You & Yours Distilling Co

★★★★★ 4.8 (268) • $$

"Five stars all around for You & Yours. I have been twice -- once a few days after Christmas last year (and the decorations and holiday drinks were so cute), as well as during the spring for a "Boozy Brunch Bingo" event, which was so much fun! I actually won a free tasting and tour for 4, so I definitely will be back before the end of the year.The place itself is so aesthetically pleasing, the drinks are delicious (they have a specialty in gin), the food is always a hit, and the workers are all so lovely. This is the perfect place to grab some drinks and a quick bite to just enjoy company. It is not the biggest establishment, I must say. There are quite a few events that they hold, so I would suggest to follow them on Instagram."

Jaguar Paw

★★★★★ 4.6 (12)

"Jaguar Paw is another new listening bar that has popped up in the SD area. It's located in the heart of Barrio Logan across the street from where a renown taqueria recently closed. The inside of the suite had ten two-top tables and six stools at the bar for seating. A disco ball hung from the ceiling while the interior decor had beige and salmon as primary colors. Two sets of customers were at the bar when I arrived so I took a spot at one of the tables. Soft instrumental music was being played from the speakers.The menu at the time was comprised of eight cocktails, four beers, and four wines for drinks. Three types of food were available... Fish Dip, Sardine Crudo, and Oysters. I picked the Fish Dip and the Oysters to go with a Gimlet mocktail. Lemongrass, basil, and soda water were the main ingredients in the sparkly non-alcoholic drink. The Fish Dip came first and featured smoked skipper mixed with creme fraiche, tomato, habanero, house pickles, and lemonette. A set of crackers was provided on the side of the serving tin to scoop up the dip which had a nice blend of savory and tartness.The medium sized raw oysters were served as a trio topped with salsa kyoto, sunumono, and togarashi. The taste was fine, I just wish there were more pieces for $12. I don't know how often items on the menu are rotated, but a few more food choices would be ideal. The bartender came over to serve my table in between his customers at the bar. He was very efficient and polite. The ambiance was very low-key which made Jaguar Paw a nice spot to unwind and relax."

Topside Terrace Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (104) • $$

"Thank you Maddy for making our anniversary amazing and memorable. Topside is a perfect place to celebrate a moment like this. Great service. Service is what makes us a happy customer and a repeat customer Amazing place amazing ambiance and wow an amazing menuThank you"

Clem's Tap House

★★★★★ 4.7 (194) • $$

"They have a ton of beers, great selection and a full food menu that pairs amazingly well with said beer. That's all good and well but the bang for my proverbial buck comes by way of their SECOND menu to the right of the main bar, where they have a separate menu of about 20 beers, all of which are Belgians.Just leave me here, this is my home now.Good good, great service, friendly and clean atmosphere and, of course, one of the best Belgian beer menus your eyes will ever be blessed with."

Le Coq

★★★★☆ 3.8 (58)

"The Rooster is supposedly the last full-service restaurant that local celebrity Chef Malarkey and his business partner will be opening. It's ironic that one of his earlier eateries in downtown La Jolla is the same venue that has been converted to Le Coq. As noted by others, there was minimal signage on the outside of the building. You could see the faded words 'Herringbone' on the north side of the structure, but nothing else indicated this was now the home of Le Coq. A half dozen odd-looking concrete seats in the shape of an open hand adorned the front sidewalk. Where were the rooster statues?My initial impression of the interior was that it felt understated and mundane compared to its predecessor. I found the lack of flair to the interior and exterior decor to be disappointing. For a last hurrah, I expected more pizzazz to note the presence of this new high-end French steakhouse. We were seated at a two-top table in the middle of the dining room after checking in with the hostess. The ambiance felt dark and cavernous instead of what I hoped would be a cozy, intimate setting.On to the food... the two page menu was designed by Executive Chef Monsod. A six-dollar baguette with a choice of five different butters was at the top of the left page. Cold and hot hors d'oeuvres made up the rest of this part of the menu. Entrées, steaks, and sides were listed on the right page. My francophile dining partner and I decided to split a baguette with Pamplie butter which was a rich, artisanal version flown in from France. The bread was warm and pillowy soft. You could tell it was freshly baked. It turned out to be my favorite part of the meal.We also split one of the hot appetizers in the Onion Tart. A round savory pastry contained short rib, caramelized onion, and gruyère cheese as the filling. The crust was a bit dry and overcooked. My friend's entrée choice was the Roast Chicken which featured half of a cooked bird resting on a glacé with a lemon to squeeze on top. The preparation looked fairly plain for a price of nearly $50. The meat was tender though.I selected the Duck Breast for my main course which was served as two pieces of meat with tamarind purée drizzed on top, Some kumquat slices were added along with a piece of chicory. This last component was roasted endive leaves that were soaked with the puree to mask any bitterness. I would have preferred a different vegetable to pair with the duck, perhaps a squash or other root vegetable. For $65, a third slice of meat should not be out of the question.The service from the waitstaff was solid. One staffer went around the tables to ensure our water glasses were filled. Some of the prices were inflated though compared to similar caliber French restaurants in town. The premium may have been for the reputation of the chefs. Overall, I couldn't quite elevate my rating of Le Coq to a four star level as there were areas of our dining experience that fell short."

