- SShandaSan Diego •1 review4.0Dined 1 day agoHad to continue to listen to the child screeching next to us. Which kinda put a damper on celebrating my husband’s birthday. A little disappointed by that but everything else was perfect like alwaysMore infoCowboy StarPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown / Gaslamp•4.9
- SSeanSan Diego •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoOverall a great experience. I was entertaining some colleagues and a business partner in town for a conference as a local and they thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Several of our dishes were great. Most notably the hot oil seared salmon that our server recommended and spicy garlic noodles. I wasnt really a fan of the meatball and spicy shrimp plates (but I may be biased having had similar dishes in the past) We arrived almost 30 minutes and the host Erika was exceptionally welcoming and got us seated promptly which was awesome. Definitely would come back, great for a date night or entertaining guests.More infoKettner ExchangePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Little Italy•4.7
- LLynnvipGrand Rapids / Western Michigan •54 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe were greeted nicely. I fell down on the way to the restaurant and hurt my finger. The restaurant staff offered me a bandaid and some cream. They also checked on me during our meal! That’s an excellent compliment to them!

- JJillSan Diego •5 reviews5.0Dined on 15 Nov 2024We cannot say enough good things about Harley Gray! Prices were terrific and very good quality! First, we sat at the bar for a drink and a beet hummus appetizer (so delicious) during happy hour. Nick, the bartender, was so welcoming and attentive. Then we sat at our table for their Live Main Lobster dinner (on Thursday nights) that was cooked to perfection, served with a side of rice. My partner also ordered a side of green beans that he loved. We were pleasantly full by the end of the meal so we didn't have room for dessert...next time! We plan to return often, especially to try their other specials!!More infoHarley Gray Kitchen & BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Mission Hills•4.7
