“I went for the first time lastnight and the location is amazing. It is first come first serve and you can sit yourself once you arrive. You then order what you want to eat and drink at the bar.
We ended up sitting right at the edge and closest to the view which is the best seating there I think. Also the staff was very, very friendly.
Reason why I gave it 4 starts is because of the food. I ordered the chicken strips with fries and they were definitely over cooked, very hard and dry and the fries had a spiciness which was odd. A little disappointed but with everything else being great, I still plan on going again.“

“Second time in my first week n gotta say very impressed. Had the 1/2 turkey sandwich n soup was spot on. Juicy moist bird, fresh bread, n killer lentil soup 👍 went back today for my Thanksgiving dinner for Thursday house sitting. Can’t wait to eat, Yum!!!☺️“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“Ther interior is beautifully designed. Great spot for date night. I had the filet mignon with salad and soup. Perfect portion and tasted great. Only complaint is the size of the restrooms inside the restaurant. For as many people that can be hosted at this location, there was a wait for the restroom. Outside of that, beautifully designed, staff is amazing and food is excellent. Highly recommend recommended.“

“The food is as good as it looks! I couldn’t believe it when my parents asked me if I wanted to go to a Revolutionary War tavern replica & museum near the beach in northern San Diego. Like, huh? But the building reminded me of growing up on the east coast, and the museum reminded me of how lucky we are to have this country & those who fought for it. I loved the cozy interior with brick and wood. My parents are regulars, so they know the server, and he was super nice. They have a great Old Fashioned, and we all got the Seafood Trio (mine with double cod). The fingerling potatoes were to die for. It was all delicious. Amazing Caesar salad, too. Definitely had leftovers. Excited to go back for their happy hour. Can’t wait to try wagyu sliders, mussels, and clam chowder. Seriously, it all sounds good. Definitely worth a trip! And you’ll be back to try it all 😁“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.“

“Great food, staff and atmosphere.“

“After a long rainy day of parenting at Legoland we found ourselves at the brewery. I'm so glad we had Luna as our waitress because she provided some of the best service I have ever had at any other restaurant. As an out of towner we will be back for some good food, good beer, and hopefully some of the best service from Luna.“

“SKC is a nice place to stop for breakfast if you have your dogs with you and are looking for a gluten-free meal.

Our short rib and hashbrown cakes was very good, perfectly flavored on the mild-side, and a filling portion to enjoy.

Our Monterey omelet was missing something, we cannot figure out what should be added or left out. The bacon was great, but we lost the rest of the flavoring.“

“We went here for brunch. We got Turkish eggs, French Toast and Gravlax. Everything was delicious, french toast came with cardamom cream which was deliciously unique.
We had a 10 month baby and they were very accommodating. Very beautiful restaurant with great service and food.“

“I celebrated my birthday at Lilo and as soon as my husband and I walked in, we were led to their beautiful open outdoor space where we had small, tasty appetizers with drinks. After, we walked in, we were seated at the “Chef's table.” I recommend reserving that option at Lilo. The table side dishes were presented next to us with explanations to the amazing dishes. I also really enjoyed the table side presentations of the cocktails made by the staff. All in all, I commend Chef Eric and his staff for their representation of the menu and lively music within the restaurant. I truly encourage going to Lilo as a restaurant to enjoy and make it memorable memories and taste their exquisite food. A “must do” in San Diego.“

“Friendly people were kind and understanding when it came for me to pick something. it was hard just to pick one item. I left with a delicious sweet strawberry refresher with popping boba, and came back for a CROFFLE! which can be served with multiple toppings, but I chose strawberries and vanilla ice cream! ...Worth it!!“

“Nice place. Had to wait for our drinks and food for a little while. We were also celebrating my son’s birthday and I thought they would do something special. Which the waitress just dropped off a cookie with whipped cream and took off No singing no wvwn saying happy birthday.“

“Sitting around the fire with a glass of wine in my hand.“

“The service was impeccable, and the food was great“

“We love coming here (Austin TX location) - it's clean, quick and nice service. Love the seats and swing tables. The restrooms are usually clean and in working order. However, I hate the per ticket fee - $9 extra for 4 tickets.“

“Perfect getaway friendly staff loved every second of our stay there! Highly recommend“
