    Table side smores
    Jennifer R.

    My husband and I are on a quest to pick a new unique restaurant in San Diego for date night every month. One door north was awesome. It's an outdoor camping type theme. Although to rent, the tables in the tents is more expensive. We just added a regular table. The drinks and food were great. And we ended it with table side s'mores! The service was also excellent.

    Cute camping decor experience! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The cornbread was my absolute favorite thing on the menu and I would come back just to order them. The cauliflower was also nice. Unfortunately, the other dishes too salty for my tastes. If you prefer less salty dishes, this may not be the place for you.

    I came to One Door North with a few local friends - were all drawn in by the cute theme and robust menu. The restaurant is really worth all the hype, I think they've made it even more decorated in the past few years. We made a reservation but it probably wasn't necessary on a Tuesday night, it was pretty slow. We got two caesar's (one with chicken, one without) and a truffle flatbread. The caesar was good - very fresh lettuce and flavorful croutons but quite salty. I might do light dressing next time. We stayed for a few hours and chatted and used the trivia cards at the table for a make-your-own trivia night. I'd recommend this spot to anyone! I like that it is out of the fray of 30th street which let us find parking pretty easily.

    We chose One Door North to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the night delivered from start to finish. Service stood out most. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk to. The chef even came out to greet us, which made the experience feel personal. Food was strong across the board. We started with the truffle fries, crisp and addictive. My husband ordered the spare ribs, rich and flavorful. I went with the salmon, cooked perfectly and well balanced. Drinks were a highlight too. He had the Chupacabra, spicy in the best way. I ordered the Primrose Fizz and loved it so much we ordered a second round. Then the birthday surprise. They gifted my husband their famed cookie dessert, and wow. Warm, indulgent, and the perfect finish. The ski resort theme ties the whole place together. Cozy, playful, and different from the usual dinner spot. If you want something special for a celebration night, put One Door North on your list. We'll be back.

    Harvest Butternut Flatbread
    Frankie M.

    Love this spot! This was our second dining experience and we are so pleased with the quality of food and top notch service! Located in the heart of North park. One Door North exudes the great outdoors with its warm, and cozy atmosphere. The food was outstanding and the cocktails were on point. I ordered the prime flat iron steak (medium rare) and my beautiful wife ordered the harvest butternut flatbread. Both were delicious! I capped off the evening with a specialty cocktail called "smoke signal" Very smooth! The bourbon, rye, demerara, and cherry smoke were on point and hit the spot! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to connect with family and friends, and enjoy a genuinely delicious meal! Come check this place out!

    We were celebrating my cousin's 40th birthday and we were a party of 8. We were able to sit inside the tent, which was very spacious and gave us a semi private dining experience that didn't feel cramped. Our waitress was amazing and attentive! The drinks were great but the food and services were better. The cornbread was amazing! Their Mac and cheese so smooth and creamy. The flatbread was crispy and delicious. Everything was soo tasty but the best part were the smores! We were so excited to make our own little smores at the table !

    Came here for restaurant week... got the short rib pasta was a bit salty. Ther service was alright, but a bit slow eventhough there was only 5 parties in total in the whole restaurant. The smores dessert was overpriced for what it was - a few graham crackers, Hershey chocolate and marshmallows. Don't think ill be back, a bit overpriced all together.

    Prime Flat Iron Steak (8 oz)
    Rebekah W.

    Went to One Door North for a midweek dinner and the restaurant was pretty quiet, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Our server was very nice and took good care of us throughout the evening. We started with the elote-style cauliflower and it was delicious -- definitely the standout dish of the night. The arugula mushroom flatbread was good, but not sure I would order it again; some of the flavors were a little overpowering and didn't come together as well as I hoped. For mains, the first steak we received was overcooked and tough, but the server handled the situation really well and brought out a new one promptly, which I really appreciated. The replacement steak was much better. Wine was also enjoyable and paired nicely with the meal. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual midweek dinner. I'm not sure what the ambiance is like on weekends, but I'd definitely come back to try more menu items -- especially if they keep nailing dishes like that cauliflower.

