“Great music good people. We visited N City Spirts Lounge for a birthday party who received VIP service. It was a fun evening. I would recommend going to this establishment if you are in the area and enjoy listening and dancing to R&B and Hip Hop. The DJ is phenomenal.“
“Started Going there in 2018 right by the freeway and train tracks off of Harbor Dr.. I cannot remember but I think the bartender's name was Carmen - great great woman. The reason I kept coming back was because of her. Been gone for a couple of years and last night stopped by. Once again the bartender whose name was Mari or similar was outstanding and beautiful!! Beer is always cold!!“
“Fantastic tap room in National City. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and whoever did the beer list artwork is very talented. I don't get down to National City very often, but this is a must-visit spot on the list now. Great beer list and great folks.“
“We had a good time at Aje Lounge. The service was on point, and the music was amazing. I highly recommend this place if you want to relax and enjoy your drinks. The drinks aren't watered.Parking: Parking is readily available and it's free.“
“Gerry's Grill is my family's go to spot for sit down filipino food. Tita's is still #1 for my fave filipino restaurant overall, but Gerry's brings a more festive atmosphere for us to enjoy. The service is great, and if you're lucky, you might eat with live music! Highly recommend ??“
“Best place to go for dinner in San Diego. Authentic French cuisine, excellent winery and bar and a great service. We've been here several times now whenever we have visited San Diego and have never been disappointed. Thank you Ludo and team!“
“It was a lovely Sunday Easter Brunch. Don’t miss the standard on the menu Pork Belly and polenta!Kid-friendliness: The staff is very attentive. They could tell that my waitress hadn’t been here for a minute and the front hostess person saw that and she came over and immediately took our drink order before our entrée order.“
“The cashier recommended the taco platter because i was so overwhelmed by the complete plant based ingredient menu, I didn't know where to start, do I really enjoyed the taco platter with tree variations of the taco ingredients ,all plant based that completely out did any conventional Mexican food i had ever had, and the energy i felt afterwards was great in comparison to wanting to pass out from food coma“
“The gentlemen were super nice and really attentive to my preferences. It blew my mind the way they combined ingredients to make the cocktails taste exactly how you wanted them to. I had a Tiramisu cocktail for dessert and it was phenomenal!“
“Updating my review as I fondly remember my visit here more than a year ago. Best restaurant I've ever been to. Got a table by the kitchen and the chef working there was wonderful to talk to. Top notch service, amazing staff. I've never had a better culinary experience. Hope to return here soon.“
“Another speak easy in San Diego! Located inside a bakery. Making reservations for the weekday was pretty easy. I made mine the same day. This is a Japanese inspired bar. They offer small food from the bakery. Kitchen closes at 9pm. My friend and I shared the chicken sando sandwich. The bread was so soft and fluffy. Assuming the bakery baked it. The drinks were good and standard pricing. I got a refreshing drink while my friend got an old fashion. There's a bar area seating and some tables. They also had a bigger room in the back for big groups. Chill spot to talk and sip on drinks.“
“Cannot say enough good things about WestBrew. Great staff, a good beer and wine selection and an amazing atmosphere. We recently hosted a professional mixer there on a Saturday evening and they were happy to take us! Their food was great too. Thanks WestBrew! We hope to be back.“
“atmosphere needs a 10 star option because this is truly one of the best spots in SD for a great theme.the drinks are a bit pricey $15-19 but worth the ambiance of the bar. The food is also high quality. mostly appetizers and finger food but presented and taste amazing. Great date night spot.“
“We visited False Idol for the first time on a Thursday at 10pm. We ran behind that evening and had to cancel our 9:15pm reservation with short notice. Despite this, we were greeted very warmly by the hosts and offered standing room. The ambiance inside is so fun. We were only standing for a minute or two before Elle(so?) made us feel at home, recommending delicious cocktails to try and took our order. The drinks came quickly. The Mac But Chi Chi was the hands down best drink ever. Period. I was so happy for that suggestion! The other drinks were delicious too and we were even escorted to a table that had opened up. It was the best way to end our evening and I can't wait to visit again! Thank you, False Idol, for such a lovely night!“
