Best American Restaurants in Linda Vista

We had a fantastic time at Herb & Wood. Since we were both busy on Valentine’s Day, we decided to celebrate on Saturday instead. From the moment we arrived, everyone at the restaurant greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. Our reservation was at 5 PM, so the restaurant wasn’t too crowded yet, but even as it filled up, the level of attentiveness remained exceptional. Our waiter, Troy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. For appetizers, we had the Sicilian Crudo and one of Troy’s suggestions—a warm dinner bread served with butter, honey, and herbs. I don’t remember the exact name, but it was absolutely delicious! For our main courses, my husband had the Iberico Pork, and I had the Roasted Branzino. The Branzino was packed with herbs and flavors—I usually can’t finish a large meal, but I couldn’t stop eating it. We were too full for dessert, though I wish we had saved room! It was our first time at Herb & Wood, but it’s now on our list of favorite restaurants for special occasions.

This was our fourth or fifth time dining at this Gravity Heights. Was excellent once again. Our server, Max (second time he was our services staff) is GREAT! The manager, Alex, visited our table more than once. Greatly appreciated. Lovely restaurant for a casual meal. The Mission Valley site has rapidly become our go to restaurants for a casual meal and relaxation.

Absolutely amazing experience. Manager knows exactly how to run an amazing allergy friendly place. I was astonished at the quality of service and food. Will be a regular now!

We had a lovely Valentines Day lunch. Consistent excellent wait staff and also consistent food quality makes this a favorite place for lunch in San Diego

Everything was great at Blanco - all the dishes were good, service was attentive, ambience nice. The Restaurant Week menu was a REALLY good value and everyone enjoyed their food. (We were a party of 6)
