I've had the burger here and it was amazing. No exaggeration. One of the best hidden burger gems in San Diego. But came here for dinner on a whim after some business meetings in the hotel. Started with watermelon margarita. Perfect blend of sweet and a touch of heat. Normally watermelon isn't my thing. This was fantastic. Also got a strawberry martini made with gin. I ordered the carne asada dip. Very good flavor profile. My partner had the rock fish tacos which seem to be a staff favorite. Also very good! But, I always judge a restaurant by the service. Rob (up front) and Javier (our server) were top notch in their attentiveness. Quick with recommendations and accommodating our needs. They were great, but Otto stole the show. Otto...not sure his position...but he was everywhere and exuded kindness at every table. Such a great guy! We topped off the evening with some churros with house whipped cream and chocolate dipping sauce. Yum!If I wasn't stuffed and unable to move, I would have kept eating. I should mention that there were a few proms going on in the area. The team was very busy. The restaurant was deservedly packed. But that didn't stop top notch service and food. Kudos, Bronze Bird and Westin. 5 stars!

We came here as a suggestion from my sister. They have a wonderful deal for theatre goers. You can eat here and get 5 hours of valet parking for $10. Show your tickets.The restaurant is located in the hotel and only a few blocks away from the Civic Center. My party had two adults and two kids. Service was good and the food was decent. I have had better steaks before, but the fries were tasty. The Asian tacos were really popular with our kid (mind you that this is tofu and he has never had it before). My friend liked her salad and pizza and my son enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs. The Brussels Sprouts were good, but I felt like they put too much balsamic vinegar on it. Everyone still enjoyed it though.The ambiance was modern and casual. There were a few diners and it was fairly quiet, but very kid friendly.

Had lunch here with colleagues. Small menu with some interesting options.I went light with a delicious watermelon salad and shared some legit fries with my friend. One of our group had the lobster roll and others had different salads.The food was fresh and good. The one con is the noise level. Made it difficult to speak with colleagues at the opposite end of the table.

Quite a decent restaurant in a hotel. Had dinner here as part of a dinner and show at the San Diego Civic. Very pleased with our meal -- steak frites.

One of my favorite times of the year is San Diego Restaurant Week! I love trying out new restaurants, and The Bronze Bird is a must return when you're in the Downtown area. I love the ambiance of tje restaurant, it wasn't busy and I was seated right away. I easily made reservations online and was able to adjust my reservations due to trying to find parking.Drink: Strawberry Martini - So refreshing! Loved it. Pre-Fixe Restaurant Menu Picks:Artichoke and Grana Padno Bisque. Creamy and delicious. Pan Seared Halibut. Flaky with a nice sear, loved the beans with pancetta. Very filling.Orange Blossom Panna Cotta. Our waiter, Javier, topped it off with Grand Marnier! So good, very light. No, he didn't light the Grand Marnier on fire, lol. Customer service was superb! I can't explain how welcoming the staff was, I truly felt like I was a guest at the hotel. Definitely must return!

This has become one of our favorite places to dine in right before we see a show. We have always been able to walk right in without a reservation and get seated right away. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. The restaurant itself is spacious. The food/wine menu has a variety of options and comes out quickly. We have all been content with our food choices and hits the spot. It's a short walking distance to the Civic Theater and so convenient.

Located inside the Westin, this is an exceptionally good place for breakfast in the Gaslamp. Eggs and bacon were cooked exactly as I had requested. The staff is friendly, helpful, and courteous. The host sat me immediately. Jessica was an outstanding server!

I have worked in downtown and just recently found out about this place a month ago and I have been here around six times for lunch. It's a nice walking distance from work and fortunately doesn't get busy even when there's a lot of people for conferences etc. They have daily specials for $15 and the ones I have tried is their burger special and pizza specials and it comes with a drink. Monday and Fridays are burgers, Tuesdays are tacos, Wednesdays are soup and salad and Thursdays are pizzas. Let's talk about the burgers first. The burger is amazing. I don't normally go for burgers as much but I've had this burger 4 out of 6 times I've been there. They make it the way I like it which is medium, the flavor is spot on and the char on it just takes it to another level. It comes with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles on the side and fries. The fries are super crispy and is flavored really well too. For the pizza, let me just tell you, its HUGE. I actually think its closer to a medium size pizza. Definitely bigger than a regular size paper plate. I tried the sopressata and the honey pepperoni. BOTH AMAZING!!! Had a good amount of cheese and toppings on it. Sopressata is an italian dry salame and they cut it on the thicker side and it is delicious. The honey pepperoni had the perfect amount of heat and sweetness so it is not overwhelming. I highly recommend all of it. I will try the other items someday but I am pretty attached to the burger and pizza for now. Service is great here. The servers take care of everyone and is always paying attention to what you need. We normally get Ramon and he recognizes us when we go there now. He is a stellar server. All in all, this place is amazing. I love the decor and the way it is set up. Even when its crowded, it doesn't get noisy and loud there so you don't have to yell across the table. Hope to try their dinner and maybe restaurant week here one day but I highly recommend the lunch fare.. 100%! (Will add more pics later)

I came here for lunch on the weekend with a big group of people! We did make a reservation ahead of time, but it was not busy while we were there. Food: Lot of options on the menu, so it was easy to find something to fit everyone's palate. - Pan Fried Bass: Perfect lunch entree size! The fish was fresh, and the accompanying sides perfectly complimented it. Service/Ambiance: Located inside the hotel on the right hand side. Excellent fast service! They were accommodating with all of the requests that were made. Overall: I would definitely go back when I'm in San Diego again!

Set inside the Westin Hotel, this was a lovely lunch place to celebrate the end of jury duty after multiple weeks. It is close to the courthouse but not too close The restaurant was clean with very modern decor. My server was kind, patient, and attentive. It was a later lunch and there weren't many people there. Because it was a later lunch I got the ribeye steak which comes with an arugula salad on the steak and fries. I was hungry and I ate all of it! The arugula salad was quite tasty, my ribeye steak was cooked to a perfect medium and came with a rich sauce on the side, and the fries had a fantastic texture. The ribeye wasn't the most delicious ribeye I've had but it was adequate and the sauce made it pretty good.
