- PpetehSan Diego •1 review4.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023On the whole, our dining experience was good, but not at the same level that we have long been used to. Specifically, the soup of the day, lobster bisque, was at best questionable. It tasted more like butternut squash than lobster.More infoAu RevoirPrice: Moderate• French• Hillcrest•4.7
