    I loved the experience! I took my beautiful girlfriend there for our anniversary/Valentines Day and they were kind enough to write a little message on our dessert as per request. The food came out surprisingly faster than most restaurants. We got our food within 10-15 minutes when I excepted about 20-35 minutes with the amount of people there. I loved the vibe and will definitely come back again 🙌🏼

    Cocktails were phenomenal! I loved that the n/a cocktail tasted as good as a real one! Food was very good. Concept was really fun. Service was great, very fast, thoughtful and totally accommodating of our toddler! Great valenitne's day dinner for all three of us! I probably would have rated the food higher if it weren't for the fact that everything we've eaten in San Diego is amazing!!

    This is a 5 star experience! Our party of four tried four different cocktails, 12 different dishes and three desserts. Impossible to pick a favorite and impossible to select anything that was not exceptional. Additionally, the chef and team were super sensitive to serving any dishes that would be an allergy issue. So the food was glorious, the chef and team brilliant…yet the staff is what elevated the experience. From our two servers, their assistant, the sommelier and the front of house - one word - Brilliant. Best meal of the year winner
