"I lived in the Bay Area for 8 years and sometimes I crave Indian food. Glad that we have the Naturally Desi Cafe in Rancho Bernardo. Super cute restaurant, very modern and clean. Food is delicious and the type of dishes that I like at an Indian restaurant. The down side is the pricing. I find it too expensive for what it is and now I only go when really craving that kind of food. Definitively not fast-food prices even if the restaurant is on the casual side."

"Good experience here and good vibes. Came in on a Thursday afternoon randomly because we were in the area. Lots of tables for a smaller-sized front of house, good seating arrangement. We had the grilled swordfish plate and the grilled halibut plate. Both were fresh and seasoned well. Not shy on the spices and herbs here! Brussels as a side is a must do. Overall very healthy and good size portions. Pricing was reasonable at an average of $25 for a grilled seafood plate with two sides. The server was really nice and attentive. She wasn't fake-nice either, more like, down-to-earth nice. Made the experience that much better. Very chill vibes."

Crab Town

"Bring on the garlic! A simple Garlic Noodle dish that had a generous amount of garlic. Then ordered the mini combo. A proper Nawlins boil. Got the corn, potatoes, Clams, sausage, shrimp, mussels and that Cajun craw fish. All of that boiling in with lemon pepper garlic and mild heat. The New Orleans seasoning was filling the air when the bag was delivered. Perfection. I like the variety in the combo, the mild heat was just enough kick. The portion size was good. This with rice was just a good choice. No issues getting seated and the staff were friendly and helpful. Mel MYelp 23:26"

Mariscos Oceanos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (53)

"Good food trucks are a dime a dozen these days, and luckily for me, this was one of the good ones. I ordered fish taco and a shrimp taco as well, both were battered and fried. They also offer grilled fish tacos, I learned later, which I would of had instead, but they are not on the menu. Both tacos came served with a light white mayo based dressing and with fresh slaw and a scattering of diced tomatoes and onions (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mariscos-oceanos-san-diego?select=MU7ZUhucQjbQKSYsrq_E_g#xOJqwrG36IiQ_a52y4_FPA). The fish taco was great. The batter with crispy and the fish inside was succulent and tender. The Shrimp taco was good too, but the batter could of used just a wee bit of more time in the fryer to crisp it up. The shrimp inside were well cooked and tender (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mariscos-oceanos-san-diego?select=MU7ZUhucQjbQKSYsrq_E_g#8mzgb5f8fiYoreKoMque5w). The corn tortillas were good, but I would recommend, if they can afford it, to double up on the tortillas because the tacos had a tendency to break under the weight of ingredients, especially the sauce. The offer a cup of fish broth with every meal, which I did not partake, and they have seating available next the truck. They are located as of 1/3/15 in the Miller's Market Parking lot. Nice people too....on the upper end of 3.5 stars.."

Our server was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. The beer was cold and the food was great. We started with the trio of dips, which was wonderful. I got the soup and salad combo. The soup was AMAZING. Hubby got the grilled shrimp and broccoli, which he devoured in minutes. I'll try the tacos next time since I saw another table get them and they looked delish. Overall, we will definitely be back!! The prices were actually very reasonable and all the food was fresh. It's nice having a local sports bar option that has healthier menu items."

Platter #3 can easily serve 12 people. All the food was good. I love the halal meat and the rice. All platters come with a salad and hummus plus a huge naan bread. I'm not a fan of the hummus.

There's really no bad seat in this restaurant, the whole place is well thought out. I absolutely loved being able to have good food while sitting waterfront.The food was good! The Lobster tacos were tender and well cooked, tasted fresh. Truffle fries? Yes, please. I felt there was too much oil on the green beans and carrots for my liking HOWEVER the vegetables had a nice crunch.The staff was friendly and attentive. I would love to come back!"

