Best Bars And Lounges in Hillcrest

Here’s a brief review you can use or modify: Outstanding food and service! The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the staff was attentive and welcoming. The only downside was the that the venue was quite loud, making it difficult to have a conversation, and the lighting was very dim.

We stopped in after a whale watching trip. It was a bit pricier than I remember, bill was $340 without alcohol and two of us split entrees. We were a party of 6, started off with steak tartare and oysters, both delicious. My sister got lobster bisque and swordfish, both great, especially impressed with soup, it is hard to find good lobster bisque on the west coast. I split the salmon with my mom, very moist and the skin was crisped perfectly; we also split the greens salad which was flavorful. My daughter got the filet trio all 3 yummy. Brother got a shrimp pasta dish and said you could tell they were good quality shrimp. We are all pretty picky eaters, not with what we eat but with how things are prepared. Everything we ordered was delicious.

The food at Cosina de Barrio was incredible—each dish was packed with authentic, rich flavors that truly felt like a taste of home. The ingredients were fresh, and the preparation was spot on. Every bite was a celebration of traditional flavors. The drinks, though, were a bit too inflexible for my taste; they lacked the creativity and variety I was hoping for.

Everything was Amazing. Thanks to the wonderful host, manager, and server, my party of two humans and one dog was seated in a nice and quiet corner on the patio.

Me and a friend stopped in and sat at the bar. We were greeted right away. All the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Food was amazing and didn’t take too long. Ambiance was perfect too, not too dark or bright. Shout out to Jad the supervisor for checking in on us and making sure our experience was a positive one. Will definitely be back!
