Restaurants in San Diego

“Amazing omakase, friendly and knowledgeable staff”

“Searched online and found this cute restaurant. Excellent service from the minute we walked in. Phoenix, our server was amazing. We were celebrating a friend's Birthday and Phoenix went over and beyond to make it extra special. I had the brown sugar cinnamon latte and the French toast and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend checking it out but go early as it gets pretty busy quick.”

“The best tacos I have had in San Diego . Great service and really good food”

“Normally I like to keep gems like this to myself, but walking through literal back alleys in San Diego to be introduced to this incredible Hi-Fi listening speakeasy was just too awesome and I hope everyone I love gets a chance to get on the reservation list, stat. I'm a speakeasy veteran with a coast to coast cocktail sipping resume that spans from SF to Boston and New Orleans to Chicago, and this spot has definitely landed in my top ten. The atmosphere, the staff, the tunes, and the drinks are all so special and perfectly curated for maximum delight. Every aspect of CMB is comfortable and balanced, and so very easy to enjoy. They found a great groove and kept it going.”

“Great food and great service! Food was fresh and expertly prepared! Probably the best service I have ever experienced and the place was busy at the time we were there!!”

“Freshly caught options. Minimal seating- but something opens up by the time your meal is done. Highly recommend.”

“If you are looking for a true Italian experience in San Diego, look no further than Vinarius! We worked with Giuseppe (owner) to host our wedding celebration here back in March, 2023. From the beginning, he was amazing to work with. Incredibly positive and accommodating from the start, we couldn’t have asked for more. The wedding ceremony was planned to be outside and of course, it rained that day. Guiseppe and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowed us to have the small ceremony inside the restaurant on short notice and made an incredible meal to follow. Our guests were blown away and we couldn’t have been happier. We recommend Vinarius to everyone we know and that is thanks to Giuseppe and his awesome staff. Grazie mille!”

“garlic noodles with Pollo. first timer. absolutely delicious. we came right after their lunch rush and sat in their outdoor patio. Kylie, our server was so sweet & cute. She was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'm Asian, my boyfriend is white/Mexican ( he does not like Asian food) he ordered pork tacos yum! flama llama was perfect for us Asian/Peruvian infusion? who'd have thunk. I definitely recommend this place.”

“Food always on point!!!!”

“Excellent service great food always a pleasure to dine here”

“Great all around dining experience.”

“Fabulous oysters! Definitely worth the wait!”

“Amazing food. Delicious & unique drinks. All very reasonable. Will definitely return & highly recommended!!”

“We visit the “Little Lion” on every trip to San Diego. It’s the absolute best brunch spot on Point Loma!”

“This is a cozy place that offers excellent food. Everything we had was excellent. The Sweet Corn and Pinion Soup, Patatas Bravas, Pork Adovada, and the New Mexico Mini Burger were all delicious. The dessert was out of this world. Chocolate Pots de Creme. Highly recommend making a reservation as this cozy place is very busy, but worth it.”

“Great service & good menu options! I’ll come back 😁😁😁”

“Excellent food and very good service. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. It was expensive for breakfast, but great for a special occasion.”

“Just go! You won’t be disappointed.”

“Best food, drink, service and atmosphere I have experienced in a long time. Rivals Michelin restaurants.”

“​One does not travel four hundred miles from the Bay Area merely to seek indulgence, yet a wise traveler honors substance and virtue wherever it is found. During our recent stay in San Diego, we returned to Tacotarian on three separate occasions—not out of unchecked appetite, but because the standard of excellence here is deliberate and unwavering.
​The nourishment is executed with discipline and care. The taco platter offers balance and variety, while the crunchwrap demonstrates precise craftsmanship and structure. The meal concludes honorably with the churros, accompanied by chocolate fudge on the side—a simple, deliberate reward taken in measured appreciation.
​Above all, character distinguishes this establishment. The manager, CJ, exemplifies hospitality as a duty rather than an obligation. Calm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, CJ operates with steady grace that elevates the entire dining environment. A dependable establishment governed by virtue and craft. Highly recommended!”

“what a wonderful experience. they are so well cared for. beautiful cats that are so friendly and need so much love very clean and the cats have so much to climb on, play with, see and sleep. the hosts were amazing and even let me stay a bit longer. I had the best time. I'm coming bk!!!!!!”

“Absolutely worth the wait, this place is amazing. Not only is the food over the top great but the staff is super friendly and the service is top notch. I highly recommend and I will always be a customer!!!”

