"Our table didn't get as good of service as others around us (we didn't get bread/water right away, nor did we get information about the restaurant) presumably because I'm under 21 and can't order $80 worth of wine. Regardless, I had to come here two days in a row because I fell in love with the beet salad! Lunchtime pain is are delicious and served with home cooked chips while the dinner pastas are both rich and light and feel as fresh as the herb garden at every window. The design is incredibly unique and charming; it's a fun place to be!"

"Service was excellent! Hostesses were accomodating and friendly! Food was delicious! Variety was fun! More details on location: this one is larger with fewer wall barriers so the noise travels and accumulates more easily. Although it didn't feel too crowded with tables (in the room along the windows), aesthetically it looked to crowded, and some kind of divide would be a plus for the eye. I also arrived early (645pm) when most tables were empty, so that could have been why it was so noticeable. In a more populated hours, I'd say imagine Searsucker, BUT not on steroids, and without the overflowing bar scene (I see Prepkitchen's differences as a good thing.)"

"We were late for our reservation and the hostess was amazingly helpful and friendly and able to accommodate our tardiness. This was a wonderful start to our dinner.

The restaurant was delicious. We got there with just a couple of minutes left on happy hour and got a carafe of delicious mango sangria. The food was amazing as well and super fresh. You could tell that it was farm fresh, just like they said."

"The whole entire experience was horrific from start to finish. The waitress, the food, the management all left something to be desired. Will not be coming back, nor will we be recommending this place to anybody we know. With as many wonderful restaurants as there are in San Diego, don't waste your time coming here."

"The space was among the most fun, high-energy spots in San Diego and looks amazing. The food was fine,mthough nothing all that special -- all,of our meals were very salty. Don't worry about all the comments about noise -- had no problems. If you don't like a lively crowd, though, this is not your place. Great bar, choice of beers on tap. Service was amazing with someone attending to us every few minutes - though not in an obtrusive way. Great addition to San Diego. I'll be going back!"

"Food was good. I had been there a few times prior and this was my least favorite experience. Alot of it had to do with our server. He just came across "too cool for school." I asked for a cocktail that i ordered to be on the rocks instead of up & he gave me a disapproving look and said,"Our mixologists would prefer not to, but I can ask to see if they will make this a special request." He also described my friend's cocktail wish & when my friend asked for a different bourbon to be used he told us "No, we don't alter our drinks." Throughout the entire dining experience, I felt like our server had a bit of a snobby attitude. Instead of the great food/beverages - his attitude is what I'll remember. What ever happened to customer service?"

"Good shrimp bisque and flatbread appetizers gave way to rubbery chicken and squishy halibut. Service was indifferent and sloppy. After 40 minute wait for entrees, server seemed intent on clearing table. Peanut butter cookies and gooey brownies for desert - juvenile comfort food at best. Not recommended."
