The view .. amazing food was good and the service was on point. This is a good spot to stop at if you're in the area

Disgustingly undercooked eggs when I specifically asked for the yolk to be popped so it's more dry than wet... even the white is uncooked!

If you're desperate for breakfast, know that you can definitely get your stomach filled. Good luck with any kind of request you make on your choice. Service is awful... so late that nothing is even the least bit warm... toast is definitely cold! This is also the first time I've experienced the waiter - or any waiter - not checking in to see how our food was... I guess they already know they suck :(

Wonderful Service ! The restaurant tonight was a bit busy and somewhat understaffed. Our server Johan did amazing at providing beautiful service regardless of the staffing issue. He was doing it all, food, drinks, and service. If you're in that area I definitely recommend coming to visit and seeing Johan.

Our waiter Alejandro made the experience! The ambiance and the wine was perfection. The combination made for a great first evening in San Diego!! We had just a few appetizers and wine so I can't really say much about the food because we didn't try much! We had roasted tomato basil soup and chilled shrimp cocktail. The shrimp was huge and a very good portion of the soup was served! Although my soup wasn't as hot as I'd like and it didn't have mozzarella (I didn't ask for it, I should've but I was enjoying the wine) and we had a Pinot noir and a Malbec for the wine. We stayed by the fire and it was pretty romantic and beautiful

Enjoy the view!

I was in town for conference. The Sheraton is where I stayed for a week. Bay Tower Lounge has a way of making you feel rich, making you feel: "Royal" (by Lorde) I'll let my pics do the talking for me on this one. But I must add, food and beer is very delicious, customer service is excellent and they keep a very clean establishment. Eat outside and enjoy the spectacular view of the harbor! (If you stay @ the Sheraton, do not get room service. You will be rewarded with $5 vouchers per day you do not get service and you can apply it to food and beverage @ BTL. I saved 4 vouchers and the breakfast buffet costs me $6. The price w/o the vouchers: $27.) One star subtraction for not having any form of a continental breakfast for Sheraton guests.

parmesan truffle tater tots, very good
Mina S.

As you can expect from any hotel, the bill will be hefty.. but the food is good and the beer list is great! The Parmesan Truffle Tater Tots were delicious and crunchy. I love ketchup but I didn't use any of the spicy ketchup because it overwhelmed the truffle. My fiancé ended up using it on his fish and chips, which he enjoyed. Now, they have a short tap list but it is mostly local beers. I had a wonderful Gose from Modern Times and I think it is now one of my favourite sours. Fruitland with passionfruit and guava, where you at?? Sometimes you are 'trapped' at the hotel and you need a place like this. And I assure you, it will get the job done.

Do not eat here! Creamer looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. Coffee was curdling  Restaurant staff isslow and careless

Disgusting dirty restaurant. Coffee creamer not cleaned in months. Tables are left dirty. Staff is extremely slow and careless. They lost my food order. Department of health should visit this restaurant. I highly recommend you eat somewhere else.

Great place to chill and relax if you are in town on vacation or just taking a break from all day conferences. It has great view of the bay and an awesome skyline of downtown San Diego. It's an awesome day today to sit outside and take in some rays. Can't beat that if you are low on your vitamins D. Okay, I had to come back and redo my review because what I got was not enough to feed my 9 year old grand daughter! And it's $20 for the fish and chips!! You get two small pieces of fish and a table spoon of cold slaw!! Really??? Come on y'all I'm a grown man what the heck I'm going to do with a child's plate that cost me $20!! We were down here attending a workshop on, of all things, tax liens/deeds. One word of advice on getting involved with this type of opportunity, DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THIS BEFORE YOUR DECIDE TO GET INVOLVED!!!! Research and then research again you will save yourself money and aggravations. People don't do their homework and when it's all said and done they have been talked out of thousands of dollars!! Be sure to look up Real Estate Workshop because it's not what they claim it is at the first initial meeting. They promise many things and even state you'll get 100% money back guarantee, "if you do all they tell you to do" that's the catch. Bottom line, if you want to make a lot of money do it the right way learn, educate yourself, find people you can trust. And things should work out for you. Life as you know is an adventure and we are on one. Pray, Eat, Love. See you next time!