“Featured in the Michelin Guide for the past 3 years, we couldn’t not try Sovereign. On our first day we walked to the East Village in San Diego where Sovereign is located to check it out. I’m glad we did as it tuned out to be in a not very nice area in San Diego. Armed with this knowledge when visited we did so by Uber.When we arrived and we were sat in a booth, which I always like.We ordered….Thai cracking sticks.Northern Thai Spicy Sausage. I know the clue is in the name but these were extremely spicy.They had run out of the Golden Crispy Pork Belly so we had Hat Yai Fried Chicken with Tomato Chili Jam.It had the most amazing crispy skin like Peking duck but even better. The chicken was so tender.We also had Dry Turmeric Curry, which had a deliciously mild spice on the minced meat.All in all we enjoyed the food here, particularly the mains which were fantastic.“
“Attended an event here last night and their catering menu was on point! The truffle mac and cheese was a personal fave because you could take the premium cheeses used to create it. I also really enjoyed the frisky fried cauliflower and the pretzel bites! The service was also great. The servers refilled my drinks and took my empty plates promptly. This restaurant is perfect for a date night or a small private event! Looks like it would be a really good vibe on a weekend as they also had a DJ. I would definitely recommend this place! S/O to Chef Shawn for the delicious dishes!“
“One of the cooler speakeasy-esque bars that I’ve been to. It’s located behind some old school doors which we didn’t realize at first but once inside, the vibe is spot on. The cocktails were delicious and high quality. They’re also playing some great tunes which sets the mood nicely. Would recommend if you’re in the area!“
“Best beef ribs I've ever had. I wish there was one close to me, but alas I will have to wait til I can visit the area again.Line/wait was a bit long but worth. Service was super friendly, like almost too friendly but it's nice that they paid closed attention to all their tables.Update #1: got to try again! Still yummy, and portions are big, now I have takeout to enjoy tomorrow too!!“
“Definitely make a reservation. Totally hip place. Great service. Food is OK. Sadly, the swordfish was not tasty at all. In fact, it was very watery. Definitely not five star tries to be a little too Fancy and a little too much seasoning. And a whole lot of smoky of everything. Cocktails are incredible. Bartender was so good. Decor is just basic. But it’s a very busy place with a really nice little patio out front.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly based on menu and Quaintance of the restaurant maybe at lunchtime it is but not for dinner“
“Well I can say it's an experience to go here! If you're looking for a lively fun yet uniquely different experience come to Baja Betty's order one of their unique drinks and you will see what I'm talking about. The food was fast the drinks were great and when I say strong I mean STRONG!“
“Very trendy place in Barrio Logan. Our waitress was awesome! It was 6 of us and she helped pick some tasty drinks to get our girls night out started. Came here in a Friday night, it was pretty busy but we had reservations so they sat us quick!! Good place to just drink and have fun!“
“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.“
“Classic San Diego indoor-outdoor set up where you can't tell if your table is in the dining room or the patio. They kept the feel of the old dealership which was neat! Vegetable dishes were so fun and satisfying, especially when you wipe the plate with the sourdough. Roasted carrots were an explosion of flavors, as was the caulilini. Oreo beignets were a little on the undercooked side but a fun option. Mezcal drinks were also great!“
“The food was excellent. The service stood out as amazing. Six out of five stars. I asked for a sample of the Molé Poblano to taste, and they brought me all four. This is above and beyond and much appreciated. All four moles, by the way, were amazing. I had the Chile Relleno , and it did not disappoint.The margaritas were really good as well.The decor and ambience was cool. All of the walls are clear shelves with tequila bottles all over the place. Very cool.“
“Visiting friends in San Diego and this was one of my favorite stops from a night out.Drinks are awesome and reasonably priced for CA (I’m from the MW prices where cheap)The energy of this place was amazing! Happy energetic people who know how to have a good time. Karaoke was amazing and everyone had a good time doing it or just watching.Overall my experience was great and will definitely return when I’m back in SD!“
“I love this hidden Gem.Never had a bad exp. Always friendly clean looking employees. Good is fresh tasting and its very mod. Priced. Cant say enough goodthings about this place. My first time i had a waiter by name of Luke. He was very attentive and super patient. I go now for the fiod and vibes but cane back cuz of the service he showed. Great place“
“This casual eatery offers burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and good beer at great value. The laid-back atmosphere includes indoor and outdoor seating and heaters for chilly weather.Kid-friendliness: Casual spot with picnic tables and fenced in so kids can play around a bit.“
“Rutget exceeded all expectations! From the delightful drinks to the delectable food and vibrant atmosphere, every aspect was simply outstanding. Without a doubt, I'll eagerly return whenever I find myself in Fashion Valley. Highly recommended!"“
