“While searching for a place to have dinner off property during our holiday, we came across Jolie online. The reviews were excellent and the dinner and service didn’t disappoint. Owner Molly was welcoming and Jack, our server was wonderful too. We met chefs on vacation who had come twice in a week to eat there too. Don’t walk, run. But get a reservation, seating is limited.“

“Nick took care of us from the moment we walked in! The menu was innovative and ingredients tasted very fresh. Really enjoyed our lunch; hoping to fit in one more visit before heading home to GA. And excited to know there is a location in Atlanta!“

“It’s too bad that a patron enjoying the excellent cuisine is “rushed” to finish the dining experience. They obviously want as many table “turnovers” as possible. It ruins the relaxing enjoyment a patron expects with fine dining. Such a shame…“

“Juan Jasper’s Wine Bistro - A Golden Hill Treasure
Don’t let the simple “wine bar and restaurant” description fool you - Juan Jasper’s is the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars before they’ve finished their first glass of wine. Tucked away in Golden Hill, this cozy spot has mastered what so many other places try to manufacture: genuine community.
Let’s talk about the food, because it deserves the spotlight. They serve what might just be the best fries in San Diego - no small claim in a city full of great food. Their burger? It’s a standout served with bordelais. The menu changes regularly, offering a thoughtful selection of global classics that pair perfectly with their wine selection.
Speaking of wine, Juan Jasper’s maintains an impressive and ever-rotating selection of wines from around the world. Whether you’re staying to enjoy a glass (or bottle) with your meal or picking something up to take home, their knowledgeable staff will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
But what truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere. Walk in and you’ll likely be greeted with a hug rather than a formal hello. Regulars welcome newcomers like old friends, making introductions all around. It’s the kind of place where solo diners end up joining other tables, where conversations flow freely between strangers, and where everyone seems to be having a wonderful time together—even former strangers.
This isn’t a pretentious wine bar or an exclusive club - it’s a neighborhood gem where great food, excellent wine, and genuine hospitality come together to create something magical. If you’re looking for a new favorite spot in San Diego, Juan Jasper’s should be at the top of your list.“

“I recently had the absolute pleasure of attending Vinya: vino + vinyasa's Persian Mace class, and I can't recommend it enough! This class is truly a fantastic workout – I was surprised by how much I sweat and how effectively it engaged my entire body. Beyond the physical challenge, it's incredibly fun and engaging, keeping you motivated from start to finish.
A huge part of what makes this class so exceptional are the instructors, Julie and Hai. They are both absolutely amazing! Their energy, clear instruction, and encouraging demeanor make the class a joy to attend. They strike the perfect balance of pushing you to your limits while ensuring you feel comfortable and supported.
If you're looking for a unique, challenging, and thoroughly enjoyable way to get fit, definitely check out the Persian Mace class at Vinya: vino + vinyasa. You won't be disappointed!“

“My wife and I went to this cozy place for dinner based on a recommendation. GOOD CALL! Our server was pleasant and checked in on us to make sure we were happy. The food was delivered fast and hot. We shared the 16 oz. T-bone steak. It came out pre cut, ready to share. We also ordered a wonderfully great big salad and a wonderful empanada with beef. The empanada was pleasantly spicy, but not overly. The steak came with lovely potatoes. We also ordered a side of broccolini. I’m not a big veg guy, but I have to say the broccolini was delicious. All said the meal wasn’t the cheapest, but was worth every bite.“

“If you are looking for a true Italian experience in San Diego, look no further than Vinarius! We worked with Giuseppe (owner) to host our wedding celebration here back in March, 2023. From the beginning, he was amazing to work with. Incredibly positive and accommodating from the start, we couldn’t have asked for more. The wedding ceremony was planned to be outside and of course, it rained that day. Guiseppe and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowed us to have the small ceremony inside the restaurant on short notice and made an incredible meal to follow. Our guests were blown away and we couldn’t have been happier. We recommend Vinarius to everyone we know and that is thanks to Giuseppe and his awesome staff. Grazie mille!“

“I am delighted with my experience at this Italian restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was transported to Italy with a warm ambiance and friendly staff. The food was extraordinary; each dish burst with authentic flavors that joyfully made my taste buds sing. The attention to detail in every plate was evident, showcasing the chef's expertise and dedication to traditional Italian cuisine. The pasta was cooked to perfection, sauces were rich and flavorful, and the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. Not only was the food exceptional, but the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and made the entire dining experience even more delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience in San Diego. In my opinion, this establishment undoubtedly deserves the title of the best Italian restaurant in town.“
“Tap house with friendly and generous owner.
Keeping one of the most Varietal selections in San Diego. From local California and national breweries
Located on 3rd ave filled with eateries. Always a must to stop by and drink dessert.
You know us adults who choose our sweets 😋 😉 😏 😜“