After reading the reviews I was skeptical to try this place. I am staying the night at the hotel with my girlfriend and we didn't feel like driving into town. We walked in and we were immediately greeted and seated. We were offered drinks and got them a couple minutes later. We then ordered the buffalo wings as an appetizer and the fish and chips and the cheese burger for dinner. I was please with the amount of buffalo wings and they were a little spicy for me but still good. After a few minutes of getting the wings we got our meals. After getting the burger and fish and chips I was incredibly surprised how delicious they were. Our drinks were topped off frequently and I was incredibly surprised by the bad reviews. Not only would I recommend the restaurant if you're staying here, but if you're staying at any surrounding hotels I suggest this restaurant. Edit: It's about 10pm on a Saturday night.

Johan has the best menu recommendations. I highly recommend him as your restaurant server. Very kind with a smile

Best service! Johan is the man! I had a great meal and top tier service. The baby kale salad was incredibly delicious

Excellent waiter service. Super slow service. We waited 1 hour for 2 sandwiches and there are only 2 tables are taken. Food is beyond terrible. ---Seafood salad: Hahahahhaa....Seafood as they throw 3 boiled shrimp from the freezer on a half avocado and put some salad leaves under without much sauce. Did the chef use to work for hospitals? ---Roasted chicken sandwich: Chicken meat have a powdery texture and it tasted bitter. It's kinda strange, because there are only 3 charcoal burn marks on this entire piece of white breast meat, yes they didn't cut it. but the entire chicken tasted bitter. The bacon will break your tooth and they use sliced bread for burgers. This is not a sandwich in the first place. The only edible thing on this plate is the fries. ---Fried chicken sandwich comes in croissant. They cut the croissant in half and put the fried chicken inside. My friend also finished the fries and left more than half fried chicken on the table, He said the chicken is old and chewy. ---Fish and chips should be renamed as bricks and fries. The dish is giant, the fish is coated in a super thick layer flour and it looks square, you can use that thing to injure people. My friend didn't touch much of the food. She said the fish is stale and dry. I don't know where did you get your chefs, but it seems my 12 years old cousin can cook better.

Food 5/5 -Breakfast sandwich, made to order, good quality ingredients, very fulfilling. -Chili lime potatoes, crispy, fragrant and bright, no notes. -Orange blossom French toast, my favorite out of the three, the creamy/buttery topping paired so well with the nicely executed French toast. I actually went back to get more of this. You have the options to pick food from the hot bar or to order from the kitchen scanning the QR code at your seat and the food will be delivered to your table. Menu items change often varying breakfast/lunch/dinner and seasons, overall good quality options that make airport more enjoyable. Ambiance 5/5 -Plenty of comfortable seating for lounging/dining/work, peaceful environment and not at all overstimulating. I always enjoy resting here on travel days. Highly recommend.

While there was a waitlist, it moved fast and…read morethe staff were super kind when I explained that the list had moved faster than expected and I was still more than three hours away from my departure time - they said it was no big deal and let me in a bit early, which I greatly appreciated. In the lounge itself, there were plenty of places to sit, many of which were a variety of tables, lounge spots, bar seats, etc. The food was very good and the staff inside the lounge were also great. As a note, I had to go to the other terminal for my flight. All things told, probably took me 20-30 minutes between waiting for the shuttle, the shuttle ride, and security to transit between the two terminals - and this was on Labor Day weekend in the evening for reference.

This time it was restaurant week, so fiancee ordered off that menu while I went with an app + drinks. Their signature mai tai is actually a great value because it's a large portion of straight alcohols (no juice) for around $14 - fiancee was a fan. I liked how many other options with delicious tropical mix ins they had, and relished both cocktails that I tried. Food was good, not great, but above what you'd expect for a "views" centric restaurant that also happens to serve wonderful drinks as well as embody the essence of SD style and hospitality.

