Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Pacific Beach

Cellar Hand is wonderful date night spot. The food is amazing: locally sourced and prepared with skill. Bonus: if you’re a member of the Pali Wine Co club, then you can bring their bottles with you for no corkage fee.

From the moment we arrived at the hostess was gracious, sat us down and gave us our drinks. The server was amazing. I cannot remember her name, but she was so sweet, and the strawberry martinis are out of this world the food the salmon was perfectly cooked, and the burger was a medium, also perfectly cooked great atmosphere. The noise level was perfect to where you can actually have a conversation and it wasn’t too loud.

This is a 5 star experience! Our party of four tried four different cocktails, 12 different dishes and three desserts. Impossible to pick a favorite and impossible to select anything that was not exceptional. Additionally, the chef and team were super sensitive to serving any dishes that would be an allergy issue. So the food was glorious, the chef and team brilliant…yet the staff is what elevated the experience. From our two servers, their assistant, the sommelier and the front of house - one word - Brilliant. Best meal of the year winner

Absolutely enjoyed every minute of our dining experience. Everyone was nice, knowledgable, friendly and professional. We were given time to enjoy starting with drinks, our appetizers were fresh, full of flavor and will definitely have them on our next visit. Our main courses were full of flavor, the pizza was delicious, some of the best that I have had in a long time. The pasta was fresh with generous portion ( enough to bring home for lunch). Everything was well presented and full of flavor. Ended the evening with coffee and dessert, left fully satiated and looking forward to our next visit.

It was an amazing experience I recommend it very much. The worker are actually Italian and know what they are doing, and the food is incredibly good, highly recommend.
