    a view of a hotel pool
    Reno C.

    This small Lounge is located at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina. Seems though that you may need to be a guest of this hotel, as I had to use my room key card to get through some gates at the pool area. The bar counter sits about ten people and the lounge area has seven tables and six chairs that surrounds the circular 800 gallon aquarium. There is a flat screen TV, but it wasn't on this evening. This lounge is next to the multiple swimming pools and outdoor fireplace, hence the name of 'SWIM'. The floor to ceiling windows and doors invites you to gaze out to the bay, marina and sunsets. Their menu is a Pan-Latino cuisine with a Cuban flair to the traditional bar staples. Today, I had their Cuban sandwich (pulled pork, sliced ham, swiss cheese) which comes with mojo dipping sauce and some plantain chips. I had also tried the Angus burger with comes with fries and a mustard herd dip. Both were good, but I preferred the Cuban sandwich. So, if you're a guest at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, stop by for a cocktail, Well Drink, glass of wine or a beer. If you want, take your drink outdoors to enjoy the fire pit with friends and family while watching the sunset.

    Nice, kind of upscale, but still casual little pool bar/lounge. You can eat/drink inside or out at the pool. Have been here a few times, and best is the tropical atmosphere, view over the Harbor on one side and pool on the other, and fire pit in back. You can even purchase a S'mores "kit" w/ sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate. You pay for the convenience ($16), but it's easily enough for 4, so not bad. Not a huge menu, but they have a few apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers, plates of 3 tacos (the grilled fish were pretty good), all about $10-15, and 4 kids' meals for $5-7. They also have some nice wines, beer and cocktails.

    All I can say is "eww"! My friend and I were looking for some where to have a happy hour cocktail. The "bar" was packed with kids. This bartender was cutting limes without gloves!!! right in front of us, but would stop and run a credit card or make a drink and then come back to cutting limes! Never washing her hands or putting a glove on! The other bartender was running around with 1 glove on, but continued to make drinks and run payments, but never changed her glove.

    Staying at the Hyatt regency in San Diego for 1 night. We arrived late and squeezed in a dinner room service at 945 and they close at 10..very grateful. The order arrived quickly and an extra item that wasn't ordered was in paper bag and on bill. I call and since they were closed I got the answering machine transferred back to the hotel operator and she had to have someone call me which they did. He said he would be right up to take back a plate of pasta and remove it from my bill. They were coming up to retrieve it? not like I was going to eat it but this is odd. I'm going to attach a picture of this because the sticker shock is so much that I'm posting at 4 o'clock in the morning. We ordered mahi tacos, cheesecake , BLTA & two glasses of wine..(Mac and cheese was returned) and that totals to $75 then add 20℅ resdel $16 (20℅ of 75 = 15!...how many people have been overcharged?) and Del charge of $5 and service charge for $16 and tax... and they have the audacity to add a line for tip ...& the guy characteristically acts like he is lucky to get nickel..and I foolishly add a tip. These fees are ridiculous, the food shows up in a paper sack with plastic glasses and plastic spoons and knives like a picnic...for these kind of fees it should be rolled on a cart served correctly and I still wouldn't pay those fees and the food below average.. When we returned the mac and cheese the new bill reflected that but they failed to adjust their 20% fee and no one was around in management and of course the front desk can't do it.. so I will figure that out today. unless you're doing really well and want a really poor meal served on paper plates that you can overpaid for stay home... peanut butter and jelly all day!

Bartenders were cool. Nick was our fave though for sure. He made some mean cocktails. Solid liquor selection plus a list of cocktails to choose from. I initially ordered the something and picante (can't remember the full name) and found it to be way too sweet. Then switched to a basic Lalo with soda and lime to cleanse my palette. After tried their version of an espresso martini which was quite good but made with nitro brew and kahlua so a bit on the sweeter side. I ended the night with my fave drink though which was a Hugo spritz and it was perfectly balanced. Definitely will be going back, especially for the love band Sundays. Parking is all street parking.

Parking is a nightmare good luck finding parking within a mile of the restaurant. Pros: atmosphere, drinks, service Cons: food wasn't great for the price, restaurant was small and crowded, no parking Service: All of our servers were friendly and very accommodating. Gave us some knowledge on the menu and recommended cocktails based on our preference. I had spilled my drink and they were quick to make me another one. Food: I had intended to get the prime ribeye cap steak but they ran out for the night around 8pm. I shared the steak sampler which came with four different cuts of steak and 4 sauces. I ordered medium and it was cooked medium/medium rare which was fine with me, it also had a good sear, almost burnt though. Out of the four steaks, we only liked two based off flavor and tenderness. The other two were more tough and gamey. None of the sauces really stood out but the bordelaise and horseradish were good. For our sides we got fries, roasted broccoli, and the grilled wedge salad. Fries were average. The roasted broccoli had really good flavor, I expected the broccoli to be al dente but it was cooked to mush and drenched in sauce. The grilled wedge salad was decent, there was a slightly bitter taste to it. I know it says grilled wedge but the experience of biting into the salad and it being both hot and cold was not pleasant. Cocktails: I tried the Honey Ryder and New Wave. These were recommended as the more fruity/sweet cocktails. You can definitely taste the alcohol but it's only 2oz so it's not too strong. Ambience: 10/10 I got seated downstairs by the bar. Only thing about downstairs is that it's too dark to take photos unless you use flash. Overall, I agree with the other reviews saying to go just for drinks and appetizers. I would go again just to sit upstairs and get drinks and take pictures. We left unsatisfied and ended up getting in-n-out after.

