Greystone Prime Steakhouse & Seafood

Alejandro was one of the best servers we have ever had. Amazing dinner and service.

Excellent!

I will never return. Waiter recommended us food out of menu. We spent 426$ for 3 steaks and 3 drinks.

Excellent food, very long waiting time, but they apologized amd gave us a drink on the house. Very enthusiastic waiter.

IF YOU ARE A FOODIE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS PLACE!

Very disappointing. Im a big foodie.. and spending 200$ for two - I expected to have an acceptional experience with the food. Boy.. I was wrong.

My friend and I both ordered the 20 oz aged rib eye. No sides came with it.. sides were sold separately. We decided to get a "loaded" potato (12$) to compliment our steaks.

Our food arrived.. and the potato wasn't even "loaded" it was a baked potato, cut in half and a tiny cup on the side with a little bit of sour cream, sprinkle of cheese, and not even half of a bacon strip cut up. When I saw it.. I laughed.. that I was paying 12$ for that.

The steak isnt anything you are missing out. It says "fine cut" but the way they cook it make it taste like a grocery store steak. It was cooked unevenly. I ordered Medium. Some parts were well done, but even the juicy parts.. weren't like the expensive melt in your mouth kind of meat.. it was still very chewy.

Overall, the experience was unsatisfactory. Not worth 200$ for two, tastes like a 50$ dinner for two.

Showed up here for a pre-show dinner dressed nice. I ordered the LOBSTER BUCCATINI DIAVOLO and perhaps this was my mistake. It arrived with the meat in the lobster shell and half a lobster shell sitting in a bowl that was already crowded. While the food tasted good the presentation was less than appealing. Even more problematic was being nicely dressed only to then have to fight with my food to remove meat from shells, tails from shrimp, etc... (in the end I ended up with three sauce drops on my shirt). In addition, a number of the clams and mussels on my plate had not even opened during the cooking process.

As for service, it took several minutes to even get a server to take our drink order. Then to place our dinner order I had to actually wave the server down. Once our drinks arrived and our meal order was taken we never saw that server again. Another server (but not a server, I believe a manager) eventually stopped by to ask if we wanted drink refills, I requested one and never received it or spoke to that individual again (thankfully it was not on the bill). By the end of the night, we had 3 different servers or service staff members, not because we asked.

The ambiance was great, the location great, and I had such high hopes but ultimately the restaurant failed to deliver.

Food and service were phenomenal. It was particularly noisy upstairs so it was a little difficult to hear each other. But the food and our attentive server more than made up for it.

The servers were friendly, but only recommended expensive ones.
Good food, though expensive ofc.

Despite good food, I do not recommend this restaurant to others because the restaurant was toooooooo suuuuuuppppeeerrrr noisy :( We could't hear each other well. :(

Fantastic menu; the Elk chop is amazing as is the bison tenderloin. Everything I've had here is well worth the money. Perfectly prepared, which certainly explains how this restaurant has thrived for over two decades in the Gas Lamp district.

Wonderful meal but unfortunately they didn’t check me in correctly for my Open Table points

Great food

Excellent server!

Made reservation weeks in advance stating it’s our anniversary and ask for a nice table to have a romantic meal. Checked in early and told it would be a few minutes. Sat down near reception in view of hostess, where we were forgot for the next 30 minutes. We asked if we were to be seated soon as she was obviously taking walk ins and later reservations now ahead of us. You could tell she forgot about us and then came back a couple minutes later saying our table was ready.

We were taken ten feet from where we were in bar to a bar table in middle of crowd and not even in dining room. I asked really we made reservations you forgot us and want to stick us here! No! She then asked all the people waiting around us if they wanted the table and no one took it. There is no way anyone would want a meal there. I get cocktails but not a $200 meal.

A few minutes later they came and got us and took us upstairs. I thought good we are going into dining room. There are great tables on left for a wonderful anniversary dinner, but they had people at them and two were seated in them after our arrival. The crazy guy that was helping the forgetful hostess show us a table that is 8” from the top of stairs. It’s literally squished up against the hand railings. It’s so uncomfortable as you have to squish into chair as table is right on you and unless your less than 110 lbs you’re not going to be comfortable. So far the opposite of a nice romantic dinner. The staff runs up and down the stairs every minute or two and every guest has to enter here, so they knock the back of the chair at last step.

Food was good, but the experience and service go beyond the worst I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant in this price range. They completely ruined our anniversary dinner that was planned for weeks prior to our weekend getaway in San Diego.

There are many great steakhouses in Gaslamp district, we will be choosing and referring everyone to those.

Truly disappointing!!!

Food and service were fantastic. Took over an hour for our food to come though on a Saturday night. Regardless I would overall would recommend.

Drinks and service was outstanding. I had the steak and the top layer was burnt; which at the end didn’t find it worth the cost ($89).

One of the best steaks I’ve had at a restaurant (and I’m from Texas)! Great wine selection, too.

Excellent meat and cooking. We where 12 for a business diner in the privacy cellar room so much les noisy !
The wines boss gives you good advices if needed and they have a pretty vast choice of wines from Europe and US ! Defenitively a good place !

The steaks were very good. They weren't the best steaks we have ever had, but very good. Wait staff was excellent. Caesar salads were very good--the brussels sprouts were sort of a weird addition.