Provisional Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (686) • $$

"Everything LOX was really good. It's like a deconstructed version but the flavor was amazing. I also tried the breakfast potatoes and those were yummy. Lastly, tried the Margherita pizza and it was very good. Service was OK. Didn't have a reservation both times I dined here, but got seated quickly the first time and had about a 25 minute wait the second time. Located inside the Pendry."

Swagyu Burger - La Mesa

★★★★☆ 4.1 (50)

"These guys make a great burger! I had the double cheeseburger for $12.50, which came with two juicy American Wagyu smashed patties, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese pickles, a secret sauce, on a toasted soft butter glistened potato bun. I asked Sarah to see if they could possibly temp the beef at about medium, and even though it was a smash burger, they were very close and medium well. Either way, the American Wagyu patties were delicious and left that quality beef flavor that lingers on the palate. I liked that the patties had a good crispy exterior but remain juicy and tender on the inside, not to mention very flavorful.The burger's ingredients were all fresh and quite good. I went light on the sauce to better experience the flavors of the beef, and it worked. The house sauce was very good, too. I really liked the toasted potato bun. It worked really well on this burger. As I was eating the burger, I realized that beef patty was smaller than what I am used to, but the quality was outstanding, and I was okay with that.Oh yes! I also had an order of onion rings, and they were just grand. They were crispy, well seasoned, and actually had whole succulent onion rings inside. They were great for dipping in the house secret sauce.The service was provided by "sarah," who was very friendly and helpful. Great service! I can't wait to try some of their other offerings."

Turf Supper Club

★★★★☆ 4.1 (930) • $$

"Had a great time here. Joined some friends from work for a night of Steaks and Spirits. Old school vibe, dark, red light hues inside. The bar has any cocktail you may like available. The bartenders were cool dudes, had good conversations while we waited for our booth. The grill is near the middle of the dining area, everyone finds a spot and add their items to cook. I ordered the Filet with a salad and potato. The steaks come with garlic bread, I slapped that on the grill too. There are several seasonings and sauces for flavor. My steak was really good, with garlic salt, pepper, all seasoning and a slab of butter. The waitstaff was cool and helpful. Good times"

Mothership

★★★★☆ 4.3 (638) • $$

"This is a one and done type of place. I'm glad I went there and had the experience, but because of the cost, likely won't be back. I thoroughly enjoyed my drink. I had the miss modulater, which is kind of like an expresso martini with rum. Most drinks here are rum based and I would suggest checking out the menu before you arrive because there are a lot of drinks to choose from, and you only have 90 minutes for your reservation and it goes by fast.The music was lounge tiki and the bathrooms were a kick.I would go again if I had a friend who really wanted to go. But not likely to go in a whim."

