Price: Moderate
• Californian • Downtown
Booked 13 times today
Dobson's Bar and Restaurant is a hidden treasure in the heart of Downtown San Diego/Gaslamp Quarter. For the last 40 years, this has been the hot spot for business lunches and frequented by many local and nationwide celebrities. Paul Dobson, the namesake for Dobson's bar and restaurant, is one of America's few professional Bullfighters. The food is California cuisine with a touch of Italian, French, Spanish and Asian cuisine. One thing that both local San Diegans and Zagat can agree on is that this is one of the top restaurants in San Diego. Due to the limited seating and popularity, reservations are highly recommended. Owner Paul Dobson "works a room better than Sinatra", which explains why this "local tradition" downtown remains, "after all these years", a "high-powered, hobnob spot"; the Cal kitchen "serves up delicious, innovative food, along with old standbys" ("have the mussel bisque and think of heaven").

    I'm not one to be overly effusive in my review of restaurants, but Mimoza was surprising good on many fronts. Chosen for its proximity to the Balboa Theatre, we ordered the combination grilled platter, which was very generous in the number of meats included. The hot pita bread was a great accompaniment to the house made baba ghanoush. What stood out most was the attentive and kind service provided by the servers. We will definitely be going back again when we next visit the Balboa for a show.

    Great place - food was excellent as was the service. Good wine selection, menu selections. Had a business meeting for 16 and, along with another group of similar size at the same time, it was a little loud at times but I would do it again.

    The location was incredibly beautiful with seats so comfortable you just don't want to leave. Our waitress "Brea" was excellent, she made some delicious and refreshing beverage suggestions to help start our Birthday celebration! We were treated like "family" and showered with kindness. The portions are welcoming enough to share and a great way to sample everything on the menu hehe. Then entire staff greeted us with a friendly and kind smile. This is incredibly important! The delicious food brought us here ~ but the unforgettable experience is what we carry away and share with others! Thank you to everyone who filled my brother's day with so many precious moments....... We will definitely be back,
