A nice place for dinner! We sat outside at a table facing the road with a fire pit. The vibe of the restaurant was really cute! There was no wait on a Sunday around 7:00 pm. As others have mentioned, service was quite slow, but our waitress was very nice and well versed on the menu. We ordered the New Zealand Meat pie, which comes with a “tomato chutney” which tasted similar to a BBQ sauce. The Meso Tasty sandwich was good, but came with a wasabi aioli which we didn’t care for (but it was on the side so no big deal). The Cobb Salad was above average! Overall a cute place with pretty good food!
This restaurant is absolutely AMAZING, from the food to the service to the environment and everything in between. I had the lamb burger, which was one of the absolute best burgers I’ve ever had, and my fiancé had fish and chips that were out of this world amazing! The E-Legal cookie for dessert is to die for as well!! Our server Keith was an absolute gem, so pleasant and kind and attentive with wonderful service and great recommendations! If you are looking for a local restaurant in San Diego with delicious unique cuisine and amazing vibes and service, come here! You won’t be disappointed! 😁
We went to this restaurant in the middle of the week, and when we got to the door, we remembered that we had actually tried this place many years ago. I have to say I was surprised by their wine—I chose the Pinot Noir, and if I come back to this restaurant again, it will definitely be for that excellent wine. They had really good and varied appetizers. I’m not much of a lamb person myself, so I didn’t really enjoy their menu that much, but we went because my husband loves lamb. And from my husband’s perspective, everything was absolutely delicious.
Absolutely loved the atmosphere, food, and service. We enjoyed the sausage roll appetizer—the puff pastry was perfect and the sausage w fennel was delicious. My friend had the lamb skewers and said the meat was tender and flavorful. I had the spaghetti squash and it was amazing. We shared the lemon dessert—loved the addition of the ginger cookies, animal crackers, and berries. Our waiter was a delight! We sat outside and it was perfect w the heat lamp. Would absolutely return!
I came here for a Sunday night dinner, sat quickly with a reservation. The calamari and brussel sprouts were amazing. The Brussels had a delicious sauce, and was more in the sweet side then savory. The calamari was nice and juicy, and I like the roasted lemon it came with. I was a bit disappointed that they were out of lamb skewers, so instead I ordered the lamb burger. The meat is delicious, but I find that the burger just had a little too much going on for my taste. Came with some tastey dips. Service was excellent and informative. We had a lot of questions and our server was attentive. I also thought the decor was really cute. I’d love to come back for brunch.
