Restaurants near Renaissance San Diego Downtown Hotel

Funky venue with responsive staff and beautiful food. Our wagyu was replaced when the first serving was overcooked - the second effort was delicious. Fairly priced for the quality.

Made a reservation for galentines dinner in the lemon patio and had a great time! The lemon patio is so cute and there are heating lamps to help keep you warm. Our server Marco C and the other staff members were very attentive! Even the hostess (I didn’t get her name but she had a lot of tattoos) was so sweet and offered to take pictures of our group for us. The food was fantastic! Since it was happy hour we got a lot of appetizers… we tried the calamari, truffle fries, garlic knots, oysters, brussel sprouts, and cheese wheel pasta! Everything was so good. The only one I wasn’t a fan of was the garlic knots. For my entree I had the Bolognese and that was very tasty! For drinks I tried the aperol spritz and it was yummy! Made me feel like I was back in Italy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and come back!

I love everything about this place- food is amazing, service is great as well.

Great vibes and decor, and a breakfast burger that makes you want to come back for more! Chilaquiles were a flop but the restaurant manager took care of me right away, and was very kind. The orange you glad zero proof drink needs the ratio tweaked between the syrup and the bubbly water. Too much syrup made for a diabolically sweet drink. Overall, the wait staff, atmosphere and the burger will have me coming back, I recommend!

We went there before going to the Balboa theater for a performance and appreciated the promptness of their service. The soup (oyster and also onion) were warm, delicious and so inviting on such a rainy night. My friend had the crab cake and I had the shrimp and mushroom appetizer and we both liked our choices. Great wine list also. Definitely plan on going back when we attend our next play. Staff were very warm, helpful and respectful of our time constraints.
