Restaurants near Glorietta Bay Park

Had heard good things and we were not disappointed. Had the baguette w/salted butter, steak tartare, asparagus gratine, roasted half chicken, and cassoulet. All were outstanding. Service was spot on. They have a very limited full bar, with a few martini selections, but only vodka. Wish they had a nice gin! We enjoyed it so much on Friday evening that we made a reservation for brunch early Saturday morning. Had the croque madame and the smoked salmon tartine. Both came with a very tasty salad and were delicious. Finished with a cronut, which was amazing. Highly recommend Little Frenchie!

Third time and by far the most consistently excellent dining experience we’ve had in San Diego. The sourdough was lovely, especially the butter that came with… the biscuit also had great texture and a lovely sage butter. The baba ganoush plate was great though a little bread heavy and not quite enough BG. Pork belly outstanding on all accounts. The large steak for two was cooked perfectly, though the potato skin on the stuffed potato was a bit oily (probably just needs higher temperature on the oil or a change of oil). We are dessert people (hey Claire Saffitz) so we had the apple pie ice cream, orange creamsicle sorbet, and the “Ferrero Rocher.” All outstanding. Still our favorite celebration spot in SD.

Great experience with a lovely ambiance. The food surpassed out expectations . We started with The provolone fondue and pretzel bread. 5 stars. I had the Korean skirt steak. An abundance of flavors with a slight kick. My husband had the Bolognese. I felt that is was a bit on the sweeter side but my husband said it was perfect. For dessert, we have the Key Lime Crème Brûlée. It was real good but the tart was a bit too much for me to finish.

We had a lovely new years brunch (though I do wish they actually served brunch fare). Everything was very delicious! The service, while very friendly and accommodating, got a little slow toward the end as it got busier, which is understandable. It would’ve been okay except we were in a booth that was one of two they have for parties of six but maybe six short, slim people? Pretty uncomfortable, especially in that corner spot, I spent the whole meal with my arms up over the back of the booth. I’m chubby but the rest of my party were regular sized men and one slim woman and we all felt squashed. But otherwise, a beautiful meal on a lovely day.

Dining at Serea was an absolute delight from start to finish. The service was flawless, with every detail thoughtfully attended to, making us feel welcome and well cared for throughout the meal. The food is an inspired fusion of Mediterranean kebab-style cuisine and high-quality seafood ingredients, offering a fresh homage to Middle Eastern flavors. Each dish is beautifully crafted, showcasing a seamless blend of tradition and innovation. The presentation of the food deserves special mention. Our sea bass was arranged to appear as though the fish was making a sharp U-turn, adding a sense of dynamic movement to the dish—it was almost too beautiful to eat! Taste-wise, the swordfish kebab was sublime, melting in your mouth with each bite. The scallops in the risotto were equally remarkable—silky, tender, and perfectly balanced with the creamy rice.
