    We travel around the country and try to make the dining  experience part of our vacation. We had learned about red O the last time we went to San Diego and didn’t have time to experience the restaurant. So we made a point of it this year. I will say that it has to be one of the best restaurants we’ve ever had the pleasure of  dining. We come from a state that serves a lot of beef and I will say that the 18 ounce ribeye was better than anything I had from our home state. My spouse had the half a pound lobster and it was done to perfection. So I highly recommend anyone experiencing this restaurant if they have the opportunity. The weight staff was incredible. And we will definitely put in our plans for next time we’re in San Diego.

    The food was the highlight of our visit. We ordered a grilled salmon poke, and we truly enjoyed it. However, the service left much to be desired. Lastly, the place could use a bit of a refresh—it’s clear it hasn’t been updated in quite a few years.

    We had appetizer of artichoke and calamari, lobster bisque, margherita pizza, penne Villa Capri, and salmon fettuccini. The bisque needed to be heated up but everything was delicious! The service was outstanding. We loved it.
