue cheese was mild and I'm ok with that. Steaks are cooked perfectly. We wanted to share so they gave us our own plates with the sides on them, then put the steaks between us so we could easily cut and share (they will split it for you too, we just wanted to cut our own). Both were great but this 'ribeye regular' thinks the waygu strip steak is the star. I think it's my favorite steak on the menu! Tender and full of flavor. The mushrooms are excellent as were the house made sauces. Their steak sauce is the best and the peppercorn is fantastic. Their creamy horseradish was too mild for me- I wanted a little more bite and flavor so if you want horseradish flavor, get it raw. Dessert was just ok. We had the chocolate chip bread pudding with butterscotch sauce and chocolate ice cream. I prefer bread pudding to be sliced from a loaf- it's more moist that way. Here it is individually prepared and they warm it up before serving. But it comes out a little charred and even with the sauce it's too dry for me. The butterscotch sauce was excellent as was the ice cream. It just fell a little short for me but still giving a 5, because here, it's about the proteins. The ambiance is vintage western, down to the music and posters- it's really pretty cool. Don't forget to check out the moving bar- the alcohol moves up and down when they need it- very industrial and cool. They book up a few weeks in advance but if you come right when they open you can get the full menu at the bar. They have a great bar menu too. There is also bar seating by the kitchen but that requires a reservation- that's next for me as I love watching the chefs prepare food. It's pricey but you get great value and service for it. It's close to Petco park or the Rady shell- not the best neighborhood but it's a hidden gem. A favorite San Diego restaurant for me.“
“Beautiful restaurant. Interior booths need an update due to becoming discolored. The tables by the window give a great ambiance. The crab cakes were delicious and seasoned well. The Augratin potatoes were amazing. First time ever eating Brussel sprouts, and they changed my life. I actually want to eat them now. lol ? Overall great experience. The service is great, from the greeter to the waiter to the kitchen. Would return.“
“I had to arrange a dinner for a large group, which went flawlessly with the excellent service from Christy (assisted with arranging a menu) and Enrico our server. They went above and beyond and made sure that everything went smoothly. The food was outstanding and the views simply gorgeous. The portions of food were also very large!What a wonderful restaurant with employees that are highly competent, courteous, and customer focused. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!“
“Rare Society is one of the best restaurants for our Christmas Eve dinner. The rib eye was so tender, even when asked for well done. Mine was a bit too charred on the outside, however. The rolls were delicious, hot, and melted in your mouth. The ceasar salad was the best I had with so much cheese! The service was wonderful and attentive. Worth a visit for that special occasion.“
“Our experience today was nothing less than exceptional! We had the pleasure of having Nola as our server. She was kind and attentive. The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. We enjoy coming during the lunch time hours to avoid the large crowds. So if you’re every getting a craving for a good ribeye don’t hesitate to come to the Plaza Bonita Outback and ask for Nola!“
“Best place I have been to in years, and I eat out at least 4 times a week. Amazing food and best service! Eloquent and trendy decor but no stuffy white table cloths. I usually cringe at the meet presentation but don't at this one. Wine selection was very very impressive, 77 pages and something for everyone!!! So good, I am going back tomorrow night.“
“Excellent food. Atmosphere was fun and a bit positive quirky blast from the past ol' time steakhouses. Enjoyed the experience and the people. Will put the Red Fox on our to do list for dinner each time for our trips now that we have regular meetings to San Diego.“
“A lovely steakhouse on the high end side. Beautiful restaurant! It used to be the old Hunters many years ago. The bar is very nice. Food was excellent. Loved the lamp light on the tables. You can actually change the light from low to high dim by touching it. (Yes, it was cool to have that so I can read my menu when it can be dark in the rooms). Typical fancy resraurants. :) Overall fantastic staff, service, and location.“
“Brink your grub on. This place rocks, it's filled with plenty of patrons who adore the feeling of community togetherness. Drinks are spot on, being that it's lent, I ordered the salmon kabob, tasty. My friends had the ribeyes, which they have the privilege of never cooking one over an open fire. Lesson learned and new friends made along the way. Outstanding garlic bread to add to the grill and toast to your perfection. No one to blame for I'll prepared meal here. Can't blame society. Cheers“
