Absolutely loved the experience, my girlfriend had told me about the restaurant. She loves the early 90s so the vibes of the restaurant was amazing for her, I loved the decor as well as the general ambiance. The vodka pasta was so good, I got the 40oz porterhouse. The outside was grilled perfectly as well as the medium on the inside. The drinks were so good from the Cabernet my girlfriend had to the Gin & Tonic I had were both wonderfully made. 10/10, will absolutely be suggesting this place to every couple we know as THE date night spot in San Diego.

The food was excellent. The service outstanding. Kind people, lovely atmosphere. We should have sat outside but thought it t be too chilly but the design and the heaters in that space would have been sufficient. Will definitely return, even if it is just to have that lamb again. Very yummy.
