   It was the most wonderful restaurant! The menu is very diversified and had some vegan dishes. The ambience was lovely! Right in La Jolla shores. My family will definitely be back!

   You guys made my friend’s birthday celebration. Incredible. Thank you so much. We celebrated the birthdays of the Surf Diva ladies and it was so fun!

   Not impressed! The service was super bad. Long waits for service, drinks and food. Food not impressed, it was simply ok. Our server was super charming and sweet but super slow in getting to us. We literally had to ask for someone to clean our table from dishes and drink glasses sitting around. I don’t think we’ll be back.

   There were a few delays in getting service, but the server was really nice. Food was good, but pricey.

   Been here multiple times and never disappointed! The quality of the food and drinks is top notch, as well as the decor during certain holidays or seasons.

   It was very busy on Valentine's day which made the service slow. My soup came to the table before my wine. My server Casey was sweet and as attentive as possible. The steak was a bit tough but I could tell it was seasoned well.

   This is our second time dining at Barbarella. Our first time was fantastic. Last night (Valentine’s Day)- we wish we had gone somewhere else. The entire restaurant was so cute- however, they stuck us in the back room. Our table was still dirty when they sat us… 5 minutes later, someone came by to clean it. Then they brought us plastic water cups? It was so odd. Our candle was never lit. The food was good. The service was meh. Honestly, we won’t be back..

    We ordered steak and a chicken parm. We also order French onion soup and a Cobb salad. French onion soup - 7.5/10 Cobb salad - 5/10 Chicken parm - 2/10 (the gnocchi and chicken tasted like it was frozen and then microwaved. Quality was very very poor) Steak - 6/10 (mashed potatoes were 5/10, green beans were cold 2/10) Overall very disappointed in the food quality. The service was average. Ambience was fine. I did like how they made it a theme for the holiday.
