    What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely incredible, our server Nova was fantastic the whole night and the ambience was awesome. We could not recommend this place any more highly. This is a must go if you are a local in San Diego or just visiting! Beef wellington was delicious, the seabass risotto was possibly the best dish we have ever had.

    Love that this hotel is offering a buffet! Second year in a row we came for the Mother's Day Buffet. It is so nice it is outside and there is plenty of food choices. No big lines and the tables are spread out enough you can walk through with no problem.
