All around an amazing experience! The food was delicious and the staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to come back!

Everything was fantastic, including the staff! Recommendations: surf & turf nachos (every nacho is a SuperNacho®!), the shishito peppers were honestly the best I've ever had, and the almond crusted Cod! All A+ read more

Amazing service, food ambiance. It was my first time and celebrating my husband birthday. I will definitely go back again and again. This is my new "go to place" to have a drink and appetisers after work. Love it read more

Fun new spot in Solana beach with a good ambiance. chicken sandwich and spicy Cobb salad were both good. The cocktails are ok. I'd go back for happy hour. read more

amazing!! the food was delicious and the service outstanding. Loved this place!

Went last night for happy hour & food. Everything was great, only wish is they had a better selection of beer on tap, it was small and the majority was IPA but I guess that's the crowd there. They did a great job on the remodel from that dingy Mexican place. Our bartender was amazing even though she was running around...Wednesday night, props. Wish I could take points away for the table of 3 mid-aged DBs in back of us. Don't really need to hear the drunk Corpo-babble, loudly exclaiming F with every other word. Must've been up from Del Mar :) read more

Delicious cocktails and food! Highly recommend the salmon - everything on the plate was amazing. We also got the deviled eggs, peppers, and cauliflower for appetizers. Service was also fantastic. read more

This spot is super cute! I've only been here once before and had a nice time, but tonight I sat at the bar and had so much fun. Cocktails were delicious and food was amazing! Ronnie was our bartender and took great care of us, giving us honest and thoughtful recommendations. She really was the one that turned the experience from good to great. Will definitely be coming back. read more

The best cauliflower dish I've ever had!!! The food, waitstaff , ambiance, and drinks were 10/10. New weekly staple for the neighborhood.

I had been wanting to try this place and finally went last week for lunch. Not much has changed since it was Alphonso's, but it's been nicely updated and brightened with new tables and chairs, and new paint. Our server was prompt and friendly, but not very attentive. He forgot to bring my husband's water and we had to ask for it a couple of times. He never came back to the table to ask how things were or if we needed anything else. DH had the fish tacos and he said they were bland and just ok. I had the chicken schwarma wrap, which was also somewhat tasteless, but very greasy. The fries were good, though. Probably won't put it on the 'let's hurry back' list. read more

Delicious food and presentation.. first time we tried and will be back. Was dead but we came right when they opened..

Great Vegan options! Hummus without Tzatziki is superb! Can't wait to come try the other vegan options like the Tofu Salad and Brussels! well done read more

Solana Beach Kitchen - Hummus - New American Near Me - Solana Beach, California

My girlfriend and I have eaten here twice now and both times had a great experience. We have tired almost all of the appetizers and enjoyed each one, the hummus was our favorite. My girlfriend had the shrimp pasta and I had the chicken Shawarma wrap. We both loved our meals. My gf tried a few of the signature cocktails, and she enjoyed all of them. I went for the great selection of local beer on tap. SBK will definitely be one of our regular restaurants we eat at. read more

Found this place a couple days ago and it lived up to its 5-star rating! The ambiance was great (we sat at a table beside the bar), and the service was very good. We had the Alaskan cod and the short ribs and both were excellent! Will definitely be going back. read more

Surf and turf nachos are amazing. Great happy hour prices. Highly recommend. Nice atmosphere. Service outstanding. We tipped them like they were good. read more

Adorable new casual but trendy spot with great food and welcoming staff. And not to mention their cocktails. Excited to have a new go to spot in Solana! read more

Solana Beach Kitchen - New American Near Me - Solana Beach, California

Great lunch! Your server was very sweet and efficient. I love there's a choice of sitting out on the patio or in the very open seating inside. read more

This is my new favorite spot in San Diego! The service was amazing, and the Mediterranean style cuisine was so flavorful. We got the shishito peppers, cauliflower, and cioppino. The drinks were creative and not too sweet. The happy hour is from 4-6 and is $2 off everything on the menu. Would highly recommend!!! read more

See all

10/10 across the board. Food, service, ambience was impeccable. Salmon was cooked perfectly! Looking forward to getting the best salad I've ever had again in the near future. Truly an experience you must not miss. Thank you SB Kitchen for a great experience! read more

Solana Beach Kitchen - Med Head with salmon!!!! DELICIOUS!!! - New American Near Me - Solana Beach, California

This place is incredible. Great food. A really nice bar. Awesome beer selection. It's the new go to spot. The service is really fast too.

