- CChrisVIPSan Diego •22 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoBalboa Park is beautiful, especially during the Christmas season. The receptionist has a big beautiful welcoming smile and we were seated promptly. The cocktails were delicious (Old Fashioned and raspberry lemon drop). The servers and waitress (Brittany) were very attentive. The food was excellent, as always. Beef sushi roll (who knew?!), the Caesar salad, the short ribs - tender and so flavorful. The Prado never disappoints!More infoThe Prado at Balboa ParkPrice: Moderate• Californian• Downtown / Gaslamp•4.6

- KKathleenPhoenix / Arizona •5 reviews5.0Dined on 25 Dec 2024Simply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!More infoHerb & WoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Little Italy•4.7

We had the meat lovers pizza, Demi Moore burger, and Kale Cesar salad. All really tasty! Also the decor of the restaurant is a vibe!More infoGravity Heights Mission ValleyPrice: Moderate• American• Mission Valley•4.7
