From the OpenTable editors: This Little Italy mainstay is responsible for upping the neighborhood’s culinary cred. The kitchen takes local fish and ingredients from area farms, then turns them into stunning plates with international flavors like pappardelle with sunchoke stroganoff or albacore tuna crudo with citrus vinaigrette.

    First-rate experience! From the moment we stepped inside until the moment we stepped outside, we were welcomed and greeted by every person with sincerity and kindness. Initially, we had booked a table on the floor but a last minute change allowed us to up our reservation by 1.5 hours. The change moved us from the floor to the counter where the genius was happening. We were so thankful for the change and being able to see all that happens in the kitchen. Smiles, laughter, and intentional placement on dishes was heartwarming. The taste of our food was just as amazing. We started with the wagyu biscuits and rockfish tostados. We split the lamb entree with pickled cucumbers and onions paired with naan and a perfect dipping sauce. We were only able to eat one of the skewers of lamb. Everything was delightful and hit our palates perfectly. Did I mention the great Buffalo Trace old fashion?! Wonderful experience! Our favorite spot, so far, in San Diego. Keep rockin’ it out, Team Juniper & Ivy!

    The food was good but not great, and the prices were exorbitant. $185 for 4 portions of a so-so steak. Unfortunately the dishes were so tiny that we ended up at the chicken place next door afterwards. Won’t be back.