“I went on Monday and it was such a fun experience! The lovely bartender made the most refreshing margaritas, and the last word was perfectly balanced. She was very helpful and patient with it being our first time and birthdays. We had such a great time we stayed into the next shift, and the crew was equally as amazing and helpful. Thanks y'all !“
“The Cordova helped me host a work event and the process was very stress free. It is a smaller local establishment which makes working with them so much easier as they are more flexible and appreciate your business. Lauren was very responsive to all of our requests. The space was perfect for our group of about 20 people and everyone was so friendly and welcoming.They have a nice cocktail menu, priced pretty much on par with what you will see at most San Diego bars. Like others have said the parking can be a little tricky, but you probably want to Uber anyways because you’ll want to stay for more than 1 drink!I have been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed.“
“Staff was friendly... I don't remember closing out but I had my card the next day... In fact much of my time there I don't remember which, for a bar night, means it must have been a good one! So I'll give them 5 stars... My friends said they all had a good time and I briefly remember petting a dog which always makes for an even more enjoyable experience...“
“Service and food are excellent. I can't get enough of their breakfast/lunch menu - specifically their huevos cazuela and the spicy tuna quesadilla. Both have tuna perfectly seasoned by axiote/achiote. You are missing out if you don't try it.“
“Love this place. Their BBQ chicken pizza is my favorite. It's always the perfect crisp. I love all the toppings in this pizza. Very consistent. And their sweet chili & lemon pepper wings are really good. Packed with flavor. Tried the wagyu sliders but they were NOT a hit. Wasn't flavorful, kinda blain, basic and were so sad the tater tots had no flavor at all. But hella crispy. Atmosphere is cool, tvs and little bar top. The staff is ok. Overall, I'll keep going back.“
“I recommend!! Definitely a hidden gem! ?The food and service were great! Our server Sam was very attentive and kind.We got the Gnocchi Urbino which is gnocchi with white sauce, sausage, mushroom in a thick bread bowl. It was delicious and flavorful !! Rosemary was a nice touch. Perfect for sharing ?We also got the wings for happy hour and they were soooo yummy!Love the concept and unique combinations :)“
“still here at the moment. this place is a cozy, hole in the wall establishment. the smash burger they have here is intoxicating all on it's own, it literally melts in your mouth. I added some fries on the side and my drink of choice was the natural red wine. I paired these fantastic options with the outdoor seating that is located in the back. I chose this place because it's within walking distance of where I live. I'm glad it's nearby, because I'll be coming back again. It's my first time here by the way. 5 out of 5 ! Also, let me add that the music playlist they have in rotation is curated perfectly well. Good vibes to say the least.“
“Here in town for mine and my boyfriends anniversary and we randomly looked up bars near our hotel. This one popped up and we decided to go! Sooooo glad we went! The food was absolutely amazing!!!! Those ginger soy marinated wings were soooooo flavored omg. I wanted more and more haha! The service was amazing, if you don't sit at the bar top, you can order from a side window and I swear my drinks came out in less than 2 minutes and the whole place was packed! The guy working the window was extremely friendly and we felt welcome the second we walked in! Will DEFINITELY be back!“
“Good breakfast food but sub par service. The hostess got my cell phone number wrong and after 40 mins of waiting I went back in to check on the status only to be told our table had been given away. Once sat, the waitress was very attentive at the beginning but then was nowhere to be found for 30 full minutes at the end. The food itself is good and is comparable to The Broken Yolk, and came out within 10 minutes of ordering. The atmosphere is quaint and eclectic with most of the seating outdoors. If this was within walking distance of my place, I would probably come here on weekends, but wouldn’t make the drive to eat here again.“
“Was there with a large group (30ish people), and had a single waitress. A sure recipe for disaster. And completely wrong. Our waitress rocked it! She was attentive, got our orders right, and had a good attitude while doing it. Really helped to make the evening fun for us.“
“Dropped in for a late-night beverage and wow did this bring back memories of a youth spent in rural Idaho with many of the same items around our simple town and home. For anyone fond of the classics and the ‘good ol’ days’, you should definitely pop in for a drink to check it out.“
“Wow! Mitchell for the win! What a wonderful mixologist he was in this sexy little “sin confessing” speakeasy! I love a cocktail bar that allows the bartender to showcase their skills and things exactly what he did for us! Definitely recommend this for date night or cocktail night ?“
“The best drip coffee in the area. Finally, I found somewhere to get a full-bodied drip coffee! Most drip Java in San Diego is fruity with sour notes.This little coffee shop stands out. They seem too small to have a kitchen, but this wedged shaped building has a lot. Coffee, pastries, food, roasted beans, loose-leaf teas, and merch everything you might need.I will be back!“
