Not sure how this place is getting good reviews. After we talked to locals about our experience we were told "oh you don't go there for the food, you go to get wasted" that's a nod to the bottomless mimosas they offer. The service was Ok, the eggs in the scramble were horribly overlooked and most likely part of a larger batch that they had cooked up in the morning. The duck that was like leather, totally dry and overcooked. It actually looked more like turkey. My girlfriend ordered the florentine Benedict looked nice on the plate but was very bland, tasteless. The Bloody Mary's tasted like Worcestershire sauce mixed with tomato juice (read as awful). Go here for the mimosas, it's pretty hard to screw those up. read more

Had lunch today based on good Yelp reviews. Nice unique space with tables in wine store. Too bad service and food didn't meet spec. Waiter was so slow and disinterested that it's hard to fathom. Can't be justified by "California cool." More like "I don't give a s**t about you people. As my wife said, I think he is just lazy. Menu is very nice and wife had salmon which was very good. Short rib sandwich was sparse of meat and dry to boot. Lots of baguette, romaine and crummy tomatoes. Why bother? We were in SD for a couple if days from Midwest. I guess you can chalk us up to being a couple of hicks. But I know my service and food and this place did not have it today. read more

Greatest French Toast in San Diego!!! I've ate here for over 7 years and the Brunch service has always been on point.

The food was outstanding and so was the service! I would come here any day of the week. Their crème brûlée was the best I have ever had in my life! 10/10 would recommend. read more

This is a great place for Sunday dinner, we did the three-course meal with pairing. It was delicious and the wine went very well with the food. Highly recommend. Plan on trying their brunch sometime very soon. read more

Awesome wine selection! You can pick out a bottle and relax on the couch. The food is great too! I've had the cheese/meat plate and the mussels off the happy hour menu. Both of them were amzazing! You also can't lose with the house salad and/or the fries. read more

Good service, great atmosphere and flavors, but somewhat lacking on the execution. Scallops were only seared on one side and the bread pudding could have been a bit less dry. read more

3rd Corner has become my FAV spot in the Ocean Beach area. Friendly service, amazing wine selection and the food was seriously fantastic. I had the Goat Cheese Salad and Spare Rib Dinner...it it wad DELICIOUS. I finished it off with the Chocolate Torte for dessert. The ambiance is so relaxed...great date night or girls night spot. read more

ohhh, love it here! The food was awesome. Had the escargot to start and mussels and scallops - we devoured everything. Even asked for more bread to absorb the broth of the mussels. Didn't want nothing going to waste! HA! The cocktails and wine were yum too! Need to go back and try other things on their menu. read more

It seems too rare to have a kitchen produce food that is consistently above expectations, but this place pulls it off. The service is great, menu is anything, but boring and they have a huge wine selection. I'm not a huge wine guy, but this is a great place to enjoy a meal with a few friends or a date. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant to go. Have been there countless times, service is always excellent, good food and an extensive selection of wine at incredible prices the only thing i wish they would do is change a few menu selections every now and then. Otherwise great job guys i will keep coming back. read more

Duck dinner... most excellent and we loved being able to buy a couple bottles of the wine we had with dinner. Two thumbs up....

They opened up the doors after closing so my friend and I could purchase a bottle of Léal! Much appreciated, guys! read more

I love this place. They sell discount wine. You can choose a bottle and drink it with your delicious meal for a small corking fee. The food here is consistently good. I always bring a few bottles home if I like what I try. They have regular tables or more relaxed lounge type seating where you can share wine and appetizers. Great place for date night or ladies night out. Go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

I really think the short ribs here are the best! I love it. The risotto was also really good! The waitress told me it's heavy so get the smaller portion and it was perfect! The baked brie is the best here... I also love all the charcuterie plates. I wasn't a fan of the chicken liver mousse but I heard everyone loves it. haha. Wines are great minus the $5 cork fee... (lame). I still love it!!! read more

I had a lovely time here at the restaurant. My friend and I ordered the cheese platter (I wished it came with honey!), the mahi mahi and the swordfish dishes. Everything came out wonderful! The fish on both dishes were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes complemented both entrees well. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful while our server, Laura (the table) was attentive and made sure we were happy without disrupting our conversation. :) The ambience of this restaurant is nice, however, I can understand if certain individuals would not want wine browsers to be perusing around while they are trying to complete their meal at night. 3rd Corner, I hope you keep up the good work! read more

The only negative thing about this place is that everyone loves it (aka it gets REALLY busy around dinner time). The atmosphere is fantastic and cozy, the wine selection is enough - but not overwhelming, and the meal portions are big enough to actually fill up a normal person. I was really suprised at how much food they serve, seeing as though it's a fancy-shmancy wine restaurant. That alone is worth it for me. Try the shrimp caesar salad with the Napa Valley Cabernet after the baked brie and cheese plate appetizers. Mmmmm. read more

