We had an amazing experience with the chef’s hand selected menu. The tuna tartare was so refreshing and the salad had this poppy seed dressing that was soo amazing! The lobster pasta was to die for, but the best course was the wagyu, hands down!

Authentic Italian. Delightful energy and ambiance. Friendly and professional waitstaff. Excellent fresh burratta appetizer. I had a pasta (spaghetti)with olive oil, parmesan, mushrooms and garlic. Creamy and very delicious. Nice unpretentious wines by the glass and very reasonable prices. A home-run on all counts.

Had a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs with home fries and toast. Even for such a simple meal it was DELICIOUS. Can't go wrong with ordering anything on their menu. They serve good food for a good price - it's why folks keep coming back. Love DZ Akins.

Everything was great. The presentation of the Ceasar salad, along with the delicious dressing, was excellent. I like the choices of sauces, like the bacon jam. The pasta was perfect and you can't go wrong with topping the meal off with some gellato.

It’s not easy to find a restaurant in San Diego that offers excellent service, a meticulously designed atmosphere, and high-quality dishes at a reasonable price. It was a great find. Especially for someone like me who absolutely loves seafood, I highly recommend it. I don’t usually write reviews, but this place deserves five stars.

Charles & Dinorah at The Pearl Hotel is such a hidden gem! It's quickly become my go-to date night spot in San Diego. The food menu changes seasonally, which makes each visit so fun and we've never had a bad meal. My bf loves their craft cocktails and I always go for a glass of wine; their glass prices are great! Happy Hour all day Tuesday and Dive-In movie nights are some of my favorite days to go for dinner.

The dj and vibe were exactly what we wanted for a bachelorette brunch! The food was good and it was helpful that the waitress told us what was not available from the menu. Overall it was a fun experience!

Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious. However, they said ‘seasonal jam’, which is apparently the little packets of smuckers jam, and we needed to ask specifically for utensils.

The food is soooo good. My friends and I loved and for sure will go back there. The waiter was very sympathetic and professional. The only thing that I could complain is that was too noisy for a moment ( not all the time, but I almost couldn’t hear my friends). I super recommend this place.

We went to Swagyu again last night. It was great as usual! We had a party of 6, two of us got western burgers, two got the fillet, and the two kids split the mac and cheese. We also had the bread to start, the broccolini to round out the fillets, the fried rice as an appetizer, and the brownie for dessert.

The food was good - between the 4 of us, we tried ramen, a bento box, yakitori, and wagyu beef. Everything was good. We sat on the outdoor patio, which was a nice bonus. The music was a little loud; I could only figure they had a DJ for variety and to drown the news of the casino. The tables are very small and mostly round so it seems it would be a bit hard for parties over 4.
