The food is delicious. The service is very good. The only thing I found they can improve on is the seating. The chairs are hard and uncomfortable. But the food and and service more than make up for the seating.

Great spot to grab dinner before a musical at the civic theater. Recommend parking in the underground lot across the street. The food here is fresh and nice size portions. Recommend a reservation on weekends. They have a great kids meal that comes with a Nutella crepe! They have a gluten free/vegetarian/dairy free/vegan menu if you ask. The vegan menu is very limited.

Excellent menu, and superb customer service. Highly recommend. And will return again and again. Warm goat cheese salad makes me so happy.
Amazing little restaurant tucked away in the Horton Plaza. There isn’t anything negative to say! Everything from the atmosphere, food menu and most importantly, the service was amazing!! Highly recommended as a must visit if you are vacationing or simply passing through the area to a must if you live or frequent the area. Menu had simple selections and everything from the appetizers to entrees were perfectly timed. My only wish is to be able to bring it to the East coast! We will be back ❤️.
We loved this place! Had a 7pm reservation and the owner was magnificent. Our table had our name on it which was cute. Started off with the Brussels sprouts and red pesto toast and we cleaned the plates. We enjoyed a flight of beer which was fun. Then we shared the lamb chops which were delicious and a basket of truffle fries. We were celebrating our birthdays and they made flan for us. Overall a great experience

Excellent food and vibe!The tapas are definitely “Americanized” so just be prepared for that. The flavors are excellent - we had the brussel sprouts, calamari, and smoked salmon plate. All delicious. I opted for the lamb as my main - it was DELICIOUS. Perfectly cooked, and a slight bit of salt and pepper to season - enough to compliment without overwhelming. The pallella was also authentic and incredible.Well worth the visit!
Tapas & Beer is the real deal! The vibe is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for date nite or dinner with friends. Now, let's talk about the food – the sausage sampler was delicious. We paired it with a side of organic vegetables and their homemade baquette that they bake right before it comes to your table!!!! So good and they've got an extensive beer selection too! But what really makes this place shine are the owners of the restaurant, Nael and Julie. They are very friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your experience.
Awesome place and I wished to God they were in North Park instead of Downtown San Diego. I would be there ever week! Great couple who own the joint, they know how to please and be welcoming too. If you were in North Park, you would be busy all the time and be able to hire some more staff as you two get your work out every day of the week. The Mac N Cheese is so good you just have to try it. We had the Lamb chops the last time and we loved it. Great Salads too. Just Yummy!

Luckily, we had a reservation because without one, we wouldn't have gotten in. It was a Friday night and very crowded. There were only 2 servers and they were hustling to take care of all the tables. We appreciated the good job they did. We had the mussels with fries along with the garlic mushroom skillet. All the food was delicious! We plan to go back again and try some of the other appetizing-looking dishes.

My wife and I go there as often as possible before our Broadway SD shows. The food is great, the service is fast and fantastic!!! We adore going here and the family that owns it is usually there working, they're amazing also!

This place was fabulous!! The food was delicious, and our serveuse was excellente & super friendly! We Sat outside on a kind of chilly night but the patio heaters they had made it really comfortable. Highly recommend the mushroom & brie toasts, mussels, truffle fries, and flan / creme brulee. Definitely try this place if you haven't yet! Even more impressive that they opened right before COVID!!

I went there for a business meeting, and was very pleased with the service and the food. I can’t wait to take my wife back there for a date.

This is an absolute gem of a place. The owned Julie had our table reserved with my name on it upon arrival. Every detail was accounted for from the menu recommendations to the Beer suggestions. Food was outstanding- garlic shrimp, peach burrata salad and the paella. Portions are substantial . Loved all of it. We will be back. ❤️