“We were 7 for a birthday dinner. This restaurant is a joyful experience. Everyone between the front door and your seat greets you, the service is excellent - both the recommendations (and recommendations on what to avoid) are top quality and delightfully humorous. I always enjoy an evening here.”

“My family and I had such an incredible experience at Alforon! Samia, co-owner and sole waitress/hostess, laughed with us the entire time, sharing her candid recommendations and suggestions. The za'atar flatbread, chicken kebab, and aaysh essaraya (we ended up ordering two!) were particularly delightful. It was our first time, but it was incredibly telling that the rest of the guests were regulars (one couple was there for the third time that week) - the entire experience felt like we were having a meal at a beloved family member's home. I wish we lived in San Diego because I would be back in a heartbeat!”

“This is a great stop to make if you are looking for some awesome fish tacos. It is off the beaten path of downtown SD, but worth the trip. Very small seating area and you may have to wait, but worth it! Nice staff and service.”

“Walked in last night and had the best pasta I’ve had in a while. I’ll be thinking about that pappardelle. Excellent portions and service.”

“Outstanding staff! Great food! A must go!”

“Loved it. Had many shops inside, places to eat,”

“Good service, good atmosphere, great food”

“The food and staff were great. But I had to pay $2 for a small thing of ranch. 🫠 like…. Seriously lol”

“Always an amazing experience at Animae!”

“Hit this place up! We got two boxes of pastries to go and they did not disappoint. Really enjoyed the ham and cheese croissants as well as the tomato danish. Scones and cookies were amazing too. Would like to go back to grab a pizza which they serve starting at 11am. The line moves quick so don’t be alarmed. It’s worth the wait!”

“Fantastic fresh food; great sushi bar. Wonderful service from Kaz. I highly recommend..best sushi and sashimi around!”

“We really enjoyed our meal here! The Pho Nom was my favorite, the broth tasted rich and authentic, and the portion was very generous. The broken rice, chicken wings, and spring rolls were all delicious too. A special thanks to James, who was so attentive and helpful throughout our meal. We’ll definitely come back!”

“This places was very good! Yes it was expensive but I was also feeding 6 people!! But it was really good food! Definitely a place I would visit again and recommend!!!”

“We recently tried The Fishery - it was delicious! Great atmosphere and the service is great! The portions are decent. The food is excellent!!”

“Absolutely amazing atmosphere, 10/10 service, and bomb drinks. What more could you want. Easily one of the best tiki bars period.”

“The best pizza in San Diego🤩👍”

“Excellent food and the service was splendid.”

“Great food and drinks! The service is superb!”

“Such a great dining experience in the heart of Balboa Park.

Emiliano was our waiter and absolutely made the experience. We let him help guide us through the menu, and he did not disappoint.

We started with the pear and beet salad and masa-fried squash blossoms, then worked our way through the Vietnamese pork meatballs and lamb seekh, and finished with the Wagyu burger. Every dish brought something completely different to the table, which made sharing everything even more fun.

The food was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and just adventurous enough without trying too hard. Add the atmosphere of being right in the heart of Balboa Park, and it made for such a memorable meal.

Definitely ask for Emiliano and let him help you choose you won't be disappointed.”

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!”

“Great chefs, great staff, great food, great sake… what’s not to like when everything was great!?!?”

“Good restaurant, delicious food. I recommend everyone to try it”

“Taste of Denmark is an absolute 10/10! From the moment we stepped in, we felt completely welcomed—the owner was incredibly friendly and took the time to walk us through authentic Danish cuisine.

We started with a simple appetizer that was insanely delicious, then shared three open-face sandwiches: the herring, pork, and roast beef. I’ve literally been dreaming about those sandwiches every day since.

We finished with fresh, out-of-the-oven Danishes—absolute chef’s kiss. 100/10, do not skip this place!”

“I haven't been to rudfords in years, do to moving south. I was so hungry for the outstanding split pea soup on Saturday, still the best ever. So glad jordan is still working there, he is so delightful and and friendly, he is definitely a keeper. So glad exmanager jose is gone,. What a scan. K sorry about Diane's passing, I really liked her. Keep up the good work. Spinach omelette for awesome, wow.”

“I like the attention , i like food desserts the place looks very clean”

“Authentic Mexican food, it's like you are eating at your abuelita's house. Service and food are amazing. Definitely coming back. Much more than a regular taco shop”

“I recently had the pleasure of interacting with the customer service team, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed. The representative I spoke with was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to resolve my issue.