“I have hosted corporate events here a few times over the last few years and it has always been a great experience. Its close to the convention center for the convenience of our crowd and we always get comments about the delicious food and drinks. Working with Arian is so easy and the staff we had working our event in 2023 was amazing as always (Julian, Bobby, Natalie, Kyle, Ashleigh)“
“Love this place, it is perfect for date night, high class vibe, affordable prices, GREAT service.. Hostess Amy is very attentive, but not needy.. The menu is pretty basic in a good way, an priced spot on. Oh and the octopus is brag worthy, priced perfect, quality is awesome and the quantity is almost too much..YUM.. Lighting is on the dimmer side, however it makes the leather interior pop.. Makes you almost feel underdressed and not worthy. Waiting for Elvis or Sinatra to walk in any minute... All in all, perfect place our date night, you SHOULD try it..!!“

“I've seen this place for yearssss and never thought to stop in, but my salon hosted a dinner here, and this place was a little vibe, kinda lowkey . The food was good with live music . Definitely gave a casino vibe with the decor, but it's definitely a cool little date spot with ya friends or man's “
“My wife and I found this place a few years back and we never looked back! We loved everything about this steakhouse! The service is spot on and the steak was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family visiting San Diego!! My wife and I just celebrated our Anniversary here and our hostess went out of her way to make our visit here special!“
“Great place for Prime Rib. Mine was Parmesan crusted and really delicious. A different twist for Prime Rib. Came with a large baked potato and Caesar Salad. The Old Fashion wasn't bad either. As long as I've lived in California, this was my first time here but it won't be my last. Stephanie was a great server too!“
“Wonderful experience! My boyfriend and I ate here for the first time because we are visiting, and we are now going to be coming back every time. Outdoor ambiance is lovely, and the two very kind bussers turned on the heaters for us. Alec was our server and he was very knowledgeable and nice. Seriously great staff here, loved all of them. :) Food was delish too! Way better than Water Grill lol.“
“I love dining at STK especially during happy hour! Nick is one of the most phenomenal bartenders ever, entertaining and a total superstar, always makes everything a great time. Then there is Scott, GM who is attentive, welcoming and makes sure you have the best experience. I love this place! Gives off sexy vibes, great for intimate dining, big parties or celebrations.“
“Great food and service. The wait times can be extremely long. I put my name on waitlist before i left home and it was a 45 min wait. I got there exactly 45 mins and still waited for 40 mins. But overall still worth the wait especially to try something different.“
“It was the first time that I had ever been to Greystone and let me tell you it was a wonderful experience. The food is top grade and delicious. The chef outdid himself. However it wasn’t just the food and the beautiful surroundings… All the staff were wonderful and attentive… professional… and particularly Michael and Sara. It wasn’t just about the service, they made the evening an experience. They were a pleasure to be around, and truly made the my birthday dinner even better. Their attention to detail and responsiveness, along with the little touches, made the entire night. I absolutely recommend Greystone and when you’re there, ask for Michael and Sara.“
“I started with a Australian lemonade (from the bar. It was very delicious). I had a top sirloin cooked perfectly MR. The are running a special salad or other choices. Steak or chicken and cheesecake for dessert. I think the bill ran in the middle 30's our server was on point with everything, you can tell he was not a rookie.Parking: Park on the side of Target. You'll be closer the The Outback“

“Food and service was brilliant! My husband had the delicious fish and chips and I had the Impossible Philly which was fabulous! Our waitress was so cheerful and friendly! My Aussie husband got to experience great American customer service.Vegetarian options: Impossible Philly all the way!“
“Some @sshole reviews here, I mean, it's Black Angus not a $500 for two steak house and for the price point, it's great! Level set on expectations for those thinking they are going to a Mastros!We ate here as we are local and was looking for something quick and nearby. Honestly, it felt really well run, I am sure powered by Latinos --- you can tell the hustle and care! Me encanta! The decor is old and if you been in a Black Angus in 1990s, well it hasn't changed since, but still, great price point and decent steaks!“
