Made a reservation because had 2 small children with me was told I would need to wait 15 minutes - would have been waiting longer if I hadn’t gone back to the desk and reminded her that we were still waiting after 20 minutes - she seemed to have several lists she was going off of and my name had gotten lost in the shuffle. She had a tablet she was looking at so not sure why she had so many paper lists also.

We had only just recently discovered The Shop, and figured we'd check it out. After sharing a yummy bruschetta appetizer, we decided to design our own pizza. Admittedly, we made a minor error in ordering a large pizza (for two to share), but figured leftovers would be fine to take home. When the pizza came to our table, all of our toppings were huddled in the middle of the pizza. We were a little confused as to how none of the veggies had made it closer to the edge. With the pile of toppings in the middle, the center of the pizza was more than a little soggy. It was still tasty, but not all the way to the crust. It was a little weird. More, because we decided that the limited selection of specialty pizzas didn't strike our fancy (do people still say that?), we ordered our own combination of vegetables for our pizza. In the end, our pizza came out to $45-- steep even at San Diego prices. Aside from the pile of toppings in the middle, each topping ($3.50 for each topping?! Outrageous!) was far overpriced for the amount of toppings used. (Note: the price per topping is listed, but it's a bit of an afterthought on the menu and the server provided no reminder). It will be a long time before we decide to drop a pile of cash on an overpriced pizza that was rushed through the kitchen. Overall rating: Disappointing.

Went there on a busy holiday evening -- placed was very packed. The biggest negative was that service was slow, but our waiter was so nice that it wasn't a big deal. And Rosina herself walks around, telling you about the dishes and specials -- very sweet. The food was so good! Had the meatball appetizers over polenta, and that was excellent. The salmon was great, but the Rosetta was just amazing (pasta with ham in cheese -- sort of a ham/pasta fondue). We had the Primo super Tuscan wine, which was also great. We had carolers there too. Spent 2.5 hours, but very pleasant atmosphere. BTW, they have heat lamps for outdoor dining.

Dinner at the Black Angus is always delicious! We decided to have the Campfire Feast and wow was it ever! For starters, we shared the shrimp cocktail, then, we both ordered the cooked to order steak and 2 sides. The wonderful molasses bread is always a treat. We were going to share the carrot cake, but our server, the terrific Ava, was alerted that it was my birthday, so she brought a huge and yummy chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of ice cream and an candle for me to blow out. A trio of servers even sang the traditional Happy Birthday song! It was all great fun and a great way to celebrate another year! Thank you all for a perfectly lovely dinner and evening!! We will be back!

Gold stars to every worker at this location on Sunday night, November 3rd. We were celebrating a belated birthday and the place was absolutely slammed. There were several big parties, which is always a strain on waitstaff. Our server was gracious as she apologized for shortages or items being unavailable (the bar was out of Patron). We are always understanding of these situations because we know it wasn't her fault. Every one - hosting staff, wait staff, bus staff - were working their fannies off to keep things moving forward. Management should be proud of how well the restaurant was represented by these hard-working people.

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.

The dinner was delicious, I was looking forward to lamb but I guess they changed up their menu or it changes on a regular basis. I had fettuccine alfredo and my date had scallops. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The staff was very attentive and welcoming, the wine selection was very good, we both had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon that I had never had before, it was not the normal profile of a Cab Sav that I would enjoy (dry) it was sweet, but not too sweet and paired perfectly with the alfredo, it did not over power it. I will definitely be visiting again for special occasions or when I need to treat myself.

This place has been a gem for the better part of 3 decades. Chef's have come and gone but it stays consistently great. Great food, outstanding service and the best wine list to value that you can find in the whole city. We had not been in a while and during dinner we had to ask ourselves why. Try it, you'll love it.