The food and wine here are amazing. The staff is very helpful and friendly, readily available to help pair wine with your food selections. Everything from the bread and olives to dessert was great. I would definitely go again :) read more

This is a great spot! We ordered cheese plate, 2 entree, and a bottle of wine and I got away with less than $75! (tips not included). I know, it's not overly cheap, but I just wanted to say that. Portion was a bigger than I expectet, but mussels were slightly overcooked; nevertheless, it was still good. Actually, my dinner date's risotto was a better than mine. I forgot the name or type of wine, but the waitress recommended to our "what kind of wine we feel like drinkin'" request. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual date. Oh and there was like 5 groups of ladies there chatting up, so it's that kind of place too. read more

Heavy emphasis on wine ... but ... a full bar as well. Phenomenal bartender, Chris. The man is legit. He knows how to treat a customer and takes pride in doing his job well. Kuddos Chris. I'll be back. You earned my business. read more

My favorite wine bar.. GOOD - Great selections of wines at retail price, knowlegeable and friendly staffs, only $5 corkage fee, delicious food! BAD- limited parking, in a dark and unsafe neighborhood read more

I came here for brunch with some old coworkers. The staff was attentive and were patient as we waited for most of our party to arrive. It was relatively quiet when we were there. I got the bottomless mimosas which came with one entree. I ordered the chorizo hash and it was awesome. Great chorizo flavors and the eggs and potatoes were nicely cooked. I had wayyy too many mimosas while I was there and got sloshed as they are generously poured by the staff, though I must admit I did refill my own cup a few times as I have no shame. Would definitely come here to get sloshed again. read more

This restaurant is in a little spot near the beach and sits on a cozy corner in Ocean Beach. The atmosphere is intimate, and there is big wine selection. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. My partner and I came for brunch and he ordered the chilaquiles and I ordered the goat cheese omelet. Both dishes were superb. I would definitely go back! read more

this place! Our 1st time out for dinner and was very impressed with the selection of wines and their prices. Dinner was Fantastic too. Will be back soon. read more

I sat at the cute little bar in the wine shop and had some delicious moules frites. Everything was more than pleasant in a neighbourhood I absolutely loved. Bartender was fantastic, the rest of the patrons were very pleasant, people bought me shots, I ate, I drank wine. I would like to go again. read more

This is a placeholder review until the next time I go The wine selection decent, however it's not chilled and I'm a 57 degree red wine person so I have to request this. Lines can be long Some food is great but some not so great definitely would be a regular if i lived in ob still read more

As soon as you sit down order an Artisan Cheese Plate with a demi baguette. A) Because it's awesome and B) The service is a little slow so you'll want something to munch on before your appetizer and meal arrives. On to the wine. In the each of the white and red sections there are about 50 wines of each to choose from with about a dozen champagnes. There's bottles of everything from $10+. If it gets a little overwhelming for you, the manager is always roaming around and will give you a quick lesson. They also have a full bar so you can grab a drink before you get to your table because it does get a 20-45 minute wait on most nights. As far as food, it's all good. I recommend the New York Steak, Wild Mushroom Pasta, Grilled Salmon and the Grilled Shrimp Skewers. Great place for birthday with close friends or date night. read more

The food here is great!....it is the best you will find in OB by a looooong shot. I usually get the duck, and it is always fantastic. The cheese plate is awesome way to start, as are the olives. But if you are really feeling saucy, start with the zucchini bread and stilton. It is board filled with yummy toasted zucchini bread, stilton & goat cheese, dried apricots, dates and walnuts. It is simple, but it is 100% deliciousness and goes GREAT with any wine you may be drinking! The best part is the wine selection. Strolling the isles, and choosing the wine that will determine the rest of your meal is a fantastic experience. I never know what to get, and almost always end up asking for help. But they are awesome and knowlegable. They will help you pick out the perfect wine no matter what your style or budget. It has become my go-to wine shop here in SD. I love to drop by and grab a bottle on my way to dinner at a friends or wherever. Although parking is often an issue. ....and they are open late! They serve food til 1am I think....which is great for industry folk like me! read more

I really enjoyed this wine bar/ restaurant. The staff helped us pick out an excellent bottle of wine - which we probably would not have otherwise selected. The food was fresh and flavorful, and I would definitely return. read more

