Best Date Night Restaurants in Rincon

Been fan of Hells Kitchen since season 1. Already experience Gordon Burger and Gordon Fish N chips in Las Vegas. Happily to know there’s a Hells Kitchen in San Diego. Didn’t know it’s 30 minutes away from Pechanga Resort N Casino. Restaurant is located within Harrahs Casino Came in 15 minutes prior to reservation but was happily seated right away from the hostess. Server was knowledgeable on explaining first timers of the menu and how it works. Seasonal Christmas holiday drink is highly recommended because it’s not only sweet but it tastes like hard candy. That’s also what surprise me: the bartenders can make any specific drink you request or they can surprise you. Order two drinks that’s similar to the holiday drink but different. Not only each one looks beautiful but it tastes differently but still sweet Order the prefix menu which includes either scallops/beet salad and beef Wellington and stick y top pudding. In addition, order the lobster risotto and Mac N cheese and seasonal soup. That’s a lot of food but was sharing with my gf. Appetizers comes first then entree then dessert. Scallops is excellent and gf is not a fan of seafood but she enjoys it. Texture of risotto is smooth and creamy. Soup was sweet but hits the spot. Gf was surprise of the Mac N Cheese because she hates it Mac N cheese but HK got it perfect. Wellington is staple and so good. Sticky top pudding his Ramsay mother recipe but elevated and it’s huge. Got a complimentary mini sticky top for celebrating an anniversary. Overall, it’s very good and highly recommended on going. Only downside is the drive but worth it

This was our second visit to Animae. Last night we dined as a couple, and I think we enjoyed the dinner even more than with a group of 7. We were not distracted by the friends and conversations, and we appreciated the amazing creativity and innovation that Chef Tara is bringing to San Diego diners! We began with the Kampachi Crudo with Yuzu sauce as a cold starter, and it was excellent. We also had the Beet Salad from the cold starter section, and the beets were on a ricotta creamy sauce. Also Excellent! My favorite burst of flavor from both visits was the Hunan Lamb Chops which have Szechuan Peppercorns as one of the lively flavors, from the Hot Starters section. We ordered the Wagyu Fried Rice, and enjoyed it very much with the Lamb Chops and with the final meat course: Roast Duck Leg, with an Asian flavors sauce. We had the Chocolate Cremeux dessert, and it was also a show stopper! The table service was gracious, informative, friendly, and not irritating in any way. The scene inside the restaurant was very cheerful, and the room is dramatic and very arty! Animae is definitely our go-to restaurant for out of town guests who might have preconceptions that San Diego dining is not on an international level.

The service has been very good. People are going out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food is right on - quite delicious.

Wonderful gem I’d definitely recommend trying out.

I guess this is my 5th times @ InsideOut, during my birthday; Thanksgiving; regular days without occasion & this is our first time for Holidays Oasis Experience with my husband. It was beautiful experience especially the ambiance was so fantastic, our server Jonathan, he’s so great. The food kind salty (oven chicken) but the filet mignon was so good very tasty tender, and juicy it was perfect, my husband love it so much that his favorite. It’s 10 score for me. I love the place and definitely is a must to come back and highly recommend 😘
