Restaurants near Old Mission Dam

We came in last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Alessandra and she was just amazing. First off the place is so cute & trendy, I love what they did with the space. We started our meal with the fritto misto (mixed calamari & veggies), fungo ripieno (mushroom w artichoke, red sauce & polenta) which was my personal favorite (the polenta was to die for) and the crispy burrata. We ate everything and left no crumbs ! Then we went on to our main courses. We ordered the fettuccine tartufo (mushroom & truffle - our tables favorite), spicy vodka pasta, ragu Della Nonna (red sauce with meat), and the parmigiana Milanese (eggplant Parmesan). Everything was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect & al dente, we ate what we could & took the rest home! Then came dessert. It was my father’s birthday and they offered us a dessert of our choice, Alessandra recommended the fresh made table side tiramisu -good choice. Flavors were so well balanced. We also ordered the cannoli and was one of my favorite cannolis ever! Needless to say we will be coming back again! Thank you for the great dinner.

This place was much better than what i had this visit.

We had a group of 8 for Sunday brunch. Service was great, especially the free glowing champagne. There were many food choices, buffet style. So many choices there’s no way to try everything. Price was fair. I’d definitely go back!

This KnB Bistro opened recently in the Tierrasanta neighborhood of San Diego. I brought a visiting relative for a light bite, glass of wine, and conversation. We both got street tacos on the Happy Hour menu, along with a side salad which was big enough to split. Both the carnitas and beef tacos were fresh and tasty. Brandon, our server, was great! He was friendly and attentive to whatever we needed. What’s most important is that he was patient and respectful even tho we are in our 70s & 80s mixed in with a younger crowd. The Happy Hour wine selection was sooo good I purchased two bottles of it on the way out at their special price. I personally would like to see more shareable options on the Happy Hour menu and the price of the drinks dropped a little. But other than that, I’ll be back at KnB (Keg ‘n Bottle) next chance I get.

Fun place to hang with friend to watch the Padre game.
