The Kettle Room

Excellent, will absolutely go back!

Everything about our dining experience was perfect. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable and the waiter were outstanding. We got the beer pairings with our fixe menu and they were excellent selections. They were beers I would have never tried on my own and so glad to have had them.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've had. Great service, delicious food and reasonable pricing. Definitely worth a visit!

Second time here with my wife and we had another great dinner and drinks! We absolutely love the artwork and atmosphere here. We look forward to our next visit; thank you!

Beautiful setting with great food. The device Brett provided was outstanding and so was the food and beer pairings.

They changed the menu from a choose your own to a set menu. Service was slow even though there were only 11 people in for the night. 2.5 hour dinner

No selection. Very small portions and value was not there for price.

Up there with my Top 10 ever dining experiences. The food is unique and superb. It’s a set menu so you don’t choose so much as eliminate things you may be allergic to. A little pricey, but you feel like you get your money's worth. With the he beer pairing option we tried a lot of beers. I didn’t realize they could be so varied. A good chance to try things you may not have otherwise.

It was a great place to have our anniversary, the server brought us complimentary prosecco, explained each course l, questioned us on the pairings. Overall was a exceptional night out!

A unique experience. We will definitely be back.

We had an awesome experience, even for two people that don’t really like beer. Service was great, the beers were good, and the food was excellent, especially the bread pudding. A great ambiance to catch up with friends.

Epic
Went for bachelor party

Amazing service. Kellen rocks! Cool, intimate ambiance. Nice presentation of the food, but the flavors just weren’t there for me.

Again an amazing culinary and beer pairing experience! This was our second visit to the Kettle Room and we were blown away by the amazing service and food! We loved the Red Wine Barrel Aged Imperial Stout so much we took two growlers home with us! Thanks again for a great night and we’ll see you next year!

We were in San Diego from North Dakota for a conference. We love Ballast Point Beer and knew we were going somewhere to experience their brewing. We were sooo lucky when we ended up choosing The Kettle Room! The food was so fun and amazing!! The beer pairings were on point! And there's no way to say enough about the service. It made the whole experience worth while. We really loved it!! And if we thought we were Ballast Point fans before... I'm not sure how over the top we are now!!

Very small portions served by very friendly staff in a large cold room with a mural

Beer pairs went perfectly with the dinner menu!

Great waiter!

Fantastic food, service and ambiance! If you’re on the fence just book it!

The Kettle Room was wonderful! The food was delicious and the drinks were equally amazing. Our server was kind to switch out my beer because I was not quite a big fan of the tartness at no extra cost! The pairings with the meal were tasteful and well-thought out. The only downfall was that there was a large drunk group that the servers mostly focused on since they broke glasses and were boisterous, thus our servers were not as attentive as they could have been. They did a wonderful job explaining the menu and doing their best managing. Hope to come back here again!

The Kettle room a great place to have a special occasion meal. Their staff made the food and beer pairing a very unique dinning experience. My fiancee and I had our first date at the little Italy Ballest Point Location, It was nice going back 4 years later to celebrate a really special Valentines Day dinner to remember. Our favorite pairing was defiantly the Victory At Sea aged in red wine barrels pared with a peanut butter gelato and Victory At Sea bread pudding.

Best experience! Intimate dining with the most incredible and welcoming staff. Thank you for such a great dinner! Nicole was the best thank you so much!!!

Great Experience!

Everything in this restaurant is amazing, starting with the service which is phenomenal, so attentive and thoughtful they go all the way to accommodate and make sure you have a great time. They explain to you each of the courses and ask if you have any questions or comments.

The ambience is excellent, a bit romantic, intimate, exuberant and humble at the same time, you'll love it.

The food was amazing everything was great and cooked to perfection, it included a bit of everything and the portions were just right, we were worried that it would not suffice or that it be to little for the money but it was just perfect; The beer was absolutely fabulous, it included new and limited releases and hard to find variants of others.

