Phenomenal! I haven't been to Seaworld in 30 years. I was about 4 or 5 years old since my last…read morevisit, so of course I expected changes. When I went here long ago, Shamu was popular. He's been dead, but his memory is still alive here. New orcas, dolphins, sea otters etc. existed. My friend and I came here since his father owns a timeshare 5 minutes away from Seaworld and we both had vacation time. We were at the Marriott hotel in downtown San Diego where the parking structure was on the top floor, unusual for sure, but necessary in order to park there due to the poor surrounding environment. A lot of places nearby including the boat museum maritime. Seaworld, changed! In the most interesting and good way possible. New rides, more things to do. Last time I went to Seaworld there were only shows involving orcas swimming in a pool of water splashing guests as the highlight, it still is there as usual, which I loved by the way and was enjoyable to witness. Rides: 1. Emperor - 5/5 amazing 90 degree drop dive coaster, with ejector air time and intense g forces, my favorite ride due to having a fresh breeze of the ocean air at the top and a beautiful view of the park. 2. Electric Eel - 5/5 bizarre coaster with a launch and a positive g roll at the top. Not that intense unfortunately, fun and intimidating, but enjoyable to go on with a friend. I enjoyed it. 3. Atlantis - 5/5 intense hybrid water ride and coaster. Two drops, the water drop was meh, but the coaster drop after was taller and more intense g forces on the drop and swivel loop below. My personal favorite tier with emperor 4. Manta - 5/5 most intense coaster there, super fun, launch coaster with strong g forces throughout. Shockingly the most intense ride at the park with the intense factor of the launches and ejector air time and speed. 5. Arctic Rescue - 5/5 super cool ice ride, it's near the penguins in the back and has a bike you sit on that has great launches and strong positive g forces on the launch, not as good as manta, but super fun, went on it more than once and enjoyed it the most. Theming of the ocean from the start before the launch was cool. 6. Skytower/skyride - admission fee rides, very relaxing, $6 per person, the skyride was fun, you sit in a carriage and observe the scenery of the ocean with a slight breeze. The skytower is a tall swiveling cylindrical seated container that overlooks sea world. 7. Closed attractions - dolphin show was closed, looks promising but was not open during spring for whatever reason, roaring rapids ride was closed in spring reopens in summer, the sea otter show closed due to renovation. Food was very nice, I enjoyed it, I got a vegetarian salad wrap at the cafeteria near the orca show. They had pretzels, fried foods, pizza and sandwiches, burgers that looked and smelled good. I saw some people with turkey leg and they had other foods at the food court. My friend liked touching the small fishies that eat dead skin near the entrance. Place is good for older kids and young adults who have children. Not as family friendly as Disneyland and Legoland due to the intensity of the attractions, especially that emperor and manta. Those two rides are more intense than any of the rides at Disneyland, better off comparing those to magic mountain and knotts berry farm level of intense. Outside of the top 2 mentioned (manta and emperor) the other three were relatively good rides with strong intensity (electric eel, Atlantis and arctic rescue) that Atlantis ride was closed for like 6 hours which was annoying and the wait time was long too maybe 2 hours, so rode that ride last just before going home. We were there right when it opened and left before the place closed. I bought a dolphin souvenir t shirt at the shop and I love it. Overall a solid 5/5 for entertainment, ambiance and overall experience. It had great themes and a beautiful environment similar to universal studios but sea based. The orca show was nice, cute host for the show and the little kids sea lion show was relatively meh. I would come back again. I enjoyed it but it is so far Southern California. Unless you live in San Diego, this place is a treat.

We absolutely loved the birria quesadilla, the sweet chili wings, and the FRIES, wow, best fries in the world with an insanely delicious homemade ranch. The drinks were also top notch. Tequila shots with fresh squeezed mango juice that come with a piece of dried mango with tajin (we were obsessed, even those who don't like tequila). The spicy mango margarita is the best marg I've had in San Diego hands down. The service was also amazing. Terrence and Miles were so accommodating of our large party, making sure nothing was missed and that we were comfortable and satisfied with our food. Absolutely can't wait to go back!

The Playground is the rebranding of the suite in the Promenade at Pacific Beach that housed Mati's…read moreBirria + Beer. The business still features offerings from Mati's, but it is now a food collective. A chicken wing vendor and a future chicken and waffles vendor will be sharing the same kitchen. Parking is free for up to 30 minutes in the shared lot. After that duration, you need to pay at one of the available kiosks. Since these were the early days of The Playground, there were operational kinks that need to be smoothed out. First were the unusual business hours (e.g. 9 am to 9 pm on Thursday and Friday, only 7 pm to 9 pm on Sunday, etc). My initial attempt to visit occurred after work on a weekday. Despite the supposed closing time of 11 pm, the doors were locked at 5:30 pm. Second was the lack of prices on the menus. That is a cardinal sin in my book because if you are open to the public, then you owe it to the customers to disclose the costs. The first item for my to-go order was a snack size serving (six pieces) of Chicken Wings. I picked Bonnie's Barbeque for a sauce that featured a sweet and smokey flavor. The wings were coated with the sauce and not deep fried which made them a bit healthier. The second item was a Birria Quesadilla that came with consome on the side. A flour tortilla was filled with cheese, marinated shredded beef, cilantro, and onion. It was then sliced into smaller triangular pieces and then separated by aluminum foil in a takeout box. The consome had moderate richness while the cheesy, beefy tortilla was filling. I didn't understand the meaning of the new moniker as the interior setup had not been modified. It certainly did not have the ambiance of a playground. My first impression of this place was a three star rating with multiple areas of needed improvement including signage on the marquee. If one is driving down Mission Blvd, then there is no way to notice from the roadside that The Playground even exists.

