Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Tierrasanta

Very nice restaurant delicious food, and great servers.

We were only in San Diego for 24 hours, and Animae was the perfect foodie destination for our short trip. Chef Tara’s menu masterfully stays true to Filipino flavors while elevating them in a way that feels both nostalgic and exciting. Every dish was beautifully executed, and the balance of flavors was impeccable. Our server, Chenise, made the experience even more memorable. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. She kept the pacing and coursing of our meal just right, ensuring we could fully enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. The cocktails were another highlight - both inventive and perfectly balanced. Each drink complemented the food beautifully, and we could absolutely see ourselves coming back just to sit at the bar and work our way through the cocktail menu. From start to finish, Animae delivered on every level—food, service, and ambiance. If you’re looking for a truly special dining experience in San Diego, this is it. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Amazing meal, start to finish. Each course was perfectly executed.

insideOUT was such a cool and fun experience! I would love to stay in the “oasis” part of the restaurant next time instead of at a standard table, but regardless the ambience was wonderful and the food was even better! So cute and lively for a fun brunch vibe and service was also amazing.

I made a reservation completely last minute cancelling my daughters bday party at one location due to not a lot of people rsvping so D&B was perfect for a bunch of kids and parents. It was pretty busy I’m so glad I made our reservation. Xavier was our server and he went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken take of we had 19 people in our party I also communicated with him a couple will be coming in late and he had no problem with that we got everything ordered in a timely manner. Food came out at different times but that was not our servers fault whatsoever he even apologized if anything I could recommend is that all food be brought out at the same time but again it was a super busy night the kids wanted to play more than eat which was great overall. I would definitely love to come back and have Xavier be our server again he is the best and definitely would love to come back to D&B we don’t come here often now we will definitely make it a priority even our guests want to come back great job ☺️