Food is great. Service was very good atmosphere was great, nice quiet trendy atmosphere

Menu is huge but taste is very mediocre. You can ordered anything here. We ordered sea food stew, short ribs and Mac and cheese. Short ribs are very salty. Sea food stew didn't have much flavor. Mac cheese was good. The seats are all hard surface chairs (not comfy) so we didn't stay long. read more

Just called to place an order with the waitress who told me that she is the only one at the restaurant. She proceeded to hang up on me. Called three times and hung up. This is the highest level of unprofessionalism and will not return! read more

Amazing meal! Staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Yuri's service was excellent, and the food was a mouthgasmic experience. Portions were HUGE; I'm very glad we ordered from the "appetizer" menu. We split two appetizers (Charred Cauliflower and Do It Dirty Fries) and almost didn't finish both. The cauliflower had excellent texture and its flavor paired well with the currants, raisins, and pomegranate. The beef short ribs were tender and juicy; deliciously accompanied by crispy French fries in a cheddar cheese and horseradish aioli topped by an egg sunny-side up. I have my eyes on the Beef Skewers entree (yeah, I peeked at my neighbor's plate--looked amazing and more than enough to share) for dinner later in the week before returning to the Sacramento area! read more

The Nashville nachos are a hit Cold Pacifico Very comfortable atmosphere Worth a try read more

The food was really excellent and the service was supreme. The ambience was arguably a bit sterile but it was trendy modern. That being said it was pricey and the quality was really outstanding value. I will go back and definitely recommend this place to my friends. read more

Food was excellent. The presentation of the dinners was unrivaled. I ordered the beef skewers which were tender and delicious. The staff were polite and excited to serve. Everyone must visit SB kitchen. read more

"Pre/post race happy hour" = 3-5 full priced items printed out on a separate menu. Nice trick SB kitchen

Just dropped in for a quick drink and stayed for more. The staff is so-o-o friendly and accommodating. The drinks were perfectly mixed by Marisol. And, Ahmed treated us to a hummus plate that was delicious (a nod to his beautiful mother) that was delightful. Such a fine experience that we'll bring our horse racing group in for dinner. read more

New place and first time here! Great food, quality and taste are exceptional. Service was friendly, fast, and accommodating. Ambience was perfect for a girls night out or date night. Will be back! read more

The only reason it's a four and not a five is that the waitress was not friendly, in fact, she was unfriendly .

This place is an absolute hit! The bar staff, the wait staff, the kitchen and everything more are absolutely killing it! This place is going to kill it in Solana and this city deserves it. The bar staff tonight (Kendra, Sheena, Kayla and Darby) are all so friendly and welcoming! Great drinks, great atmosphere, great food and great staff! What else can you ask for?!? read more

The best appetizers and drinks. Highly recommend the charred cauliflower and calamari! You'll love it.

What an amazing establishment! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks, but what pushed my experience over the top was my bartender, Ronnie. I wasn't sure at all what I was in the mood for so I followed Ronnie's lead and she did not steer me wrong. 10/10 can't wait to go back. Thank you Ronnie! read more

We visited this restaurant for the first time the other night. Our service was good. Our waitress friendly. The place itself was ok. Bright and loud. No ambiance. Menu has pretty decent choices. My husband and our friend ordered bourbon on the rocks. Pours were very inconsistent. We paid- didn't scrutinize the bill.. got home and saw the emailed receipt. They charge $2 for the ice in the bourbon.. for real? I've never heard of charging for ice in a cocktail. I feel that if you're going to charge for something so ridiculous you should at least let people know when they're ordering. Seems like a new way to squeeze money out of patrons. I don't think we will return just because of this. Doesn't seem honest. read more

Excellent food and service, the grilled cheese with short ribs was amazing. My wife loved her burger, the open air seating is perfect

Very disappointed. First to sit down after it opened Sat. Coffee cold and tasteless. Waiter brought me a second cup which was in a dirty cup. Pass. Got the food had a short-rib sandwich which could have been good if it had not come to the table cold. My wife had a dried out chicken shawarma wrap that tasted like it had been made yesterday. My side salad tasted like it was made yesterday and dried out. The experience felt like no-one cared. Wish I had something good to say cause I would love to see a new restaurant in Solana Beach succeed but I got the feeling nobody cared. Won't br back. read more

My husband and I went here for dinner tonight. I ordered a Wedge BLT salad for $16, and I added chicken which was an additional $7. I wish I would have taken a photo of it when it was served. If you no other expectation than a huge chunk of iceberg lettuce for wedge salad, this salad is for you. It was a huge chunk of iceberg lettuce with a few crumbs of bacon, two kale chips, a total of three cherry tomatoes and a drop or two of warm (!!!) blue cheese dressing. The chicken was a very thin slice of chicken breast cooked till it was dry as a bone. The waitress came over to ask how we were doing and, when she asked about my meal, I gave a "so-so" sign with my hand. She looked at my plate and asked if I would like more dressing or toppings on the lettuce. She apologized for the over-done chicken. She understood my complaints and looked embarrassed that she had to serve the stuff. Three hours later I am sick with food poisoning. Not a fan of this restaurant at all! read more

great service Stayce was so nice , we were there after the soccer game to celebrate and she bring us a very nice service, she call us with our names . the food is really good read more

Food was great! I got the MedHead salad and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere and hostess were so nice and welcoming however I was quite disturbed when I saw my server Tracy blatantly touching the hostess inappropriately, specifically her bottom area. The hostess looked extremely uncomfortable with the unwanted attention on her. Assuming this was normal behavior, I will not be coming back. Compliments to the chef for the amazing meal. read more
