We’re not out to take the San Diego beer scene by storm or reinvent the wheel because the truth is, there’s no shortage of good breweries in San Diego. Instead, our aim is to pair that good beer with the same delicious food, exceptional service and genuine hospitality we’re known for so you never have to compromise one for the other again. Situated in Mission Valley, our 9,000 square foot brewpub includes a full service restaurant, an expansive and lush outdoor beer garden, and a pretty stellar team to make sure you always have good food in your mouth and a solid beer in your hand.

    Madison‘s has a very good vibe. Good energy, it is noisy. If you’re sensitive to noise, you might stay away. But if you like an upbeat place with great food, super friendly waiters and waitresses yummy drinks you’ll love the place. They have their own twist on espresso martinis.There’s several to pick from. I would definitely go back. Here’s a tip, take an Uber. It’s impossible to park.

    This is always a great place to come for dinner, Happy Hour, dessert, or a quick appetizer before a show. We have enjoyed the menu and loved the good atmosphere. This place is truly a nice spot to be. I am hoping that they put wings on the Happy Hour menu at some point.

    Wow where do I start!! 12/10 recommend. I have been thinking about our dinner from last night all day! The whole ambiance was stellar. Just from the moment walking in I had a good feeling and it didn’t stop there. Our server, David, was the best!! So professional and knew his stuff. He walked us through drinks too. He truly made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant. We had ideas of what to get coming in but we took David’s suggestions. Did not disappoint — I was happy dancing about the food each bite!! Hands DOWN get the Hamachi and the Pork Secreto. So simple and SO GOOD. They had a great wine list and cocktails to choose from too. If you’re a mezcal drinker, get the mango drink. Not a huge mango fan but woah! It was amazing and made me want to drink my partners. It’s clarified and their bar program did a great job on the process. Cody, the general manager, was the best too!! He was helping out the team and checking in with folks too. I’m so impressed by the way both Cody and David made us feel as if the only guests in a busy restaurant. It really elevated our experience and also made us feel we could ask for anything. Long review but yes go — get the mango and mezcal drink, hamachi, pork secreto, have David be your server, and meet Cody! It’s one of my new favorite places in San Diego. Thanks Herb & Wood team for the best experience!

    Very good atmosphere, be prepared to wait after your reservation time by at least 30 to 40 minutes before you will be seated. The food and the experience has always been good for us! The chefs are always nice and funny, the servers are always very kind with nice attitude. This has been our experience. Thank you everyone at Benihana. Keep up the Great job! chefs
