First experience at this location. Usually dine in La Jolla. Consistently delicious seabass, filet, lobster, lobster bisque, mashed potatoes...my only complaints...forget the brussel sprouts..no flavor whatsoever..My issue is with poor etiquette, as the waitress abbruptly interrupted us four times asking to pack my food. My cutlery alone didn't show her I was done eating. Im a slow eater. Extremely rude and I felt rushed on my celebration. .The bananas foster was the best! Probably return to La Jolla Eddie V's after our server More

OpenTable Diner -
One of the last of the Old School restaurants where highly trained staff serve top notch foods including all the table-side classics that the modern establishments find too labor intensive. I enjoyed a beautiful obviously aged steak that was full of flavor and tender beyond belief. My partner enjoyed wild caught pink abalone- beautifully prepared- a special treat of an extremely rare dish. This is a place that everyone should experience- the wonderful world of Old World Service! More

The restaurant was great! It was open fresh air and good folks working there. I was in San Diego on a business trip and was joined by 3 locals from the site I was visiting. It was great connecting with them at Rustic Roots. We didn’t know the lay of the land so we reserved a space. We sat downstairs and people watched throughout our conversation. Next time we will definitely sit upstairs which was first come sitting arrangements. We enjoyed the food which was really really amazing! More

OpenTable Diner -
Love Roy's, Great seafood and I had the mix plate with four types of fish. Service was wonderful, attentive but not overbearing. The only disappointment was that the crab fried rice had bell peppers in it! They made a fresh one without the peppers but it came pretty much when the meal was done. They were very accommodating though. Roy's has also gotten away from much of their Hawaii roots in the menu, although the flavors are superb. More
OpenTable Diner -
I went here for a business dinner and all of us were blown away by not only the food, but the service. Garrett was our server and was very impressive. He made excellent food and wine recommendations (oyster sampler and Chilean sea bass were my 2 faves) and everything we ordered was excelled. I will definitely make it a point to come back next time I am in San Diego. More
OpenTable Diner -
I love the seasonal menu here. Always fresh, well thought out dishes. A few of us had dietary restrictions that were nicely dealt with with a simple substitution. They served amazing scallops, the salmon was incredible and my husband raves over their meatloaf. We will definitely be back. More

Came across this restaurant when I was looking for a place to have brunch with friends for my birthday. It was a great choice. All my friends loved the rooftop view. The menu options were great. I strongly recommend the chicken fried steak benedict. Food was delicious, service was great, and the server gave me a complimentary birthday cheesecake and tiramisu cake. More
OpenTable Diner -
The food at the restaurant was delicious, ambience great with good mood lighting. A suitable restaurant for date night, business meals, friends get together. It does tend to escalate in noise so it’s probably not the best place for quiet conversations. Overall I had a good night and would go there again. More

The occasion was a mother/daughter lunch on Mother’s Day, but restaurant suitable for a nice breakfast/brunch/lunch any day! Lovely pastries and crepes, sweet or savory. A nice place away from Gaslamp busyness. More

Went here for early Mother's Day brunch on Saturday. The "host" waved in the direction of the tables upon our arrival but wasn't interested in seating us. That was the only experience I would label as unpleasant at Currant. Otherwise, the server was pleasant and attentive, the food (and beverages) was DELICIOUS, and the mimosas were flowing. If you purchase bottomless mimosas they provide a large carafe of sparkling wine and then a completely separate glass of OJ so you can make your own mimosas. And they give you a large goblet, not a small flute that you have to constantly refill. They definitely keep the carafes coming! It was wonderful. My Mother truly enjoyed her experience and brunch. The area is VERY limited in street parking, so keep that in mind. More

Saturday is brunch, burgers were great! More
OpenTable Diner -
The Westgate Room is very elegant and comfortable. The service was outstanding. The food, however, left a bit to be desired. We found the menu somewhat limited. My wife ordered a steak medium rare and felt it was somewhat overcooked. Not badly enough that she sent it back but given the prices and the positioning as a top-notch restaurant we were surprised with such a mistake. More

Was excited to have some great Seafood while in San Diego, unfortunately the meal tasted only like well used cooking oil and no hint of the fish or shrimp on the plate. The bread was great, and my two coworkers steaks were great. The manager gave me a Cheesecake slice for my time. More
OpenTable Diner -
This little gem is tucked away in the heart of San Diego Gaslamp district. While I didn’t have the opportunity to ask, it appears the owners and staff are originally from Italy, giving the restaurant an authentic feel. The food was delicious and the wine/beer selections were great for pairing. More

I love the food here! Sad they stopped making the calamari dish, and unfortunately we were very disappointed that there were no vegan options for one of our friends. Atmosphere, service, food was great, wait time was very short, and overall experience was wonderful. Would definitely eat here again for a special occasion, though hopefully the next time we are back, there will be more vegetarian and vegan options. More

We had such a great experience our first time here for a theater event, we came back the following night just to enjoy the food a second time. The food is outstanding, and the service is wonderful! They pay close attention to gluten-free restrictions, and their gluten-free lobster bisque is enough to bring me back over and over. More
OpenTable Diner -
Great service great food!! More
OpenTable Diner -
We had no idea what to expect but ended up having a great time! Tucked away in a weird, half empty, Escher-esque shopping center, this place was packed! The comedians were funny, the beer was cold, and the shrimp quesadilla was yummy. There was still a cover charge, even if you were there for dinner but it was worth it. Support local comedy and businesses! More

LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SAN DIEGO’S GASLAMP DISTRICT, barleymash is the fun, high-energy downtown restaurant and bar that celebrates the richness of American culture through its appetizing and progressive bar fare. Both the restaurant philosophy and menu offerings draw heavily from two barroom staples: beer and bourbon. The name, in fact, refers to the typical grain mixture used in the brewing and distillation process of both beer and bourbon. What results from this pairing is a uniquely American dining experience and aesthetic that remind all patrons of two simple ideas: life is meant to be sipped and savored, and good times should always be sharedMore
The service was great. The computers went down which caused a little lapse in attention, but they more than made up for it by sending a free drink and explaining the situation. I would highly recommend to friends. More

Had a large group of about 30 people and the bartenders made it very easy for all of us to get drinks quickly, teaching us a bit about different Whiskey flavor profiles. The drinks were all great but the staff was even better! More
