“On my first visit I was greeted with an incredible smile and the willingness to get my straight matcha perfected even if she had to add more matcha or more water. On top of this amazing hospitality, I was treated to a beautiful message on my cup. 20 plus years at Starbucks and I have never got a heart. ❤️”

“Best Pizza & Brew serves a variety of delicious pizzas, salads, pastas, poke bowls and drinks. The workers are always ready to take your order and make suggestions if youre unsure of which dish to choose. The house salad is delicious. It's always served fresh, and a perfect side with pizza. Best Pizza & Brew is across the street from the beach, by other restaurants and stores, so it's usually a busy place. They have plenty of seating, and the dining area is clean. BP&B also sells cool hats, tees and hoodies. You won't be disappointed with the Best Pizza & Brew.”

“Visiting from out of town & Dog 🐶 Friendly.”

“Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful, well-designed space with a strong sense of flow.
You start with bites in a garden courtyard, move indoors to an open kitchen for mains, and finish by the fire pit with tea. Warm wood tones and a subtle Japanese aesthetic make the whole experience feel calm and intentional.

Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This menu centered around flowers, with floral elements in almost every dish.
Compared to traditional French fine dining, Lilo is noticeably lighter—more seafood, cleaner flavors, and slightly acidic seasoning instead of heavy, rich profiles. Very well suited for spring/summer.

Overall Thoughts
A refined, thoughtfully curated tasting menu with strong atmosphere and clear identity.
Within Michelin-level dining, it stands out for being light, seasonal, and restrained rather than heavy.

Will I come back?
Yes.”

“First time visiting. This is a must visit for all food lovers who also appreciates quality Californian ingredients. I had all tonics on the menu, the Turkish eggs & the Spanish French toast. Absolutely yummy! I was super nervous to try the French toast so a super sweet couple sitting next to me shared some their French toast with me & I’m so glad they did. I’ll be coming back for sure for the French toast! I absolutely loved the ambience and customer service. I felt at home and I can’t say that for half of the restaurants in San Diego. Definitely a must visit! I highly recommend! I will definitely return!!