The more Ocean Beach restaurants I patronize, the less I understand people's harsh stance when it comes to what they characterize as the lack of good food in O.B. The 3rd Corner has rocked each time I've been there. Wine abounds. Good beer is always an option. The ambiance is warm, cozy and inviting. 360 surround sound of others' conversational murmur. I've had the pot roast and the roasted chicken. Both fabulous. The chicken liver pate is also great. Tip: Don't come without a reservation. The wait is usually long. Call ahead and save yourself the time. read more

3rd Corner is pretty much my go-to spot. It's 3 blocks from my house, and usually when I'm out for dinner by myself I can find a spot at the bar. Pretty much every time I've been here, which is about once month for the last 3 years, I have to get the house salad. The dressing is amazing. The tomatoes are perfectly marinated. The black olives are a great touch. And then you add shaved parmesan. Wonderful! I have to confess that I like a good amount of dressing on my salad, and I think this salad is perfectly dressed and tossed. But, I could see how it might have a bit too much dressing for some. If you're one of those people, you might want to order the dressing on the side. I've eaten most everything on their menu at least once. The only thing I wouldn't get again is the seafood risotto. Just a little too bland for my taste. But everything else is wonderful. The scallops, the braised short ribs, the tuna in that flakey dough paper, the mussels, and always whatever is on special - are just a few of my favorites. I like that this place has a tv. I often go by myself and will show up to get a bite to eat, a glass or three of wine, and watch an event (sporting, election, etc.) There are some couches around the corner. If you can snag one of those it's a great spot to hang out with some friends and drink a few bottles of wine. Also - sign up for their email alerts. They have great wine tastings ($10 for 10 tastes) on Saturdays here and there. I've been to a few of those and they're really fun. And finally, if I wasn't already such a fan of this place, they recently started to do a happy hour. Need I say more? read more

This place is pretty awesome. It's in a nice little quaint spot in ocean beach and they offer dining all around the wine that is for sale. Essentially, this is a wine shop and a restaurant. So you can pick a bottle and then drink it with dinner for a small corkage fee. The food was pretty good too! read more

Great service. Great ambience. I love it! Perfect place for a first date, special occasion, whatever. I come here strictly for their mussels + fries plate or their salmon. Their goat cheese plate is an awesome choice as well for starters. The creme brulee is awesome (and I know good creme brulee). They have a full bar, but the most amazing part of the 3rd Corner experience is when you walk around and choose your bottle of wine. They've got a wide selection of California, Italian and French wines. I don't live in OB anymore, and 3rd Corner is one thing that I miss about it. Forget about The Vine on Bacon and go to 3rd Corner. read more

This place never disappoints! Great wine selection and just as wonderful food to pair it with. The staff is friendly and provide a warm inviting environment. I've had their steak, salmon, and scallop dishes and they are all to die for. Everything is paired with delicious sauces and medleys of vegetables that keep you wanting more. One of these days I'll save room for desert, I'm sure it would be just as amazing :) read more

I came here for dinner one night last week with the BF. We had reservations so that was really good because there were people waiting already and it was only 6:30pm. Table was really small and really close to the other tables. They had wine crates all over the restaurant so that u can buy from so people were walking around looking at them. We ordered the hummus appetizer, not that great. I ordered the salmon topped with salsa, asparagus, and mash potatoes. The BF got the steak with veggies and fries. Great portions. Both dish were very good! Server was very nice and attentive. Will come back when I learn how to drink wine! Four stars cause the place was so small. read more

I always enjoy myself when I come here. It's usually late so I miss crowds and can just relax and leisurely take my time through a few glasses of wine or champagne and some delicious food. I've been here for a quick bite to eat, an anniversary dinner, as well a welcome home meal. And it has never disappointed! read more

Delicious wine while we waited for dinner at Bo Beau across the street. Very friendly staff when we sat at the bar. Only minus: It smelled like mold in there. It had rained heavily that day, so maybe they had had some water damage? read more

I luv luv luv this place! It's perfect for an intimate dinner for 2, ladies night, or a small gathering of wine lovers! They really put some thought into decor at this wine bar / restaurant. All the 1/2 walls & dividers are wine racks; brilliant! The patio has couches that are perfect for a snuggle or relaxing with friends. You can find the perfect salad to keep it light & delicious & make the perfect pairing to your wine selection or you can choose full on decadence in cream sauce. They even have a small parking lot & a row of spaces out front. read more

We are regulars (mostly late night dining and brunch) and they're always awesome. Friendly wait staff and great wine selections. The dinners are not the usual SD flatbreads and fusion dishes, more like your dad's seafood and steakhouse selections, and done well. And they take reservations, which is the clincher at busy times because most places in OB don't and waiting hours for a table SUCKS. ... and its the best brunch in town. Free fruit and chocolate bread, tasty mimosas (maybe fancier champy, maybe just a fancier glass) & delicious entrees (my favorite is chilaquiles). Love this place. read more
