Service was very solid and attentive despite the amount of people on the patio. Aside from the views and the vibes, you have to come here for the Hawaiian donuts (Ube Donut Holes). If you are okay with paying a little extra for drinks and food, I highly recommend this place for any sunset happy hour. If you can get your company to pay for it even better!

The service is always friendly and attentive, and the cocktails are consistently on point. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the drinks. One of my favorite things about Understory is that you can order food from any of the restaurants in Sky Deck and have it delivered right to your table while you enjoy your cocktails. It makes it the perfect spot for groups when everyone is craving something different. Great drinks, great service, and an awesome atmosphere--definitely one of my favorite places for a nightcap in San Diego.

One drink and I was starting to feel the alcohol. Very worth the price during happy hour. They also have some very pretty drinks on the menu making the place super instagramable. Highly recommend for affordable drinks and a 10pm-close happy hour is unheard of!

Our server was fine and friendly. The food came out quickly. We had the chips and salsa (excellent). I asked for a non spicy salsa and my friends wanted spicy so they brought some of each. We split the the Heart of Palm Ceviche! So amazing and it was big with a beautiful presentation. Just delicious. I could have eaten that alone with no other items. It was a vegan Ceviche and the fish was not missed. My friends ordered really cool cocktails and raved about them. My one friend said that this is the only place she can get this particular cocktail and that she comes here just for it. I ordered 2 tacos (Mr. Asparagus and the Baja fish taco). Both delicious and they came with housemade potato chips (which I thought was weird until I tasted them). I was so full but I couldn't not eat the chips because they were so good. One friend ordered the Quesabirria and she didn't love it. It was very strange as it was wrapped in fried cheese. They also ordered the other tacos and loved them. The only one that didn't get a thumbs up was the Quesabirria. I am looking forward to introducing this restaurant to other friends. So good!

The manager, Andrea, along with Tara, took amazing care of me and my friends. They were attentive without being overbearing, super friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome the whole time, which is something you don't always get. I ordered an Aperol Spritz, (if you ever ordered, please get it with campari. we also got a margarita, both were perfectly made. The spritz was refreshing and well-balanced, and the margarita was just as good, not too sweet and really smooth. Definitely a great start to the night. The food was just as impressive. Everything came out surprisingly fast, especially considering how good it was. You can tell there's real attention to quality and flavor. The ambiance is another highlight. It has this relaxed, chill vibe but still feels put together and a little bit "cute" in the best way. It's the kind of place that works perfectly whether you're going on a date, catching up with friends, or just want a nice casual dinner without it feeling basic. Overall, great service, delicious food, quick turnaround, and a really enjoyable atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back

I had to remind the waitress I hadn't gotten my drink and had to ask for the check at the end. The food was just okay. I got the Hot Chick chicken sandwich and my friend got the classic burger and we split them. Neither had much flavor, which really surprised me with the chicken sandwich as it's supposed to be Cajun spiced. We both paid the extra $4 to change the fries to truffle fries. That had the most flavor of anything.

She had 11 tables to look over and we were just happy that she took our order and it came out and it was great. I really can't comment on the food because we only had our table for a half an hour.

My sister has beers and I got wine and then one Hugo spritz. For beers, it's pretty pricey imo at $10 a glass. Wine was average priced. The Hugo spritz was an interesting take on with some sort of orange flavor in it. Not my favorite one I've had but did the job. The aesthetics are lovely here and the huge outdoor, open seating is what drew my sister and I here and we did enjoy a lot. Maybe would come back to have food if in the area for a show.

Whenever we visit a new restaurant, we prefer sampling several starters and salads rather than committing to a heavy entrée, and it turned out to be the perfect way to experience Lana's menu. We started with the Baked Mt. Tam Cheese, which was absolutely incredible. From there we enjoyed the Prawn Spring Rolls, Yellowtail Sashimi, and finished with the Peaches & Burrata Salad. Not a single dish disappointed. Every plate was beautifully presented, and the flavors were bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Our server, Dale, made the evening even more memorable. He recognized it was a special occasion and graciously paced the meal, allowing us to relax and savor each course without ever feeling rushed. We loved everything about our experience--from the food and service to the atmosphere. We can't wait to return and explore the entrée menu. Lana has definitely earned a place on our list of favorite restaurants.
