    Excellent experience, second time here, Natalie was an exceptional server, very knowledgeable about the complex cocktails, had great timing, and was naturally friendly, which really made the experience. The food was excellent and elevated, just like our first visit, and the sides were amazing and not basic. Minor suggestion is that the delicious brat would benefit from a better bun-thank you, we will be back on repeat.

    We prefer to sit on the deck where it is always more intimate, quieter, away from the busy intersections. The San Diego skyline is crisp in every direction. Heaters keep you from getting chilled in the cooler nights. Food and service never disappoint. Bali Hai has been our go-to spot since I was a child 60+ yrs ago for celebrations. Just recently we've been taking advantage of their holiday buffets; OMG, beautiful and delicious!
