“Our server was pleasant but rarely checked in, drinks/food took a very long time, and then went on break. He told us he had turned us over to another server to cover while on break but we finally had to flag someone down to order dessert. Can't beat the setting, though!“

“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure to dine at Juniper and Ivy for our 33 year anniversary. Not only did they have special menus for us, but we had a complete and very special experience start to finish.The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. We had what I would consider the best seats in the restaurant. We sat up at the kitchen bar, and were treated to an amazing dinner and “show “ The kitchen crew were so impressive and friendly to each other and us. We had such a great experience, that we canceled reservations at another restaurant on the same block for later in the week, so we could come back and try more. Same amazing experience at the next visit. Highly recommend, when we come back to SD we will prioritize another visit. Thank you so much for such a great experience!“

“Eddie V's Prime Seafood has become one of my favorite upscale seafood restaurants. What started as a single restaurant in Austin, Texas, has grown into a highly successful fine-dining chain with locations across the country, while still maintaining an elegant atmosphere and consistently high standards. Even so, it still feels far more like a boutique steak and seafood house than a typical chain.
The downtown San Diego location certainly doesn't disappoint. The menu features an impressive selection of fresh seafood and USDA Prime steaks, with favorites like Chilean sea bass, lobster, oysters, scallops, crab cakes, filet mignon, and beautifully prepared shellfish. Everything we ordered was excellent.
One thing I've learned is that the portions can be a bit smaller than you might expect, so the best strategy is to order several sides for the table. And don't bother bringing your diet—this is comfort food at its finest. Rich lobster mashed potatoes, crab fried rice, truffle mac and cheese, roasted vegetables, and other indulgent sides are meant to be shared and enjoyed.
The service was attentive, the atmosphere was refined without feeling stuffy, and the location near the San Diego waterfront makes it an excellent choice for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special celebration. If you're looking for an elegant seafood dinner with consistently great food and a lively upscale ambiance, Eddie V's is an easy recommendation.“

“We are from “the beef capital” of Australia and discovered The Lion’s Share during SDCC 2023. My husband has very high standards when it comes to meat (his family owned a cattle property) and he could not fault a single dish. We tried camel sausage for the first time and were amazed at the flavor. Every dish was delicious, and make sure you try the brussel sprouts. A restaurant that specializes under exotic meats that can make brussel sprouts that delicious is doing something right! It is our must visit restaurant when we visit San Diego“

“The vibe is chill but I really dont like that I dont know how much I will pay for a drink until I pay. They have menu with some of the drinks they have, but didnt bother to put prices on it. They dont have a drink menu for everything they have. When I asked about the price, I was told maximum price for a category of the drink (max for teh cocktail is, max for wine is), not a price for the drink that I was ordering.“

“Loved this place. Visited there for a couple days and we were there every day we went. Bartenders were so nice. I wish I could have this place where I lived. Made me feel at home the second I walked in. Everyone we met there were amazing too. Music box, 2 pool tables and electric dart set up. Recommend anyone to come here“

“One of my favorite bars in the city! Great cigars, deals on drinks, and a vibe that’s always chill but never boring. Staff makes you feel at home every time. I even love bringing in my board games here it’s the perfect spot to relax, hang with friends, and just enjoy the night. Easily one of my favorite bars in the city.“
“Chillin’ by the pool with drinks!“
“My wife and I went to the restaurant thats inside the Sheraton Tower 3. It’s called Shorelight. Best decision ever! Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of the food that we ordered. We had the hot and honey jumbo chicken wings. Unbelievably savory! We also ordered the meatball sub. Huge sub! Fresh mozzarella, marinara sauce, and comes with either a salad, fries, or fresh fruit. Dalton is the bartender who took our order. Great guy and very helpful!!“
“The Catalina Lounge has been our "football hang-out" for the last few weeks and we've had a BLAST. Speaking of Blast-From-The-Past" we found two of our favorite bartenders here Brie and Brandon working the football crowd. It was refreshing to see that they remember all of us as soon as we walked in (by name!!!!) and what was also awesome they remembered what we drank, talk about those two making us feeling special. The ambiance on Sunday's is football, football, fun, and good times. During half time my husband and his friend like to play pool and additionally they put out some good eats (for FREEEEEEEEEEE) - yesterday it was nachos, 7 layer dip, juicy full size hot dogs (not the cheapies) and some yummy cookies and cakes. I don't know any other bar that goes that far. If you enjoy your SunFunDays watching games with friends (or by yourself, people are extra friendly there) having a ice cold beverage of choice and a GREAT time head on over.....Thanks AGAIN Brie and Brandon- you gave 10 PLUS service yesterday, see you NEXT Sunday!“

