Best Date Night Restaurants in Universal City

Yellowtail Jalapeno and Prime Ribeye Crispy Onion were definite YES. I would go back just for those. The staff were all really great: attentive, helpful, upbeat. David Spade sat at the booth behind ours, which was cool. I found a parking spot a few business's down for $1 per hour. Valet opens right at 6, when the restaurant's first reservation is available. Chill vibe.

Verse is a fantastic dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful with specifically designed acoustics so that you can talk with your companions. The staff is excellent and knowledgeable, attentive but not obtrusive. The cocktails were excellent as was the food. It was difficult to decide what to order because everything sounded so good!

We expected a special experience at the Tower Bar Restaurant this week, but we were pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than expected! The atmosphere was timeless and chic, the food was exceptional, and the service was beyond compare. It started at the front desk and was superb throughout our meal. We were never rushed, and were able to enjoy a long and relaxing brunch with multiple courses. The price was more reasonable than expected. And Angel our server was a true brand ambassador … he was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining, and made us want to not only return to the restaurant, but stay at the hotel the next time that we are in town. Thanks so much for a superb dining experience for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back again.

the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

Words hardly describe how wonderful this whole experience was: phenomenal wine pairings, impeccable service, attention to detail, exquisite plating, perfectly cooked, creative combinations....just incredible. On a scale of 1 to 10, this place is definitely an 11!!!
