Excellent spot for lunch after a walk through Balboa Park…read more We were offered a seat inside or outside, we opted for the patio. The climate was perfect and there were umbrellas to provide adequate shade. The atmosphere was relaxed, we had time to review the menu and ordered drinks, then had time to decide on our meal. There was a smell outside the perimeter of the restaurant, which when the wind shifted, would come by and was a bit sour, but I'm not sure how the Restaurant would resolve that. I opted for the passion fruit sparkling lemondae- delicious and refreshing. We split the Farmers mixed greens salad. The dressing was very light, next time I may ask for a little more on the side. I also had the grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich. I had the Chipotle tartar sauce on the side, so the fish was a little dry but flavorful. My husband had the Kobe Burger and the raspberry sparkling lemondae and enjoyed both thoroughly. Excellent service, great patio seating, delicious food.

Had a really wonderful time here!…read more The American marketing association had an after work gathering here and I'm glad they did. Aside from being nice to discover new places. It was such a comfortable atmosphere for networking. The staff was incredibly friendly and didn't feel judging at all which you can get when you go to a place that sells crafty beers. Such a warm and inviting atmosphere both inside and outside. And in talking to the staff, you discover that they are happy to be working there as they are well treated. Well, I'm not really a beer drinker an IPA was recommended to me which I thoroughly enjoyed. The gentleman behind the bar took the time despite how busy they were, to get to know my taste to match a beer to me. So not only was the event good but I wouldn't hesitate to have an event here or meet with business colleagues in the future. Also a great place for a date. Yeah it's just a good place overall. Maybe next time I'd venture to try some of the food. The only challenge I have on the way I understand isn't typically a challenge was finding parking.

Hands down my favorite new pizza spot. Far Corner Pizza absolutely nails it. The bread alone is…read morenext level it somehow tastes like it's made with East Coast water (IYKYK) and like a hint of sea salt. I ordered the Margherita and it was incredibly flavorful, not bland at all like some places tend to be. The crust was perfection: crispy on the very thin outside, soft and airy on the inside and tasty, with that subtle sea salt coming through in every bite. It's honestly hard to explain, but the pizza just tastes phenomenal. You can tell real care goes into it. This place is a must-try, and I'll definitely be back.

I'm not sure about this place yet.

As soon as that bartender helped me it went through. I went during their happy hour, and I got their blonde. The glass that I was served in had this egg like smell - that threw off my pallet a bit by the time I received my food. For food, I ordered the pizza munchkins. Which was basically just like a little round breadsticks with Parmesan cheese on top and on the side it came with spiced shakshuka sauce, poached egg and cilantro. The bread was very tasty. It was warm. You can tell that it was fresh. I felt like the sauce needed a bit more acid and salt. Especially the poached egg. I felt like it needed some salt. And I could tell that they had just poached the egg and they were keeping it in warm water because it was really firm. Texture wise the bread was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the egg or sauce. The ambience it seems like there's a lot of seating once you walk in. It was pretty empty when I got there, but by the time I received my food, it filled up pretty quickly. And there's even an area for families to dine in the back area where the coffee shop normally is. I wasn't that impressed but I'm gonna try and come through one of these days for the coffee and see if I have a better experience.

Good food and beer selection. If you're hungry and just want to get something from a taco shop,…read morethis spot would work. Probably the only negative is they don't not have a/c and it was 10' hotter in the restaurant. There were two ladies working hard and very friendly. The layout is a bit strange. Order at the counter next to the bar, which is not the side with the front door. If you want canned of bottled beers/beverages, you take what you want out of the fridges. There's a small bar with the Padre game on and several taps. If it wasn't so hot inside, this would be a mellow spot to catch the game. I ordered the carne asada quesadilla. It was loaded with fresh meat and pico. My friend got Al pastor tacos. They looked good and my friend said they tasted good too. Our other friend got chips and gauc. The gauc was smooth but had good flavor.

I love all their brews from light pilsners, triple IPAs, and everything in between. They serve really good pub food so despite being surrounded by amazing food in San Diego, I still find myself ordering a burger, wings, or 24-hour brined chicken tenders. Service is always top notch with friendly bartenders and cooks who bring the food right to your table. Banker Hill is my favorite location as they always have a nice laid back crowd and overall great ambiance. A perfect stop when visiting Balboa Park.

The meat was excellent. The rice - well rice. Almost no flavors at all. The veg wa good but very al dente. $20 was a deal and they rotate the special every week. They do not have iced tea which is a miss for me but good food and the staff were also cheerful.

His questions guided my indecision towards a Berkshire Old Fashioned that was fantastic despite my fumbling to get there. With the warm up round over and the old fashioned loosening up my creativity, round two was set to be a knockout. I love coffee (specifically strong espresso drinks), so I asked for a strong, coffee infused, punchy cocktail, but with a different base of alcohol from the old fashioned. What came out was the best cocktail I will probably ever have in my life. The bourbon cocktail with coffee liqueur (and a number of other garnishes I will never remember) hit the bullseye. Flavorful, strong, bold, delicious all at the same time. Unfortunately (?), this was a noble experiment so I'll forever be chasing the white whale of what this drink was. But that's the allure.

We…read moreknew that any bar by tacos el gordo would be too wild for us, so we walked a couple blocks and approached Noble Experiment. I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too. Felt like I was going inside some continental room like John Wick. Definitely my vibe and definitely coming back. But if you ever get Garrick as your bartender, you're in for a treat!
