Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in San Diego

The service was excellent- always around, never bothersome. The food was outstanding- quality wise as well as the menu choices. For me it’s the best night time view in the city! It’s a wonderful location for special occasions!

Delicious appetizers and easy to share. Vegetables never tasted as good - love the trumpet mushrooms and baba and carrots! Hamachi appetizer was very exciting also. Service is quick and super efficient, although sometimes a bit too efficient as the server seems to want to run away as quick as possible

The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.

my parents are in town visiting, and we brought them here. Not only was everyone lovely, the food was delicious. Everything on the menu seems like it was a conscious choice, and each piece of the meal tasted delicious. We usually don’t order dessert when we go out, but we did this time and didn’t regret it.

The host was very friendly. The decor was pleasant and the restaurant embraced theme around the bar and in the menu. We were seated in a cozy booth. Waitress was warm and welcomed us within a few minutes of getting seated. We ordered salmon potato latkes. It was a generous portion and very delicious. We also ordered apple pancakes and avocado toast which were also good. We will be back again.
