   We had last minute reservations, were able to be Accommodated at a high table. Unfortunately we were sat next the DJ who didn’t seem to bump my chair periodically. Ultimately the ambience is lovely but we were not enamored with the food. Worth a visit but probably won’t revisit.

   Lively fun restaurant. Opted for four appetizers and one entree between the two of us, and while the food was unique, nothing stood out as memorable. I had been here for diner three years earlier, and I recall the menu being excellent. Evidently, the chef and the menu has changed and I don't think for the better. Cocktails were delicious. The staff was attentive and joyful, which combined with the festive atmosphere here makes a Friday night visit worthwhile. However, the kitchen is not up to par, especially for the price.

   A wonderful dining experience with April, who made the best food recommendations. If/when I return to San Diego, KEX, is a must.

   We ordered a variety of dishes to share. A few were excellent, several were good, and a couple were underwhelming. We liked the variety offered. Service staff were attentive, but they did take away 2 plates we weren't finished with, without asking. We were offered several seating options, and chose the upstairs patio lounge, which was moderately loud despite not having many people in it at first. Later, the noise level made conversations difficult and then impossible once the live music began. We were not informed about the live music and might have selected a different location had we known. Despite it being a cold evening, the patio temperature was kept comfortably warm by outdoor heaters. Atmosphere and experience overall were very good, and we would go again.
