Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Hillcrest

High quality food, great service & atmosphere. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend this restaurant.

You can't go wrong -- fantastic views, great food, outstanding service. Checks all the boxes. A top restauraunt, one of the best in San Diego, that makes for a memorable occasion. One note that may be helpful: we went for Jazz brunch on a Saturday, and despite the band playing in the bar, the volume was just right and we could easily hear each other speak.

The Prado at Christmastime; it doesn’t get any more iconic San Diego than that! We dined with good friends, brought in one bottle of wine and ordered one at the table. Food was outstanding; our server, Katarina, was attentive and knowledgeable and good natured. Very good at her job! We had a great table and were never rushed to next course. It was a beautiful relaxing evening to share an outstanding dining experience with great friends.

Great restaurant that never fails. They updated their menu two weeks ago and while we missed the old favorites, the new menu is probably of wider appeal. I will say that the fajitas were just a bit too spicy, especially for an older person. The chips and salsa and guacamole are the best in town!!!

This place was incredible from start to finish. We had flown in some family for my girlfriend‘s birthday, and even though the plane was an hour late, we were seated immediately while we waited for the rest of our guests. The hostess was also unusually accommodating in reducing the size of our table while maintaining a perfect spot.  the waiter Colin was over the top with suggestions, service and a great smile. Your food was the best I’ve had in San Diego. The three medallions with crab, the tuna, avocado stack was the best appetizer, and the humongous mud pie at the end really topped it off. We enjoyed it so much. We ended up staying there for over four hours, and the gracious manager even took our picture by the Christmas tree when we were the last ones leaving. The parking is wide open and easy to do. No valet parking to mess up your car and spend another $20. All in all one of the best experiences I’ve had eating in San Diego. Not to mention the very unique view of downtown at night.
