Huntress, Huntress, HUNTRESS! That's all I can say. I was in San Diego for a work trip, and this bar came highly recommended. And I'm here to keep up that tradition. The drinks are amazing, the atmosphere is phenomenal, and the bartender was so freaking kind. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Put it on your list. Lemondrop, French 75, Old Fashioned, Coffee Martini...whatever your drink of choice, they'll make you the best you've had.

Overall, the drinks here were pretty good, food was not bad… highlights were the market salad which had a very nice dressing and the porterhouse. Several of the dishes that we had were over- salted: smoked maitake mushrooms, crab spaghetti, even the steak fries. Pictured here is the dessert which is one of their trademarks - the “magic mushroom”. Cool presentation but really nothing special - mostly white chocolate, some sponge cake crumble that was basically sugar, and some raspberry jam in the middle, served with vanilla ice cream. I would probably come back for the cocktails and steak.

Fun place, upscale, great food and drink. I had the sea bass and it was perfect. Desert is a must!
Tried this place for a first and last time this past weekend. We arrived a few minutes early, table wasn’t ready, so they offered us a place at the bar until it was - we gladly accepted. Then 5-6 minutes go by and still no action. About 10-12 minutes later, our table is ready - so much for grabbing a drink beforehand. Table service was very good, and cocktails as well. The food, however, was by no means anything special and certainly does not justify the pricing. But the breaking point as to why we would never go back was only discovered at the end, when the check comes and see that there is an added (and otherwise undisclosed) 5% surcharge on the bill.If you run a business so poorly that it cannot sustain itself based on menu prices, then raise the prices; stop trying to be shady and sneak in these ridiculous surcharges. Additionally, while they can’t force it on you, the only way to have it removed is by requesting a manager and then making an ordeal about it in the middle of a restaurant.So, in the end, this isn’t a horrible place to dine, but I would never recommend it nor go back - waste of money.
Tried this establishment with some clients based on reviews online. Atmosphere is fun and eclectic but inviting. Our server was super helpful, prompt and courteous. We ordered the Hamachi Crudo and Salmon Tartare along with the quail and bacon appetizers. All were very good but the Hamachi was fresh and spot on and the quail was tasty. The salmon was good but outshined by the others.My bone-in ribeye was very good but honestly have had better elsewhere. Was cooked to my temp but it was lacking the ‘wow’ factor. My clients both had filets and they said they were enjoyable and would get again.We capped the night off by all splitting the Magic Mushroom and it was well worth it. Between the presentation and the detail put forth into it, it was a perfect way to finish off our experience. We had a few obligatory casual laughs about it but was very well done.Would recommend and would go back for another try.

What a magical experience. Huntress Steak and Whiskey Society sets the bar! The whole evening was an experience to remember. The staff, aka Team including the Sommelier, worked in sync to ensure a perfect evening. The Ribeye,paired with the Huntress sauce, was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Treat yourself when in San Diego, you won’t be disappointed

Positively perfect experience. We started at the bar, where the service was great and the cocktails sublime. Our dinner server was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was over the top with flavor and presentation. The short ribs are a must order. The squash is out of this world. The Parkerhouse rolls, the cauliflower, the quail terrine...order it all and don't pass on dessert.
Food was solid but overall experience was average at best. The posts on social media made it look a lot nicer but the experience was lacking. We ordered the bread appetizer that did not come until we asked a few times. It was brought incorrectly and they had to remake it. It came out again wrong and they apologized and went back. It became a bit humorous and eventually came at the end of the meal. The waiter probably should have not even charged for it or at least apologized but nothing. There were three service people assigned to us but it seems there are disconnects. Overall, food is good and service is average at best.

While the ambiance was nice and the service was great, the food was only so-so. We ordered the prawns as an appetizer, a Cesar salad, and the filet mignon (Oscar style) with mashed potatoes for our entree. The effort for both dishes was good but both the prawns and filet mignon were not seasoned at all. I don't expect to go to a steakhouse and ask for salt but in the case, we didn't have a choice. The potatoes were great and ironically, seasoned really well. I just wish that had translated into the rest of the food. We might go back one day but it probably won't be anytime soon. The Magic Mushroom dessert was good. The presentation was cute and whimsical.
The tomahawk was delicious, the server was great, but the real star of the show was the lobster curry bisque!
