San Diego's Best Restaurants: Locally Sourced, Sustainable and Spectacular
"This casually elegant restaurant with indoor seating or sidewalk tables on Prospect Street offers a unique seasonal style of California cuisine dictated by the local harvest. Happy hour is offered Monday – Friday from 3:30 – 6:30 pm and features a ½ priced bar food menu, $5 glasses of red and white wine and $2 off all beers. We recommend the Harissa Grilled Shrimp Toast with avocado and the Lamb Meatballs; both are reasons we’d return again."
"This award-winning fine dining restaurant in the Grande Colonial Hotel has a menu dependent on the seasons, as ingredients are locally-sourced. That makes every visit an exciting one. In my mind, you can never go wrong with risotto, a standby on the menu featuring ingredients of the season."
"Situated in the Grande Colonial Hotel, diners immediately notice the chic decor as they walk into NINE-TEN. Offering an elegant dining experience, this beloved local restaurant foc..."
"Mister A’s offers guests a classy ambiance with white table cloths, excellent service, and breathtaking views of downtown San Diego, you can even see planes flying overhead!. This upscale restaurant has a large menu and serves impeccable food and cocktails perfect for any occasion. They even have a Valentine's Day special, be sure to check it out."
"Visit Bertrand at Mister A’s primarily for the panoramic view of Hillcrest, Midtown, and Downtown. Sip your drink and become one with the city of San Diego. They serve lip-smacking American cuisine with French and Mediterranean influence."
"Look no further than Mister A’s, one of the most romantic restaurants in San Diego!. It is the penthouse, fine-dining destinatio..."
"A post shared by The Old Spaghetti Factory (@oldspaghettifactory) on Jul 20, 2018 at 7:56am PDT. This unique Italian restaurant features antique lighting, exquisitely stained glass displays, big, colorful booths and a trolley car to dine in. Their three-course meals are not just for adults, kids 12 and under get to enjoy it too."
"Owned and operated by Sicilian chef Vincenzo Lo Verso, Osteria Panevino is located in the historic Gaslamp District. The breakfast menu offers egg dishes, waffles, pancakes, and a unique breakfast pizza, while soups, salads, sandwiches, and a selection of entrees are available for lunch. Dinner brings even more options, including appetizers, risotto, pizza, and pasta with gluten-free alternatives."
"Osteria Panevino is the oldest Italian restaurant in San Diego’s Gaslamp district and offers authentic Tuscan food themes – including fresh bread, pasta, and desserts. Relish the delectable ossobuco, stuffed Portobello caprese sandwich, or the spinach and cheese ravioli. They also serve an award-winning collection of domestic and Italian wines."
"Board and Brew has been a staple in Del Mar since 1979 that serves simple sandwiches with no preservatives, no substitutes and no frozen meats. The secret sauce is another hook that tastes good on any sandwich. But try the Baja Chicken with marinated chicken breast, bacon, and melted jack cheese on a toasted French baguette with mayo, tomato and lettuce."
"Love bringing the office donuts from yum yum! Always such a wide variety in the mornings and no line to wait in!"
"The name may make it sound like a bakery, which it is; it just happens to have a fantastic selection of beers that are all on draft, as well!. It’s nestled in the La Jolla Shores area, so it’s the perfect spot to hit on a beach day. After a day of surfing and swimming in the Pacific, there’s truly nothing like a crisp, refreshing beer."
"I use to like this buffet but it has gone downhill recently. There is another choice in Pacific Beach that is way better."
"We waited nearly one hour in line on a Monday around 2 pm, and after all that we get seated take our order. We wait over an hour and the wa..."
