Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in La Mesa

Experiencing history in a contemporary settingm. If the walls could talk...lovely! Treated like US Grant himself.

Miguel was a great server. Food is good and good value. Charming lunch place.

Food and service were excellent. Some items a little over priced. Will visit again when in San Diego.

We found Lemon Bistro searching for restaurants on open table. It had a high rating and great reviews so we thought we’d see for ourselves. It’s a cute place with good atmosphere and the food and service were excellent. Carly, our server, was amazing. She had a great personality, good recommendations and just added a lot of fun to our night. All of the people we encountered throughout our dinner were friendly. We started with the crab cakes which were full of crab and not breading and were very tasty. For dinner my husband had the short ribs and I had the meatloaf and both of those were excellent. We finished with the carrot cheesecake which was delicious. Portions were good size and quality of food was very good. We will definitely be returning.

This is a great place to eat before going to the theatre. Food is carefully prepared, delicious and priced right. We are always pleased.
