Such an incredible view. I highly recommend sitting outside....even if there is a wait. It's worth your time, trust me! They have a large menu so it's highly likely that anyone can find something to eat here. I first noticed the delicious looking Mac N Cheese some kids were eating when I was being shown to my table. Our party of 2 had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon shortly after I arrived in San Diego. We first grabbed a coupe of ice teas at the bar and brought that to our table when we were seated. Not a long wait at all. We started with an order of Calamari, which seems to be fried and tossed or stir fried with basil if I'm correct. I had the roasted organic jidori chicken ziti as my main course (local Campari tomatoes, grilled artichoke hearts, shallots, and crisp pancetta)...not the best item I could have ordered here. The order comes with a side of house chips and pickle. I thought it was okay, but not amazing. The sandwich was a bit dry, and the chips didn't have a whole lot of flavor (a little more seasoning would have made it great).
Service was average, but not great. Our server was waiting on several tables and wasn't very attentive. When our forks were cleared after eating the appetizers, it took a while to get some new ones because we couldn't find him. There was also a mistake on our bill and we couldn't find him for that either. We eventually waved down someone who I'm guessing was a supervisor and explained to him that we were double charged for our iced teas. it was corrected.
It was a good experience. I'd totally come back here for lunch or dinner. I think it would be a great place for a romantic date. I'm serious.
Parking is a bit funny. While there were plenty of spaces, they seem to be facing the wrong direction. They don't want you driving down the direction in which your car is facing/parked.
