Restaurants near In Little Italy, Close to Gaslamp & The Convention Center

I have loved Kettner for years because every time I go the food and the atmosphere is absolutely outstanding. They never have a bad day when it comes to their food or service. Their menu includes options for everyone, it seems to be a mix of Asian, American and even Mediterranean flavors. They have different vibes for all of the occasions. You can have a beautiful family dinner in the dining room, a night out for drinks at the lively bar or even rooftop cabanas for bigger celebrations. I truly think they deserve to earn their Michelin star instead of just being on the recommended list.

This was our first time here! Amazing service, amazing food, decent pricing. Fun place!! We had the meatballs and garlic bread for appetizer’s. After having that I knew the rest would delicious and I wasn’t wrong! The short rib lasagna was amazing! Portions are big! You will not leave hungry.

Food and service were great, We really wanted to see cheese wheel pasta bar but windows were draped shut… disappointed

The assortment of fresh ceviche, tiraditos and crudo was amazing! Will take multiple visits to get through the fantastic menu! Service was excellent also.

Had an early lunch reservation for my birthday, seated on arrival. Given a cute birthday menu. Ordered a very strong & delicious Mai Tai, cup of chowder, and lobster rolls with fries. The chowder was very good, just thick enough and great flavor. The biscuit served with the chowed was still warm when it was served. The lobster roll was delicious, but the amount of lobster in the roll was skimpy compared to our previous visits to Ironside. Our server surprised me with a complimentary dessert to celebrate my birthday. My husband said he got a call prior to our reservation asking whose birthday it was and if they had any allergies. Thoughtful. Staff from the host to servers were all very welcoming.
