- NNataliavipSan Diego •21 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWhat can I say? This is easily one of the best happy hour spots in San Diego! The ambiance is stunning, the service is outstanding, and the food is absolutely incredible. We had yet another fantastic experience here, this time for an early dinner to celebrate my kid’s birthday. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the Japanese sweet potatoes are a must-try, the fish and chips were amazing—so fresh and moist—and the clam chowder was perfection. The smoked trout dip wasn’t my favorite this time, but it was still a solid appetizer. Our server, Mike, was exceptional—attentive, polite, and spot-on with his food recommendations. We’ll definitely be back, and if you’ve never been to this place, make a reservation now. You can thank me later!More infoIronside Fish & OysterPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Little Italy•4.4
- LLynnvipGrand Rapids / Western Michigan •54 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe were greeted nicely. I fell down on the way to the restaurant and hurt my finger. The restaurant staff offered me a bandaid and some cream. They also checked on me during our meal! That’s an excellent compliment to them! Thank you so much!More infoGreat Maple San DiegoPrice: Moderate• American• Hillcrest•4.8
- LLauraSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood and drinks were amazing! The decor was lovely and the vibe was fun! Ken was our server and he was great, but the woman who took over for him while he went on break was not friendly, which was why I only left three stars for service. Additionally, two people in my party had to cancel due to illness. I tried to make a change to the reservation online, but wasn’t able to do so through the OpenTable app. I called the restaurant and kept getting a busy signal, so I was never able to alert the restaurant to the change in number of guests. When I explained that to the hostess upon arriving at the restaurant she seemed irritated at the change and told us we had to wait while she changed the table setting. The food was delicious and I loved the atmosphere, so I will definitely return, and hope of having friendlier staff and improvements in using the OpenTable appMore infoGravity Heights Mission ValleyPrice: Moderate• American• Mission Valley•4.7
