    I went to InsideOUT with a few friends the other night and the space itself is definitely the highlight. The inside is so cool and hard to fully describe, but it feels like you're being transported into a tropical oasis. The atmosphere alone makes it worth checking out. As for the food, it was just okay. We ordered the cheese board, Brussels sprouts, tartine, prawns, and the lemongrass chicken. Nothing was bad at all, but nothing really stood out either or felt especially memorable. I'd still go back because the vibe is great, and I've heard they have a fantastic brunch that I'd love to try next time.

    My beautiful friend and the blueberry faux-jito
    Jade C.

    The garden party vibe is beautiful! I loved the greenery, water feature and music playlist. It was so nice seeing everyone out looking good. The service was awesome. Tommy was cool! He was welcoming, helpful, not pushy, made sure we had water at all times... seemed like he really enjoyed working there and interacting with new people. The blueberry faux-jito is absolutely delicious. I am going to try to make at home because it's the perfect summer mocktail. The presentation of drinks was beautiful too. It had blueberry, lemon, a flower and mint as a cute garnish. So thoughtfully placed- loved it! I ordered the filet. Unfortunately, it wasn't a fave. I know I'm not a fan of cooking my own food at restaurants... especially a steak because my husband usually cooks my steak. It took away from me just being able to eat and enjoy. I got so nervous I would over cook it. I cut in slices like they recommended but still didn't enjoy. I felt like I was rushing through so I could eat and focused on cooking so I couldn't talk. If you can't multi-task while out like this then I don't recommend you order this steak. I liked the butter but I wish the steak was seasoned before serving. I had to add my own salt too. Anyways, not my vibe. I enjoyed my hbd chocolate cake which was a total surprise. I grinned so big when he brought it out! This is a very sweet gesture and complete with a lit candle:) My friend ordered the donuts. It comes with four filled donut holes, a whipped cream and espresso. A very good dessert that is not too sweet or too heavy. I've been wanting to come here for awhile so I'm happy to finally try it out and have my mini photoshoot. Lol! I will say this- parking is THE WORST! This area is so busy, has construction going on and lots of people out at night. Be prepared to look for parking and to walk a couple blocks. Lastly, the to go boxes are on the lower end for quality. After having a wonderful experience in which everything was thought through, the to go box was super sad and flimsy. Some might say not that serious but honestly I expected better. Maybe a cute paper bag with two handles to carry your food out as well. Not a deal breaker obviously, but noticeable that the beauty ended at the check. Definitely check this place out!

    A wonderful citrus mocktail

    What a great experience this was. We had a great seat next to the small pond inside the restaurant. We were celebrating my birthday and, just the seating alone, made this a special experience. The server was great. We asked lots of questions and they were answered quickly with great recommendations. We were there for brunch.I had the tender kale & roasted butternut squash scramble. My friend had the simple breakfast. We both really enjoyed our choices. For my birthday, they provided a wonderful chocolate cake. Everything is yummy. I highly recommend making reservations. They get very crowded. Check their hours too. They are unusual and have brunch and dinner on some days.

    Truffle Brussel sprouts & warm garlic Parmesan bread
    Vicky C.

    The restaurant is beautiful with an amazing ambiance and many great photo opportunities. I found the drinks to be fun and tasty, and the food was delicious. However, I did find the bathroom setup quite unusual; the coed design lacks privacy as the interior is visible from the outside. Additionally, the parking situation was very frustrating. It took me 25 minutes to find a spot, and I eventually had to park quite far away to ensure I wasn't late for my reservation. Moving forward, I would recommend that guests use a rideshare service instead of driving.

    Truffle Brussel Sprouts & Ginger Carrot Soup
    Tiffany P.

    If you want a fabulous & whimsical night out, bookmark this spot! This gem is super aesthetic with tons of photo-worthy corners, and just the right mix of fun and elevated. While waiting for our table, we wandered onto the cutest patio and snacked on appetizers on a bench under a canopy of pink trees. Service was vivacious, bubbly, and welcoming. This place felt too good to be true, an absolute dream. The food was memorable too! Ginger Carrot Soup: Warm, cozy, and comforting. A solid start. Truffle Brussels Sprouts: Good, but surprisingly light on the truffle flavor. I wanted a little more oomph here. Double-Boned Chashu Pork Chop: Juicy, savory, and packed with flavor. The buttermilk bread pudding and all the accompaniments (honey miso carrots, cherry mostarda, pistachio) made every bite feel extra indulgent. Easily shareable between two. Can't want to come back!!

