Altitude Sky Lounge in downtown San Diego has an absolutely beautiful rooftop view. From the top,…read moreyou can enjoy views of both the waterfront side and the downtown skyline, and honestly the scenery alone makes it worth visiting. To get inside, you have to go through the hotel entrance and then take the elevator to the top floor. There was no issue going up or down, and everything moved rather quickly considering we visited on a Friday night. Up top it was a little crowded near the edges where everyone was taking photos, but people moved around pretty quickly so it was still easy to get some really good pictures from the rooftop. I didn't order any drinks, so this review is based solely on the location and the views, but once you're up there it's just absolutely beautiful. We stayed for about 20 minutes, enjoyed the views, took in the atmosphere, and then headed out. Definitely worth checking out if you're in San Diego.

The bar was not really our vibe (it was very loud with minimal tiki theming and zero tiki music - the only thing that was truly tiki was the menu) but the staff and the large and interesting menu made up for it. We had a phenomenal time both nights talking drinks and ingredients with the bartenders and were so excited to come back. We came back yesterday when the bar opened at 5, hoping to have a quieter experience and the opportunity to talk with the bartenders again. Instead, the music was already blasting and they were in the middle of hosting a loud, drunk party. No worries, we were going to soldier through to have the Pandan Colada and explore the menu some more, until.... Horrors! We opened the menu. The drink list was now half the size. THERE IS NO MORE PANDAN COLADA. I saw some drinks that maybe might have been interesting, but it was not worth tolerating the late night drunken dance club vibes at 5pm to find out. There were no more banana drinks. It doesn't seem like any drinks now get lit on fire, which I admit is important to me. This place instantly went from one of our most important San Diego spots to visit to one not worth spending time in at all. We went next door to Captain's Quarters where we learned there's been a management change. So the Pandan Colada and multiple banana drinks on the menu are gone, as is our interest in ever returning. I wish all the best to the bartenders, who seemed to really care about what they were making, and I'd like to extend two middle fingers to the new management for breaking our Girl Drink Drunk hearts.

We came here for dinner on a Friday evening. It was very hot. I wasn't sure what the outdoor…read moreseating was like so I had selected inside. It was definitely cooler in the shade outside. As the night drew on it got cooler inside but just be aware. The decor is adorable and the DJ was super fun. Our waitress said most of their serving dishes and glasses are antiques that the owner has collected. Love that. We ordered a glass of Gamay (because it was served cold) and beer to start. We ended up getting a bottle of the Lester Pinot Noir also because it was cold. They will let you taste any wines even before you order a full glass and that's super awesome. Note they only have beer and wine. The food was good and as everyone else has said, the portions are small. We started with the pastrami gougeres which was definitely my favorite thing that we ordered. Very, very good and not nearly as heavy as I thought they would be. I was afraid to order them because I didn't know if they'd be super filling (they are just the right amount). The summer tomato salad had an amazing ginger dressing and I thought was a pretty decent size for a small plate. The salad changes and uses seasonal ingredients. The peach was great with the tomatoes though I wish the peach had been a little more ripe. The bbq potatoes were great, my boyfriend liked those the most. And we ended with the scallops which were good but only two pieces. Definitely ask for a spoon if you get the scallops so you can make sure and get all the sauce. Overall, it's a very cute spot. Not sure if we'll go back only because it is pretty costly for the amount of food you get. But I do recommend it.

Cute and cozy spot! You must have reservations on a Friday night.

Parking is a bit tricky since it's residential or you can park near the train tracks. Read the reviews before you go. Not all dishes are stellar. I made sure to look up the photos and reviews. I was happy with what I ordered with 2 glasses of wine, the tuna tostada, pastrami gougeres, fried mushroom, and pasta dish. The flavors were fun and the textures were fresh. I was surprised that their desserts are so underwhelming; you would expect more creativity from this place than fruit and sweet cream. We went to get ice cream in Carlsbad to end the night.

Our group was surprised as is was 2115, it's been open for about an hour and a half and packed. As you enter this old law office down a staircase one would find the "speakeasy statutes/rules" to maintain the 1920s atmosphere-- we loved the setting, the people, the drinks, and of course the live music!! One would not be disappointed. The cocktail menu was on an old record, which I thought it was so clever. Back to the rules, seems pretty easy! They mention to keep an open mind with the drinks as they do not carry vodkas, redbull, Budweiser or bulls**t. Mentioned a dresscode, more so be classic and states be respectful and don't be a di*k. I couldn't agree more with the rules. I don't think there is good at this establishment, as our group just came from dinner I wasn't looking for food. Just spirits, live music and a good time. Highly recommend if you are looking for live music and uniquely crafted cocktails.

I am writing this review to bring a serious safety and security issue to management's attention. On…read moreMay 18th. around 10pm, I was at this establishment and was unfortunately dealing with a male date who became erratic, weird, and made me feel unsafe. Multiple bystanders witnessed his behavior but failed to intervene, assuming it was just "relationship drama" After the man finally left, the venue's security completely misread the situation. Instead of checking on my well-being or ensuring the aggressor had left the premises, security targeted and chased me as if I were the problem. It is incredibly disappointing and dangerous for a business's security team to lack the basic situational awareness and training required to identify the actual victim in a situation. I felt entirely unprotected by the staff here. I hope management takes this as a serious sign that their security team needs immediate retraining on bystander intervention and de-escalation, rather than harassing women who are already in vulnerable situations.

They go all out with the decorations, and during Christmas the entire restaurant feels completely transformed. It's one of the best holiday dining experiences in San Diego. The seasonal touches don't stop at the décor either. I like that they regularly introduce limited-time food and cocktail specials, so there's usually something new to try while still keeping some of their popular favorites on the menu. Everything I've ordered over multiple visits has been well prepared, and I haven't had a bad meal yet. It's definitely on the pricier side, so I see it more as a place for celebrations, date nights, or when you want a unique dining experience rather than an everyday meal. Between the food, drinks, and the incredible decorations, it feels worth it for those occasions. One piece of advice: make a reservation. This place is popular, especially during the holidays and other seasonal events, and tables fill up quickly.

The venue offers a variety of seating options, including lounge-style sofas, high-top tables, bar seating, and even pool tables. The service was fantastic. Our bartender remembered our drink orders and actively checked in when our glasses were getting low to see if we wanted another round. They have a solid beer selection, a wide variety of liquors, and a drink menu available, although I didn't get a chance to check it out. Overall, it's a fun spot with a lively atmosphere and a great place to grab drinks with friends. One thing to note: dogs are not allowed. If you're looking for a lively place with great service, live music, and plenty of drink options, this is definitely worth checking out.