"Wonderful, more upscale Vietnamese restaurant, in other words, wait staff dressed in formal black, linens on the table, and wine list available.Menu items were pretty diverse with rice and noodle options and stir fry's. I selected the house special claypot rice, which has a bit of everything - chicken, shrimp, veggies. Surprisingly, the typical "takes about 20-25 minutes" was not noted for this item on the menu, as is typically the case for claypot dishes at other restaurants. My husband ordered the shaking beef entree.Both dishes came out at the same time. The shaking beef was so flavorful and tender! I loved the claypot as well, great texture from the rice that's stuck to the pot and the tender chicken, some different flavors from the medley of veggies, it was very comforting. Best of all, service was very friendly and attentive."

"This is a must do in SD with the waterfront views and lobster tacos! I came here with a group of friends before a concert and it was a hot sunny weekend day. Multiple ppl were gathered around, and we ordered several menu items during our dining experience. Drink: Spa Day. Tasted like lemonade, and I couldn't taste the alcohol so I ordered two, lol. What we had:Oysters - Super fresh! Perfect to eat with the spectacular view!Lobster tacos - Meaty and delicious, highly recommend you order this. Brussel Sprouts - You get quite a bit of vegetables with this dish. This is shareable, and I like the crisp on the brussels.Pear Flatbread with Balsamic Vinaigrette. I really liked this because it was sweet with the pears and had some savory elements with the cheese. Pairs well with wine. Service was on point, however, when they clear your plates and you're still picking on your food, they don't give you fresh plates and utensils unless you ask. We also had to frequently ask for water for our party. Overall, I had a good experience, and you can't beat the view!"

"We decided to try this place at the recommendation of some friends and we are glad we did. First, the food. Everything we had was really good! I ordered a surf and turf (even though this place is more Italian) and the meat and shrimp were fantastic. The filet was cooked perfectly and was a great cut of meat. When dealing with the quality of meat you get with this place, you don't want to smother the meat with a bunch of seasoning. You want to be able to taste the quality of meat and here you'll get a good piece is filet. The bread they bring out was fresh, super hot and also very good. They also have a very extensive wine list. The service was also very good. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive to the needs of the table. He also made great recommendations while trying to decide what to get. The atmosphere here was pretty great. It wasn't loud and obnoxious, it was very nice. I was a little bummed that this place was not closer to the water and the traffic right outside makes sitting in the front patio a little loud. We sat inside. All in all this place was a pretty good place to have a nice dinner. If you're in the area give it a try! Cheers!"

Amalfi Cucina Italiana - Carmel Valley

"This place is stunning! I loved the food, service, and the live entertainment.... everything! All dishes had beautiful presentation and tasted great, like the Branzino, Pork and Polenta dish, and my Linguine alle Vongone. We tried the octopus to share, which again, was presented and cooked so nicely with the octopus wrapped around the toasted bread. I was relieved the texture was not chewy at all, which I thought it would be. My Linguine alle Vongone had sooo many clams and everything was full of flavor. I demolished the whole dish, no leftovers. Mathieu offered the best service! He was super friendly, always had a smile on his face, and gave us everything we asked for. We went on a Wednesday evening and they have Roman Palacios + band perform live music for a few hours every week. He's amazing! You have to go when he's there. This restaurant itself is pretty. Surprisingly has a lot of seating with both indoor and outdoor (outdoor patio just as stunning). Nice and clean. Highly recommend!"

"The ladies who run and own this food truck are great and make some pretty good grub as well. After work, I stopped by to check them out and ordered a couple of fish tacos a la plancha or griddles over a hot flat service. The were pricey at $5 a piece out of the norm that I usually pay at the rest of the food trucks at $3.50. There price is no reflected on the menu.The fried fish tacos are well priced at $1.70 each.The tacos came with a good amount of well seasoned and griddle fish. The fish was piping hot and succulent and each taco came with two individual portions. I like the golden brown sear they applied to the fish.Both tacos came handsomely filled with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, chopped onions, and a touch of cilantro. I asked for no mayo but definitely put some of their tasty creamy chipotle sauce that's available in one of those large plastic squeeze bottles.They double wrap each taco with warm corn tortillas which I truly appreciated. Speaking of warm, the hospitality at this food truck is quite warm as well and the ladies have a good sense of humor as well."