Thanks to Karen A”

“I’ve been going to lestats since I was just a child really. I haven’t been since 2018 maybe when we moved. But I can tell you I’ve known horrible humans in my life not by choice. But fate led me to John a sweet gay man who ran a 24/7 coffee house. And I’ve loved coffee since age 5. When times were hard a lonely girl could get a hot cup of coffee and use the wifi even and hang out. John took in many of us. I was one of the pre 98-2006 post crew that practically lived here. Idk why John never charged us rent he truly should’ve! Hell he probably could’ve for our cars even. I was pregnant here. They fed me when I was hungry. They kept us warm in the cold months. Lestats was always a shelter in the storm we call life. I was but a passenger for a while. John let me park my Honda accord out back for some time when an alternator wasn’t the only problem even. When I think of angels and I think of gods I think of folks like John. They gave us life without even knowing it. My daughters 20 this year and we’re both alive because of John’s goodness and kindness he has a huge heart most have no clue. He’s just the sweetest man. He was a woven interact part of my life. He’s one of those people who is why I am here today. Because when I needed a safe place in the storm we call life. I could lean on Lestats and John. Whom I knew well. To think my neighbor would lead me here he worked there eventually and was a lady’s man 😂 Travis was his name and I laugh cuz I knew that boy from just a little boy. To see him become a man and even a dad around when I was a mom. Seemed then something was surely in the water 😂 or so we’d all joked. Maybe it was just knowing we had a safe place to land for awhile that truly helped us all survive. But a huge part of that was John! So thank you John. Idk if you remember me or not. But I was that blonde girl with short hair and a damaged heart. 90s-2006 was my life there then I’d come when I was in town very rare then. But I always loved your veggie chili and your sandwiches. And the coffee ☕️ gosh if I miss anything from San Diego it’s Lestats and their amazing teas and coffee and food. Because when I had no home even I always had a safe place to go when the storm of life was crushing me. I met a boy in 2006 and disappeared really. But John was always like family for me. So I wanna thank him for being the light in the dark for a young street kid. Who didn’t have much but I always had enough for a cup of coffee and some safe space to enjoy it. I know it’s been 20 yrs because my baby is 20 now. But we wouldn’t be here without John. Thank you for being a safe place for us in life’s storms.”

“First time here and wow was it good! Carnitas burrito you camt go wrong. Dont know why more people.dont order Carnitas! The burrito was huge! Lota of meat! Very tasty green salsa was fire! Good price too! I def will.be back!”

“My pup Gremlin just got his first treat box, and he loves it!! There was a slight delay in shipping, but when I mentioned this to customer service, they immediately took action and made sure that my pup had his box the next day!! The box is specially made to entice pups to rip it open themselves, which is awesome! Gremlin got right to work and I had to stop him from ripping open the treats, too! Puppy approved! My picky boy loves all the healthy snax he got!”

“Great food good service. Always busy which means good food totally satisfied ! Thanks Colima’s see you again soon”

“This is the BEST Roberto's Taco Shop in all of San Diego! Excellent, fast, and friendly service.
This is the only Robert's that didn't raise their prices majorly. All the other Roberto's raised their prices significantly in the past 2 years, but this one only raised them by like a dollar. So best prices as well, and open 24 hours as well. Highly recommended.”

“Let it be in the record that I told the owner Hector that the food they serve was delicious prior to learning he was the owner 👍

The people at this establishment have been nothing but good to me and I am pleasantly surprised by how well this establishment is kept when I randomly visited this restaurant. I walked in and the design of the interior and building overall appears to be the combined work of people who put thought into basically every aspect of the layout and maintain them to high standards.

When I say the food is good, I mean the preparation is reliably delicious no matter if you are ordering tacos, burritos, plates, chicken fries, or custom orders.

Folks working in this place have good reason to be proud of their work and performance. Customer service is stellar! Excellent find.

Thank you.”

“From the time I ordered to when I left the drive thru was perhaps two minutes. Very fast service. I don't need to add any salsa to the carne asada burrito because it is already delicious as it comes. I go here whenever I need a fast, delicious, and filling meal.”

“Cifredo and the staff at this location are always welcoming, and this is probably my favorite subway ever. The hours are amazing (as someone who works nights) and I always meet the coolest people here at like 2am. I wish every subway was like this one.

Appreciate y’all! Thanks for all the great food!”

“la comida con Mo siempre muy sabrosa. recomendado al cien.”

“Happy to dine in again. great to see staff and great service as always.”

“They met all the basics for an enjoyable dining experience. 1) the server, Ray, was as nice and friendly as can be. Great customer service. 2) the food was fast and accurate. Asked for eggs over medium and that is what I got. Food was hot and plated well. 3) coffee was hot and fresh. 4) place was clean 5) atmosphere was nice.”

