    This spot is located by the Karl Strauss in Sorrento Valley, the place is very decent, they have a newly build Tennis Court, the Padel N9NE Sports Club. If your looking for a place to hang out and have some cocktails drink, also their burger is good and heavy, they also have Poke and Salad Bar. Very nice yard around it.

    Fresh poke is really delicious!

    Stopped in today for a Poke Bowl...decent size bowl....was really good, fresh poke and tasted fantastic. It was my first time dining here.....large restaurant with really great inside and outdoor seating. I really like that you can relax and enjoy your food here. Pretty spacious. Monitors for you to walk up and place your order in a number of spots where they prepare the food. So you are not spending too much time interacting with service. Really nice place. It's in the same area as Karl Strauss. Great spot highly recommend!!

    Asian chicken salad with dressing on the side
    Christine M.

    Came here for lunch with coworkers. This place has been around for a while but I never visited it because I thought they had mainly burgers. But I was wrong and was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of salad options. I got the Asian chicken salad with dressing on the side. It's mainly kale with a lot of toppings and grilled chicken. Dressing was ok (I'm not really a dressing or sauce type of person, so it's hard to win me over on the dressing), the salad toppings were great but the star for me was the chicken! Grilled well-seasoned chicken breast was very tasty. One small complaint is that they could cut the kale a bit to make it easier to eat. But all restaurants do this so I guess that's the way it is around here. I like the concept. Very airy and pleasant setting, good variety of food to choose from. Definitely will be back for the salad and to try other things.

    They just added a new vendor to their other four options, and this one specializes in Indian dishes. I went there specifically to get the fried chicken sandwich but the chicken tikka masala looked intriguing enough to lure me away from it. I am pleased I did. The curry was really good, and with their fragrant rice, was a perfect lunch. The portion is a good size too. I also tried the samosas and naan. Next time, I'm getting a double order of the naan which was so good with the curry. The have four different sauces - I tried all four. They add a different flavor profile to the dishes. Am definitely going back again.

    TLDR - Rip off at full price. Must have the discount to eat here. Small portions. Really, unless you work at the Tech Center (AND get the discount) there is nothing special to make you drive to eat here. I've been eating here since they opened as Park Commons is located in my business center. The food here is very expensive when paying full price. Most of the businesses in the tech center receive a 40% discount and this is HUGE, except my business no longer receives the discount, so I stopped eating here as much. To get the discount we had to download an app, they had no real way of discounting us at the check out terminals, and this was a fail from a planning perspective. Food: The food is generally ok, but not for the price. The poke bowls (see pics) is $17 before any tip and they barely fill the bowl half way full. There was maybe a 1/4 cup of cooked rice at the bottom, and it was steaming hot. No one wants hot rice with a poke bowl, and it wasn't even sushi rice. Just plain. I'd say this is acceptable if I was still getting the discount, but at full price there are better options in the area, you just need to leave the tech center.

    Classic Cheeseburger, Side of Tots

    Tried Park Commons on a warm February Friday, just after 12. The main hall was packed with people, but my lunch companion and I were able to place our order at the kiosk and easily find a table outdoors rather quickly. Once your order is ready, you will get a text to pick it up, which is easy enough. The food: I ordered the cheeseburger combo Cheeseburger - 3/5 stars The meat is pre-formed, not my favorite, and it had too much thousand island sauce. However, the vegetables were vibrant and fresh, and that crusty looking bun... anything but! It was so well-toasted it added to the overall flavor elevating what would be an average cheeseburger. Tots - 5/5 stars! One tiny little bag seems to hold a ton of tasty tots! They were cooked and salted to perfection, served fresh, so they were nice and hot. The combo comes with a fountain drink of your choice with free refills. Park Commons is a bit hard to find, but a nice addition to the business center. Some resident businesses are offered a 15% discount. If you are one of the lucky few and are eligible, place your order at the bar where they will key it in for you. You cannot get the discount if ordering at the kiosk.