Mariscos El Tiburon

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (29) • $$

"I had a couple of grilled fish tacos from this place a la carte because they don't offer a combo. You can add a side of rice and beans for $4 but that just did not seam fair to me, but that's just me. The tacos were $2.25 each which was a good price for grilled tacos.The tacos were good and I enjoyed the flavor of the tacos and I appreciated the light gold brown crust they put on the filet of each taco. Seasoning was light but enough to support the fish and the taco as a whole. Both tacos came with a good amount of shredded greens and and some tossed chopped tomatoes. The white white sauce that they topped the tacos with was creamy and mild in flavor but good.The area were they made a slight mistake or kinda put a damper on the tacos was the manner they warmed the corn tortilla. I loved the way they lightly fried it on the griddle and gave it that translucent appeal, but unfortunately the tortillas were unevenly cooked. Some portions had that nice color and warmth of the light frying an other had that color and texture of a cold corn tortilla, so consistency here when preparing the tortilla would be appreciated. They were good quality corn tortillas however.They offer a basket of chips and house made salsa when you dine in. The chips were good and the salsa was tasty and packed some good heat. The lady who served me was nice and had a good funny personality."

We bought some Clam Chowder to eat at home. It was delicious and the bread was flaky and fresh. Check it out you won't regret it."

"This restaurant is beautiful! We had a large group here and shared everything. I got a yummy mocktail with a taijin rim. A complimentary broth was brought out for us, which was a nice start. We shared the white fish tiradito, ceviche, Simon's shrimp, fresh oysters, salmon habanero-lime style, octopus, rockefeller oysters, rock spicy shrimp, petroleros shrimp, and a couple of other dishes. A few of the dishes had too much sauce or mayo to my liking, masking the flavor of the fish.The seafood was fresh and flavorful! We didn't initially order much, but were still hungry, so we ended up trying almost everything on the menu! I'm not sure if they added more items since my visit in May.For dessert, we got the flan and blintzers! Both desserts were great and not too sweet. Service was very attentive. I had a great time and would love to come back and try other menu items!"

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."

I got no cheese no sour cream and I added guacamole. I think my only complaint was the fries were a little over cooked. The carne asada was cooked perfectly and seasoned well."

"We made a reservation for the high tide dinner. Spectacular views of the ocean crashing into the windows, as promised. Wellworth, the prefix price of 165 per person.( not including drinks.) we brought our own bottle. $45 cage fee. The menu for this summertime high tide . Was spot on. we started off with the fresh focaccia bread with a cucumber cold soup. And Hamachi. Crudo. Large pieces of delicious fish. We enjoyed the buttery filet mignon and the ocean trout from Tasmania . Plenty of food lots of leftovers . The desserts are divine. I had a dark chocolate ganache cake, and we enjoyed the strawberry crêpe dessert. And at the end of the meal, we were given these adorable dark chocolate seahorses filled with caramel. ( make sure to ask for a window table if you can) I think I had called three times. There is plenty of parking on the street if you come early, but they do offer valet parking . ( unfortunately only when they're having their high tide dinners, you cannot sit at the bar, they will charge you the same amount which is 165 per person for dinner. The view is still gorgeous.) If you were to come on, you can sit at the bar and enjoy . The service is outstanding ..."

"This was hands down one of the best buffets I've ever been too. From the quick service to the variety and freshness of the food, this place has it all! This place is very large and can easily accommodate large groups, there was plenty of TVs as well and a full bar! The variety of food was outstanding, there was sushi, seafood, meat, bao buns, and tons more! There was so much to choose from and everything I got I loved! The frog legs were the BEST I've ever had. They were so moist and crunchy and had excellent flavor. I also loved the fried rice, Mongolian beef, the hot and cold crab legs and the sushi! The sushi was outstanding for a buffet and there was tons of options! They even had sea snails, that was fun to try. The s'mores station was so unique and so cute, as well as the cotton candy and chocolate fountain. The banana pudding is also a must try. I can't wait to come back, I am blown away that I haven't checked this place out sooner! Highly recommend."