Santo Placer

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (39)

"While in Imperial Beach for another event recently, I made a stop at Santo Placer for a meal before heading back north. I don't know what the previous establishment was, but the standalone building had a large on-site parking lot which is always beneficial. The inside decor was beautiful, highlighted by a faux tree with white flowers in the middle of the dining room. The ambiance was pretty fancy for Mexican cuisine.Brunch was being served during my weekend visit so only half of the menu was available. A Culichi Omelet was what I chose for an entree. The filling was shrimp and mozzarella cheese topped with culichi sauce made up of roasted poblano peppers, jalapeno, and garlic. A green salad and a scoop of Mexican rice came as sides to the dish. The shrimp were concentrated on one side of the omelet with four pieces total. The creamy sauce was the star of the show. Tortillas were also provided but for unknown reasons, the corn variety was complimentary while there was a surcharge if I wanted flour-based wraps.The biggest issue I encountered was the preparation time. The kitchen took at least 20 minutes before the item was brought to my table even though the place was less than half full. The prices were on the high side, however that reflected the more upscale nature of the restaurant. My waitress was very polite and helpful in answering the questions I had about the menu offerings. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my dining experience at Santo Placer."

Crab Hut

★★★★☆ 3.7 (795) • $$

"This is an updated review from another amazing visit here. Last weekend, we decided to go for a crab bake at Crab Hut and ended up sampling two of their enticing dishes. The restaurant was a well-organized space adorned with a charming oceanic theme. We ended up sitting outside in the sun and it was amazing, although the interior was equally inviting. Parking was a breeze, especially if you opt for the southern end of the lot rather than vying for a spot directly in front of the establishment.Our dining experience kicked off with stellar customer service. It's worth noting that a gratuity of 18% is automatically included in the bill--an arrangement we found reasonable given the exceptional service we received. In fact, our waitress went above and beyond, promptly seating us with a warm smile and attending to our needs with remarkable attentiveness. Despite the tip being pre-added, we felt inclined to add more as a token of appreciation for the outstanding service.Turning to the food, we started with a serving of calamari and fries. While the portion sizes justified the price, we found the calamari lacking in flavor and seemed overcooked. However, the fries salvaged the appetizer, boasting a satisfying crunch and delightful seasoning.For our main courses, we opted for the Spicy Cajun Pasta and the Spicy Jambalaya. Both dishes were executed flawlessly, with the pasta perfectly cooked and infused with just the right amount of spice to complement the succulent shrimp. The Jambalaya, teeming with an abundance of seafood and meat, surprised us with its robust flavor profile. Though I would have preferred a bit more heat, the dish still left a lasting impression.In conclusion, our dining escapade at Crab Hut left us with a generally positive impression. While the appetizer fell short of expectations, the exceptional service and well-prepared entrees more than made up for it. We look forward to revisiting Crab Hut in the future for another taste of their enticing seafood offerings."

Polite Provisions

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1830) • $$

"Great happy hour and good vibes. Came on a Fri around 4 and it wasn't too busy at all. You order at the bar and then take a seat anywhere. I love how many options they have on happy hour. Mostly cocktails but a rotating beer option as well. I got Rome with a view which was like a lighter negroni. Very tasty. Also got the mojito which was just ok. Not minty enough for me."

The Nolen

★★★★☆ 4 (751) • $$$

"Writing this review after multiple visits and each time have had a pleasant experience. This is an excellent spot for a rooftop bar with all the views, from the water to Petco Park and is also a great pre-game stop before a game. I also appreciate the fire pit and fireplaces because it can get cold up there. Service has been decent and noticed there were a lot of waitresses working this particular day. Food & Drink: It is on the pricier side especially since you're in downtown but they do have happy hour 7 days a week (M-F 4-6pm and Sat-Sun 3-6pm) which is nice. All drinks I've had here were good as well as the food and is in-line with most other downtown establishments. Lastly, this is a great place to take visitors."

Casa Sirena

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"This place is very clean and the service is excellent. The food is really good. I would try the burritos. Fresh seafood and also frozen seafood is available for sale along with other products. What I like about this place is that it's obvious that they know what they're doing."

