    Overrated. Overall, it's just another hotel restaurant. Overpriced too!

    Service was great and it was early in the evening around 6pm so it was very quiet. Veggie risotto was OK and Salmon was good. It was very quiet in a quiet business district for downtown SD on a Friday night. Good for a hotel restaurant but also overpriced like one.

    This is our second time in the restaurant and third time at this location. We found eating in the restaurant is much better than the lounge area. Even though there are only a few selections on the menu we found everything we tried was excellent. The music in both locations was quirky, but not too loud in the restaurant while we dined compared to the lounge area.

    Great place. We'd return again. When we arrived, we were the only other couple in the restaurant. We chose to sit outside instead because of the weather. Great location, great service, and good food. We used the Travelzoo Deal and thought that it was worth the money.

    It's a shame what has happened to this restaurant as far as the quality of food goes. We used to eat dinner here once a week for the great food and great service. Well, the service is still great, but the quality of the food has significantly deteriorated although the prices remain high. This restaurant needs a new chef.