Hostess dropped both our menus on the ground cuz she had to confirm which table we were supposed to be sat at. This is what we ordered: Mai Tai - very strong drink. Bf drank most of it Coconut Shrimp - I loved this and the dip it comes with Asian Chop Salad - bf ordered this and it's not his typical salad he would order, but he loved this salad. I was proud of him for trying something different Pan Seared Swordfish - fish was cooked perfectly. I liked it. I wished the pineapples on the plate were a little more ripe. They weren't sweet Flank Steak - bf wanted to order this medium rare but our server talked him into ordering it medium because he always has to bring it back. Steak ended up being too hard and over cooked for my bf. He didn't like it. Both our desserts were in a small cup. We wished they filled the cup more. We had the Chocolate Hazelnut Trifle and Mayo Sticky Rice - they were ok We will be back. We love the brunch here.

The location and grounds of the hotel are very nice, and the view from my room was beautiful…read more Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fully enjoy it because of ongoing construction, the loud air conditioning unit right by the balcony, and the constant noise from being directly under a flight path. I did appreciate the layout of the room; having a hallway entry helped buffer some hallway noise. However, the lighting situation was terrible. There's no ceiling light, no wall light in the entry hallway, and while the room had four lamps, it was still very dark. This made working from the room (which I needed to do) extremely difficult. Even the full-length mirror was basically useless without proper lighting. The TV was small, and the on-screen guide was incorrect throughout my stay, which was frustrating. The in-room phone also didn't work properly, the volume was so low I could barely hear anyone, and the volume button didn't fix it. On the positive side, I really liked that the room included a microwave and refrigerator. They also provided individually wrapped disposable coffee cups, stir straws, and napkins, which felt thoughtful and sanitary. Utensils would've been a great addition. I also appreciated the multiple outlets near the desk and nightstand, though having USB ports would make things much more convenient. I also appreciated that they had a free airport shuttle. The bed was fairly comfortable, and I liked that the room had two stacking desks, one with wheels so it was easily moved. I moved one in front of the window to enjoy the view while working, but again, the poor lighting made that nearly impossible. There is a restaurant on site, but the menu was very limited. Their WiFi was horrible! Check-in was smooth, and the staff member who helped me was very friendly. The only downside was seeing an insect fogger kit and bug spray sitting right on the front counter at check-in. That's not exactly the first impression you want to give guests. Also, as a silver member I always have the option for late check out extended to me upon check in. This particular hotel informed me that I had to wake up and call the morning of departure and request a late check out and only then would they inform me if the request was approved. Overall, while there were some positives (the grounds, view, friendly staff, and in-room amenities), the noise issues and poor lighting were dealbreakers for me. I wouldn't stay here again.

Starlite delivers that quintessential sleek, mid-century modern lounge atmosphere right along India…read moreStreet. The iconic geometric wood ceiling, dramatic chandelier, and moody lighting make the space feel effortlessly cool. The craft cocktail program is legendary, and the elevated gastropub menu is just as impressive, the grilled octopus was tender with a wonderful smoky char, the Jidori chicken was remarkably juicy with perfectly crispy skin, and the sea bass was delicate and flaky. Taking off one star because street parking along India Street can require quite a bit of circling during peak evening hours, and the dining room gets rather loud and dim once the crowd settles in. Still, an absolute San Diego staple and a top choice for a stylish date night, late-night craft drinks, or dinner with friends.

PACIFIC SHORES @ OCEAN BEACH…read more Parking is available on the street, and it's free! We ended up coming to Pacific Shores because one of my best friend's mom was there with her girlfriends. When we arrived, there was no line at all. Security was really nice, and we got in easily. There weren't many people inside around 10 PM, and I definitely feel like this bar is more of a "grab a drink, sit with your friends, and chat" type of spot. It's not a club or a dancing bar. We ordered a round of shots and a mixed tequila drink. It wasn't strong at all, but it was really delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The server was also super nice, especially since our friend's mom kept ordering drinks and shots. He brought everything out quickly and with great service. I really loved the architecture and ambiance. It had a darker, cozy vibe, very much a small, deep-bar aesthetic. They also had some really cool paintings, and if you were wearing white or yellow, your clothes would glow in the dark, which was a fun touch. It wasn't super busy, and I appreciated how easy it was to find seating and just relax. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but it was still manageable. Overall, I'd definitely check out this spot if you're walking around Ocean Beach and want a chill place to grab a drink and hang out with friends.