Bellamy's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (631) • $$$

"This restaurant has a casual bar area and a warm welcoming dining room on the back side. The service from our waiter, Orion, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and took good care of us. It was truly 6 star service! On Mondays, this place has some of the best prime rib in town with their Monday special. Even the end cut was perfectly pink and tender. Their filet mignon entree was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The steak came with whipped seasoned potatoes and a vegetable. I asked for carrots and asparagus. They offered a birthday dessert for our group since we were celebrating a birthday. We absolutely loved this local eatery and fine dining place!"

Staff was friendly and efficient, we got our drinks and food quite quickly given the crowd. 5 Stars during Happy Hour, maybe 4 Stars after Happy Hour. $8 Cocktails include Gimlets, Old Fashioneds, and Vodka Mules...I drank Gimlets as they cheap, refreshing and delicious! And much cheaper than inside the stadium.$8 Nachos...nice snack, its a small dish, but still satisfying.$6 Fries...good enough$17 Burger...not a happy thing, described as Double Smashed Patty, Swiss, Bacon and Special Sauce. Good burger, I've had better, and it sadly did not come with any fries. Hence the extra side order of fries above."

The Balboa

★★★★★ 4.5 (915) • $$

"Good old-school bar with fabulous burgers. I saw the sign claiming to be the best burger in San Diego so I stopped by to try. It seems there is always a line for people buying take-out! Sat at the bar and had a drink and a burger! Frankly Burger is pretty good. There is only about 4 different kinds and menu is non existent! Still nice juicy burger comes your way....The only down side Balboa is a bar so expect it to be significantly louder than your ordinary burger joint..."

The Shanty Cocktail Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.1 (114) • $

"Where has this place been all my life? I love any dive bar, but this one has big outdoor space, a sea view, friendly service, happy crowd and lots of adorable neighborhood dogs which for me is a huge plus. I didn't have time to sample the Copper Kings Burgers and fries grilling outside but they smell and look delicious -- like what In-n-out is supposed to be. Parking is a challenge but I got insanely lucky as someone was pulling out of a prime space just as I arrived. The house beer on tap (Shanty Blonde) is just ok, but they have others and it's really not the point. Best vibe ever. Can't wait to come back!"

Cocina de Barrio - Encinitas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (155) • $$$

"Tried this place out for the 1st time! The staff were really great! I sat outside, and they lowered the shade to block the sun,as well as offered to put the heaters on if I got too cold, which was super sweet. Disappointed they done offer chips and salsa, only if you ordered their made to order guacamole....which based on couple sitting behind me was amazing. I had their La Rosa hibiscus and it was the perfect drink on a warm day. I also ordered the portobello mushroom tacos and the blackened salmon tacos. The portobello tacos were fantastic and also vegan which was a plus. The blackened salmon however, was rather disappointing. It lacked flavor and next time I'd just stick to the portobello ones. Overall, great spot for yummy drinks, awesome service and decent food."

El Sueño

★★★★☆ 4.1 (399) • $$

"I checked this place out on aSunday afternoon and there was no wait. We sat outside and weather was nice. You start with chips and 4 different salsas. I enjoyed two of them. We got elote, chicken flautas, a birria quesadilla, and the crispy rice. I kid you not everything was sooooo delicious 10/10. The quesadilla was huge. Margs were also very good. Check this place out."

Surfing Crab

★★★★☆ 4.3 (154)

"A little busy on a Friday night but my party of 3 was seated right away. Wings were very good, as expected. If you like Crab Rangoon or cream cheese wantons you'll love the crab puffs with real crab. Onion Rings were a large portion for $7. Sort of a tempura type batter that benefits from a touch of salt at the table. Ketchup was a better choice than the provided marinara. Daughter's catfish was very good. Look forward to our next trip!"

Harry's Taco Club

★★★★★ 4.5 (197)

"Getting back to normal #12Everytime I use the post office next door, I need to stop here The mural of Our Lady of Guadelupe, patroness of the Americas is what first caught my eye. It says, " Pray for tacos" it's not irreverent, so I don't mind it, plus maybe some people will learn all the cool things about her apparition... I still can't get over that the pigment not only can't be identified on earth, but that it hovers over the tilma...but I digress, the best thing is the message of Our heavenly Mother...Back to the good food. I love their cantaloupe agua fresca with juicy bits of melon. Can't go wrong with any of their tacos or burritos. Love the seafood selection and meats in those. Great sauces too. What else can you ask for?"

