    Girls night! We loved this place. We made a reservation- definitely recommend. Bc it’s a seasonally decorated restaurant, we got to see the spring experience, complete with blossom trees and a waterfall. Service was great, very quick with refills and made us feel so welcome:) it’s so unique, with mostly outdoor seating, they offer blankets if you get cold! But they also turn on the heaters so it was perfect👏🏼 I did have the best burger of my life but I liked the house potatoes even more😆 everything we tried on the menu was a hit. Parking The restaurant sent a reservation message recommending us to park at the dmv... Was not the safest walk over even with the sun up so maybe try to park closer than we did!

    This restaurant/bar is a whole vibe. It’s mostly outdoor type of seating but it’s absolutely gorgeous and well kept. My husband got the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich and I got the Lemon Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon. Both dishes were pure perfection. For drinks, we got a Ruby’s Nectar and Pleasantly Plum-P. These drinks were perfectly strong balancing flavor and alcohol. We would definitely come here again! If you are visiting San Diego, I’d recommend this place for sure.

    Fantastic experience! Google suggested this spot while I was looking for a place to enjoy some much-needed downtime, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Josh, my server, was wonderful; friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. He had such a great attitude and made the experience even more enjoyable. The venue is beautiful, my seat was perfect, and the atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. The drinks were delicious, fresh, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in San Diego!

    Made this reservation about a month ahead for Valentine’s Day and showed up about 15 minutes early. They actually had a table ready and seated us a little early, which was super nice. Our table just happened to be surrounded by some big, loud parties. We tried to make it work for a bit, but it was tough to have a real conversation for a one-on-one Valentine’s dinner. Not the restaurant’s fault at all, just the situation. I eventually went up and talked to an extremely sweet staff member named Logan to see if anything might be available, even though we had already ordered. No dice, so I sat down. Then within a couple minutes they came over and offered us a quieter table, which was really thoughtful. That completely changed the night. The Valentine’s setup was beautiful and we were able to actually relax and enjoy dinner. Huge thanks to Logan and the staff for going the extra mile and taking great care of us.
