Best Restaurants for Business Meals in San Ysidro

The food was incredible and the staff was extremely friendly. It was a Monday night and there were many people in the restaurant as expected. If you don’t mind a loud ambiance for a date night in Little Italy, then this is the spot to be! The highlight was the Gnocchi which is what my partner ordered. It was melt in your mouth delicious. The menu was so big I settled for the Carbonara. You can’t go wrong with Carbonara. Everything was flavorful and salted to perfection. The price wasn’t outrageous either. I recommend Barbusa 100%!

I really can’t say enough good things about Cowboy Star. The food is always amazing, but this time in particular I’m glad we didn’t skip dessert. Everything is always so flavorful and the steaks just can’t be beat, but the desserts on the fall menu are next level. Of course, Veronica took great care of us and the service and hospitality is really what always makes a visit to Cowboy Star memorable.

Great food, ambiance and service with Kevin. It was a beautiful night outside under the heaters. Ceasar salad, flautas and calamari were all perfect. The Pineapple Tamarind cocktail was fabulous!

Friend and I visited for the Thanksgiving prix fixe dinner. It was absolutely fantastic. We ordered the lamb shank, beef filet, and added the sweet potatoes. Our onion soup and blackened shrimp appetizer choices were delicious. The pumpkin cake and apple pastry desserts were so good. The overall standout was definitely the lamb shank. Unbelievably delicious. The wine list is incredible and we complemented dinner with a lovely Napa Cabernet. The service was excellent and absolutely what you would expect. Bill, was a delight and even took a few photos of us for my visiting friend. Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Unmatched hospitality! The server was knowledgeable about the food and able to describe them well. We didn’t have great luck with the clams, they were very chewy & overcooked but the broth was delicious. They took it back and a sweet manager, (I’m forgetting names) sent a hamachi that was to die for! Everything else that hit the table was delicious and we were very impressed. The bubbly and celebration desert was super appreciated as well. Honestly made my birthday dinner feel extra special, some places really don’t go the extra mile but they sure know how to impress.