“I gotta say I was a little disappointed in the food. The Cali burrito was good. The carne asada burrito was ok. The fish tacos weren’t great. The rice and beans are not good. Tasted old. The salsas weren’t that great either. Not sure I’ll return”

“Food was so good. Trinity helped my pleasant experience. I asked if the AC was on, it was weak though. Would like to try the spring roll and tamarind wings next time.”

“This is absolutely the best food experience that I have had in the past three months. Atmosphere is absolutely lovely., every server in here is wonderful, however, Ethan was our server tonight. He was thoughtful, checked up on us when needed, and still managed to accommodate everybody around us. It was slammed tonight, and I saw a smile on everybody’s face, they were stuffed to the brim, and satisfied, obviously with their experience. Another thing to note, another server named Phil checked up on us as well when he noticed his server, Ethan busy. Fantastic teamwork, fantastic accommodations, all around kind atmosphere. I will be coming back here for sure! This was wonderful!”

“I was nervous about the flavors, mostly because I didn’t know what they were! But was able to taste test and decided on the Quattroberry and stracciatella. Delicious! Great price- $6.50 for two big scoops! Definitely wanted to go back. Try the dragon fruit/lemon one- super tart and so good!”

“Haidilao is an awesome hot pot place, it’s affordable and totally worth it! I’d recommend the chicken broth. Great experience, would recommend.”

“The beef noodle soup was super delicious and was enough to feed me and my mother. It contained tone of meat which was really tender and the broth was overall phenomenal. The popcorn chicken was also really good as it wasn’t too big and served as a great snack I would highly recommend coming here.”

“Tastylife™️. Would buy treats again.”

“Thhheeeee absolute BEST pizza on the west coast HANDS DOWN!! Im from Brooklyn, NY and they definitely brought the authentic expirence and taste from home!!! I bring all my friends here! This is one of my happy places! Food-10 Service-10 Location-10 Price-10 😀”

“Best breakfast we’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious and great service! Would 100% recommend 👍”

“Place had a long time but it went by fast.
Got the egg coffee and it was not the best I ever had but it was still good!
I loved the passion fruit lemonade!”

“Ok, I am from NY and love pizza. I am not a NYC pizza snob though and welcome all iterations of 'za! I have to say that this pizza is probably the best I have ever had of its type. They are "Roman" slices, meaning focaccia crust. Variety of slice options are insane with creative combinations that are not only imaginative, but insanely delicious. Slices are cooked upon ordering for supreme freshness. I especially like the Lussuria - prosciutto, black pepper, mashed potato, mozzarella and olive oil. (I NEVER thought I would like mashed potato on a slice, but it's insanely good.) The help here is amazing as well. Caesar was working the oven and he gave great suggestions and explained the product well. Very inviting and definitely steered me in the right direction. Need gluten free? They got it! Will make a GF slice for you right on the spot. I challenge anyone to have just one slice. I had to go back for 2 more. Enjoy!”

“Really enjoyed our first visit to Parkhouse. Definitely coming back. Food and drinks were delicious. The service was exceptional”

“Had to check this place out after seeing a youtuber review. Pastries are pretty tasty. The pastry itself have a nice crispy crunch. The filling in it was sweet but not too sweet”

“Wonderful ambiance and even our great VP of the US came to eat there. Compliments 👏 🙌 Sashimi and homemade ice cream 😊”

“It was my first time there food was amazing!”

“A hidden gem! It's a small, cozy place but the food is totally worth it. If there's a wait line, it worth your time.
The service is friendly and attentive.”

“Five stars isn’t enough.

Black Radish was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and thoughtfully executed. The wine selection paired perfectly with the meal, and the service was outstanding from start to finish.

What made the evening even more special was the family behind it all. John, the owner and chef, has created something truly special. His wife is also a chef, and their daughter, Alexandra, was our server. It was a genuine family affair, and you could feel the pride, passion, and hospitality in every part of the experience.

I honestly hesitate to write this review because I’d love to keep this place a hidden gem and still be able to get a reservation, but I can’t let an experience like this go without recognition.

1,000% recommend Black Radish. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable, the wine was exceptional, and the entire evening was simply unforgettable. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be such a special experience.

Thank you John and family”

“Our server Cam was awesome and food was great! Got to try it. Great dumplings!!!”

“Buzzy little neighborhood spot. Great food and service. We did the tasting menu, which made ordering easy, but seemed a bit overpriced. Grouper was delicious, though! Ambiance was nice, nothing to rave about.”

