- KKimberlySan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoChristmas Magic Our dining experience was golden. The atmosphere was over the top, literally with giant snowflakes, golden ornaments sparkling everywhere. We had a smile on our face the whole evening. Our food was delicious. I had the filet again because it's that good. My friends had the salmon. I tried the 1/2 Caesar salad, the best I’ve had in years. We got a side of crispy red potatoes and garlic bread with dipping au jus. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. They give you umbrellas to use because every hour on the hour Christmas music starts to play and it snows!!!! So much fun. To top it all off we had the Baked Alaska flambé. Our waiter poured a flaming blue caramel sauce over our dessert. What a show! My only regret was we shared it and I didn’t get my own. LOL!! Excellent place for a date night, but a must see for everyone to get in the Christmas spirit. PS We loved our waiter Michael he gave us exceptional service .More infoinsideOUTPrice: Expensive• Californian• Hillcrest•4.7
- RRachelvipSan Diego •19 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoSo much better than my last visit. I chose the Giardino Stromboli, stuffed with lots of cheese and veggies, which was delicious. It was quieter than usual, but it was Tuesday and not crowded. Service was top notch!More infoNorth Italia - Fashion ValleyPrice: Expensive• Italian• Mission Valley•4.7

- LLauraSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFood and drinks were amazing! The decor was lovely and the vibe was fun! Ken was our server and he was great, but the woman who took over for him while he went on break was not friendly, which was why I only left three stars for service. Additionally, two people in my party had to cancel due to illness. I tried to make a change to the reservation online, but wasn’t able to do so through the OpenTable app. I called the restaurant and kept getting a busy signal, so I was never able to alert the restaurant to the change in number of guests. When I explained that to the hostess upon arriving at the restaurant she seemed irritated at the change and told us we had to wait while she changed the table setting. The food was delicious and I loved the atmosphere, so I will definitely return, and hope of having friendlier staff and improvements in using the OpenTable appMore infoGravity Heights Mission ValleyPrice: Moderate• American• Mission Valley•4.7
- LLaurenSeattle / Eastern Washington •15 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 11, 2024The food, as always, was really great and they had gluten free and vegetarian options for those in our party needing it. This visit, our server did not return to our table to check on us until we were almost done eating and we needed water, drink refills, and condiments. Also for happy hour, you have to ask what they offer and they don't share a menu or offer up the deals even if you order the eligible items.More infoP.F.
