I had to leave a review right away bc I was so impressed by this place. First of all, they are…read moreextremely dog friendly. The inside is gorgeous and there's a spot especially for dogs outside. Their outdoor seating with patio is beautiful! This place is absolutely divine! At this point, I dont really care about how the food tastes. Lol! Let's start off with the one problem i had with this place. The parking!!! It took me 20m to find parking and im not about to park my car on the street. I have precious dogs! Lol kidding. I just couldn't find any parking on the street or in the block! I suppose i came during lunch which is probably really busy. When I left, there were quite a few opened parking spots. This place is connected to an apartment complex surrounding retail stores. The leasing building is right next to Gravity Heights. I used to rent a 4k+ a month apartment in a retail area and let me tell you, its a hassle to find parking and not take a retail parking spot without having your complex email you everyday about your car potentially being towed lol! I understand this pain. Now that we are past that, let's get to why this place deserves 5 stars. The service is excellent! My server came around at the perfect times and they seem to really care if I enjoyed my meal! The stellar atmosphere with attentive service is enough for me! I got a gravity burger protein style which I dont think did the burger justice. I was going to eat with my husband later at a Vietnamese restaurant and I can only choose one carb for the day. My diabetic life is tough! Lol. I chose the Cesar salad to go with my burger. My burger was delicious bc of the caramelized onions. I didn't really taste a sauce in the burger but the excellent bacon with the much needed caramelized onions made the burger fantastic! The IPA hazy beer i had with my meal was also light and mellow. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and meal. My babies also enjoyed their burger! The weather was perfect today and it was a nice time and to think I was not going to eat here bc the parking definitely was a huge deterrent. Next time ill bring human company!

I had a very nice lunch with a friend here. I ordered the Lemon Chicken Kale Salad for $21, and my…read morefriend ordered the white Wild Mushroom Pizza for $22. Our server "Hunter" offer good hospitality and service. She was friendly and had a good sense of humor. The lady at the front was also very nice. The chicken kale salad was very good. It was a little overly dressed with the sesame dressing but it sure was a tasty dressing. The salad came with tender chunks of chicken, a small amount of feta cheese, and zesty dill cucumbers, The avocado and radishes were nice, but I wish the salad came with more of the crispy chickpeas. They were great! I need to get a side of them next time. My friend stated his pizza was very good. He liked that the whole garlic cloves the pizza came with were roasted to a soft edible texture. The pizza did look quite good. Gravity Heights is a great place for large parties or a casual date. There's plenty of inside and outside seating.

I am honestly surprised I have not written a review for this place yet, I found this place in 2021…read more I bring visitors here all the time, and it has become my ultimate comfort food spot. I tend to keep it simple and order the same items every time. My go to is the crispy Brussels for $14 and the chicken sandwich for $16, and I usually rotate in the parmesan fries for $10. While they do offer other dishes that are worth trying, these favorites always keep me coming back. The service and ambiance are consistently great. It is located in Hillcrest, so the area is always lively, which adds to the overall experience. The energy, combined with the quality of the food, makes it a reliable choice whether I am dining with friends or hosting out of town guests. Parking can be a bit challenging, but that is typical for Hillcrest. I usually plan ahead and look for street parking nearby.

Drinks wise, I got the blueberry bramble as well as the berries & cream (both vodka drinks). they were fantastic, so refreshing.

We all ordered a different type of Benedict, and they enjoyed the Lox and the Crab cake benny but unfortunately the short rib benny fell short for me- it was quite mushy all around and cold in random parts. I would order a different Benedict next time! The brioche French toast saved the day though. With the strawberries and cream, it was so so yummy. The service was nice and pretty quick! Overall a good experience and would recommend this place just not the short rib Benedict

My husband also enjoyed his lasagna. We of course topped it off with a very nice tiramisu. Our waiter was helpful and friendly. Comfortable casual atmosphere. I really like the big panel windows that let in light and give it a honey feel. It was such a nice surprise when Chef and owner Luciano came out check on us. We really prefer supporting small businesses rather than these big corporate themed places. We will definitely be back.

When we entered this comfortable restaurant we did not know we had entered a portal back to Italy…read more There are meals you enjoy... and then there are meals that quietly rearrange your expectations. The Red Door is firmly in the second category. Chef and owner Luciano Cibelli doesn't just cook, he composes. Every dish feels intentional, grounded in beautiful ingredients sourced from local farmers, and elevated with a kind of restraint that lets flavor of his ingredients lead. The result is food that is elegant without trying too hard and is exactly what perfection tastes like. The risotto special? Dangerous. The kind of dangerous where you fully intend to share and then quietly abandon that plan three bites in. It was deliciously rich yet balanced, the kind of dish that makes conversation pause because everyone at the table is too busy having a moment. From the first course to dessert (all made in house), the entire experience felt like slipping into a small corner of Italy. It is unpretentious, warm, and deeply satisfying in that way only truly thoughtful food can be. Robin our server, guide, and overall gem of a human made the evening feel effortless. The kind of service that's attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and genuinely joyful. The Red Door isn't just a restaurant. It's a reminder that when care, craft, and incredible ingredients come together, something quietly magical happens.

