Good blend of flavors not too sweet or tasting too much of the spirit . I've had other espresso martini's that were too sweet and that is not not for me. With this one you can appreciate the coffee and the liquor (not too much so this can be a dangerous drink). Only had time for one cocktail, but next time I'm coming prepared for at least two lol. Bartender was great and answered all my questions. Loved that he took his time to make the drink taste and look good.

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.

Just dropped in on a routine Saturday night for 1 cocktail and…read moreended up having many lolol They had a DJ in playing which was cool and kept the vibes right for the night (although I think the volume could have been a bit lower as I felt like I had to yell to talk or do the awkward lean in to hear). 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.

Just a note that whereas this bar apparently used to be dog-friendly many years back (based on…read moremultiple pre-Covid reviews), their current policy is that only service animals are allowed inside. My experience here has always been a good one, with great beers on tap, very friendly servers, and just a fund place to hang out for foosball, pool, or darts (albeit I think they only have one of each of those, so on a crowded night there might be a line to get to your game of choice); if memory serves they also have a stack of boardgames people can use while there.

She always remembers our names and drink orders. Lunch included Chip with Salsa and Queso, a Grilled Fish Taco and a Fried Shrimp Taco. The chips were warm and we love the seasoning on them. Excellent salsa and queso as well. The salsa carried a nice kick. The fish taco was excellent. Grilled perfectly. Flaky and light, not overly dressed in sauce and toppings. La Doña has THE best fried shrimp tacos in San Diego. As usual, service from Amber was excellent. She is super sweet, super friendly, super cute and a super bartender.

My wife had the carne tacos and she said they were great. We also shared the elote and I would definitely recommend. It was delicious. We finished with churros with vanilla dipped sauce.

We chose the lemon curd and chocolate chip bread pudding for dessert, it was too hard to pick one. The space was intimate and romantic, and we had fun checking out all of the wine varieties available for purchase.
