Came on Friday night to support my friend in a Comedy Show. First impression when I walked, "Where…read moream I right now?" What a cool venue! Love that they created the ambiance with real candles. Talk about living on the edge. I had planned for dinner and a show. To my surprise their food options were on the lighter side and I was starving. Since I had time before the show started, I left to grab real food and returned. Luckily some of us showed up early and reserved great seats for us. Close enough to hear and see, but far enough not to get heckled. Upon returning, the bar line was long. My guess is they didn't staff for a full house tonight. One drink took really long, the other one was wrong. Since the line was so long, he didn't want to wait again to have them fix it. We understand mistakes happen. Overall cool venue, stellar talent and will return for live music or comedy show.

I'm normally not a hater but have to warn people about this place. I feel scammed. The standup…read morecomedy and music was fun but make sure to get food beforehand. Do not eat here! They literally serve budget frozen dinners heated in a microwave and charge $25 a plate. My girlfriend's eggplant Parmesan was still frozen in the middle. The comedy is free, the venue has to make money, I get it. But either have a kitchen and serve real food or charge $15-$18 for $3 frozen dinners. Don't charge $25 a plate to microwave budget gourmet frozen dinners from Vons, shameful.

Then I had a steak and blue cheese flatbread. It came with soups or salad, and I had a small cup of French onion soup- good, but not remarkable. The flatbread was accidentally delivered as the blue burger flatbread with hamburger meat instead of steak. It was good, even if not what I expected. It could have used some sort of sauce between the meat and cheese and the bread- or maybe just a layer of melty blue cheese instead of the as crumbles on top? Something to help the toppings stick. My SIL had the tuna nicoise- it looked delicious and she said it was very good. The potatoes are warm- which would be a plus for me! It's a hearty bowl full of veggies including asparagus, salmon, potatoes etc. Several people ordered the shakshuka and said it was very good. It has a bit of spice, and good amount of sausage or bacon. My grandpa said the eggs were hard to find, but I think they were just baked under the sauce and layers of bacon and cheese. Service can be a bit slow- it was more than 30 minutes from when we ordered to when the food was brought out and there were few tables occupied, so be prepared to enjoy a leisurely meal here. Everything is prepared to order- it's worth the wait!

Juno's is a combination coffee hub and wine pub located in a corner suite of the Shelter Island…read moreVillage in Point Loma. Parking in this plaza was not optimal with too few spaces for all of the businesses. The inside setup featured a compact bar with about four spots near the front entrance and several small tables. I believe there was also an outside patio adjacent to a side entrance, but I didn't venture over there to check the layout. For a kitchen of limited size, the menu was rather extensive. The categories on the two pages ranged from starters, sliders, soups, small plates, shareables, salads, flatbread, and desserts. There was also a list of the day's specials that featured eight full size entrees ranging from $22 to $38. I selected the first one from the list which was the Seafood Pasta. Fettucine noodles were cooked in an herbed tomato sauce with shrimp, scallops, salmon, and mussels. The item took about 15 minutes to be prepared. A healthy amount of parmesan cheese was grated on top of the dish. There were roughly two to four pieces of each seafood type. The sauce was light but well-seasoned from the herbs. For the serving size, I thought the $35 price tag was fair compared to upscale Italian restaurants around town. I had no qualms with giving a four star rating for my dinner at Juno's.

They have a few small tables in their outdoor patio too. We came for their Sunday happy hour from 2-7 where they had $7 glasses. Since our visit I saw this increased to $10. There was a choice of one white and one red. I went with the red. Very smooth and easy to drink. I will say I was a little disappointed that I looked up the wine after and it's something you can buy in a local store. We also got a round of spritzes and they were tasty and refreshing. Service was friendly and they were doing their best for quite a busy afternoon. It was just the owner and one other waitress helping. I'd definitely come back and try some other options.

This little spot sits right next to Our Story, the cute boutique the owner also runs, which makes the whole corner feel extra charming. They're in their soft‑opening weeks, and we were so excited to finally come in. We stopped by with our pup Enzo on Valentine's Day right when they opened and were seated on their small outdoor patio. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, and we were immediately obsessed with their wide selection of natural wines -- our go‑to style. We each sampled two options and chose from those. Their list features wines from all over, and we were thrilled to see bottles from Valle de Guadalupe, our favorite wine region. The glasses were beautiful, the pours were amazing, and we loved hearing that many of the bottles are available to purchase to‑go. This is absolutely going to be our new spot for grabbing a great bottle on the way home. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, who was so kind, approachable, and clearly passionate about this space. You can feel how much love went into creating it. The interior is beautiful and intimate -- high‑end, thoughtful details everywhere, and it even smells lovely inside. Rumi, we are so excited to have you in the neighborhood. Us -- and our pup Enzo -- can't wait to become regulars.

My. Oh. My. What a find!!…read more From the time Bebe and I walked in, we felt welcomed. Bebe is my service dog, she's been traveling with me for two years now, so we've had a lot of eatery experiences. Despite her being service and us being permitted to sit inside, I requested to sit on the porch, it's such a welcoming vibe! Ross seated me and offered to turn on a deck heater for me, which I gratefully accepted. Lars was helping another table and I asked her to get my waiter, yet she offered to expedite things by taking my order, which I appreciated. Lars was able to recommend a fabulous glass of wine to go with my chicken. It was under $10 per glass and a total hidden gem! First course was the goat cheese salad, which is a fabulous mixed green salad with goat cheese, pickled carrots, and cranberries (craisins?). So yummy! I ordered Mary's chicken while Bebe ordered the puppy bacon. What a fun treat! We'll be back, what a great experience! Fabulous food, service and vibe. Love it!!!

They also serve wine by the glass, and you can open a bottle in‑shop for a small corkage fee. It would be nice if they offered tastings. I was between two wines from their by‑the‑glass menu and asked to sample both, but the host mentioned they usually don't do samples, which felt a bit unusual compared to other wine bars and shops I've been to. Even so, she was very friendly and attentive, and every staff member we interacted with was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about wine.