    Hooray for Park Commons! For the love of food of course, because they are making some scrumptious eats indeed. For breakfast, I not only had the Bacon and Eggs Breakfast Sandwich, but also a Dark Horse Misto or Cafe au Lait. The sandwich as only $5 and the misto $3 and some change. The bacon breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious. The bacon was of super quality, and hats off to the individual who scrambled the eggs. They were light, fluffy, and well seasoned. I loved them, and together with the bacon, the gourmet glistening warm bun, peppery arugula, and aioli, the breakfast sandwich was a winner! It wont disappoint! The misto was just right. It was smooth, easy to drink, and the Dark Horse Roast offered that robust coffee flavor and subtle fruitiness towards the end. Park commons has a lot to offer. The cuisine ranges from New American Breakfast-Park Common's Kitchen, Middle Eastern-All Spice, Salads-Best Dressed, Dr. J's-Sandwiches, El Parque-Mexican Eats, and Fricken Burgers-Fried Chicken. Great stuff indeed. Whether you work or live nearby, or want to take a drive to check out something new or different, check it out! The ladies and gentlemen were all very nice and welcoming. If there are calling this a food court, well it's one of the best food courts in San Diego!

    Great experience at Park Commons this evening! It's a new addition to the Sorrento Valley dining scene, located nearby Karl Strauss. Drive past good ole Karl's and the Qualcomm building for spacious parking. Look for the modern building with the illuminated Park Commons sign (pictured). First off, the decor was very warm. The lighting wasn't too bright nor dim illuminated by a number of interesting fixtures. Even without looking, one can tell it's by the Whiskndale group as it feels familiar to nearby Gravity Heights. Service was very attentive. Immediately upon walking in, I was greeting and offered a glass of water. Thanks for that. To be candid, I didn't read much about this place prior to visiting. Heads up that the dining hall is open for lunch from 11am - 2pm, then the menu switches to full sit-down service in the evening. Pictured are the options - there's a great mix of sandwiches, wraps, tacos, and salads. I opted for the Cesar Salad and mushroom taco (per our server Carla's recommendation) while my dining companion chose a fish and chicken tacos. First off, the salad was a hit. Fresh greens combined with flavorful dressing is a great combo. However, what stood out, were the croutons. This may be a small detail, but they were oh-so delectably crunch and well seasoned. Yum. The tacos were also enjoyable. I'm a bit spoiled by enjoying tacos from Tijuana, however, the mushroom was extremely flavorful. The earthy, umami taste paired extremely well with the salsa and jalapeños. The fish taco was also very tasty. Overall, Park Commons is a great addition to the area. I look forward to returning for breakfast and lunch sometime!

    Date of visit: November 6, 2019 Park Commons in Sorrento Valley is having their soft opening period, and I was given the opportunity to check it out. After asking my bestie Kendra if she wanted to come along, we both made it out here for happy hour. As the food was being made and brought to us, we decided to stick to the appetizers, which were 1/2 price off the menu prices listed and reflected a taste of which vendor is offering. We went with the following: - Portabella Mushroom Taco ($3.99 - all prices listed are what they'd regularly cost): Even though Kendra had the poblano pepper taken off, and picked off the pickled jalapenos, the combination of the portabella mushroom, guacamole, onion, cliantro, radish, & lime was very delicious. (But $3.99 for one small taco?!?) - Shrimp Summer Rolls ($3.50): It's one summer roll cut in half - which is why I ordered two, given the half off HH pricing - but this was one of the best summer rolls I've ever had. Everything inside, from the shrimp, to the cucumber, to all the other veggies tasted freshly prepared. Even Kendra was impressed at how fresh the summer roll was. - Hummus Platter ($6): You can't go wrong with hummus, and Park Commons' version is no exception. The pita bread served with it was nicely warm and chewy, and this was the first time that I'd had tabbouleh salad with chopped nuts. - Loaded Tater Tots ($8): While this was more of a veggie dish, served with garlic and cilantro sauces, Israeli salad, feta cheese, and pickled red onions... although the taste was good, the tots could've been made a bit more crispy. Park Commons doesn't have their liquor license yet, so Kendra and I ordered their Mint Condition mocktail ($1). The mixture of Dark Horse cold brew coffee, mint, and oat milk was pleasing and refreshing, though it felt like it forever for our drinks to get served (though Kendra's second one came out more quickly). I like the clean vibe that was in the dining area, and Shaun our server was nice and professional as he refilled our water glasses. And, when I was checking out one of the sandwiches from their grab and go refrigerator, he gave it to me on the house! SCORE! (Especially as that became my lunch the following day after jury duty.) Kendra and I both like the Park Commons idea, and that this place will sell like gangbusters once it fully opens (especially during the lunch hour). And while this area is a bit far for Kendra to come out to more often, I can see myself stopping by for happy hour on my way home from work.