“On July 8, 2025 my family & I finally made it to Ironside. It was so much more than I could have imagined. Back story...My brother had been raving about this great restaurant called Ironside w/fresh oysters, great champagne, and incredible cocktails since Sept of 22. My family and I live in AK, and he was so excited to share it with us. We tried to visit each other often, but somehow by the end of every trip to CA, after cramming in as much as we could, my family would head back to AK and my brother and I would promise each other we would make it to Ironside on my next visit. For us though, sadly there wouldn't be a "next visit" with my brother. In the early morning hours of May 22, 2025, I lost my brother (and friends) in a plane crash in San Diego. When something like this happens, there is so much that goes through your head. Amongst thousands of other things, you constantly think about the memories you wont get to make, and the experiences you will never get to have w/your favorite person/people. You lose them daily, again, and again, and again w/each experience the person doesn't get to be a part of... and a visit to one of his favorite restaurants, would just be another example of something we wouldn't get to do with my brother... Fast forward to July of 2025. We traveled back to CA to attend his and several of our friends memorial services. Before heading back to AK, my husband, kids, my cousin, and I decided that we couldn't leave again without trying Ironside. It took hours to get us there emotionally, but we pulled ourselves together, and even came prepped with my brother's favorite menu and drink items to try. He had fantastic taste, so we knew we would enjoy his suggestions! We arrived, put our names on the list, and after about a 15 minute wait we were led us to our seats. We were quickly greeted by our server who gave us our menus/drink menus and said she would be back right away to take our order.... So far so good. We were holding ourselves together, but still wearing sunglasses indoors, much like someone does when they have been crying for a month and a half. Although we had rehearsed what we were ordering, the moment my cousin and I tried to order his favorite drinks water began pouring from our faces. It wasn't a loud dramatic cry, just grief bubbling up like a gieser that couldn't be stopped This was NOT what we wanted. We didn't want to explain ourselves, and we certainly weren't ready to use the words died, or plane crash.... but we did it. We told her why we were there, and she was nothing short of amazing. She and her coworker (a gentleman) treated my family with unwavering kindness and compassion. They listened to why we were there, gave us additional suggestions, wrote down my brothers favorite items, and checked on us often. They asked questions about us, about my brother, they listened, and we all laughed through our tears. They weren't uncomfortable with our grief or pain, and they didn't make US feel uncomfortable for feeling what we were feeling outloud, and in public. When we were ready to go, I asked them if I could buy one of each of the cups from my brother's two favorite drinks. The gentleman told me they didn't sell them, but after checking with a manager, they brought them back to me, boxed up, and told me they wanted us to have them. They also gave us one of their old plates that says "Ironside". It has a small chip over the letter d... and my brother's name starts with a D. I like to believe it was him, telling us he was with us for our dinner after all. We tried everything my brother loved! Just as he suggested, it was all amazing. The food was delicious, the drinks were complex and perfectly balanced, and the service... the service was nothing short of healing. I know this review isn't just about the food. This place is a triple threat. The food was great, the drinks were amazing, and the people are incredible. The people helped my family through one of the hardest days o”

“I was nervous about the flavors, mostly because I didn’t know what they were! But was able to taste test and decided on the Quattroberry and stracciatella. Delicious! Great price- $6.50 for two big scoops! Definitely wanted to go back. Try the dragon fruit/lemon one- super tart and so good!”

“Lovely staff and delicious food”

“This is, by far, the best steak house in town! You can't beat the wood fired steak. Every order comes with Parker House rolls, dripping with butter and garlic, and all the sides are wonderful, especially the wedge salad. We always get the executive platter with a selection of different steaks and divine sauces to go with them. Expensive, but worth it.”

“The shrimp head moving scared the crap out of me but everything was delicious and awesome”

“Such a cool spot! Drinks were unique and tasty. Amadeus was wonderful, welcoming, and attentive! He was super informative and gave great recommendations as it was our first time. Will definitely come back and bring friends and family.”

“Taiwanese hot pot, you choose the ingredients and the broth, they promptly cook it for you. If you appreciate deep soup flavors, and love meat, you can eat here for $15-20 per person. Simple atmosphere, basic service. 5 stars because it’s delicious.”

“I've been a loyal customer for years now and sincerely enjoy the bowls. You can customize the contents of the bowl to your liking and the sauces are made in-house. It's a healthy food option that rivals the finest out there in taste and quality. I recommend you try it.”

“One of the most unique experiences in San Diego.”

