Top Best American Restaurants in Mount Helix

"A's just might be one of the best places to enjoy a skyline view of downtown San Diego, Coronado, Balboa Park and Point Loma, with the occasional plane landing or taking off from the airport. The sunsets are spectacular and part of the reason why this restaurant is perpetually voted one of the most romantic places to eat in the city. Modern American cuisine is on the menu though dishes change based on seasonality of locally-sourced ingredients."

"It's always adult swim here—this is where the well-heeled grown-ups linger over their foie gras for at least a few hours. To wit: Mister A's requests business casual attire (collared shirts and closed-toe shoes for men) before 4:30 p.m. But that also means the fine dining at this institution is above reproach."

"An elegant dining room is enhanced by jaw-dropping city views that peer out over to the harbour. At night, you can sip on champagne and watch the city light up in a twinkling display of beauty. Crisp white linen and high-backed chairs ensure the entire evening is an elegant affair."

"At last, the undisputed king of Instagrammable restaurants in San Diego!. Zagat said it better than I can:. “An all-day menu of chicken- and egg-based dishes – including fried chicken, chicken sandwiches and deviled eggs (plus a full bar) – are served at this corrugated metal–clad Little Italy counter by the team behind Juniper & Ivy."

"Crack Shack is the closest humanity has gotten to building an actual temple to fried chicken and eggs. This place in Little Italy is a bit gimmicky, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious. They have a huge patio and serve a bunch of really good chicken sandwiches."

"Located next door to Juniper and Ivy, The Crack Shack is another of Chef Richard Blais' creations. It's comfort food thanks to locally-raised, free-range, antibiotic-free chicken and creative recipes."

"That's right, Juniper + Ivy is owned by the winner of Bravo TV's Top Chef, none other than Richard Blais. If you've seen him on TV you know that Richard is the molecular gastronomical guy - you know, the guy who likes to deconstruct and transform ingredients into new forms. Just saying because if you see things like Corn Dog or Mac N Cheese on the menu you should know upfront that the food they bring out might not exactly match your experience from the past."

"A practitioner of ingredient-driven, “left-coast cookery”, the fine dining restaurant is operating a lovely extended outdoor dining room called Under the Stars as well as offering the Juniper and Ivy “at Home” experience from chef Anthony Wells."

"Fiancé and I had our anniversary dinner here, and staff definitely made it feel special with a warm welcome from multiple staff members and a champagne t..."

"Studio Diner is open late-night (round-the-clock from Thursday through Sunday and until midnight during the rest of the week) and set on a working studio lot in the Kearny Mesa business district. The menu features a wide array of great selections, made from only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Try the turkey Reuben sandwich, T-bone steak and eggs, patty melt or other hearty fare but be sure to save room for Yo Mama's apple pie or decadent carrot cake."

"You'll feel like you've gone back in time in this classic movie-themed diner-style restaurant when you walk into Studio Diner. Their menu consists of American classics and even an "East Coast Specials Menu.". So if you find yourself vacationing in SD (or if you already live here) and can't decide what to eat, take some advice from Guy Fieri himself and try out one of these San Diego restaurants."

"Only a few steps from the water in Solana Beach, Wild Note Cafe is a neighborhood bistro with a friendly vibe. It's one of the most fun restaurants in San Diego. “Unrestrainable Cu..."

"Highly praised in many culinary publications, this restaurant rolls out the red carpet for fine dining and memorable, luxurious meals. While it is a nationwide chain, Truluck’s seafood San Diego is a crowning jewel among La Jolla restaurants for its superior seafood and five-star service. Submerge yourself in the sumptuous ambiance and live music while celebrating some of the best seafood you’ll ever taste."

"Truluck's La Jolla has been recognized by many of San Diego's local publications for a good reason. Come hungry, because you'll want it all from crab claws to Lobster Bisque to perfectly cooked prime cuts of steak with sauce choices such as Chimichurri. Truly "a getaway for the senses," pull your car up to the valet at the Aventine, right in front of the restaurant, and stay for a leisurely meal."

"Dining at Truluck’s is more than a meal - it’s a truly romantic occasion. Every night they feature local entertainers in the lounge and also have a cocktail hour to keep your wine ..."

"In-N-Out Burger is just a classic fast food chain out West, it originated in California in 1948. It’s famous because the chain has barely changed since then. Stepping into an In-N-Out Burger will take you back to the 40’s with its interior design, same small menu, similar prices, and high quality!"

"The long-standing local favorite specializes in farm-to-table gastro style eats that take diners from lunch and happy hour through to dinner. Highlights from executive chef Ronnie Schwandt’s menu include the housemade charcuterie board, Black Sheep Farms strawberry salad, and Salt Spring Island mussels. San Diego microbrews are championed too with a range of on-tap options and craft beer flights."

"If you’re looking for a farm-to-table approach to dining, Leroy’s offers a truly locavore experience!. Sit inside in their cozy dining room or on their outdoor patio where you can watch people stroll along Orange Avenue while enjoying delicious American cuisine. They feature rotating local artist’s work on their walls and have an impressive craft beer and cocktail menu."
