About last night….enjoying our first evening in San Diego…Daryll, Anthony, Terria, and myself went to an awesome restaurant called JRDN. During our dining a couple was celebrating their newly engagement and we all celebrated them including a table of young people next to us. Of course, Anthony jokingly said that he was married too!! Everyone laughed😂. Later, one of the young men found out that Daryll and I have been married for 39 years. He was totally shocked. Later, he and his party left and we all shook hands - so great to meet good people! We ate an AWESOME meal and AWESOME service!!!Well at the end of our dinner, the waiter brought our check…it said $0. The guy paid our total bill which was over $200!!! The entire staff smiled and said the guy was not a regular! They couldn’t wait to see our faces! They said that he told them any couple married 39 years is to be celebrated!!! We were in TOTAL SHOCK! All we know is that his name is Nick !!! Wow!!! God blesses people to be a blessing!!! Pay it forward!!!! 🙏🏽❤️❤️

The service was terrible. Our waiter never checked on us and was rude. He wasn’t even able to come back to the table and a fellow coworker had to check us out. It was extremely loud. If you’re looking for a young, rowdy atmosphere and mediocre food, you e come to the right place. The only awesome part is the view!

Great experience overall. Wish they had more outdoor heaters for the outdoor tables in the back. Our server Williams was so kind and attentive. Will be going back soon.

We were a party of 8, and every meal we ordered was delicious. The service and the atmosphere was excellent. The location and view is amazing, and having validated parking is a plus. Highly recommended.

The filet mignon was delicious, as was the brussels sprouts and smoky mashed potatoes. Enjoyed sitting outside and a heater was by us to keep us warm. We were kind of thrown off by the gigantic TV. But there are other places to sit so you don’t see it. Our server was not that attentive, our food came and we patiently waited for her to come by so we could get a glass of wine. She seemed to hang out a lot at a table of around eight people close to the bar. She was very nice when she did come by. We definitely would eat here again.

We reserved a regular table but when we checked in we were brought to a hi- top in the bar where it was outrageously noisy ( not your description of “ energetic”). I told the hostess that sitting at a high top gives me leg cramps- but she refused to give us a different table. There was also a problem with the sun- one of our guests can’t sit in the sun, and even though I saw roller shades in the bar area, the hostess insisted that either there were no blinds in the restaurant area, or they couldn’t be pulled down to protect a guest from the sun. This lack of CARE for their dinner guests needs was unbelievably callous. The waitress was very nice, pleasant, and helpful, but even she noticed that two people at a nearby table, who were obviously drunk, were screaming at the top of their lungs to their friend ( who had a normal volume voice and was not drunk)- and this was physically painful to listen to. The food was good, if expensive, but the entire experience was ruined from the beginning to their friend end due to the hi- top, the sun, and the noise- not an enjoyable leisurely dinner ( like we had here before). Very disappointing.
