- RRobertSan Diego •30 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe attended a Valentine's Day special meal where the only remaining reservation was at 9pm. That's a bit late for seniors, and later staff graciously moved us from 9 to 5pm. So thankful and it set the tone for the entire evening. Food was delicious. David, our waiter, was great. Courses came and departed as if choreographed. This dinner was only our second time at Valentina's. This time was a real step up and a most pleasurable experience.More infoValentinaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Encinitas•4.8