    We met up with a friend out here. This place has been on my list for quite some time so I was glad when she recommended it. As soon as you walk in, you are captured by the beautiful parade of cherry blossoms and flowers. It definitely felt like spring when you're in there. Everywhere you look it's a beautiful scene. The bar is beautifully set up where you look through a waterfall. There's open air seating, surrounded by towering buildings. It is multilevel, so it is neat to see the layers of the space. Our server was very welcoming and pleasant. He was on it. He checked on us often. Our drinks tasted great. Perfect balance of a cocktail. I really enjoyed my lychee Martini. We ordered a charcuterie board with meat and cheese, and it was a perfect amount for three of us to enjoy with our drinks. I would recommend coming to this spot to enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather in a beautiful space.

    Avocado toast
    Danielle M.

    Came here on a brunch date and absolutely loved it! The avocado toast was delicious and a very generous serving. The real star was the crumb cake - it was a massive piece of delicious cake, I would definitely come back here just for that! The mimosas and coffee were great too. Overall the ambiance, outdoor seating with fire pits, and beautiful pink cherry blossoms make this a great date or girls night place!

    Caitlin D.

    I don't know why it took me so long to finally check this place out! Came here for brunch and the atmosphere is so fun. They make the inside look like it's outside. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. There were some light rains that came before our reservation, but we still chose to sit on the patio. We initially sat under some trees that still had some water droplets and our waitress tried to shake out the trees, but then just offered to reseat us to a spot without a tree. Eventually when the sun came out they popped up the shade. The food and drinks were good too. My chicken and waffles were amazing! My freind had the chilaquiles and said the pork was cooked so well. They had unique drinks as well. I definitely want to come back for dinner and drinks sometime.

    Cute vibe
    Rachelle G.

    Food: the food was good but wasn't amazing. I did order the salmon though and other patrons seemed to be enjoying the Wagyu hot stone. Maybe I will try it next time. The salmon was a bit overcooked but the cucumbers underneath made it very good. Chips and dip were perfect for the drinks we ordered ( which were very strong) . The donuts and afogato dessert was perfect ending. My husband got the burger and said it was tasty Service: really good service! Very attentive and friendly staff! Ambiance: super chill and the vibe was so cool and whimsical like eating in a Sakura garden! They also had good music! 18+ establishment only .

    It's Spring and you can tell at InsideOUT. Popped in for a drink and and a snack. Service was fine and the atmos is hard to beat. We had a cocktail and the vinegar chips and dip. The dip was tasty but the chips lacked any vinegar taste. They were good and seemed fresh made but very little salt or other flavor. The drinks were very good.

    This place is such a beautiful reminder of how dining out can be a memorable experience. insideOUT is where you come to impress your date, friends or fam and can confidently deliver a gorgeous ambiance, incredible service, and finger licking delicious food.

    Chicken and waffles
    Ailin J.

    Was surprised how much we loved coming here Saturday morning! The restaurant is beautiful, calming with the waterfall, and had extra friendly staff! The food was tasty! The chicken and waffles is a must, the chicken is crispy but moist inside, waffles had a great sweet and spicy flavor. The shakshuka had a huge depth of flavor, very peppery, and rich. Easily slurped it up. Not just trendy, actually great experience!

There isn't a dedicated dance floor so people are just dancing wherever there's space. You can get on the guest list through their website for free bar/club entry before 10pm. After 10pm, there is a cover fee of $20 per person. It was quiet around 930pm when we arrived but it got pretty busy by 1030pm and crowded by 1130pm. Note: the back night club area opens at 11pm. If you come before then, only the front bar area is open. They apparently serve food as well but we didn't try it this time. I felt service was great from the bartenders to security to the servers. The DJ was playing awesome hip hop music which was perfect for the vibe. They even have a professional photographer who takes your photo. If you like it, it's $20 for your picture in a frame. Two things that can make it even better: - wish there was a bigger dance floor for those without tables to enjoy the music and dance - wish there was more than 2 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom. With hundreds of people inside, the line can get pretty long.
