20 Best places to eat and drink in San Diego
"Nine-Ten (located within the Grande Colonial Hotel) offers an unparalleled dining experience day of the year, November 22nd being no exception!. This year they are offering a three-course, prix-fixe meal for $75 per person ($110 with wine pairings). In addition to the chefs’ dedication to using only the freshest local products, their innovative and creative style guarantees a unique meal that’s worth the visit."

"One of the most popular fine dining La Jolla restaurants is definitely Eddie V’s. It’s popular for date nights but we also like the happy hour on the Pacific Ocean view patio. You’ll dine on some of the finest seafood and hand-cut steaks with panoramic ocean views in the cozy dining room, intimate bar (with live jazz music) or on the outdoor terrace."
"Located near La Jolla Cove, guests in this restaurant are always pleased to find picturesque views while indulging, and some fine dishes. For starters, they have a crab and corn chowder, Maine lobster bisque, and a chilled Gulf shrimp cocktail style of soup. In addition, there are three variants of sandwiches and various authentic local entrees."
"Sure, La Jolla’s beachside location lends itself to upscale dining, cliffside restaurants and seafood-centric menus, but that doesn’t mean it’s not home to great tacos, too. At Puesto, the three Adler brothers pack hand-pressed blue-corn tortillas with crispy melted cheese, garlic-braised seasonal veggies, al pastor, cactus and even lobster and filet mignon. It’s one of the area’s most colorful settings—decorated with neon murals and Mexican tiles—and sports a handful of vibrant and fun margaritas to match."
"If tacos and margaritas are what you are looking for, this may be the spot for you!. Offering happy hour Monday – Friday from 3:00 – 5:00 pm, this casual spot features $4 tacos and $9 Puesto Perfect Margaritas. They are known for their fish tacos and local favorites include the Maine Lobster, Chicken Al Pastor and the Zucchini and Cactus options."
"A wee, squat building that isn’t going to dazzle with sweeping skyline views, Amplified more than makes up for its height by being just steps off the beach. It bears along some sweet ocean breezes that complement the homemade beers nicely. Have a kebab and a Treble Tripel, and we’ll await your thanks."
"This charming house-turned-restaurant looks like it was designed by Little Red Riding Hood after puffing on some Cali bud (example: there are sheep grazing on the ceiling of the dining room, for some reason). The semi-covered side patio and umbrella covered yard tables are perfect for a mid-afternoon sangria or a beer. If you choose to sit out a round, try the sun tea that’s brewed right on the porch."
"Address: 1557 Columbia St, San Diego, CA 92101Phone: (619) 546-0444Website. Queenstown Pub in Little Italy has one of the most charming outdoor patios in downtown. The shabby chic farmhouse decor makes you want to choose their patio year round."

"Tony’s Wings in North Clairemont and Absurd Bird and Chicken Wing Co. in Carmel Mountain are some of the more affordable places from which to order Fast Food delivery. For other places in San Diego with budget-friendly options, look out for the places with one “$” as you browse."

"Many families who need to be near UC San Diego stay at this gorgeous Spanish-style hotel with its stunning gardens, spa, and pool. The dining is also good at Estancia La Jolla and I am a fan of organic margaritas at Mustang y Burros. (Location: UC San Diego/Torrey Pines)"