Bruno’s Mexican Seafood

★★★★☆ 4.4 (36)

"Bruno's Mexican Seafood is a small mom-and-pop joint on University Ave in North Park. It's on a quieter stretch several blocks west of the main action in the neighborhood. I think a local couple operates the business. There was one table outside the front entrance and three more inside the suite along with four stools at a countertop. In other words, the seating capacity was very limited.The menu at the time of my visit listed eight tacos, four quesadillas, two ceviches, and two aguachiles. A couple of breakfast items and birria fries rounded out the main food selections. From what I can see on the current website menu, the choices of tacos and quesadillas have expanded along with the addition of tamales and a tostada.I came on a Taco Tuesday which featured a $3 special for a fish taco. It was a battered version prepared Sonoran-style. I opted for a grilled fish taco instead which cost about twice as much. Sticking with the seafood theme, my other two picks were an octopus taco and a shrimp taco. Each taco was served on a corn tortilla. Some combination of cabbage, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo, and/or avocado slices topped the tacos. I liked the grilled fish the best because it had the least toppings so I could enjoy the protein more.The size of the tacos was good for the price. They were certainly larger than street size. For the overall food quality and value, I gave a 4.5 star rating for my dining experience at Bruno's Mexican Seafood."

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!"

Edgewater Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (1519) • $$

"We made reservations for dinner at this great restaurant in Seaport Village for a weekday night. It was busy but we probably didn't need the reservation although it's better safe than sorry. We were immediately seated indoors with a wonderful view of the harbor. They have outdoor seating too but it was a bit chilly that night and we had noticed several tables asking to be moved indoors despite the heaters.Our spunky waitress did a fantastic job of taking care of us even considering she had far too many tables to attend to. She even took the time to come to our table and ask us if we wanted to go outside to watch a SpaceX launch as it was happening right then; it was a very cool thing to see and we appreciated her letting us know.I ordered fish and chips along with a glass of lemonade. The lemonade seemed freshly made, tart but refreshingly so. The fish was Alaskan cod, my favorite, and was light in flavor and fried perfectly. Malt vinegar was provided as was tartar sauce but the latter was used mainly to dip my thick fries into. This meal of fish and chips was the best I've had outside of the Pacific Northwest.Tiramisu for dessert! Their description: espresso & rum-soaked sponge cake, mascarpone, whipped cream, shaved chocolate. This was executed perfectly and I enjoyed the flavors in the sponge cake immensely. Considering this is a tourist spot the prices were reasonable. I'd definitely return here if I was choosing a place to eat in Seaport Village."

"This place was rated very high on Yelp. We were in the area so we decided to grab some lunch. Tommy at the front was really nice and is a hard worker. He handled everything including wiping the tables, taking orders, etc. we ordered the following ... *Seafood Cobb SaladHouse greens, grilled shrimp, blue cheese, bacon, tomatoes, eggs, avocado, house ranch dressing ( we asked for tomatoes on the side) *Rockfish Sandwich -Brioche bun,local beer-battered rockfish,lettuce, tomato, onion, You have a choice of house tartar sauce or chipotle mayo ( we requested both) *San Diego Seafood Chowder -Shrimp, clams, potatoes, oyster crackersI really enjoyed the rockfish sandwich. It was delicious and flavorful. The French fries that accompanied the sandwich were the standout! OMG so crispy and perfectly seasoned!!! The clam chowder soup was hot and yummy. I enjoyed it but I should have requested pepper for a little more seasoning. Lastly, the only concern I had was that I couldn't justify the "seafood" Cobb salad because it only had two pieces of shrimp. The presentation was nice but I felt it needed more seafood to be called a "seafood" club salad. Overall , I enjoyed the experience and those fries!!!!"

