    I just moved to San Diego and this was a first for me. The ambiance is impeccable. Everything from the music to the food and drinks was incredible. Our bartender was very attentive and provided us with a list of places to visit while in town. If you’re ever in San Diego, this is a MUST visit place. I’ll be back!

    Great cocktail menu, but not inexpensive. Tapas are excellent, but not a lot of choices. Go here for the drinks and a light bite.

    Hello Bob, thank you for the review! We are pleased you enjoyed the small bite options. We’d love to see you again soon.

    We really enjoyed our time at Roma Norte. The drinks are extremely complex and well-crafted, not to mention delicious. The food was also spectacular, though some reviews make it clear folks don't realize it's just light bites, nibbles... but really amazing nibbles. They are pricey and the sizes are quite small, but it's definitely delicious. The shrimp cocktail and the tuna tostada were highlights. Their signature cocktails are on the pretty high end, but knowing what goes into them, it doesn't surprise me and it was 100% worth it. Their other "classic cocktails" (espresso martini, old fashioned, etc.) are comparable with other upscale bars in the area. I'd definitely go back and recommend it especially for a date night. The atmosphere is cozy and we loved the banquette seating along the walls. 10/10!

    Thank you for your wonderful review Joelle! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time at Roma Norte. We take pride in creating complex and well-crafted drinks, and we're glad you found them delicious. We're also glad to know that our small bites hit the spot! Your kind words are greatly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    Truly good drinks, but oddly inattentive service and a huge open door that made for a cold evening inside.
