I booked outdoor seating on the app and when I arrived I was told the outdoor seating was a private event. We were then given a basic table inside. The restaurant and OpenTable need to be more in tune with each other.

Our original server just forgot about us. She had another table near us that also was forgotten. We chatted with them and both had same stories. Didn’t ruin our prePadres game but made us go find another server to take our food order after original server brought us our drinks. We could see original server walking around and chatting with other coworkers but she would just stare over at us and wouldn’t acknowledge us calling her over. She was 30-35ish and it just seemed odd that she avoided us two tables and never came back. We ultimately had to go find a new server. He was awesome but who wouldn’t be compared to our 1st server. Doubtful we ever return to this place.

Perfect place to watch the game and enjoy some adult beverages! Fairly kid friendly, we brought our almost 12-month old and he enjoyed watching the big screens. Outdoor area too for the pups.

As soon as the waitress came to the table she announced our server was on break but she would do us a favor and start a drink order. The app was not working and when I mentioned that she was very condescending asking if she could help me. I happily agreed then she realized it did not work that I’m not stupid. Got us a crumbled up paper menu for a table of 6 to share. She ended up being our server for the entire experience. The food came quickly but was luke warm and the fish and chips were horrific. Chicken bowl was bad. Nobody enjoyed and it felt like we were imposing. Fun location next to hall game but won’t ever go again

Was a great spot to sit on the patio and listen to the concert at Gallagher Square / Petco Park. The big fish was a big disappointment. Told the waitress and her response was "I didn't cook it".

Good night, good food. Taylor was our server. She was fantastic and so fun! The patio opens up to the back of the ballpark, so we were able to hear the game and watch it in the televisions in the bar. The umami burger was DELICIOUS! And there were several gluten-free items for my friend to choose from. Fun spot! Would definitely go back!
