- TTracyVIPSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWow! Happy Valentine’s Day to us! Zack was an amazing server! We asked him to for “dealers choice” and he provided us with the most amazing meals we have had in a long time! He was very personable and fun and had great drink recommenrations, too! The “little stickler” was a great tequila cocktail and made fiancée enjoyed supping Ocho Tequila all night. Thank you for a memorable Valentine’s Day night! 💕🥂🥰More infoHerb & SeaPrice: Moderate• Californian• Encinitas•4.6
- KKenVIPLos Angeles •84 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe service was excellent; our server, Oscar, was great! We were surprised that it was a special menu (I’ll assume responsibility for not asking the question, but I don’t recall seeing anything on Open Table about a special menu). That was fine (although somewhat disappointing because there was no Bolognese on the menu), but based on the pricing it appeared there was a desire to take advantage of the Valentine’s Day “holiday”. Won’t keep us from coming back, but not the best experience.More infoVigilucci's Trattoria ItalianaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Encinitas•4.7
- BBreanneSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoPacific Coast Grill has truly become our favorite restaurant, and we make it a point to celebrate all of our special occasions here. Every time we visit, the food never disappoints, but this time there were a couple of standouts that really made our experience unforgettable. The Cardiff Reef Roll was absolutely incredible, and the Alaskan Halibut was cooked to perfection—so flavorful and tender, it truly exceeded our expectations. Even though Pacific Coast Grill isn't a dedicated sushi spot, their sushi is unbelievable. It's always fresh, flavorful, and crafted with such care. It’s a pleasant surprise every time. We also really enjoyed the Pinot Gris from Willamette, which was the perfect pairing with our meal. The wine selection here always complements the dishes so well. Lastly, the valet service was impeccable. They were kind, professional, and made sure our car was parked right up front, so we didn't have to wait in the rain. It’s little touches like this that make a big difference in the overall experience. We can't wait to come back and continue celebrating more special moments here!More infoPacific Coast Grill - CardiffPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Cardiff By The Sea•4.8