“Monica the "wine nerd" has an infectious love for her work. The food here is worthy of the well-curated wine and cocktails. This place is an absolute gem in the San Diego restaurant scene.”

“The only downside is the hired help, Ryan Bradford telling people they deserve to be killed (lynched, was his exact words) when he's posting on social media.”

“Chef TJ treats you like family! It’s the best Omakase experience my fiancee and I ever had. Whenever I have visitors or just want to treat my fiancee to a date, this place is best for all occasions. Here’s some photos of just a few of the things we have eaten there (there would be more but you honestly don’t want to be on your phone and just be in the moment…also it’s all delicious). Highly recommend this place!”

“Great food, service, atmosphere, and view.”

“Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and welcoming, and you could tell how much care went into every single course. The food was honestly indescribable!!!! Every bite somehow got better and better. The quality, flavors, presentation, everything was just amazing. One of those meals you’re still thinking about after you leave. We will 100% be back!”

“I sat at the bar and was served by Jon. Jon was super attentive and answered every question I had. Roger, the owner, was making my sushi and sashimi. The service by Jon and Roger were absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, fresh, and each piece perfectly flavor balanced. I will absolutely come back here and bring friends. I cannot recommend Hane enough. The whole staff was friendly and greeted most guests that walked in by name giving me the impression that this place has a lot of repeat locals.”

“The skirt steak will make you cry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Legitimately inedible. I hate posting this, because we were excited to be here. Cocktails were decent (solid at best), but food has been inedible or forcibly eaten as we just want to leave and don't want to ask them to remake it. The beef was cold and the potato was the worst latke I've ever eaten. The surprise guava on the creme brulee was tough and similarly inedible. Will stop at in n out for a half decent meal on the way home.”

“Overall a great omakase experience. Nice combo of both tasty traditional sushi (loved the chutoro and aji) as well as some fun courses (tartare puff and chawanmushi were great). Chefs are friendly and service was attentive. Definitely a pricy experience, but given the creativity and quality it is worth it.”

“Dining at Addison is an experience I recommend as something everyone should enjoy at least once! The food is unlike anything I’ve ever enjoyed before paired with service that is second to none! Chef Bradly and his entire team are warm and welcoming in a way that makes you feel like you’re the only person in a restaurant full of people. I cannot wait to go back! Until next time!”

“We are from “the beef capital” of Australia and discovered The Lion’s Share during SDCC 2023. My husband has very high standards when it comes to meat (his family owned a cattle property) and he could not fault a single dish. We tried camel sausage for the first time and were amazed at the flavor. Every dish was delicious, and make sure you try the brussel sprouts. A restaurant that specializes under exotic meats that can make brussel sprouts that delicious is doing something right! It is our must visit restaurant when we visit San Diego”

“Great food and very nice atmosphere”

“We had a great time here tonight. The restaurant staffs and the sushi chef were friendly and the omakase dinner course portion was generous and super delicious. :)”

“! I wouldn’t go anywhere else”

“Bryan Z and crew hooked it up for us. Great guidance on the menu and truly remarkable service with a great sense of humor and ability to engage in my banter. Food was awesome with great presentation and quick service. Easy recommend for any celebration dinner or even if you are just looking for a high end dinner.”

“Dope Spot! Had the Clams Sakamushi, healed my stomach from my mistakes of day drinking. The paired sake with it was fire. Vibes on point, aesthetic was awesome! Looked so cool and a fun spot for some sake! We rolled up 8 people and luckily we were able to get seats but took but the long side of the bar.”

“I have never experienced a restaurant near San Diego that delivers such an incredible combination of delicious flavors, sophistication, and authentic Japanese taste. This is truly a place for anyone who appreciates and loves Japanese cuisine, whether they are Asian or from any other background.
The yakitori is beyond anything I expected — honestly, it feels like it surpasses even what I’ve had in Japan. Every dish was satisfying, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious.
I believe this may be the best Japanese restaurant in the San Diego area. In fact, it might even be one of the best Japanese dining experiences I’ve ever had anywhere, including Japan itself.”

“My vegan lox and bagel was the 💣!!!!”