All in all an excellent choice whether you're celebrating something, in the mood for some gourmet experimental cuisine or just want a romantic, out of the ordinary date.

Cheers!

I highly recommend - we were looking for a dinner place while at a work conference and wanted to have a nice meal. It was four courses of deliciousness that could either be paired with beer selections or not. The option to pair or not was really nice for those that aren't beer drinkers. The only thing I will caution is that this is a tasting menu and I don't believe there is flexibility in the selections (we didn't ask because there were no issues with the 5 of us that were dining). The room is really cool, too. Only 4 tables (I believe each accommodate 6) with plenty of space and a perfect volume (so we weren't screaming to talk with each other).

What a treat! Great friendly service in a warm setting. Food and pairings were delicious and made for a special night out.

A delicious surprise of unexpected food paired with exotic beers. Don´t miss it!

The food was awesome! The service was awesome! And the atmosphere was awesome! I would recommend The Kettle Room to everyone! Totally worth every penny!!

The overall cost was reasonable for a four course menu but the food as a whole was nothing special. My girlfriend's steak was overcooked after she asked for chicago/blue rare.

Absolutely incredible. Tasted so many new flavors. Beautiful presentation. Such a special experience.

One of the most amazing meals I have had. Our group did not know what to expect and were blown away by the dishes and the beers paired with each one. I appreciate the prix fixe menu but that you could order individual dishes as well instead of doing all four courses. The waitress was very knowledgable and friendly. The chef was just outstanding. This is serious fine dining!

Another great meal at the kettle room. This place is a hidden treasure. The food was amazing and the service was superb. Can’t wait for our next visit.

It was an amazing meal and atmosphere. We had the charred octopus , scallops and waygu steak. Everything was delicious. The beer was great. But the service was beyond anything I have ever had. Melly and Jess were the best . They went out of their way to give suggestions and allowed tastings of beers . We even went home with a 4 case and souvenir glasses.

Food was very tasty. The Spanish seared octopus was amazing and the bread pudding was super!

We were first guests with 6:15 reservation, Sat. night.
Only 6 more people seated over next 2 hours....so, not crowded & very relaxing!
I was not expecting such good food in a brewery!
Server attentive, and beer pairings well matched!
I will definitely recommend Kettle Room to friends!

We were visiting San Diego and spent one of our evenings at The Kettle Room. The service was fantastic, our waitress worked with us to make sure we would enjoy our beer pairings (giving us a sample of a few we thought we wouldn't like as much and replacing one with her next best suggested pairing). The food was also fantastic! We had set the bar high but everything was above and beyond. My boyfriend and I shared the fixed menu (plus two dished a la carte) and beer pairing, and with each course having an 8oz pour, it was definitely enough. Can't recommend this place enough!

What an EXPERIENCE!!!! Hands down the best place to eat in San Diego.

Walked into the restaurant (group of 5 business people) and we were taken to the back, past the large kettles used for brewing beer, and walked into a somewhat small, private room that had about 4 long tables.

I like to work in bullet points so here it goes:

1)You need to make reservations.
2)They serve a 4-course meal, and you get to pick from one of two options for each course.
3)You are separated from the main bar, so you can have a conversation without having to yell.
4)The beer pairings are really well thought out, and are delicious.
5)The wait staff was extremely attentive.
6)The meal portions are small, but they extremely well crafted.
7)You are not felt rushed and the timing of each dish was about 30 min per course.

Overall it was an outstanding experience and I will return in the future.

Great experience, great food and great beer pairings. Highly recommend.

This is a very different dining experience. The menu is very very limited. The menu items, however, we’re very tasty. They use exceptionally ingredients. The service was over the top stellar! The beers that they paired with the entrées were exceptional.

Prix Fixe menu and beer pairings were delicious. Excellent service.

Loved every moment:). Delicious food. Wonderful service. Can’t wait for our next time:)
