    We had reservations to celebrate our anniversary there on a Saturday night. When the hostess greeted us she congratulated us on our anniversary and led us promptly to our table with a view. She also sprinkled some red heart shaped confetti on our table! Our server was the AMAZING Gil, he had been our waiter before. Gil is the most attentive, polite, knowledgeable server we have ever had at ANY restaurant. My filet was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The sweet potato side dish is amazing. The cheesecake dessert was delicious! Gil made sure we had everything we needed and it was a perfect meal! Thank you!

    You can't go wrong -- fantastic views, great food, outstanding service. Checks all the boxes. A top restauraunt, one of the best in San Diego, that makes for a memorable occasion. One note that may be helpful: we went for Jazz brunch on a Saturday, and despite the band playing in the bar, the volume was just right and we could easily hear each other speak.

    The Prado at Christmastime; it doesn’t get any more iconic San Diego than that! We dined with good friends, brought in one bottle of wine and ordered one at the table. Food was outstanding; our server, Katarina, was attentive and knowledgeable and good natured. Very good at her job! We had a great table and were never rushed to next course. It was a beautiful relaxing evening to share an outstanding dining experience with great friends.
