We were seated immediately. The table they sat us at was great and very comfortable. The food was excellent but the real star was our server Mandy. She went the extra mile to make our anniversary dinner special and memorable. It was a great experience.

The ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.

What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely incredible, our server Nova was fantastic the whole night and the ambience was awesome. We could not recommend this place any more highly. This is a must go if you are a local in San Diego or just visiting! Beef wellington was delicious, the seabass risotto was possibly the best dish we have ever had.
