This place looks like it used to be a part of a Japanese restaurant in the past.It has a beautiful Japanese garden with a Koi pond, which is filled with lotus flowers and leaves. Nice place to spend some chill time while having a drink.

Food wasn’t that good but the atmosphere of this place slaps. The staff was super nice too. I’ve had their brunch buffet before which was great but I don’t recommend their sausage plate or their fish tacos or their mac n cheese.

Unexpectedly nice drink and food place with a koi pond in the middle of office buildings. Also known as Building K by the Qualcomm employees in the area.

A (literally) hidden gem. The restaurant rests beside a small pond, found only by following a trail from the parking lot. Sitting outside under a cozy heat lamp, my husband enjoyed trying several beers while I had a POG seltzer. The service was fantastic, and the food was the best we'd had in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the locally crafted sausages and the baked mac n cheese. I learned that the sauces and dressings are made in house. My husband had the ahi nachos - chips and sauces also made in house. We'll be coming back!

Oh. My. God. What a great find. We were staying across the road at the Marriott and decided last minute to walk for dinner. It's in an office complex and we weren't even sure if it was open but boy... Was it worth walking over here.Audrey knows the menu and made some great recommendations. I ended up going with the tuna nachos. As I'm not a cilantro person I asked for none and it showed up garnished. There was zero issue and it immediately vanished from the table and a fresh order was served up within a few minutes. In the meantime I was able to finish a caesar salad that had one of the best dressings I've had in years. Add to it that this place has a dozen or more beers that they make and it is a little slice of Canadian heaven.I shared a picture of the menu for food as well as the menu for beer with some family back home and they pretty much agreed that I should just order one of everything and bring it back with me! The food will have me singing its praises for weeks to come as a highlight from a 2-week trip.All of the sauces are made in house right down to the dressing, and the chips themselves are baked here. You can't ask for fresher food or a prettier environment to have a cold drink and a hot meal. Absolutely on the must-do list the next time we are back down in the San Diego area.

The hamburgers here are absolutely scrumptious, and the atmosphere is delightful. They're cooked to perfection and topped with flavorful ingredients. I can't speak for the bar since I only had food, but I do wish the service had been better; our waiter never returned to check on us. Additionally, locating the place within the complex was a bit challenging.

On 3/25/24 my friend and I had just finished honoring a friend and U.S. Navy Veteran at Miramar NC. I’m 78 and he is 33. I have been there many times with others and wanted to share the great food with my friend that day. We meet the hosted and I mented that I thought we had previously met she flatly said NO.. I asked to sit outside but, he wanted to sit inside. The place was loud and busy with that said she started outside while he grabbed my shoulder so I TOUCHED HER OPRN HOADY not her, she turned the other way and walked away. We sat outside when the manager came over and said she didn’t like being touched. I felt badly for her in this position and should not have a job that deals with the public. She kept giving me strange looks. Very odd young women and hope she has not made someone very uncomfortable at other times. I am also a combat veteran Remove from Vietnam and belong to a very large group of others like myself in the area. Please discuss this one Star receive with her. Thank you
