By the time I walked in, I felt like I had already burned off dessert. Service with Space The service was chill and patient--no pressure, no hovering. I was offered suggestions, politely declined, and eventually made up my mind like the independent vegan foodie I pretend to be. Food Chronicles I dove into the Mystical Mushroom Quesadilla with walnut meat. Now, let me confess: this was my first time eating walnut meat, it was an interesting experience... a little sweeter than my taste buds were emotionally prepared for, but hey--growth! I'll have to try it without the walnut meat next time. The real showstopper..The kale chips. I'm pretty sure they were kale chips, but honestly they tasted like crispy little blessings from above. Heaven-sent. Then came the Loving Lasagna, and WOW. Extremely good. The sauces were divine, like they'd been whisked by angels with excellent seasoning skills. I absolutely recommend it--10/10, would eat again and again.

This place is a huge no for me. We came here and after waiting several minutes at the register with…read moreno greeting, it was extremely disappointing. We stood there patiently whole overhearing a whole conversation between two workers who had more time to converse with each other, than to see what was going on in the front of their establishment. Just chatting with each other and not a care in the world that there were two very excited people up front waiting to see what they had to offer as first time customers. Sadly, they had nothing to offer except awkward stares and silence when he arrived to the front. We never even heard a hello. Just stared quietly without saying anything. So sad to see how we, as the melanated community will be treated coming to this place. We drove about 2 hours for this and were highly disappointed by the way we felt othered by them. I wouldn't recommend coming here with your family or loved ones. Sadly that trip was a huge waste of time. If I could give zero stars I would have. There is no PEACE in your PIES.

I love their menu, lots of different flavors and options to choose from. My go-to is the Evo Burger with the black bean patty, which is always so good. Service is fast, and they even have a drive-thru in the back, which is super convenient. I've always dined in, and while they share space with another vegan restaurant so seating can be a bit limited, there's still usually enough. Parking is easy, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot for quick, flavorful vegan food.

Non vegan reviewer here…read more The fysh tacos had a nice crunch to it but lacked salt/ fishiness taste. Majority of the flavor came from the chipotle cashew cream sauce and guac. Maybe it would taste better if they added lime slices on the side. Took about 10 minutes from ordering at counter to receiving food. Most likely wouldn't order fysh tacos again. Saw a lot of people ordering dishes with fries in it. Maybe get that instead next time. There are very few tables indoor and a few tables outdoor, recommend for small groups only. Shares parking lot with Donna Jean restaurant.

I came here because of the two Yelp reviews, so I was a little hesitant…read more We were seated right away and our server was pretty good and attentive. This is not your high end seafood place. This place is very efficient and the food came out very quickly. **Dont ask for straws because they did away with it to protect the environment. Pretty cool. They said they will eventually get rid of styrofoam too. They do not sell alcohol here. Seafood and beer goes well together but not here. (Sad emoji) We ordered the aguachiles which was very good, a ceviche tostada with fish and shrimp which was ok, and a seafood platter which was pretty good. There are better places but if you want a quick fix, this is your place to go. You will be seated under a patio setting so if the weather is nice, then you will be fine. If the weather is hot, you will feel it. Another thing that bothered me was the flies. You have to constantly shoo them away. I came to try it but I personally wont be back.

Have not been since remodel and new chef / menu. Happy to say still one of my favorite "date night"…read morerestaurants in San Diego (dad / daughter date this time) We had the bread (delicious, a hint of citrus in the loaf I think) and the main lobster cocktail to start - lobster was semi-hands on to get to claws to make it interactive. Perhaps a dip or preparation with the tamale would have improved? Mains were catch of the day (halibut and ahi) plus sides. Fish was simply grilled but cooked perfectly, asparagus was a standout side as cooked perfectly crisp with a nice char topped with an amazing green goddess sauce. Mushrooms were surprisingly large portion. Frites were perfect as frites could be. The ambiance is the same as I remember but the place feels a bit more elegant with updated lighting, table side lanterns. and a bit more "swank" to banquettes and brass / wood molding. Service was prompt and fun. All in all everything it has always been as a SD institution. Note to Somm / Bev Mgr: You CLEARLY have an issue with Chardonnay, and I respect that statement (a quirk shared across CH restaurants, try finding vodka or ketchup at C&C). I would only say that if you have an issue with Chardonnay and only have one by glass and one by bottle on the list, it should be French and not CA. (Maybe a Chablis or Pouilly Fuisse by the glass and a 1er cru by bottle?) Seems like if you're going to be bold and snub Chardonnay (at a fish / seafood establishment no less) you should fully commit to your boldness and not pussyfoot with a CA bottle to appease those looking for something assembling a butter bomb (to be fair, the glass selection was an unoaked stainless steel variety) Besides, if you went French you wouldn't even have to have the word "Chardonnay" on your wine list :) PS: I went by the glass with 1er cru champagne and a morgon which was perfect with the grilled halibut and stood up to the asparagus. You're the best, love your establishment and I will be back

The reviews here say the service is friendly and good and they are right! Jenny looked after us and we both really liked her! Vibrant and friendly. Mixed drinks were ok. I wasn't thrilled with my watermelon one (I forget the name) but the wine i had after was excellent. For dinner I had the smoked pork chop and I have to say, it was a little odd. Ive never had meat or pork especially that was so soft and mushy? I mean I kinda liked it but it was just so weird. I was trying to figure out how they did that because usually pork has a nice chew to it. You could eat this with no teeth and thats no exaggeration. The sauce kinda overpowers the nice smoked pork flavor. The rice was amazing- made with sesame oil or something. My wife had the salmon and loved it. Huge dish too. Oh their ceasar salad has the big ancovy fishes on top - not my favorite but some places do this. Just FYI. Some other review mentioned it looked like a concrete bunker with flowers. Ha I can see that but we both thought the place was cute! Very loud though! Concrete walls and stone bar wall - even when it wasn't busy its hard to hear your friends. So I don't know. I'd go back maybe?

The eggplant itself was so well cooked - it practically melted in your mouth. And at first I thought strawberries on top of a fried eggplant sounded super weird, but wow it worked - the sweetness from the strawberries (warm/slightly cooked) paired with the slightly bitter pieces of grapefruit and the salty capers... just wow. I don't really have any other words to describe it! Go here and order this if you are in Valle de Guadalupe! The setting is very pretty; lots of tables outdoors with great views of the valley/mountains. I wish they had a little bit larger wine selection since they're right there at Vena Cava but still overall a great meal that I'd highly recommend!