“Love love love this place! The decor is super cute, the drinks are affordable and incredibly tasty, plus the staff is super friendly. I like the variety too, from mimosas, to coconut pineapple sparkling wine, to Prosecco like, to super dry. Something for everyone. I'll definitely be back here!“
“LOVE the energy and the beautiful colorful spirits who brought this collective together! Some of the most considerate and dynamic artists I know! Everything revolves around culture, growth, unity, and progress. All of the artists they've brought through their doors, where musicians, artisans, and/ or painters have been amazing.“
“Good for groups. Have someone show up early to secure a table. There's all kinds of food and drinks; something for everyone. The stalls take a minute to make the food (think food truck wait times) but it's excellent.If you have folks that need a seat then I'd get there even earlier to make sure you can get a good spot on the patio.The planes are loud and taking off every other minute but I find it's a great way to break up a conversation. If someone's telling a long winded story, for example, they're awesome. Don't try to talk over them. Nobody will hear you; embrace the "Point Loma pause"“

“Service was standoffish to our out of town guests asking regular questions about the drink options. This place is a tasting room so they have beers of different places, wouldn’t waste your time here id go to a brewery where they’re more proud of their beverages and happy to help guests.“
“Great Wine Shop with a ton of wines that you don't find in most liquor stores or grocery stores. You can even pay a reasonable corkage fee and enjoying the wine in side or on their patio. One thing that bugs me though, when purchasing a wine the tip screen prompt defaults to 28%. I'm sorry but that's just a shady and amateursh practice.“

“Wow what A surprise at gate 43. Beaudevin is a lovely topless bar with excellent fresh small plates and remarkable pores. Steven was my guide to the light plate menu and helped me select a great wine to match an inspirational chicken Caesar, with one of the best dressings I’ve ever tasted, and a lovely cheese plate that’s was a bargain by anyone’sstandard.“

“This place is a real treat for anyone who loves quality sound and a relaxed atmosphere. The sound system is incredible.
The Japanese beer, which pairs nicely with the overall menu. Even with just one choice, it’s a great fit for the vibe.
Everything feels carefully curated, from the sound to the food and drinks. It’s the perfect spot to relax, listen to some quality music, and enjoy a great meal. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Made my way for the first time last week with a group of friends and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was great, good atmosphere, and the food/beer exceeded my expectations. The tacos are delicious, with hand-made tortillas. I had the Taco de Pulpo, which was amazing. Also had a very good queso fundido. And their Mexican Lager was very good. Definitely coming back for more.“

“Cigar Bar
I have a cigar bar now! Very comfortable place. Reminded me of a California version of the Hudson Club on Manhattan’s LWS. Very large & beautiful humidor. Probably the best conditioned cigar I’ve smoked. Service was phenomenal and the people there were great. I will definitely be back.

“This charming part of town is the prime hang out spot for a unique selection of wines, amazing food, great music, and lively conversation with a diverse local community. During my visit here, I spoke with people from Macedonia, Italy, Turkey, Japan, Ireland, and San Diego locals all within one delightful evening - it's like getting to travel vicariously through exchanging fascinating stories within a homey safe space! The different personalities you can meet amongst this destination for tourists and neighbors alike with good energy keeps the environment exciting, e.g. - I even met an international harpist who offered to help improve the technique on my lyre (mini harp) which has been collecting dust, but now I am inspired to bring it with me at the next meetup with her!
I would highly recommend a visit any time of the year, as the indoor space stays warm and the outdoor space has several heat sources including gas lit table-center fires. There are also plenty of comfy pillows, throws, and other cozy decor to keep you warm when the beautiful California sun sets. I found my favorite new Rose of all time (Colibri), sourced nearby from Monterrey, Mexico only a couple hours drive! It is so fresh, light, and made in small batches. 10/10 would go again for everything listed above and to support the fantastic business owners and talented chefs who have a strong love and passion for their craft! Check out the fun events they do daily to support other small businesses and the spread of cultural experiences (picture attached of this month's musings.) Or wander around their shop to see other ways to get involved and immersed in the best of what the San Diego scene has to offer. :)“

“I dig the vibe here. Nice Long Bar, comfy chairs, big tvs, great service and the beer offerings are on point. My wife was also happy with the wine selections. The real Duece Bigelow here is the food, they have some kind of a magic man hiding behind two double doors in the kitchen whippin out delicious burgers and damn near whatever his heart desires. the menu is small but it'll cash your checks all day, everyday!
Go get in your car and drive to this place. NOW! Wager up to the bar and if you don't find yourself lacking, pick a nice comfy chair, a good beer and eat amazing food.“

Great sushi at Fuego too. The kids had fun in the open area while the adults got to sit and eat in the cozy seating. We'll be back!“

“After dining at Buona Forchetta, I can't imagine enjoying pizza and pasta anywhere else in San Diego. From the moment you step in, the warm and friendly staff make you feel like you're family. They're sociable, upbeat, and ready to make your meal a memorable one. Our dinner began with two different wines. I'm a wine enthusiast, and I didn't snap any photos or recall their names, but rest assured, their wine recommendations are spot-on. The Regina Margherita pizza was a revelation. With its incredibly flavorful thin crust and the heavenly sauce, it was a pizza-lover's dream come true. The Spaghetti in Due Pomodori was, hands down, the best pasta dish I've tasted in California. With a simple yet tantalizing blend of organic tomatoes, garlic, and basil, it was sheer perfection. The nightly special, Pollo Milanese, was another hit. The chicken was tender, brimming with flavor, and cooked to perfection. And then came the desserts. We indulged in every option on the menu, and each one was a delight. We didn't leave a crumb behind. I highly encourage you to channel your inner foodie and savor each one, just like we did!“