    My friend made reservations for us last Friday during happy hour, which is from 3-7pm. The food court was a little hard to find, so 2 of us got lost LOL. It's basically located to the right of Karl Strauss and there is plenty of parking in the back lot. We shared the loaded tater tots, poke chips, KFC chicken, and a salumi plate. The tots were cold, but we didn't dig into it until much later though LOL. The KFC chicken sandwich was huge, but lacked flavor. The fries it came with were thin, crispy, and yummy. The salumi plate was small and spicy! I really enjoyed the poke chips a lot. Good thing we got two of these- I could eat this all day! I liked how the chef incorporated some tangerines and used nori chips as the base. As for drinks, only mocktails were available so I chose the Match Picchu. This had matcha and lime, so it was refreshing and interesting. We also tried the Rose-Aid, mint condition, and bird of prey. Each drink had a decorative piece on top. Service was on point- in the end we were able to pay with our card with the machine instead of having to wait again to sign the bill.

    RAISED BY WOLVES @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Raised by Wolves is located inside UTC La Jolla, tucked away in the very back of the mall near the Din Tai Fung area. I would definitely recommend parking around Corner Bakery or near 24 Hour Fitness for the closest way in. This was my very first time going to Raised by Wolves. I made a reservation on OpenTable, and if you are reading this right now, I highly recommend booking one. When we got there, the wait was two hours for people without a reservation. I booked for 9 PM on a Saturday night with my friends after dinner. We actually arrived at UTC earlier than expected, so we let the host know and they let us in about 20 minutes early. As for parking, they do not validate here. Parking is free for the first hour and then two dollars per hour after that, so just be aware that you may end up paying for parking when you visit this bar. It is set up like a speakeasy, which is really cool. You get to see where the actual bar is hidden. We ended up ordering a bunch of cocktails and the drinks were super great. I really loved the vibe overall. It was lively and chatty, and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very dark and classy. Keep in mind they do not serve food here. It is purely drinks only. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

Sedona was the staff working today behind the bar. I kinda got mixed feelings about her because she seemed nice, but it did seem as if she was maybe a little overworked possibly didn't want to be there and not really very talkative when it came to the different counts of beers and seem more of a rush to get the slow influx in of people served instead of answering questions about the specially crafted beers. Her vibe was a little off but the people and the atmosphere made up for it especially after ordering a flight in our party and ordering beers. It made for good conversations as we have the patio area that had picnic tables. The only other problem that I had was there was the smell that was just awful that kept coming in or out where we were and tons of biting flies. When we initially got there, the flies were not there, so I'm not sure if someone threw something away or left the trash bin open behind the metal wall or something, but it just got so unbearable that we had to keep moving around a bit. Had a great time with my friends and the birthday guy!!! My favorite beer was the IPA room service and the Okinawa. The prices are reasonable for a brewery and I think this place is cool. Would have been awesome if a food truck or two pulled up
