"#yolkporn alert — head over to this ritzy restaurant for brunch to get a taste of their famous short ribs with the bonus of poached eggs. If you like what you taste, Nine Ten has a great prix fixe menuto splurge on."
"Bertrand at Mr. 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. Imagine the sunset at dinner time: This is why this restaurant is perpetually voted one of the most romantic places to eat in the city. However, its casual elegance is also welcoming to families (there is no kids menu, however) and you may leave your jacket and tie at home."
"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."
"Located on the 12th floor in a penthouse setting, the iconic, award-winning Bertrand at Mr. A’s is a special occasion dining venue. For over 50 years, the historic dining establishment has been serving American cuisine at its finest. Despite its sweeping skyline with bay and Pacific views, there’s an absolute thrill of excitement when huge descending jetliners roar past diners, practically at eye level."
"Located steps from the beach at Mission Bay, Oceana Coastal Kitchen serves a selection of dishes from land and sea using sustainable, fresh ingredients. Highlights include a 25-foot-long cold bar that serves a selection of oysters, fresh sushi, seafood platters and specialty items, such as yellowtail crudo, sesame sea bass ceviche, king crab legs, tuna carpaccio and more. The focal point of the entire restaurant, however, is an 800-gallon aquarium that is home to fluorescent tropical jellyfish."
"Pacific BeachMultiple millions were spent outfitting this bayfront restaurant in the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa that houses a 25ftcold bar, an 800-gallon aquarium where fluorescent jellyfish float, and an airy patio overlooking Mission Bay. If you’re visiting for lunch, try the Drugstore Burger, a near carbon copy of the famous burger served at The Lodge at Torrey Pines (another luxury hotel property under the same brand as the Catamaran)."
"If you're looking to fill a carbohydrate craving, Devine Pastabilities is the place to go. The restaurant's signature dish is the "Torpasta," an Italian sesame seed sub roll hollowed out and stuffed with pasta. Plates of pasta are also available and gluten-free noodles can be substituted for a small fee."
"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."

"6780 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 459-1895$ | Relaxing Cafe. This quaint coffee shop has been serving up healthy early meals for a while. They specialize in multi-event catering but happily serve smaller parties."
"It is not only delicious food and fantastic views that are waiting for you at Trilogy Sanctuary; it is named that way due to the wellness programs they offer, to advocate balance, harmony, and holistic healthy living. Indeed, the place is a retreat for those who want to relax with friends or even strangers in an open, casual setting. Trilogy Sanctuary is located just by the beach where you can hear the gentle crashes of the waves."
"With a smoothie selection as expansive as its rooftop view of the Pacific Ocean, this yoga-studio-meets-all-day-eatery prides itself on organic and nourishing ingredients. Sit back with a plate of Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos and watch the aerial-silks class, or sign up for a yoga session and refuel with the Nourish Green Bowl afterward. It’s not just a restaurant, Trilogy is truly a vegan sanctuary."
"I love a good healthy vegan cafe and yoga studio combo, and San Diego has a great one called Trilogy Sanctuary. The cafe is located in La Jolla, already one of the most stunning neighborhoods in San Diego. It’s also a rooftop cafe so you can soak up all those sparkling ocean views and San Diego sunshine while filling your body with good ol’ vegan nutrition."