You just walk up, order, and either sit at the bar or a table and wait for your food. It's a nice, indoor outdoor vibe. The front bar area is very aesthetically pleasing, like hanging out in someone's chill living room. They also play really good throwback and chill music in the background. The food is halal, with plenty of vegetarian, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I especially loved the sweet potato fries and their many sauce selections. They also have a daily happy hour, and their sangria is house made. The draft beer list is better here than a lot of places. And best of all, everyone who works here has always had a smile. I really enjoy coming here, and they're very dog friendly.

I got sold on this…read moreplace bc of tiktok but even then the main thing that was highly confusing and a deal breaker was the fact that they only had one bar for their five pools and the only bar isn't located in the adult pool but rather in the family pool! Okay, that wasn't that horrible we could always come by there and get dranks. There isn't pool side service which wasn't any fun at all. We ended up leaving to go to OB for food smh. We come back for a swim and some dranks and the only bar isn't located closed! Mind you, it's a Saturday night I it was only 8. I'm not sure when their bar closes but this is just for families and not recommended for rich aunties lol. Now, I can say I had a great swim! One of the receptionist recommended a pool that isn't that popular and I got a great swim in, that's one of the reason why I went there! I really wanted to swim like I was a kid again, in a pool, just for fun, doing water tricks. Actually I will give them three stars for that and the pools are heated. They could be a tad warmer in my opinion.

This property charges like a four- or five-star hotel, but the experience doesn't come close…read more The room conditions were unacceptable. The coffee maker did not work, the refrigerator was rusted, and the bathtub was extremely small and not clean. These are basic expectations that simply were not met. The on-site menu is priced like a luxury hotel, with items such as $12 oatmeal, $20 bagels with salmon, and $18 breakfast sandwiches. There is nothing about the property or overall experience that justifies those prices. Noise and management are also a problem. At 9:30 on a Saturday morning, there were 20 to 30 people in the room next door playing loud music and carrying on, with no intervention or enforcement from staff. Access and layout make things worse. The roads are essentially one-lane and not suitable for walking, especially for older guests or anyone with mobility concerns. Parking is extremely limited, tight, and poorly managed. Even at check-in, there is no designated area, so cars stack up at the entrance, immediately creating congestion. That was the first sign of how disorganized the property is. Overall, this place is significantly overpriced for what it offers. The condition, management, and overall experience do not justify the cost. The photos and videos speak for themselves.

I wasn't given the manual and all I could find online were PDFs that would only load with Flash player (thanks iPhone) and websites of sarcastic owners scolding people to "read their manuals." I was completely SOL, about to miss the entire event I was supposed to record and there was probably no way they were going to refund the cost of the rental equipment. I pulled up Yelp and began seeing that all camera stores in my area where now closed (8:45pm on a Friday night), except for one who didn't list a closing time. I called. Trevor answered. He was just finishing up a shoot and was in my neighborhood. Minutes later, we were on the street, troubleshooting my dilemma. Within moments the issue was resolved. Trevor refused payment, shook my hand, and was off, like a superhero into the night, not looking for gratitude or reward...just out there, doing the right thing. Trevor, thank you so much!

Service was solid, and it definitely feels like a "special occasion" kind of spot. The Wagyu burger, though, was a letdown. Amazing fries, but the burger itself was surprisingly bland--even with grilled onions and cheese. For $26-$28, the "Wagyu" label felt more like marketing than magic. I've honestly had more flavorful burgers at In-N-Out (animal style), which isn't a great look for a high-end burger. On the bright side, my wife's risotto was excellent--easy 10/10. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the risotto was rich and flavorful, and even the waitress said it's one of her favorite dishes (advice I should've taken). Bottom line: great atmosphere, good service, one standout dish--but skip the burger. I wouldn't go out of my way to return unless someone else was choosing.

The waitress finally came to our table after maybe 15 minutes. She started talking to us then stopped mid sentence, and went to another table. Didn't see whet again for another 15 minutes. Finally she came back and asked, can I help you. I responded, can we get some drinks please. Anyway we ordered our drinks. The drinks arrived after the appetizer. She said the bartender was pretty slammed, but when we looked over, they seemed to be just talking to each other. Anyway the food arrived. We had to call her back because we had no utensils. That took another ten minutes. We had muscles, but nothing to put the shells in, so I just piled them on the table which then of course started this pool of sauce around them, and the table got quite messy. All in all, having the music so loud quite frankly I think I might have hearing loss, and the service being so terrible I couldn't wait to get out of there. Our bill was $200. Perhaps I expect too much???
