So get there early. Service is great, they don't rush you at all. All of the pastries are laid out for whatever you want them to grab. I got regular croissants, chocolate croissants, and their seasonal raspberry croissant. I personally only had the raspberry one but my coworkers LOVED the others! I also got an iced vanilla latte and it was DELICIOUS - very bold and strong! I would definitely visit again.

I've had Relic Bakery on my radar for a while, and signed up to be notified when they do their…read more"drops". When I saw one that worked with my schedule, I clicked in to see what they had to offer. Prices are quite high, $7-9 per pastry on average, and they had a good mix of sweet and savory, classic and unique flavors. I ordered three pastries: charcuterie danish, Kenyan chicken stew croissant, and lamb rillette spiral croissant. There was a fast turnaround for pickup, as I could only select dates from the next day. Their kitchen is located in a more commercial part of Mira Mesa, and parking was easy. When I walked in, I was a bit confused by the setup, as I stepped straight into a room full of baking supplies. I located the cabinet with pickups and grabbed my goodies. Very quick in and out. Overall, the pastry dough itself was fantastic across all three pastries. I air fried my pastries to warm them up before sampling them. My least favorite was the charcuterie pastry. The cured meat on top was very tough, possibly from being over-baked. I didn't really like how it paired with the apricot on top. Additionally, the top layer of the pastry was adhered to the toppings, and came off when I tried to cut or bite into it. The cheese rosette on top was cute but didn't add much to the flavor for me. The Kenyan chicken stew and lamb croissants were absolutely stunning. Both were not soggy and suuuuper flavorful. The ground lamb was tender and buttery, Since it is rolled throughout the croissant, you get some in each bite, the distribution is perfect. The Kenyan chicken stew is bold and spiced. There is a good amount of stew in the croissant cup, and the chicken was not tough. Paired with the buttery pastry, this was incredible. Overall, I enjoyed the pastries I ordered at Relic! They are incredibly pricy, and definitely an occasional treat, but worth it in my opinion.

Have you ever been really hungry and looked forward to what you thought would be a delicious meal?…read moreWell, that's what I thought until I ordered from here. First, they took really long preparing my order that the Uber Eats driver canceled. It was cold and soggy when it finally arrived an hour 1/2 later. Second, they messed more order up and didn't follow instructions so I couldn't eat it. Wait! There's more to this experience. I ordered a second time right after my messed up order and once again they took forever prepping it. The driver got tired of waiting so she canceled and it was passed to another driver. That driver waited for over 20 minutes because it said still preparing. At that point I was over it so I asked Uber Eats customer support to cancel. It's a shame because I was looking forward to making this one of my restaurant spots.

I love cheese and have been staring longingly at this pop-up shop's dates in my calendar for more…read moretime than I care to admit. Today was finally the day, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be! This "shop" is an enclosure in front of Macy's on the first floor of the mall. It was only moderately crowded today, but it's a small space and I could see things being crazy tomorrow. They supposedly offer thirty types of cheese, and I didn't count, but there didn't seem to be that many. In fact, I saw very few hard cheeses. But for everything they had, they were offering samples. How can anyone resist? There were some old standbys like Brie, but plenty I'd never tasted before, and I fell in love with the creamy Saint Agur. Despite the "Cheeses of Europe" name, they seem to be focused on French cheeses. They also had some drinks (not selling those, though) and butters to sample on bread, including a sea salt version with distinct, salty crystals. My friend just came back from Paris gushing about this butter style, so I was delighted to try it for myself. The prices are surprisingly reasonable, with most working out to around a dollar an ounce. It's more than I would typically pay for grocery store cheese, but far less than from a specialty store like Venissimo. Everything is pre-sliced and packaged, which will give true gourmands pause, but I'm not enough of a snob to be bothered. Purchases come with a little pamphlet of cheese recipes and information about cheese types. Credit cards are accepted. If you fall in love with any of the cheeses, they sell them at a number of Whole Foods stores in the LA area, but not in San Diego. So come while you can!

We got our food in a timely manner, and our waiter was honestly the best. He was attentive, made jokes with us, and kept the conversation going, which made the whole night even more enjoyable. I really appreciate experiences where the people around you, including other guests, are kind and open to sharing recommendations. Our waiter also gave great suggestions and was very hospitable to me and my friends. We had a party of seven, and he still accommodated us really well. The food came out quickly, and the appetizers were amazing. I definitely recommend the calamari rings. The only thing I would note is that the wait was a little long, but that was mainly because of where we wanted to sit, and it is a pretty popular spot. We waited about 30 minutes, but it worked out because we walked down to the beach and had a really nice late night walk. Overall, it was such a great experience and definitely worth it.

Tucked into a neighborhood, the restaurant looks great both inside and out. We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice, which made the experience even better. For drinks, we went with the "Her Name Was Lola" and "Sweetest Taboo", both solid choices. To start, we had the tuna tostada (a weekly special) and oysters. Both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly left me wanting more. If you're getting oysters, I highly recommend asking for the house-made hot sauce instead of the usual Tabasco. For our mains, we went with the cod fish and chips and the grilled swordfish tacos. Both dishes were excellent and really hit the mark. All in all, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for seafood.

Our server told us their specials for that night. I ordered the Sea Bass, my husband ordered the special, Crab Buccantini with squid ink pasta, and my friend had the swordfish. Every dish tasted really good. There was one problem with my dish, one of the pieces of sea bass was not cooked, it was pretty raw. One of the pieces was fine, the second was not. I'm not sure how that would happened, unless they didn't cook them together. I let my server know and he ordered me another dish right away, and apologized. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our food. Our server was very nice and friendly. I would come again.
