    Other than the very loud group next to our table, the experience was great. I made a last minute reservation, was 15 minutes late, and was still able to secure my table through text to indicate I was on my way. The food and drinks were great, especially the Brussels sprouts. I just wish they would reconsider how the Caesar salad is presented. And thanks to Joseph, our waiter.

    My son (6) and I dined here, and while he was the only child in the restaurant, they took great care to make him feel welcome. The Ribeye was perfectly prepared and all other items complimented perfectly. Our server Kimi was fantastic and really catered to our needs and created a great experience for us.

    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!