Park & Rec

★★★★☆ 4 (455) • $$

"One of the only places left not charging a cover.... And that's why it's PACKED 24/7! Park & Rec is a good time with some good drinks and great music. There's indoor bar, there's outdoor bar, there's a little secluded area where a full on rave is going on and sometimes if you're lucky, they're making and selling taco's outside! I love this place, but if you're claustrophobic, stay far away. It is crowded. I feel like I lose half my drink from everyone just bumping into each other. The drinks themselves are good, but pricey. You're definitely not paying dive bar prices here. I haven't tried happy hour yet, but I'm sure it's even more packed than usual. Service is always good and they're playing some of the best music here."

Cross Street Chicken and Beer

★★★★☆ 4.3 (368) • $$

"Love that this restaurant is now in Del Mar!Farewell to terrible Convoy parking. Came here twice already. Took my family and then we took our visiting priest here with some friends. They LOVED the chicken. We're tried almost every flavor. The honey garlic one was a favorite. Go alone. Go with friends. Share chicken and salad and you'll all be quite happy."

Flap Your Jacks

★★★★☆ 4.2 (994) • $$

"This is the perfect breakfast spot for a date! It can be interactive while also getting some good food out of it. While they definitely pride themselves on the flapjacks, there is also an extensive menu with other breakfasts like cinnamon rolls and eggs Benedict. But when I come here, I usually opt for the flapjacks. I love that there are always plenty of flavors and toppings to choose from to make your experience a yummy one! Highly recommend for a date or even if you have kiddos!"

The Cordova Bar

★★★★★ 4.8 (183) • $$

"I've driven past the Cordova Bar so many times over the last decade, but somehow it took me until now to come in. This bar is way nicer than I thought it'd be. For some reason, I was imagining a total dive, but this place has a beautiful outdoor patio with comfortable lounge furniture and fireplaces. The inside also has couches and comfy seating as well!Each night, they have a variety of drink specials. Friday is martini night for $12. The martinis seemed pretty comparably priced with their other drinks (between $12-15). I enjoyed a key lime pie martini, which was super fun- not something I'd usually order, but a fun treat!They also had a pop up food vendor there. They served egg rolls for $8 each. At around 10:00, they let us know that we'd need to all go inside as they have to be mindful of the noise ordinance."

The Blind Burro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1752) • $$

"According to my Yelp history, I've been eating here for over 10 years, almost all of which is during Comic Con weekend. Blind Burro is a good place...you come for the lively ambience, festive downtown crowd, for some elevated and a bit overpriced Mexican food. Service from the staff is always friendly and attentive. Inflation! The Chimichanga Burrito went from $18 to $23 in just a year...I remember it being good but not that good. It's enough food for the average American, but my beer belly needs more. I opted for the $16 Nachos, and added carne asada for extra $6, for a total of $22. This was a lot of food! A generous pile of flour and corn tortilla chips, covered in queso manchego, triple chile cheese sauce, pico de gallo, radish, candied jalapeños, guacamole, queso cotija and that extra $6 carne asada that was beefy, tender, and delicious! I ate about 2/3rds of this before giving up and sharing with my friends. This is the best bang for your burro!"

Abnormal Heights

★★★★★ 4.6 (32)

