    Our experience was exceptional. We were treated with great care and kindness, and we were even given the VIP room to accommodate a change in our original reservation. I cannot say enough about the lovely people who work here, the exquisite food, and the wonderful dining experience we had. This is a new favorite for us in San Diego. Thank you.

    The Rooftop was a good experience overall due to the ambience and food, and thankfully, it was not noisy. Our party of seven guests enjoyed the Mother's Day celebration with good food and good conversation. Surprisingly, it was not busy, but it also made us wonder why it took forever to get our food. The venue is normally a nighttime hangout with bottle service, which explains why that crowd wasn't around for brunch. The view is wonderful! We also happened to check out the small rooftop pool area, which could possibly be quite an attraction during the middle of summer. However, when visited, the pool had cloudy water, which looked unattractive!
