    We came at a quieter time and enjoyed the privacy. The service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and helpful. We had Trio of Dips, which were delicious! The tzatziki was to die for. For mains, we had fried chicken sandwich, fried fish sandwich and fish and frites. The rosemary fries were lovely. All the fried portions of the meal were a bit too oily. Overall, we would definitely come back.

    A group of colleagues and I came to Beeside for a business lunch because it is one of our favorite spots in San Diego. We were seated right away on the balcony which was a bit breezy however we were brought a portable heat lamp plus we had an overhead heat lamp that was built in. The portable heat lamp went out and we asked several times if we could get a new heat lamp since it was chilly. The server was very nice but I think she got distracted so we never got the new heat lamp. Other than that, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding, as usual. We love Beeside. Thanks for a great meal!