"Abnormal Heights is a new bar and lounge on the rooftop of a multipurpose building in the Normal Heights neighborhood. The hostess stand to check in was located around the corner on the sidewalk of Bancroft St. You can then take the stairs or an elevator to the fourth level where the bar is located. The setup can hold almost 100 customers so it's not a tiny space. The view overlooking Adams Ave to the south was terrific as you can see airplanes descending in the distance on their approach to the San Diego airport.The place is currently open from Friday to Sunday starting at 4 pm. Online reservations can be made using the Toast system. QR codes to access the menu were affixed to the tables and countertops. The offerings consisted of three appetizers, six entrees, six cocktails, three mocktails, beer, and wine. I sat at a countertop space on the south edge with Adams Ave below. The following were my selections...* Chicken Delight Skewers - grilled chicken and bell pepper and onion medley skewers with a side of herb aioli* Achiote Ember Pork - citrus marinated pork chop with achiote and chipotle accompanied by polenta, grilled carrots, and baby tomatoes* Dawn Dew (Misty Bloom) - blend of botanicals featuring floral non-alcoholic gin with lemon, lavender, and tonic fizzThere were three skewers in an order. The chicken cubes were portioned a little smaller than I have experienced elsewhere. The meat and vegetables were charred nicely by the kitchen. The bone-in pork chop rested on a bed of polenta. The pork was overcooked a tad as can happen easily with white meat on a grill. The mocktail was plain looking and didn't have any garnishments added.While improvements can be made on the execution of the dishes, the rooftop venue itself was very chill for a neighborhood hangout. There was nothing abnormal about it at all. Kudos to the manager (Josh) for taking extra steps to ensure proper customer service during my visit."

Ferny's Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (369) • $

"I've heard over and over again from several friends that this is THE spot for mexican/taco shop in the area and I have to agree... for the tacos. I had a burrito here once and that was not that great in terms of price, portion, and taste, however, I then followed up with the tacos... THE TACOS!The regular (non-mini) tacos themselves are quite pricey, (~$6 each depending on the protein you choose), however, it is so worth it. They are pretty hefty and the amount of protein makes up for it. I am a sucker for a fresh, hand-pressed tortilla, and these do not disappoint. The chew and bite into the tortilla is soft yet firm enough to told the monstrosity of fillings that it comes with. I recommend the fish, carne, and adobada.I decided to try a crispy potato taco for once, something I don't tend to order, but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The crunchy shell was nicely fried and the potato had really great flavor with pico and sour cream on top. wow, I'm a fan now!"

Beach Shack

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (29)

"This place is probably one of the best kept secret spots on the coast. Its right on the boardwalk in front of hotel Del. They recently renamed this place the beach shack and it litteraly is a shack they have a tiny bar seating area but more seating is available across the walk right on the beach. You cant beat the location to sit down and enjoy a beverage or 2. Martin was pouring some good drinks and the tacos were on point. It wasnt cheep but you cant put a price on that sunset location. We had a great time people watching ,eating and sipping on whiskey. Ohh its a full bar with some local breweries on tap so thats nice.They dont have set hours but they do close when the sun goes down, so plan on arrival well before sundown and you will be just fine.I will be coming back for sure very soon."

"Had happy hour today and the service was impeccable! The modern design is perfect and it was clean and ready for guests at 4pm. The jamon croquettes were bland and they were out of caviar! The oysters were amazing! I would order 2 next time! The halibut tempura was exceptional. I will be back!"

"We were waiting for our reservations for lunch and we decided to stop here for a few drinks. This location is located in the heart of Little Italy. I loved the rooftop and the vibes here . It's so colorful and decorated really nice. They offer breakfast lunch and dinner. They have amazing drinks. They offer a sweet Happy Hour also . They even offer a mimosa tower that is really cute . Lukas was our mixologist that day. He was so friendly and welcoming! He made us some yummy drinks . He went above and beyond with his service. We really enjoyed ourselves there . We would definitely be coming back . I highly recommend checking this place out ."

"Dinner was delicous. Cocktails were strong and a decent price. My rolled chicken tacos $14 were flavorful and big. It came with a side of tortilla soup. For dessert, we had a pizookie type of dessert that was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back."

Puesto At The Headquarters

★★★★☆ 4 (5057) • $$

"My wife and I were at the San Diego Harbor over Memorial Day weekend and we took a walk to a place we have not tried, Puesto.We sat at the bar in the paradise like atmosphere of San Diego and I ordered the house IPA from our friendly bartender as well as some chips and salsa which were worth the $3, the salsa was excellent.I ordered the short rib taco and the carnitas taco. After talking to my friend from San Diego, I should have tried the filet mignon, but the short rib was super flavorful and after couple bites the carnitas grew on me.The prices are very expensive for a taco, but the quality is definitely there. A nice treat if you are looking for some quality Mexican food, I wouldn't be surprised if a famous chef ran it."
