Best Historic Restaurants in Encanto

Elegant setting and presentation of delicious entrees. Servers were lighthearted with great timing. Only wish we would have allowed more time for our meal before running out to catch a show. Great start to a special evening.

What a charming bistro! The cozy, inviting atmosphere is complemented by the green walls, which create a vintage feel. The staff provided exceptional service with upbeat, happy attitudes—you can tell they genuinely enjoy working together. The food and cocktails were outstanding. My steak and frites were cooked to perfection, and the clams and oysters, praised by our guests, were incredibly fresh with no hint of smell. The bibb salad was perfectly dressed, with subtle notes of Dijon and anise, making it ideal for sharing. While we ordered too many dishes to name, highlights included a perfectly balanced crème brûlée and a decadent chocolate soufflé that was well worth the wait. As a fan of Pali Hotels, I’m always impressed by their in-house restaurants, and this one is no exception. Can’t wait to return the next time I’m in San Diego!

Server was super nice and sociable, gave great recommendations for both food and places to visit after our meal. Ambience was wonderful, not too loud but didn’t feel empty either. Great food and experience overall. Would recommended the fried layered potato.

Best restaurant! We enjoy coming every year to celebrate our anniversary. Exceptional service and food is 100!!

Truly a fantastic meal. The service was exceptional. Our waiter, Issa, took plenty of time to explain the menu and provide recommendations. And all through the meal, he anticipated our needs. The steaks were all delicious and perfectly cooked with lovely char on the outside and medium rare. The sides were great. The bread was great and came with a delicious goat cheese and a butter as well. The atmosphere was quintessential steakhouse. We will definitely be back.