Temaki Bar Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (287)

"The concept of a dedicated sushi bar serving temaki (hand rolls) seemed solid to me. I wonder why it couldn't survive in the Convoy District and instead has blossomed much further north in downtown Encinitas. We arrived for a recent weekend lunch after finding open curbside parking along Highway 101. Temaki Bar Sushi has a sister location in Las Vegas, but nothing else in California so the folks in North County San Diego are fortunate to have this business in its midst.Thirty-six diners could sit around the central bar. If you add the seats along the countertops adjacent to the front windows and a couple of two top tables, then we're talking a total capacity of about 50 customers. Happy Hour was from 3 to 5 pm on Monday through Thursday. Monthly specials were also offered. The main menu consisted of starters, hand rolls, cut rolls, sashimi, and nigiri.We noticed that minimal staff were deployed to cover all the spots around the bar. Machines to pre-form rice balls and to wrap the cut rolls aided the chefs in the preparation process. Prefilled piping bags containing seafood mixtures were used to fill the interior of certain rolls. While it detracted from the authenticity of making sushi, the speed and efficiency to keep up with orders were maximized. It's likely to be the model going forward to temper the increasing cost of human labor.My friend ordered a five hand roll set which was priced at an affordable $26. We also split the Crispy Bang Bang Shrimp as an appetizer. Gochujang mayo and scallions coated the outside of the shrimp pieces which were mildly spicy. I picked three different a la carte hand rolls that happened to be the most expensive in this sequence... King Crab, Maine Lobster, and Toro. I liked the lobster hand roll the best because of the succulent claw meat. The toro quality was okay but a step down from the local high-end sushi spots.Value was the major positive attribute of Temaki Bar Sushi. You will not find prices like this for hand roll sets in central San Diego or anywhere else in the County for that matter. I thought our lunch experience fell between a four and a five star rating."

Water Grill - San Diego

★★★★☆ 4.4 (3466) • $$$

"My overall opinion on this place is that it was average. The decor, the food and the service - all average. What wasn't average was the prices. Wow! These prices do not reflect the experience I had here. My date and I were sat at a table close to the hostess stand and it was incredibly hard to find a server the entire night. Our water was empty for most of the dinner and they would only come over when they saw our alcoholic drinks were empty. To start, I got a Lemondrop Martini, which was really sweet and had a weird aftertaste to it. My date had the White Pinot Noir and I'm not a wine person at all, but I thought this was extremely tasty! I almost ordered one for myself. For food, my date and I shared the Spanish Octopus, which was cooked perfectly, but lacked a strong flavor. I enjoyed the potatoes that it came with though. For dinner, I got the Wild Alaskan Black Cod and my date had the Pan Seared Halibut. The halibut had a nice, light flavor to it, but it got boring after the first few bites. The black cod was very good and the noodles made a tasty addition. However, this was not spicy at all (and the server warned it was very spicy) and my dish was drowning in sauce and eventually everything became soggy because of it. Both fish were cooked perfectly. Plenty of other expensive restaurants to spend money at where you will actually get what you pay for."

Crab Pub

"First time coming to this location. I've been wanting to try them since they first opened & finally had the chance today since I was craving. I usually go to my usual location The Ace Crab off Plaza Blvd due to convenience of distance. Which they've been a hit every time I went aside from the last time. The last time was very salty & no spice. So I decided I needed to venture somewhere new which landed me here today. It wasn't busy, was seated immediately & ordered immediately. Service from our waitress was quick & efficient. The food came out super hot. We ordered 1lb crawfish, 1lb shrimp, lobster tail, & all the extras ala carte - 1lbs corn, 1/2 sausage, 1/2 potatoes, boiled egg, 2 cups of rice, & the chicken tender basket for my son, & 2 sodas. Total was about $102 without tip. The space was new, clean, & had an open floor plan. Didn't feel squished next to other tables. We ordered pub style seasoning & extra spicy. Our waitress cautioned us about the spice which I appreciate. Not everyone can handle spicy. We loveeeee spicy so it was only right! It was very spicy, had our nose running, lips swollen & red. Lol. But it was a GOOD spice for us! Some places claim spicy but ain't really spicy at all. Lol. If you can tolerate it, I recommend! I will continue coming to this business to fulfill my future cravings!! Love love love. Nothing bad to say!"
