Restaurants near Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

Great service and seating around the chef counter was a bonus. You can see all the cooking action right in front of you. The wagyu carpaccio was the highlight of the night. It just melts in your mouth. The organic pear salad was also great for sharing. However the aged duck breast and the dry-aged bone in ribeye had some tendons and chewy parts that is unable to swallow.

Impeccable service and amazing food made for a special evening. The atmosphere was festive and fun. The decor was modern and delightful to the eye. Highly recommend!

We had the five-course tasting menu with the wine pairings and both were superb.

i’ve dined here eight or 10 times over the years just brought someone new last night and he raved about the entire experience: food service creativity. We got the tasting menu and as usual the Alna and the Kampachi were huge hits early on. The subtlety combined with sharp notes took what could otherwise be very straightforward and made them rich. It was all excellent but as usual the Leppo chicken is Callie’s feathering the cap for that experience. Why doesn’t have a Michelin star is beyond me? Perhaps it’s the more casual approach to dining, but the food is easily Michelin quality for my taste by far away the best food in San Diego south of Addison 

I have been here twice and it has been a great experience each time. Our server James was awesome on both occasions. The food there is great whether it be an appetizer for your main course.  No disappointments here.
