- SStephenVIPSan Diego •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe great news: service was excellent, food spot on. We had bread (must have), beets, and a charcuterie plate to start, which was plenty for four of us. All was excellent, but the charcuterie was the standout: perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and even came with notes so you knew what you were eating. For dinner, we had filet mignon, wagyu skirts, and a ribeye. All were superb and cooked exactly to specification. Desserts and drinks were also very good. The less fabulous: We asked for a quiet corner since it is a busy and crowded spot, and while we were in a corner of the private room in the back, so was a loud party of 6 or 8. We asked if they could do something, but nothing was done. Parking: Even at 5:30 on a Sunday, it was not easy to find a spot close by.. If there'd been valet, we'd have definitely used it. All in all, we'd do it again for a special occasion. The manager did listen to our noise issue, and acknowledged it impacted our experience tonight, so I don't expect it to happen againMore infoCowboy StarPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.9
- DWDerekWChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoIn town for a concert at Petco Park and was looking for a steak restaurant in the gas lamp district. What a surprise! We were a tad skeptical with the options of apps and sides but absolutely everything was top notch and we loved our dining experience. All servers were extremely friendly and fun yet super professional!More infoHuntressPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.5
- MMichael Mikey VSan Diego •9 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoAlways a good time at AKA, the ambiance is quiet when you arrive but at 8pm the DJ starts to play, slowly the music gets loud and by 10pm it is like a night club atmosphere. Dancing girls near the DJ keep you pumped up during the end of dinner and you get up and dance by 11pm. The experience is Fun, happy and elegant. You would dress to impress at AKA. It seems the fun starts late but goes on all night. Also on a side note, the Filet Mignon potstickers are the best. I had the Chilean sea bass and my wife had the Black Cod and both dishes did not disappoint. This place is 10 out of 10. I had so much fun. Giancarlo is the host GM, he makes sure everything is running at peak performance. I love this place and highly recommend it. Mikey VMore infoAKA San DiegoPrice: Expensive• Asian• Downtown•3.9
