    The table we were seated at was a little cramped because we were stuck in a corner. There were times that the servers were gone for too long and other times they came very frequently and interrupted our conversations. The lobster was over cooked and had some strange looking large blackish grey blemish in the meat. The steaks, prawns and brussel sprouts were very good. The bread with the various butters was good and the oysters were nice as well. The DJ was a nice addition but the music was so loud it was hard to communicate with the servers and my partner. I don’t think I would go back. Almost a great experience but just a good experience really. There are places in SD that are better and cost less.

    We live in downtown San Diego and Provisional is our go-to place for breakfast/brunch. The service is always wonderful and the food is fresh, interesting, and delicious. My fave is the Breakfast Sandwich and a plate of fruit.