This place had exceptional service not only from our waiter, but management as well. The food was amazing and they made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and will definitely return in future! Loved it!

Unfortunately, my review is based on the actions of 1 specific employee and whoever set the table. We were sat at a table with lipstick on the water glasses and the waiter was rude...and I do not mean a little rude. We were shocked.

First glance of the menu it seemed pricey for the food we saw being served. But, cannot really speak to the food quality because after the waiter was rude, we left. We decided to dine at the restaurant next door and that restaurant was quite good.

My wife and I were visiting and tried it out. We were very pleased with the service. We did find the shared waiter odd. We started with one waiter who left to wait on other tables while we had a different waiter. Both waiters were very good. The entire meal, from appetizer to dessert. I deficit recommend it.

Nice place in Gaslamp district. Good red meat options but all pricey. Bison and elk were nice choices as well.

Disorganized , and every menu item ordered was missing a component of the dish , or cooked incorrectly . Waited a long time for a server , the bartender was the first to come to our table . It was restaurant week , however this menu was not presented to us . Bread was not offered however it was given to other diners. I ordered off the restaurant week menu , which was given to us once asked. Brussel Cesar salad , but missing the Brussels . Lobster bucatini pasta.. was missing the mussels and clams described in the menu . My date ordered the same salad his as well missing Brussels , he ordered off the regular menu .. and his steak was not prepared as requested . The waiter made a point to say we will make sure it’s really rare for you .. the next steak that came out was again not rare prepared but blue .. still cold . This was brought to the attention of the waiter again.. the front of the house came over and did apologize and offer something else but at this point nothing was desired from the kitchen . When your spending $80 on a steak it should be cooked to how you wish . Not much attention was paid to how all the menu items were missing something from their menu description . Would not go back.

Amazing food and drinks, phenomenal service by Lars and they went all out for my fiance’s Birthday! It was our first time there and we will most definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Restaurant week. Food was fabulous! Our waiter Lars was fantastic so nice,helpful and just great!

Honestly the very best meal I have had in a long time. We chose from the "Restaurant Week" prix fixe menu which started with a lovely pear salad, followed by bison and ending with gluten free chocolate cake. The bison was the most outstanding dish I have enjoyed in recent memory and the chocolate cake is to die for! One of my group had the salmon which was apparently amazing. She has Celiac's and was able to order from the prix fixe menu and eat GF options with each course, which is unusual for her. The only downside was that we had to wait about 45 minutes to be served and we had to make a show at the Civic Theater. But all in all, the food was fantastic and I will definitely go there again when I have more time to enjoy it.

Great place for dinner in Gaslamp Quarter. Consistently good. Have been several times over years and have never been disappointed.

I have had many good experiences at Greystone but this was the worst one. It was way too loud and the service was lousy. They forgot a couple of salads and were slow to bring out our food. If this had been my first experience I wouldn't go back. Will try again because of past experiences.

Reservation was for 8 pm. Restaurant phoned to push reservation back by 30 mins. Understandable request. Upon arrival at 8:30 they told us they were overbooked still. As of 9 pm we were still not seated. I will never go back to an establishment with such disregard for the reservation process.

The food is phenomenal! However, the service was a bit off. We made a reservation for 8pm and didn’t get seated until about 8:30pm. They gave us a card for our troubles that would allow us to get a free app but once we sat down they told us we could only choose between two things or just take $5 off of a different one. We decided to do that but when the check came, they still charged us the same price.

Had a reservation for 7:30 but did not get seated until 8:20. Food and drinks were very pricey but delicious. Service was ok, we had multiple servers so we did feel a personal connection with any one hi came to our table. We were on vacation and had just got engaged a couple nights before and had put that on the special notes section of our reservation but none of the servers or hostess mentioned it during our visit.

Food was amazing. Our server was super nice! He made us feel welcomed. Only issue was our reservation time was for 7:15, but we didn’t get seated till 7:50.

Even though we had a reservation, getting seated was a nightmare. Even after we were seated and ordered, the hostess came up to us and asked if we wouldn't mind moving tables because another customer wanted our table. We refused. The one person who ordered steak sent it back because it was horrible. The replacement was not much better. Worst dining experience in San diego

Great place. Wagyu beef is the way to go. It's worth the money. They have great selections. Will definitely be coming back.

We were in San Diego celebrating my boyfriend's birthday. The reservation time was set for 7:30 pm. Our wait was longer than expected, however we got great service at the bar. After the bartenders noticing our expected wait was longer than expected, they comped us champagne. When we finally got seated 9:00, we were surprised to see the ambiance was very inviting in the dining area. Rose petals were nicely complementing the table. Our waiter arrived shortly to let us know the specials of the day. We ordered pretty quickly, since we had already seen the menu. Our food arrived in a timely manner. It was definitely worth the wait. The flavor of the aged steak and the rosemary chicken was a hit! We ended the night with a chocolate mousse birthday cake- amazing! We 100% recommend this fine steakhouse!

It was awesome

If you're in San Diego, you HAVE to visit this incredible steakhouse. The food is amazing and the service is second to none! The portobello appy is to die for!!!!

been there before. $$ but worth it. Steak is the main deal for going.

Our waiter was very nice and professional. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere delightful. Highly recommend!

Food was amazing..service was incredible..very friendly staff...get place to get wagyu beef...Abit expensive but if u r looking to splurge then this is your olace
