Best Family Style Restaurants in Mission Bay

Paradiseae exceeded my expectations in every way - food, ambience and service were first class. I was especially impressed that the chef created custom vegan and pescatarian multi-course meals so that we could all enjoy the Chef’s menu. Everyone loved the creative and delicious food and cocktails. Will definitely come back if we’re in town again. Tip for vegans: contact the restaurant in advance so they can accommodate.

I had a phenomenal experience at Juniper and Ivy. I made a reservation for my wife’s birthday and once I got there they had valet service for 15$ which for Downtown SD isn’t bad at all. Upon arriving we waited at a very nice, comfortable lounge area by the bar while our table got ready. Once we were seated the server Andrew gave us greeted us phenomenally, remembered the request I made upon making the reservation and fulfilled it expertly. I had initially checked the restaurant’s menu online to have what I wanted to order planned and my only critique is that there was a good amount of menu items in the website that either weren’t available or had different prices however I still rated them 5 stars because all the issues I had related to the website were smoothly resolved by both the manager and the server which easily removed all potential problems both regarding price and the availability of menu items. The food was just as good as the service and I would highly recommend anyone visiting San Diego or looking for a quality dining experience. The price is on the high side but I refuse to call it expensive because the amount you pay is on par with the experience you receive and I will absolutely be dining there again in the future. In conclusion 10/10 to Juniper and Ivy and a special shoutout to the server Andrew and to Whatever manager was on the floor the night of 20Dec2024.

Jack and Guilios is our favorite restaurant for a special occasion. Have been coming here for about 25 years. Great food and great service.

Great food and ambience , service was AAA. Will be back soon

This is our favorite place for quiet lunches. Closer than a trip to small town in France and the local bistro. They make you feel special. Moules are to die for
