“Spencer was our server on Sunday and our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment my family and I arrived, until we left, we felt welcomed and pampered by the food and exceptional service. Spencer went above and beyond for us. He knew the menu like the back of his hand, offered great recommendations and pairing suggestions for us, too. And the view wasn’t too bad, too! It was actually stunning! Overlooking the ocean and the shores. Highly recommend dining at this spot.“

“Seasons 52 always goes above and beyond! We have never had a bad meal here! Our waitress was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu! We loved the wine that she recommended so much that we ended up buying a bottle to take home with us! The lamb was incredible as well as the Filet & Lobster!“

“This is our second visit to Rare Society and just like the last time, food, ambience and customer service were top notch. We started out with the Parker House Rolls (yummy) and for the entrée, I ordered the filet mignon with a side of onion rings and a Coronado Brewing Company IPA, while Shelly had the tri tip with onion rings. Both very good choices.“

“Another great evening at Bob's which we think is the best steakhouse in San Diego County! Food is always perfectly prepared and portions are large. We always split the delicious blue cheese salad which is served on ice cold plates. I ordered the rib eye which came with a giant glazed carrot and a baked potato. My husband had the rack of lamb with the glazed carrot and a baked sweet potato. We ended up bringing enough home for a second meal1 Unfortunately we felt the service was a bit slower than normal and that is normally not the case. We love this restaurant and highly recommend it.“

“Randi was a excellent server and she gave great suggestions. The salmon I had was cooked perfectly. My husband had the meatloaf, which was very good. We got to watch the SDSU basketball game, which was an added bonus. When we left, they had a 10 point lead.“

“We went Saturday March 2nd to celebrate my wife's birthday. The entire experience was fantastic. The food was delicious. I specifically want to thank and acknowledge our server Berlyn for the exceptional customer service and for making our evening very special.“

“It has been at least 15 years since we last dined at Red Tracton's Steakhouse. This used to be our special date night haunt or a favorite lunch spot prior to the races. After our long hiatus we were treated by friends to a birthday dinner complete with wine, food, laughter and lots of memories. Service was excellent. Our server was Anna and she had a beautiful personality that contributed to a wonderful evening. We began our feast with Red's famous onion strings. I don't know how many onions sacrificed their lives for this starter but there was enough to feed the restaurant. I moved on to the lobster bisque and my wife the Tracton Salad. The bisque was somewhat as remembered but the Tracton Salad was lacking the signature Green Goddess dressing and for $16 for a small bowl fell short of expectations. For dinner I had the Top Sirloin and my wife the Sandabs. She seemed to enjoy the sandabs but for me the top sirloin was almost too tough to cut through or even chew. And, everything seemed to lack seasoning. That is unusual for a steakhouse as most pride themselves in delivering well seasoned food. For dessert we were offered a few sweets in which I picked their version of the lava cake. It was good and also a nice gesture on behalf of our hostess to comp it. We brought our own wine, corkage fee is $30 a bottle and Anna was nice enough to decant and also strain for sediment. We look forward to returning in the near future but will try other options for our dishes.“
