    Everything from food to service was outstanding. Tammy took such great care of us and made my partners birthday extra special. Highly recommend their dry aged steaks. So tender and flavorful and melts in your mouth. The cheesecake was a favorite as well.

    Love this place so much! Had the beet and goat cheese salad to start and then we ordered the chicken florentine and rigatoni bolognese. Food was full of great flavor, the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was chill and pretty. Highly, highly recommend!!

    Balboa Park is beautiful, especially during the Christmas season. The receptionist has a big beautiful welcoming smile and we were seated promptly. The cocktails were delicious (Old Fashioned and raspberry lemon drop). The servers and waitress (Brittany) were very attentive. The food was excellent, as always. Beef sushi roll (who knew?!), the Caesar salad, the short ribs - tender and so flavorful. The Prado never disappoints!
