Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ocean Beach

Christmas buffet had (5) gluten-free options for desserts!! Awesome!! Wish they used rice flour for the turkey gravy. Service was amazing!

This was one of the best meals we have ever had! The food and presentation was outstanding! Kudos to Chef Kinsella for his unique preparation of classic dishes!

This was our first time at Cesarina, and it won’t be our last! The pastas were absolutely outstanding—I especially loved my Arrabiatissima with malfalde and guanciale—and the table-side-made tiramisu was the best we’ve ever had. We loved the ambiance of the outside patio. Everything was splendid and the staff worked tirelessly and successfully to create a festive environment. Can’t wait to return!

Simply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!

Awesome experience as always. We love this place. The food, service and ambiance were excellent. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place👍