“Great service and a mixture of up scale and simple dishes. The menu is great and the bar has a good selection. Plenty of space in and out. So seating is not an issue. I Had a well cooked dish, but it was salty. My friend ordered the same and it was too. They took care of it and re-ordered. The 2nd day my food was perfect. Rations are big compared to other restaurant in the area. It’s a great experience and has a decent schedule for those staying at the hotel. Will comeback to upgrade this to a 5 stars.“

“Came in on a whim around midnight with a few friends after closing my bar. The bartender was very sweet and made us some pretty decent shots. The draft beers were ice cold and priced well. Quite a few people for a week night. We shot some pool and stayed till last call. I hadn’t been there in over 15 years. Completely forgot what a great dive bar it was and has always been. I’ll definitely be coming back more often.“

“Walking back into SRO after years away felt like slipping into a memory you did not realize you missed — a soft, familiar glow, the buzz of conversation, and the kind of warmth that settles into your shoulders the second you walk in. This isn’t just a neighborhood bar; it’s one of those rare community anchors where the energy feels lived-in, loved, and completely unfiltered.
SRO has long been a haven for San Diego’s transgender and LGBTQ+ community. It’s the definition of a classic dive: no pretense, no attitude — just real people, real stories, and that easy, comfortable vibe you cannot manufacture. The pool league keeps things lively, the bartenders keep things relaxed, and the regulars create a sense of belonging that feels almost immediate.
After working in another gay bar in this neighborhood for over two decades, returning to SRO was surreal in the best way — I recognized faces I hadn’t seen in years. That kind of continuity is rare. It tells you everything about the heart of this place: people come back, and they stay connected.
If you’re looking for velvet ropes or curated aesthetics, this isn’t that bar. But if you want authenticity, comfort, laughter, and a place with a heartbeat — SRO is the kind of spot that becomes home without you even trying.
Highly recommended, especially if you appreciate a bar with real soul.“
“A neighborhood gem! Owners are wonderful people and have created a place with a lot of heart as well as being one of the best bottle houses in San Diego.“

“We were in downtown San Diego yesterday for a bachelor party with 19 of us, and the night completely changed thanks to the guy outside. A tall, tattooed gentleman approached us, super friendly, confident, and genuinely engaging. We were actually headed to another spot, but he had such good energy and made us feel so welcome that he convinced us to give his bar a shot. Best decision we made all night.
He personally hooked us up with champagne bottles and great drink deals (we ended up spending a lot of money there), you could tell he was single handedly packing the place with his hustle. I’d been to this bar a few months back and it was pretty dead, but last night it was buzzing, clearly because of him.
Huge shoutout to him for making the night unforgettable, and props to the bearded bartender and the blonde bartender as well, they kept the vibe going strong. Thanks for an epic night!
We will also be back to try his favourite dishes there, aguachile and wagyu burger.“

“Having walked to the end of the promenade we called in to the Hilton and asked at the restaurant where the best place to order a drink would be. We were directed to the Pool Bar – a delightful area outside with comfortable seating. We ordered iced tea and when we asked for the bill we were told that there was no charge. Most impressive.“

“Excellent service, food was delicious, drinks were on point! A very delightful dining experience. Will definitely go again.“
“Stayed for a week at Hotel Republic. Trade restaurant is right next to the reception area inside the hotel. The hotel charges a daily 25$ fee and one of the perks from that is you can eat either at this restaurant or Topside on the floor above, with 25$ daily refund, even the morning you checkout - just need to charge it to your room. I was always having proper meals outside, but showed up 4 times during my stay here just to get something extra. Really liked their soup of the day - it was creamy potato the night I went. The steak fries plate is very oily and a huge size too. The breakfast burrito was okay. The hummus was really good. The staff are all very friendly.“
“Great rooftop bar with an amazing atmosphere and beautiful city views. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the evening. The drinks were good, the service was friendly, and the overall experience was excellent. I would definitely come back.“

“If there was ever a place that should smell like sulfur and/or methane emitted from humans, it would be this place, but surprisingly I've never had that experience. It's definitely enjoyable if you like to get excessive human interaction, both Un and intentionally. The bartenders have always done their best with what they have to work with and the music is usually decent. 4 stars just because it's usually tight and hot, especially near the front but not so much once you pass the bar.“

“Where is the 10 star option for service? I was at the hotel for a few nights for work. The entire bar staff was so hospitable and professional — it’s Elijah who really distinguished himself. By my third of three nights, he knew my name, what I was drinking, and what I wanted to see on the TV (hockey). That young man embodies hospitality.“
