The restaurant is too cold to be comfortable to enjoy dinner. You have to sit under the heaters for any comfort at all and they become very hot, would not go there again.

Thanksgiving buffet food was atrocious. Stuffing was so bad. Not sure how you can’t make an average stuffing or mac and cheese.

I think the relaunch of this restaurant was much needed. The food has improved (with the exception of the calamari). It was not a busy night when we went, but the service was quite slow. The sushi is a good addition to the menu. Would recommend.

Food was delicious and service was very good, despite being quite slow. It’s a good place to go when you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and the company of your party. It’s a little on the pricey side. Ambience is nice and they have multiple space heaters on the patio.

The best place in San Diego for a nice dinner and high end movie experience . Service was great . Would be nice if they had a few more vegan options on their menu for my wife . But she was able to find something so it was fine . Definitely recommend coming here for dinner and a movie .

I had never been to Zentrl, so I was a bit apprehensive to invite an out of town guest to go to some place I had never been. But what a very pleasant surprise! The restaurant was great. The decor is beautiful and the service was spot on. Not too intrusive, but attentive. We had the coconut shrimp, the ahi tuna tacos, and sushi and it was all great! I will go back and I highly recommend! Oh, and plenty of easy street parking!