“Stopped by Bottle Rocket after reading all the excellent reviews. It was a Wednesday night which is Wings night (6 wings for $6) so decided to give those a shot. We were welcomed immediately upon entering by the staff and found the service throughout the visit to be prompt and friendly. You have to go to the bar to place your food orders and are given a number to place on your table for delivery. We ordered two of the 6 piece wings as well as a cheeseburger and an order of fries. The wings came out piping hot but a little bit overcooked. The bbq sauce was really good but the mango habanero was more on the sweet side than spicy which was disappointing. The burger looked really appetizing but was a bit average in comparison to similar places we frequent. Fries were crispy and tasty. Bottle Rocket also has an excellent selection of beers available. I would be more apt to visit them in the future for drinks than for their food because the service was super friendly and the vibe of the place was laid back and fun in general.“
“We were looking for a good breakfast spot. I had read about this place on another app and was excited to try it out. As someone with Celiac disease, I cannot ingest any amount of gluten. Finding a place that is both safe AND delicious is extremely hard. This place not only met those criteria, but surpassed all of my hopes. The food was AMAZING! So good, that we came back two days later for another round. Quality is there and so is the quantity - the portions are quite substantial! Love the little touches like the fresh flowers on each table. The chef has mad skills!! Everyone is so welcoming and the place itself is super cute. They also have baked goods that looked delicious, but we haven't tried any yet. I'm also looking forward to trying the lunch items and I saw items ordered by others and wanted to try them too. you HAVE to try this place - you will not be disappointed!!“
“VERY GOOD PHOOOOOOOOOOVery good.Better than any pho that I had in Pittsburgh.The sprouts were super fresh and the portion, oh my, was definitely filling.Ordering was a little bit pushy but I think it might because they were about to get super busy. We went in 1 minute after they opened (noon).Broth was so good that i drank it all.“
“Great for what it is. Was surprised at how good their tacos were. We kept ordering even though we didn't need more. lol - just had to wave our servers down to get refills and food when sitting at a booth. Was the middle of the day on a Saturday and not too busy; not a big deal, just play offense with you needs. ?“
“WoW! I so love everything about this lovely restaurant. It is above and beyond expectations for Pacific Beach. Yes, food and ambiance but customer service is absolutely the finest. I have been going there for many years. It keeps getting better! Joe is now doing much of the management for his father. (the owners : ). I've watched him grow the business with the intelligence and passion of a young Bishops to USC business grad. Example: Tonight he was superb in handling a minor situation about my purse being on a chair next to me. The restaurant, (my neighborhood "Go To") was quite busy, and yet Joe took the time to ask me for input about where he should place hooks for women's purses. Simple problem, simple solution. Just a matter of good communication. Lovely Happy Hour food, wonderful clientele to chat with and exceptional service. Our community needs you!!!“
“This is the favorite sports bar spot in town for my husband and I! Not only do they have fantastic seating options but the food is insane (in the best way)! I could rave about their fries forever - and I probably will. Especially the animal fries. Service has always been efficient and friendly!“
“We had a client event here and everything was perfect starting with the initial coordination and planning with Mason until the very end of the reception. Mason was very open and flexible in meeting our needs and made the perfect food suggestions. The space is fantastic, all of our guests commented on what a great place it is. Very accommodating offering enough room to socialize and enjoy the food and drinks. The food was tasty and presented nicely and the drinks were carefully curated by experienced bartenders. Everyone working at Madam Bonnie’s were professional and truly understood good customer service. I can not express enough how much we appreciated Mason and his team’s help in making our client event a success.“
“Don't be intimidated with the location of the shop. This is my go to whenever visiting the area. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious!! My favorite is the El Diablo but you really can't go wrong with anything you choose. Lines can get long but service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend“
“The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, from the staff to the customers. It's never a dull moment, with TV's in all directions, to catch any sporting event's that may be on that day.. Most importantly it's the spot where I met my wife, 3 years strong now and we always look forward for our next stop @overthetapnc“
