    The best ever restaurant in San Diego! The Chef should have one star Michelin! Everything was perfect, the food, the atmosphere and the service. Thank you for welcoming us so nicely.

    Made a reservation here for my birthday! Had excellent experience. Food was amazing. Great flavors and textures. Simple but nice plating. Loved the additional touches they added to make the experience really special!

    Simply the best! Highly recommended. My husband and I didn’t have a reservation for our anniversary dinner, but we were lucky enough to get counter seating at the pastry prep station as walk-ins. The food was incredible, but even more impressive was the impeccable service. The pastry chefs educated us on their plates as well as their recommended mains and our waiter Carlos was truly exceptional! Will definitely be back the next time we visit SD!

    My best friend and I decided to celebrate my birthday at this delightful spot, and oh, what a wonderful experience it was! The ambiance is just lovely, setting the perfect mood for our celebration. To kick things off, we enjoyed two adorable tiny deviled eggs that were simply delicious! Then I savored the Inihaw pork belly—so tender and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we had the Whole Rose Snapper Fish (I can't believe I forgot to snap a picture! ). We truly enjoyed every bite of our meal. What really made our evening special was our amazing and friendly server, Lauren. She was fantastic and so accommodating, which truly enhanced our experience. We loved interacting with her! Huge shout out to Lauren for a job well done!

    Outstanding experience from start to finish. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The staff—Sasha in particular—really stood out: friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and took the time to walk us through the options. Can’t wait to come back!

    Great spot. Very good food. Inventive, high quality, and great taste. Fast and accommodating service. Cool, low-key vibes. We would come back!

    Fantastic restaurant. Innovative cuisine and impeccable service. I had the linguine de mare, which was delicious. I give rarely a 5 x 5 review but this was one of them. Food prices were reasonable..but wine is expensive. Look for the inexpensive but good wines.

    It gets expensive here but it was packed on a Wednesday evening during the conference. Food was GOOD with some highlights, service was fine as well. I would say I’d come here again on a special occasion. Last comment would be that they had a great duck for the Lunar New Year and I love it when restaurants have something special like this!