    Starlite, Star bright, first star I see tonight…read more This may be an "UnFriendly" take, but Starlite is a top 3 burger in all of SD. I said, I meant it, and there's no walking it back. Now if you're super into smash burgers, this ain't it, and you really need to rethink your life choices. This bad boii right here is a thickun', with beautifully melted gruyere cheese, dijonaise, and caramalized onions tucked inside of a majestic sesame seed bun-served with fries, a dill pickle, and a FANTASTIC aioli for $17!!!! Yes, $17!!!!!! This burger ain't no joke, and it's more than enough reason to skirt your buns on down to try it out. Now the fun doesn't stop there. Have you freaking seen this place? The outside does not do it justice whatsoever. Once you step inside the door, you'll forget where you are-partially because it's pretty dark and you can't see shit, but the other part is that it's magical. I love poppin' up to the bar and chillin' in this space. There are two more totally different experiences to dine in, but I'll leave that up to you to find and explore. Although they're known for their burger, delicious drinks, and signature ice cream sandwich, there's so much more to write home about. I RECENTLY HAD ONE OF THE BEST MEALS I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME HERE. The steak sampler we had, with sides of honey gochujang carrots, and beautifully scalloped potatoes, left us in ecstasy! The four cuts of beef were incredibly tender, deftly seasoned, and seared to perfection. The accompanying sauces, except for the tomato one, were also really good. And I have even mentioned the twice baked potato or the BROCCOLI!!! YES, THE BROCCOLI!!! If you get nothing else, get yourself a burger and some broccoli-TRUST!!! I could go on, but I'll leave you with this...the parking is not pleasant, but the food is fantastic, the music is fresh, and the drinks are splendid. Starlite, you must be my lucky star. Super HUGE thanks to Dani, the chefs, and the crew for making Starlite so amazing. Enjoy my friends.

    My husband and I went to dinner with a friend on a Sunday evening. First, the good, it wasn't…read moreparticularly busy, the staff was friendly, and it was a cute restaurant. They apparently have happy hour all day on Sundays. I tried the peach mocktail and it was very yummy, so I appreciated the $5 off. For dinner, I ordered the branzino (the one on the menu and not the special). I was told while the one on the normal menu was $47, the special was $55 and the only difference between the two was the special would be lit on fire table side. I didn't feel the flames were necessary, so I skipped that. (However, the special did mention a sauce that I'm not sure was actually on the regular one, so I don't actually know.) A few minutes before the food came out, they asked if we wanted it all together or if it would be ok for my husband and our friends food to come out first since they were still finishing my fish. I said to just bring it out when it was ready, however they ended up bringing it out together anyway. The confusing part though, all of our meals weren't served warm? You'd think if they were waiting on mine to be done it would have been at least warm? It wasn't. The branzio was very plainly seasoned, tasted heavily of oil and was also somewhat dry? I got it with the whipped sweet potatoes, which was very creamy, which was unlike any way I've ever had sweet potatoes before, but they didn't taste particularly good? We each tried them and none of us could figure out what it was like, but we all agreed we didn't enjoy them. My husband got the arrecherea, it was fine, but also cold. The fries it came with was probably the best part, they were crispy even while being cold. Our friend got the stuffed Mediterranean Stuffed Pepper, his meal also wasn't warm, and he said some of the rice wasn't cooked all the way and it was hard. We also got the Puccia Bread & Spreads after seeing positive reviews. I normally love feta cheese, but the feta dip was kind of sweet? Same with the eggplant. The only spread that was good was the butter. Personally, I thought the bread was fine? But it was almost a bit doughy. Overall, we weren't very impressed with the meal. It had a lot of potential, but the food just didn't hit the mark.

First and foremost, the overall atmosphere of this restaurant is very festive. There's a full bar, plenty of seating, and there's always music playing in the background. In my most recent visit, we were initially directed to a table close to the bar. But one of the bussers kindly cleaned a larger table by the patio very quickly, then moved my parents and I. So we unexpectedly got a comfortable booth by natural light, how thoughtful! :') Food Highlights: - Grilled Octopus (5/5) - Char + flavor + texture made for a phenomenal appetizer to share - Señorial Non-Alcoholic Sangria (4/5) - this was terrific, but it's a bit pricy to order from here. You're better off buying this bev in bulk from Smart & Final - Chicharrón, Chips, and Guacamole (4.3/5) - Delicious! But I would have liked more chicarrón and guac, less chips. - Lenguado al Ajillo (4.7/5) - Crispy edges, but the flounder itself flakes beautifully. The garlic butter flavor isn't too overpowering and the corn cake that comes with this plate is on the sweeter side - overall, a fantastic dish! The staff is generally accommodating to reasonable requests. I actually asked for extra cilantro lemon rice and less beans. I didn't even mind the black beans lodged into the rice cause this still made for a well-balanced meal. If I'm in the greater San Diego area in the future, I'm determined to try one of their popsicle margaritas!
