San Diego – The Perfect Itinerary for First-Timers
"The wine selection here is highly various on a global level. Feel like you’re on a vineyard in Spain or gazing at mountains in New Zealand while sampling wines from these lands. If you’re a true wine lover, take note: Wednesdays all bottles are half off!"
"910 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 964-5400Make Your Reservations Here$$ | Seasonal Cuisine. In the Grande Colonial Hotel, there is a Michelin reviewed restaurant named Nine-Ten. They interestingly don’t have a set style of cuisine."
"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."
"A little ways outside of downtown, there’s nothing that compares to the view of Mister A’s. Big ol’ jet airliners will ride past on approach and departure, using the ocean as backdrop with the city skyline showing off its wares. The hype is real, with the food and drinks perfecting the tableau."
"Look no further than Mister A’s, one of the most romantic restaurants in San Diego!. It is the penthouse, fine-dining destinatio..."
"Iron Pig’s lunch special costs $7.99 for half a large sandwich, side of your choosing and a pickle (the pulled pork on brioche with slow smoked beans is a great option), plus a $4 beer from around 15 off the happy hour list. The smoked taco trio ($9.99) and smoked brisket ‘mansalad’ are also noteworthy menu mentions."

"The buzz:The Puffer/Malarkey Collective’s finally reopens with a dynamic new culinary director.The food: Now under the helm of acclaimed chef Tara Monsod, it has a lighter, more Southeast Asian focused menu. Sip a Chai Paloma (tequila, coconut chai, cinnamon, grapefruit) alongside savory uni shrimp toast or sweet and sour cauliflower. Then explore the sake menu while you indulge in A5 Wagyu, Shanghai crab noodles with snap peas, garlic chili butter, and cilantro, or Kare Kare Short Ribs with green beans, and eggplant.The cost: Hot and cold starters are $7-22, entrees go for $24-69, cocktails are $14-19, beer and wine by the glass are $8-25, and sake flights run $25.How to book: Make reservations for indoor dining via OpenTable."
"Money can't buy happiness but it can buy you and your someone special a palate-pleasing pan-Asian feast of Korean fried chicken, 45-day dry-aged rib eye, Ora king salmon with pomegranate ponzu, or a variety of delicious crudos at "Top Chef" contestant Brian Malarkey’s latest entry in the San Diego fine dining scene. The space, a $5.5 million project, is awash in sumptuous shades of gold, chartreuse, and coral from the elegant chandeliers to the custom carpeting. Both can be admired while sipping something from the quality Japanese whisky collection."
"Our famous chain of fish taco restaurants, Rubio’s, has a rather nice dine-in space here with beer and wine options. Ralph Rubio is a La Jollan. Local kids like the kids’ meal with a folded up quesadilla and churro."
"Moniker General is another hyphenate concept shop; this time it's coffee, beer, and a lifestyle boutique. The retail selection spans a wide range of best-in-class goods from small things for the home to men's and women's apparel and accessories, bicycles, and even handmade furniture. When you're done shopping, pop across the street for beers and food at Stone Brewing, or check out the multivendor Liberty Public Market."
"Moniker General is a gorgeous lifestyle, home goods, eyewear, custom furniture, and gift retailer next to the Moniker Coffee Co. and the Moniker Cocktail Co. It has a carefully designed aesthetic that is bright, airy, and eclectic. You’ll have some magnificent photos taken in this well-lit, beautiful space."
"Located in Point Loma’s Liberty Station, this multi-concept boutique is as much a place to hang as it is to shop. There’s a café serving locally roasted coffee and artisanal toasts, as well as a 1950s-style cocktail bar with..."
"4993 Niagara Ave San Diego, CA 92107http://www.obnoodlehouse.com/. OB Noodle House Bar 1502 was voted San Diego’s Best Asian Fusion Restaurants and for good reason!. It is one of two locations in Ocean Beach, but Bar 1502 has revamped the style and atmosphere."
"C Level Lounge is the more casual of the two, but has a similar menu to Island Prime. You'll want to sit outside on the patio during lunch for fantastic sunshine-filled views over the San Diego Bay. Note that Island Prime is only open for dinner, but it's a fashionable destination for dinner or drinks with enchanting skyline views, a wealth of trendy cocktails, and flawless service."