“gran lugar, excelente comida y atención”

“Excellent representation of Detroit style pizza”

“excelente servicio y súper ricos los platillos”

“Hey I just want to say the Luna grill down in Carmel valley was amazing and I want to give a special thank you to Athena for helping me out with my order she was polite and made sure i got everything I needed I recommend anyone that loves Mediterranean food check out this location 2 thumbs up will be back”

“Delicious malts and delicious food! Homemade French fries and home made ranch dressing”

“This is a must visit when in San Diego! The best food! Everyone is kind that works here and even with waiting once an hour and a half in line I was not disappointed. Highly recommend Oscar's of Emerald in SD🥰”

“as I walked in, I noticed the cleanliness of the restaurant. Then the visual menu helped me with what I wanted to order. The ambiance is perfect! The assistant from the young man was awesome! The food!!! MashaAllah! It is Soo good. I love spicy 🌶️ The chili naan. mmmmm”

“this is absolutely the best place to get mexican food! i tried the california burrito it was AMAZING & huge! the people are extremely nice and welcoming! the menu is absolutely large so definitely many choices to choose from! my boyfriend got their new cowboy burrito and it was HUGE! absolutely recommend this place!!”

“Spent several enjoyable hours at New English Brewery this afternoon. Actually, came here because of wanting to try out “The Craft Taco Truck.” They didn’t disappoint! The guys were friendly, the food was great! Visually appealing and delicious. Highly recommend you seek them out and enjoy an afternoon with them! We’ll definitely be back.”

“From the moment you walk in, Flora greets you with a smile. My server Lizzy, was great and kind. The cooks deserve praise for a fast, tasty food experience. And last, but not least, Tony, the floor manager made it all come together. Thanks, folks.”

“Got a torta al pastor, absolutely delicious. Thanks yall!”

“Best chicken Kabobs, the beef Kabobs were good too, the salad is one of favorites!!”

“I ordered the Oaxaca (washed) and Puebla roasts for espresso. Both are out of this world! Hands down some of the best coffee I’ve ever enjoyed. I can’t wait to order more! (Photo taken before opening the second bag)”

“Love their new location downtown. More space with the same high quality croissants and sourdough loaves. Chocolate croissant and olive pecan sourdough are my favorites.”

“The OFF SHORE TAVERN AND GRILL located on Morena Blvd in Bayshore San Diego is very good place. All of the staff are exceptional. MGRs have welcomed me & all others since day one and continue to provide fantastic service. Doug & Dan just could not try harder to make this establishment succeed any better. Them and all the servers could receive a higher rating as personable and attentive people. They ALL make Everybody welcome . Major Kudos to Doug, Dan, Ramy and ALL of the crew”

“Always GREAT service, food and clean dining area. Lots of options, food is created right in front of you, so piping hot when served. Very friendly environment”

“I have been eating here for years and it's always good.”

“There was a time when this was my “go to”place for Italian food. Unfortunately after the first owners sold (back in the 80’s or 90’s I think) they went to a “conveyor oven” for cooking pizza. The people who bought Etna’s owned several other Italian restaurants around town and seemed to be successful. Unfortunately they took out a couple of “deck ovens” to streamline the kitchen, like their other restaurants, and quit cooking pizza in those ovens. What they didn’t understand was the pizza bread used to make Etna’s unique pizza was formulated to be cooked in a deck oven. It’s like the difference between a grilled cheese sandwich and a toasted cheese sandwich… it’s just not the same. The caramelization of the sugars in the dough enhanced the overall texture and taste of the pizza when cooked in a deck oven. I’ve lived in San Diego my whole life and have been going to Etna’s since 1976. Etna’s Pizza dough seemed to be the same when the new owners took over and when they changed the way they cooked it ruined the original flavor. I quit going as often as I used to and eventually after several owners later and never going back to using deck ovens the writing was on the wall. The last owners and employees were rude and unattentive. I was hoping they would return to using deck ovens for their pizza but they did not. I tried to explain the reasoning but was rebuffed. So now another San Diego institution has passed into history. The late night (open til 3:00am) seven days a week only Italian restaurant way back when is gone. It’s a shame this new generation will never know the flavors and history of some of these old and iconic family owned and operated businesses.”

“My favorite cafe in San Diego. I had an Iced Mexican chocolate mocha is out of this world. My boyfriend had an Iced horchata matcha dirty latte, he absolutely love it. The atmosphere is truly familia and festive. Don't miss this hidden gem.”

“Nico's is the best taco shop in San Diego! When you're craving a delicious taco and horchata, there's nothing better than Nico's.”

