- KKristiSan Diego •9 reviews5.0Dined todayWe were there quite early on a Friday evening and were the only table at 4pm so have no idea if the experience would be comparable with a full restaurant but the food was delicious and the service was perfect. Prices were higher than we expected however so would be more of a special occasion for a repeat visit.More infoAsti RistorantePrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.6
- DDianeLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025Came on NY’s day for lunch. Food, ambience, and service were fantastic. There was an issue initially with the hostess getting our party seated even though we had a reservation. The hostess was not very receptive, reassuring, or service oriented it seemed. But the manager eventually got involved who was amazing and got us all situated. Norma was the sweetest. Would definitely come here again :)More infoProvisional Restaurant at Pendry San DiegoPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.7

The great food and ambiance and staff have always bowled me over and have made this wonderful venue one of my favorite downtown San Diego restaurants. Of course tonight was a full house at 7:30 pm and i was very glad to see this!More infoOperacaffePrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.7