    Cast iron cookie
    Crystal B.

    I've had this place on my list for years! I should have visited sooner! My friend and I both ordered the flat iron steak. It was delicious!!! The steak, mashed potatoes, and broccolini were all great and the flavors complimented each other well. This dish was a hit for sure. We shared the cast iron cookie. It was definitely one of the best cookies I've ever had. Service was great! The ambiance was a mix of modern with an outdoorsy, camp theme. I can't wait to return!

    I had been waiting awhile to come here and we made a reservation which was easy. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was okay, my burger and truffle fries were good however my partner had the short rib flatbread and it seemed to be lacking (IMO) toppings other than arugula, they really liked it on there. Cocktails were good- I got the bee sting (think that's what it was called) and it was delicious.

    Smores Platter
    Christine D.

    Stopped by during restaurant week and happy I did! Desiree took great care of us and her recommendations were spot on. Food and beverage was great! The rigatoni stole the show. I will be back to have another bowl. I'm not a huge artichoke fan but I would come back for the artichoke dip. Will be back with a bigger group to sit in one of the tents :)

    Great spot for a late night dinner. Service was quick and our waitress had good recommendations. The jalapeño cornbread is really good here definitely recommend and the chicken half order was really good too. The Caesar salad was really fresh ordered it with avocado and chicken as add in's.

    Pretzel
    Stephanie S.

    Stopped in on a Friday night with a reservation for 5:30 (don't judge). There was not a host right away and a few people walked around us without acknowledging us. The great news is the food made up for that. We stayed with the pretzel and I will dream about the cheese sauce and mustard butter. Easily my new favorite pretzel. I ordered the crispy skin salmon and my partner got the short rib rigatoni. Both were amazing. It's so nice to have something different than most CH restaurants. The restaurant had the super cute ski lodge them and I wish we had more people to be in a tent. I'll easily be adding this to my regular rotation.

    We were in the area looking for a brunch spot and striking out, and everyone was getting to the "we…read moreneed food NOW" stage, so we ended up at Common Stock. When we sat down, we were a little surprised that the brunch menu was pretty limited compared to the photos that originally caught our attention. I'm guessing those were from the dinner menu. Our server was actually so great about it--he told us to take our time looking it over and that if we weren't excited about anything, we were welcome to leave and he wouldn't take it personally. That honestly won us over. Even our kids were impressed by how straightforward and nice he was and decided we should stay. And I'm glad we did. The Crispy Brussels were delicious--seriously, one of the highlights. My daughter loved the Strawberry Shortcake French Toast. My son liked the Japanese Potato Hash, although he wished there was another way to add more protein besides bacon. I had the Hot Chicken + Waffle and really enjoyed it, and my husband had the Nashville Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The food took a little longer than expected, but the service more than made up for it. Our server was genuinely kind, honest, and attentive, which can make such a difference. We came in mostly because we were hungry and running out of options, but left really happy we gave Common Stock a chance. Great food and, more importantly, really great service.

They do not serve booze or cocktails, but they absolutely give you that cocktail‑bar vibe we all love: moody lighting, great music, intentional flavors, and a social, elevated atmosphere without the alcohol. Located in Hillcrest, parking can be a little tough, but once you're inside, the space is calm, cool, and super comfortable (AC blasting, cozy seating throughout). They're open in the morning for coffee, tea, and AM mocktails, and stay open into the evening with their full NA drink menu. One of my favorite things: they do a seasonal rotating menu. I just went in for summer and some of the drinks were fresh‑fruit‑forward and tropical. If you want the full bar experience minus the hangover, this is it. The concept is meaningful, giving ode to rapper Mac Miller and inspired by his song "Good News" to honor him and spread awareness around addiction. It adds heart and intention to the space. They also offer pastries, popcorn, and even function as a great NA bottle shop if you want to take something home. A beautiful, welcoming, sober‑friendly bar that nails the cocktail‑bar vibe -- without the alcohol.

Great recommendation! Absolutely delicious!!! I felt reallly good after eating it, and I am sensitive to certain breads and cheese.