“This has been a "go-to" place for years ever since it was just a coffee shop. Atmosphere is a little more up-scale for breakfast which makes it nice for guests. Evening has an open patio, limited hours. PARKING IS VALIDATED1”

“Best nitro cold brew I've found in San Diego. DropKick has genuinely spoiled me for other canned cold brews. The nitro pour is the whole show — they infuse nitrogen into every can before sealing it, which gives the coffee a thick, creamy texture without any milk or sugar added. Shake it hard, crack it slow, and you get that cascading nitro pour right out of the can, no keg required. I've worked through most of the lineup — Original, Vanilla with Maple, Cinnamon Turmeric, Bold Brew, and Horchata — and Bold Brew is my go-to when I need an actual jolt (340 mg of caffeine per can vs. 220 mg in the rest of the lineup). Horchata is the one I hand to friends who claim they "don't really like coffee" — it converts them every time. What sold me beyond the taste: it's actually roasted, brewed, canned, and kegged locally here in San Diego. If you're grabbing a can, keep it cold and give it a solid shake before opening — that's what activates the nitro. Highly recommend for anyone who wants coffeehouse-quality cold brew without leaving the fridge.”

“I was there at a conference with a friend of mine. Their outrigger sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’ll take my wife and some other friends there for sure.”

“I had the spicy beef soup It was excellent, top quality. You have to taste it to believe it. I also had the fried chicken wings . This is a hidden gem of San Diego.”

“Players Sports Bar and Grill on Kearny Villa Rd is the BEST sports bar I've been to in a long time! Great vibe, delicious food at great prices, friendly staff and clean diamond pool tables. Wings and Pizza were outstanding, and Breakfast on the weekends is to die for!! This is easily the BEST spot I've been t in a long time. Highly recommend-I'll definitely be back Saturday for College Football and Breakfast!!”

“Finally decided to write a review for one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego! I’ve been coming here at least twice a month ever since I moved to SD, and honestly, it’s one of those places I can always count on for a great experience.
The food is amazing every single time, and the taste is always consistent. The drinks are REALLY GOOD too! The service is another reason I keep coming back, professional, friendly, and attentive. The servers and managers frequently check in to make sure everything is going well and that everything is to your liking.
The restaurant is located inside a cute boutique hotel in Point Loma, which gives it such a cozy and charming atmosphere. It’s perfect for date night, dinner with friends, or just a nice night out. And the fact that parking is easy to find is definitely a bonus in San Diego! Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area.”

“Hands-down, the best meal I have had in a long time! The food is so authentic and delicious. The service is impeccable. The cocktails are delightful. I cannot wait to come back!!”

“I tried their new Biscoff latte with almond milk in a size medium. The total came out to almost $10.

Pros: The latte was overall delicious. I love that they have WiFi for guests. They give you a number for your seating and come over with your purchase. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is pretty.

Cons: No restroom for customers and drinks are expensive (worth it for special occasions or if you don’t get coffee at shops that often).”

“Facundo was one of the best servers I have had in San Diego by far, his attentiveness, passion for guest service, and fun demeanor made the experience at Sunny’s memorable. I will definitely be back soon!”

“Great ice cream, ube was creamy and had great ube flavor with generous portions. Only gripe is that parking can be tight and there are a limited number of seats in the store.”

“I had the pleasure of dining with my son and daughter in law the day after Christmas. The food was superb and the service was fantastic. Shout out to Mario. We really enjoyed the Tuna sampler, the artichoke confit and the roasted leeks. My daughter in law loved the pork chop too. The goat cheese cheesecake with pomegranate was a perfect end to a perfect experience. Thank you!!”

“The pastry was so flaky with a perfect crunch with each bite and buttery soft inside. Even with the cream and fruit, there was no sogginess to the pastry. The flavors are so well balanced. Looking forward to trying more items on their menu next time.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed everything from the atmosphere, quality of food and service. I’ve been a couple times now and every single dish has been exceptional. Great date night or group dinner location!”

“Went here for my birthday with my family and there was excellent service and the food was outstanding! Will absolutely be coming back here in the future to try more of the menu! They took the fact that my daughter has celiac very seriously and made sure there was no cross contamination for her meal. 10/10 recommend. My daughter said the kids burger was amazing and for a 6 year old that’s awesome!”

“Absolutely loved this place! Everything was incredibly clean, fresh, and delicious. You can tell the chefs really know what they’re doing—they enhance the natural flavors of the fish without bombarding everything with heavy sauces, which we really appreciated.

The fish was super fresh, and the menu had a huge variety with so many different options to choose from. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. This is definitely our new go-to Japanese spot, and we’ll absolutely be back!”

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”

“Incredibly delicious. I highly recommend!”

“The Cococurry restaurant is a hidden gem, offering authentic Thai flavors, attention to detail, a harmonious personality, and a welcoming atmosphere with excellent hospitality and a joyful environment! The food's taste was a plus—worthy of a five-star rating!”
