Garlic Parm Burger - Half Pound patty, candied jalapeño bacon, swiss, garlic aioli, arugula, tomato, brioche bun, parmesean crisp - Served w Fries. Absolute 🔥! Our Server "Jordan" was awesome too.“

“I live out east nowadays, but I visit my hometown in La Mesa yearly. Came to Curbside for the first time last year, and just now went back again. I wish we had food like this around here when I was growing up!! My gosh, the short rib beef is incredible. Had it on a salad last time, and just now had the short rib taco along with an equally impressive fish taco. I got a few bites of the beef kebab too, and it was just as top-notch! Great seating options with a view of La Mesa Blvd. Good beer list too. And wonderful staff. I wish I had more time to try more of the menu—but I’ll be back every time I’m in San Diego down the line. Wishing the best to Curbside!“

“Great place way under rated, sleeper…“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

Service was good. Our waiter took our orders soon after we sat down and she checked on us often. The portions were large too.“

“Loved our lunch at Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar at the Fashion Valley Mall! Such relaxing vibes, it feels like you’re on vacation. We had to get the frozen pina colada and Mai tai to match the vibe. We decided to do just appetizers and were very pleased with our choices of ahi tuna tacos, coconut shrimp, steak flatbread, and chicken tacos. Very friendly and accommodating service. Dog friendly. Recommend!“

“It’s definitely was a 10 & 5 ⭐️ for sure! Our server Sarah was an absolute delight & very accommodating! The food delish.. the escargot was a first & I thoroughly enjoyed (my brother a baby & missed the experience) more for me! All of the food definitely top notch!“

“Everything about that place! Just AMAZING!“

“Great music with Whitney Shay“

“There is no better spot for Cider in North Park (if not the WORLD) than Bivouac. A cozy campout aesthetic ran by the CiderQueen of SD herself, and a warm and hospitable staff to boot! The food and cider options are immense, with a delightful rotation of ciders to keep things adventurous! I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again - if I could give Biv a SIX out of Five, I would!“

“What a fantastic place! Food was excellent and great proportions, likely the best flatbread I’ve ever had. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and will return if in the area again.“

“My friend and I went, for a nice diner I went to celebrate his Big 40th. BDAY! We was have a nice time,“

“Very tasty beverages. Nice big ice cubes, made from tasty water. Friendly staff, and a back room shrouded in mystery...“

“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.“

“I love the salad and sandwiches“

“Many excellent food choices. All the food the three of us chose was delicious. At least three relatively small dining areas--all quiet. Excellent service. An added benefit is free parking for dinner and, with tickets from the Civic Theater or the Balboa Theater, additional free parking for the performance.“

“You guys are the real MVPs Not having a special menu goes the extra mile to show that you’re willing to show gratitude to veterans. Now I’m a regular after eating here. Shout out for the flank steak last night. Our server Belle was great as well.“

“IMHO on of the best places in central San Diego. Great outdoor setting in the sculpture garden. Tasty elevated bar food - burgers, melts, salads, etc. Good selection of beer and wine, cocktails, etc. Friendly staff and sometimes live music - though can get a bit loud. One of our go to standbys.“

“They have a white sangria that the wife just LOVES. Have to stop in every once in a while and grab a glass“

“The chillest Grill and Cafe. The food is fresh, crispy soft chibatta bread, Chai tea latte is perfect and the Berry smoothie is flavorful. Definitely will come back. The atmosphere is blend of city and home style. The staff is very helpful and attentive.“

“Want to give an enthusiastic shoutout to Danielle, Mandy, William. We arrived Friday night (Nov 7th) for a Birthday celebration for my wife. The atmosphere was great. I recommend getting the bucket of cocktails therefore you can try each drink. The birthday cake and tequila flight was well appreciated.“

“The food was incredible and great service!“

“Good brews and great appetizers. The mini-deep dish pizza 🍕 is great!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and the staff is the best.“

“Perfect place to grab food before catching a show at the Civic Center. A lot of other customers had the same idea too so the place was a bit busy.

The service was quick and the food was good. I would say it's elevated bar food. Everything was tasty and our group enjoyed what we ordered. No complaints from anyone.

I ordered the Peach Tom Collins and I think they forgot the peach puree. It was clear so no puree there. I did ask the waitress and she confirmed that it was indeed the Peach Tom Collins. It was a disappointment so don't waste your money on it.

The shrimp tacos were delicious. The fish tacos were good too but I like the flavor of the shrimp tacos more.
The wet burrito was humongous. It came with both red and green enchilada sauce. The red enchilada sauce was better imo.

We also love the big loaded nachos. That was a great choice for our appetizer to share between the four of us.“

“Bartenders were great and friendly! Fun place to watch games! Love my girl Jordan!“

“El establecimiento esta muy limpio y fresco. La atención al cliente es excelente y te sientes muy consentido con el trato del personal. Super recomendado! la Comida riquísima!“

“Wonderful place! We got to enjoy a revamp of the menu, and it was delicious. Everything we ordered was truly amazing. The new cocktail list was just as great and invigorating. We tried a couple of them, and I finished the evening with an Espresso Martini. The cream and cinnamon on top were a little surprise I was not expecting. I truly recommend Storyhouse Spirits, and it's right around the corner from the ballpark. Thanks for everything!“
