Besides, it's located inside a beautiful Spanish courtyard with large inside dining space and a beautiful outdoor dining patio. What's not to like? Again, the food is fantastic, it's a polished, made from scratch type of comfort food that is really satisfying. The service is standard. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Staff was friendly but not very attentive, several servers walked by with out greeting me, finally after about 10 minutes my server showed up and took my order, food came quickly. That was the last I saw of him until my meal was done, he came and took the plate away and said he would be right back with the bill, he disappeared into the back for another 10 minutes before he came back with the bill. This seemed to be typical as none of the servers seemed to pay much attention to the customers. Overall food was good but I expected better service.

How have I not reviewed Pure Project? They may be my favorite San Diego brewery (and that is saying…read moresomething). I prefer beer (and food) with flavor. PP definitely features some bold brews like triple IPAs and bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts. If you prefer more crushable beverages, they also serve pilsner, blonde ale, and pale ale. They even have hard seltzers and smoothies, wine, cider, and more. Just check out their website: https://www.purebrewing.org/ They are a 1% for the Planet company. Bring in outside food. They also serve empanadas from Empanada Kitchen and one appears to be vegan. Bring your dog, too, so I can say hi. Check out their other locations. Joe's tip: whenever you see them at events, see if they have any half-price flight coupons!

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.

A Solid Hangout Spot With Personality…read more Far Corner turned out to be exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble into on a night out. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was relaxed and welcoming plenty of space, good lighting, and a layout that actually lets you talk without shouting. The pool table and couches give it that "stay awhile" feel, and it works perfectly for groups. Service was friendly and easygoing, and the food surprised me in the best way. Everything we ordered came out hot, quick, and way better than you'd expect from a casual hangout spot. It's the kind of place where you look around and think, yeah, I could make this a regular stop. If you're looking for a spot to kick off the night with drinks, games, and a chill atmosphere, Far Corner delivers. I'll definitely be back.

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.

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!
