    Beet salad with greens and goat cheese schmere
    Kris M.

    First time here! Love the vibe. Great drinks (large pours!) delicious food - we had salad, cauliflower, pizzas, tuna/crab melt. All soooo good. Great service. Will definitely be back.

    Large upscale indoor gastropub. Quite a variety of food on the menu and strong brunch offerings. Lots of TVs to watch sports. I had a breakfast burrito and it was solid, but nothing extraordinary. Popular place!

    French Fries

    A proper pour of delicious wine, perfectly cooked mouthwatering French fries, a gorgeous ample beet salad and a wonderful white pizza. Who could ask for more? The outdoor patio is comfortable, the service is top notch, and we can't wait to go back.

    We enjoyed our food here and it has a very open concept for seating with lots of fresh air. Food is very good. We really enjoyed the pizza and French toast.

    This place is a favorite local spot. The food menu remains the same most of the time and they post specials, which have never disappointed. The service is friendly and welcoming. You'll have 1st dates, friends, people and their kids. The Cucumber gimlet is tasty and has a punch

    Honey pie

    Thanks to my Clairemont-native coworker for hyping this place up--the hype is real. Located on the same street as Siesels Meat & Deli, Baci's, and Bay Park Fish Co., Luce's has a great tavern-like atmosphere. There is ample seating and even a back patio area with a bunch of a heated lamps, "fire pit" table side and a beautifully painted mural. I ordered the Honey Pie ($25) sopressatta+pepperoni+burrata+calabrese hot honey+mozzarella+red sauce. 10/10!!! The quality of meat & cheeses are great, and the "hot honey" is surprisingly not too spicy. It has a little kick but the sweetness of the honey rounds out the flavor. Job well done, Luce's! Can't wait to come back to try more menu items.

    I love this place. Genuinely everything on the menu is good. I also got their kombucha and it was delicious! The vibes at the fire pit are immaculate and service is good and pretty quick. I would recommend the honey pie, it's DELISH!

    After a day on the water fishing we came here on Sunday evening and caught the last quarter of Sunday Night Football. It was pretty packed but we sat down immediately and had a spot to see the multiple tv screens. Fells like a pub bar with good food. We started with the house fries that came out pretty quickly. We were devouring it. Then came the Pisano pizza, the lamb tacos, and salmon tacos. The Pisano was good with the sausage and the tasty portobello mushrooms. The lamb tacos has a kick so be aware of that. I enjoyed the salmon tacos the most with the guacamole.

    Roasted beef salad

    We came right at dinner time and it was fully packed. While waiting for our table, we ordered the drinks from the bar. We were able to get a table in less than 10 mins and they brought the drinks over to us. The service was great. While it was busy, our server was attentive to us. We ordered the following: 1. House cut fries 2. Roasted beet salad 3. Honey pie 4. Serrano-Rita The food and drinks were really good. Everything went well with each other. You get a sense of a neighborhood vibe. There are TVs to watch games on as well. Parking can be difficult. There is a valet option otherwise it is street parking.

    I don't find myself in this part of town too often mostly because parking can be a bit of a gamble (and lately road construction seems to be a permanent resident). But when a friend's in town and staying nearby, there's one spot I never skip recommending: Luce. Lucky us, we walked in and snagged bar seats like locals who knew what they were doing. I went straight for my go-to mule, and before we knew it, we were sweet-talked into ordering some pizza (no regrets, ever). The vibe? Chill but buzzing busy bar, ice-cold drinks, and the kind of energy that makes you feel like you're ending the night on a high note. The pizza crust was light, airy, and hit our hungry bellies like a warm hug. With summer in full swing, the open windows and breezy patio setup let the warm air drift in like nature's own ambiance. It was the perfect farewell to my friend's vacation--and once again, Luce, you never disappoint.

    Great fries and nice people. Big menu with 4 big screen TV's, plenty of parking too. Easy on the wallet and clean.

    I had been wanting to check out Luce for quite some time, as I have been to several other businesses nearby. Recently, a friend and I met for dinner on a weeknight. We met around 6:30 and the place was packed, but there were a few open tables. We checked in and they asked us to take our table of choice. Anyway, we sat down. Despite the crowd, the table was spacious, though it was slightly loud and it took a few minutes for us to get acclimated to the atmosphere in order to be able to have a conversation. Luce is not a fancy place at all, but they have some of the best service around. They checked on us several times throughout, but in a very unobtrusive fashion. Throughout our dinner, our water glasses were never empty, and they came readily to check on our wine. The menu looked amazing. I had several options in mind. I saw some of the amazing looking salads being passed to the other tables, and was happy to be able to order my crab and tuna melt with a side salad. My friend enjoyed her salmon with a side salad as well. I had the opportunity to taste her Salomon and it was amazing They had a great wine list, and I had several options in mind. Both of us tried a couple different wines. All in all, we had a great meal with attentive service at Luce. I would like to go more often, and I am definitely interested in the happy hour offerings.

    Before a boat day food is necessary and I have actually heard about this spot before so it was cool…read moreto finally discover it. The menu is small but wow the pricing is great especially for how much food you get with it. I ordered mine to go to enjoy on the boat but some of our friends got it to eat there before hand and I was able to steal some bites that were super good! There is a small outside seating area that it seems like many people come to and enjoy some breakfast or lunch and many with their dogs. I ordered a carne asada burrito which came with a little side of chips and salsa and it was super filling, enough for myself and my husband to share. They also have drinks for brunch here with beer and wine options all very reasonably priced considering how close to the water you are. I want to come back again and try the burger because I have heard good things!

    We're going hard 4 out of 5. What a wonderful spot. Off the beaten path so not incredibly busy…read more They have limited outdoor seating. It's a walk up and order type of place. The menu is very basic but exactly what you need if you want an easy lunch. The burrito was incredible and the burgers are great. Definitely make sure to stop in if you want a spot to eat in the area. It over looks the marina too which is a nice finishing touch. Cheers!

So comfy with alternating bands and indoor and outdoor seating ...bench and couch style. Bring your dancing shoes...with or without a partner EVERYONE is dancing the day and night away.

    This place is great!. I have been hearing about it for several years and I finally went last week…read more The location is great. It's over in the Marina Village area. And there is so much parking. We parked on the gravel as we saw right in front there was a parking area but look like I've been paid parking. No need to pay to park there. The bar is very spacious has indoor and outdoor period it was a nice afternoon so we sat outside and we were there for happy hour which is absolutely fantastic. We got four fish tacos and a soda and it was $20. The tacos are very big my friend and I were both full after having two each. There was a bunch of other food happy hour items and a bunch of drinks on happy hour as well. They also do live music every day they are open I believe they're closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. they have music inside at a certain time and then outside at a certain time. There is not really of you though fyi. It shows it's by the water and it is but it's not a view of the bay. Like you cannot see water where you're sitting. If you're sitting outside you see the street. But it's still a great location a great place the worker was fantastic. I will definitely be back many times.

    Aquarius Bar and Grill - $20 "Monster Burrito" What a joke. Less than 2 oz of meat in the burrito. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
