    Great atmosphere and very festive environment to be in. Had fun Christmas decor and great customer service. The food is delish, my favorite was the mushroom risotto with pancetta is a must! The food comes out very hot and warm just to my liking. No one likes cold food and this place just knows how to keep the food steaming from oven to table. I have gone a couple of times already, making a reservation was easy.

    This place was incredible from start to finish. We had flown in some family for my girlfriend‘s birthday, and even though the plane was an hour late, we were seated immediately while we waited for the rest of our guests. The hostess was also unusually accommodating in reducing the size of our table while maintaining a perfect spot.  the waiter Colin was over the top with suggestions, service and a great smile. Your food was the best I’ve had in San Diego. The three medallions with crab, the tuna, avocado stack was the best appetizer, and the humongous mud pie at the end really topped it off. We enjoyed it so much. We ended up staying there for over four hours, and the gracious manager even took our picture by the Christmas tree when we were the last ones leaving. The parking is wide open and easy to do. No valet parking to mess up your car and spend another $20. All in all one of the best experiences I’ve had eating in San Diego. Not to mention the very unique view of downtown at night.

    The food staff and service not only met but exceeded our expectations. The menu was creative and extremely fairly priced. From the chefs sushi tasting to the rib steak beyond what a hotel restaurant typically offers. Jose, Ken, Mindy & Chris went above and beyond to ensure world class service during our short stay. Can not wait to return.