Dude how did I never know there was a Wood Ranch is San Diego…read more I went here for Mother's Day and it was so good that my parents and I all finished our plates clean. My dad and I both got the baby back ribs and my mom got the BBQ Chopped Salad. The ribs were so tender. My sides were the cole slaw and mashed potatoes and both were delicious. I made a reservation for 11:30 AM on a Sunday which was perfect because there were a good amount of people in the place after we showed up. I love how spacious the restaurant is and how there's also an outdoor patio area in the back. Definitely will be coming back

It's extremely difficult to walk from street to get to the front door for a person who was unfamiliar to Hazard Center. The Ribs were overly smothered, like they were re-heated and microwaved ... and the broccoli side that was recommended by the server was crazy burned . It was late and by the time the server was circling back to bring the check We had to leave so we didn't have time to get a reorder --no wipes were provided like other wood ranch locations . We paid 180$ for three people . Absolutely would not go back . This experience turned us off for wood ranches everywhere . Sorry to say that but it's the truth .

The meat was unbelievably tender, cooked to perfection, and packed with deep, rich flavor. Every element on the plate was balanced so well--it honestly felt like an explosion of flavors in the best possible way. The sauces, the sides, the textures... everything just worked together seamlessly. You can tell there's real care and intention behind every dish. And the service? Absolutely outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--it made the whole experience even better. And let me talk about the alfajores--WOW. The perfect level of sweetness, with just the right amount of crunch. Not too heavy, not too sugary--just pure perfection. Hands down, this is the best food I've had in San Diego to date. No exaggeration. I'll be back as often as I possibly can. If you're even thinking about trying this place--go. Trust me.

Our server was very attentive and I heard him explain all the plates to a table next to us. He was even wearing a Peruvian NT jersey! We weren't that hungry so we shared the fish ceviche and the lomo sandwich! The ceviche was very tasty and the leche the tigre tasted just right! All the authentic ingredients...next time I'd order it a bit more spicy. The fish did not taste that fresh so I wonder what they were using buy overall I'd say this is the best Peruvian ceviche I've had in SD....taste wise. The lomo sandwich was huge! My girlfriend and I split it and she couldn't finish her half. All the dishes looked very generously portioned which is very good for the price point. The sauce on the sandwich gave it a unique taste. 4 stars for now but because I didnt try the lomo saltado and the freshness of the fish in the ceviche. Will definitely return!

My friend and had been planning to meet at a Mission Valley wine bar on a Friday evening, but found…read morethat it wasn't open. So, we looked to find something nearby and found Monkeybar. I had sort of been to Monkeybar several years back when I used Resort Pass to spend a day lounging by the pool. At that time, I had walked up to the bar several times for mimosas, but mainly spent time at the pool rather than in the bar. This time, it was a chilly January evening and we walked in to find that there was a convention at the hotel, so it was pretty packed. The decor was modern, but the bar itself was really just a hotel lobby bar. I was hoping it would have a bit more character. There was a DJ playing, which was cool, but it also was pretty loud making it difficult to catch up with my friend. We struggled as the indoor area was loud and the outdoor area was really cold. The couple of outdoor tables that had fire pits were already taken by convention-goers. Finally, we chose to sit on the outside area of the bar, which was still chilly, but was quiet enough so that we could chat. Anyway, I was a bit hungry, and had been hoping for a salad, but there were none on the menu. We chose to share the edamame hummus. They did have some decent sounding cocktails on the menu, but we were in the mood for wine. We both chose glasses of Malbec. The Malbec was decent, so I had a second glass. Our bartender was friendly, but out hummus was forgotten. After I asked, he expedited our order. I enjoyed the hummus and the variety of veggies. As it got colder, we moved inside when the DJ ended. Parking is free with validation, however mine did not get validated correctly by the bartender. I explained to the parking attendant and he let me go. All in all, it was a decent place to talk with a friend over a glass of wine. I think it would be a nice bar if I were staying in the hotel, but not special enough to make the trip. I do think the atmosphere might be much more lovely on a summer weekend, as sitting outside by the pool would be very nice.
