    What can I say? This is easily one of the best happy hour spots in San Diego! The ambiance is stunning, the service is outstanding, and the food is absolutely incredible. We had yet another fantastic experience here, this time for an early dinner to celebrate my kid’s birthday. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the Japanese sweet potatoes are a must-try, the fish and chips were amazing—so fresh and moist—and the clam chowder was perfection. The smoked trout dip wasn’t my favorite this time, but it was still a solid appetizer. Our server, Mike, was exceptional—attentive, polite, and spot-on with his food recommendations. We’ll definitely be back, and if you’ve never been to this place, make a reservation now. You can thank me later!

    Food is insanely delicious, service is excellent, and the ambience is lovely. Went to dinner with a few friends and we were able to share a bunch of dishes. Everything was amazing. It’s about a 30 minute drive for us but well worth it. We had the bruschetta (so yummy and full of garlic), the seafood stuffed mushrooms (to die for), and the Caesar salad, which was the best Caesar I’ve ever had. We ordered a bunch of pasta dishes and the fish special (amazing) which were also super tasty. I HIGHLY recommend it! Oh and the cookie dessert is incredible too.
