Parkhouse Eatery is a casual, elegant neighborhood eatery snugly nestled into the house that once held the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store. The restaurant boasts three seating areas - the outdoor garden patio, the front living room and the cozy hearth room - each with its own casually romantic personality.

Discover University Heights

Enjoy casual dining and soak up some San Diego history in this neighborhood that is just a few miles off the coast. The community has embraced its historic character, and walking the streets is like going back in time to the early 1900s. Local restaurants offer a decidedly Mexican coastal flavor with dishes like lobster enchilada, fish tacos, and scallop burrito tacos. Even establishments that specialize in Italian foods will have at least one burrito on the menu. There are more formal restaurants in University Heights, but the smaller, owner-operated eateries really fit in with the atmosphere of this old-fashioned neighborhood.
