Our reservation was at 545pm, but couldn’t get seated for almost 30 minutes later. Other patrons were occupying our table but the staff updated us often and were very apologetic. We had a big party so I figured seating will also be an issue so we came prepared for some delays. Once we got seated though it was a non stop amazing experience. Food was brought out fast, EVERYTHING was amazing, the buffet items were great, and the staff were quick to refill our drinks and check on us. They came out and sang and gave dessert to my son for his birthday. Overall, loved it. Will be going back, just wished they had a valet out front for my lazy self.

The idea is a fusion of sorts: the laid-back California lifestyle that makes San Diego so unique, mixed with a cozy pub convivial atmosphere where you can meet friends (or mates) for a pint after work, set up a client lunch with fresh oysters on the menu or have a cozy family dinner over a Sunday roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes.
The effortless vibe of casual yet stylish makes for the perfect place to celebrate the joy of the unexpected coming together to make the perfect culinary match.

The tables seem pretty small for their size plates but the food was great. Went here to host a team luncheon and it was fine. We had to ask for the music to be turned down a little bit so that we can hear each other and there was only 7 of us. Great location and parking could be a little tricky so get there earlier to find parking close by.

My passion is creativity and inspiration and asking what’s next, while honoring all that has come before me. Tradition and innovation work together to drive thoughtful evolution to pave the way forward. I bring the best of myself in every dish.
Vincent’s has meant so much to me over these last 17 years, but it's important to evolve and stay ahead of the curve. The team and I are excited for this next chapter and we know our loyal guests will love the new experience we have planned.

This place was delightful. The food was incredible. Service was a little slow but the food made it worth it. They left the door open on a cool night so it was a little bit too chilly which kind of hurt the ambience. The owner was a really neat lady. And for us food is the ultimate decider.

The food is fresh, delicious, and very well priced for the portion and quality. My family and I usually order takeout and enjoy it at the beach nearby. The food is perfectly suited for a casual picnic. As it was rainy winter’s day, we dined in. The macadamia crusted fish is always a hit. I highly recommend it as well as the rib and chicken plate. Ask your server for off the menu specials in case you’re looking for something different from the usual menu. The quality and freshness of the mac/nut fish is on par and surpasses some of the more upscale, expensive, 5 star restaurants in San Diego. Their appetizers are also delightful, like the coconut shrimp. The servers and front of house staff are kind and attentive; and make great recommendations. Our server was very kind to offer a complimentary dessert as a couple in our party was celebrate their wedding anniversary. This is great place to dine in the village with family and out of town guests. The patio offers a lovely view of the beach and coastline. Overall, a wonderful experience as always.

About the restaurant
Dobson's Bar and Restaurant is a hidden treasure in the heart of Downtown San Diego/Gaslamp Quarter. For the last 37 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").

We went for pizza, and we were not disappointed. We added Italian sausage to the Margarita pizza, and it was great! We will definitely be back.

Puesto Headquarters never disappoints. This location is better than the La Jolla one. We had a pitcher of spicy margaritas and they were amazing! Perfect taste. Our server was really funny and entertaining. The surf and turf taco is always my favorite. The sauce is spectacular and so flavorful. One is enough because it is huge. The rice and beans are made to perfection and the chips and salsa are the best. We will return again and again.

The service was excellent. Sometimes there was a bit of a long wait in between courses but we were ok with that because in previous years at other restaurants it was more of an assembly line of courses and the meals seemed rushed and the food was sloppy and sometimes cold. The food was excellent and hot, which was a plus. We were able to swap some things we didn’t like for other sides which was amazing because usually that’s not allowed for pre fix menus. The only complaint (which is very minor) was that the decor was not seasonally decorative very much. It was just your regular steakhouse atmosphere. Still a very delicious meal.
