Went for Mother's Day, Petals and Prosecco which was a little misleading because they said mothers could design their own floral bouquet in the description and it was just a bucket of maybe 2 colors roses and you got one. Service was ok, I had to get up and ask the server for boxes and the check and coffee. Seemed like they had forgotten about our table at the end. The food was good, but desserts were very dry and stale. Moms were happy though, so that's all that mattered to me! read more

Recently stayed at the Westin and dined at the Bronze Bird twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Had the spicy chicken sandwich for lunch. It was very good. Served piping hot with a nice crispiness. The cabbage slaw on the sandwich was excellent, and i ordered extra as a side dish. The small included micro, diced pickles to give it an interesting edge. Breakfast buffet was one of the best quality Westin/Marriott breakfast buffets. Eggs were very good, bacon was fantastic, fruit was very fresh and in good condition. Service: good service, especially for breakfast when I was running late to get a flight Overall, the bronze bird went up in my book compared to my last visit. read more

This is located within the Western gaslamp hotel. It was quiet when we arrived. It took about two minutes and we were sat at a table. Server: Ricardo was our server and he is fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Food: we were not that hungry, got the spicy chicken salad and asked them to cut it in half. Got an extra side of slaw. I did not realize it came with fries. The chicken sandwich was temperature hot with some spice and crunch with the slaw. Getting extra slaw on the side was nice. The French fries were hot, crunchy, and lots of flavors and textures. A solid delicious chicken sandwich. And great service with Ricardo! read more

LOVE THIS SPOT. Food Service We stopped in for a drink and a snack last night. I got the chipotle lobster roll with pico and fries, very unique flavors. It was fresh and delicious and served on a Texas toast, I loved it!!! My husband got a chocolate lava dessert, he said it was the best treat to end the night with the sweet berries on the side. I had a Paloma which was so tasty & made very well. Juan was our server, super friendly & attentive. He was fantastic !! He sat us at a nice quiet table. The restaurant had an open layout & was very clean. read more

Bronze Bird is in the Westin hotel located where Hazard Center used to be. Wonderful place to dine before our show at the Civic Center or Balboa Theatre. If you eat at Bronze Bird, they have a $10 valet parking price covering up to 5 hours if you have Bronze Bird validation and can show proof you attended a show at Civic Centre or Balboa Theatre. Also there is a 20% discount off of your meal if you dine between 5-7pm, pre-show. What a great deal and the food was delicious! Service was friendly and ambiance was lively. read more

(Dined 08/29/25 FR @ 6:30pm): I saw neither any bronze or birds at this place! After a long afternoon touring investment properties with my realtor, we kept things easy and ended the day at Bronze Bird for a casual meal. We were staying overnight at The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter where the restaurant was located, so the convenience was a major factor. Personally, I always liked to try in-hotel restaurants, and this one looked very inviting. Could this eatery be more than a bronze in our books, or would we end up giving it the bird!?

OVERALL Bronze Bird turned out to be the perfect way to end a busy day and a good night's sleep. As expected, the prices were elevated for a higher-end hotel, but they weren't crazy. All of the food was incredible, but please offer a bigger portion for the fish and chips. The food menu was varied enough https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=IaRXPXWDbFzZEH0mHFBWOg while I wished their beer selection https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=JEYhk2cP1Vz1l8_hIil-Hg was more varied.

Staying at the hotel, this is where they serve breakfast. They give you the option of the breakfast buffet or order off the menu, à la cart. We opted for the buffet. I think the breakfast would be a better deal if you want to eat a full breakfast. If you just want a little bite, then order from the menu. Also, ordering an omelette with the server is included in the buffet; four ingredients. The buffet food was ok. They have a little of everything. I did order an omelette, that was ok. I thought it was a little over cooked, but it was edible. Overall, the food is mediocre. I would eat here when I'm staying at the hotel. read more

What a cute and nice lunch spot if you're working downtown or even just here for jury duty. Got lucky & came here on a Tuesday- turns out they have daily lunch specials & today was the Short Rib Tacos. For only $11, you get a trio of savory, hearty tacos with a touch of queso, crisp purple cabbage, & pickled onions. Normally I would pair it with a tequila or martini, but since I still had other duties the remainder of the day, I opted out :) I heard from the waiter Ernie that Mondays/ Fridays are popular due to the burger lunch special. Good to know if that is what you're craving and are in the area. Ernie also mentioned that if you eat here before a show at the Civic Center, they will give you 20% off! Helpful tip in light of inflation & downtown costs... Appreciate Ernie's kindness! Service is friendly - this hotel has been around for decades so nice to see it operating and having people flow in and out for business /work. Interior can be a little dark so I opted for seating near the windows/patio. Once the weather is warmer it would be a nice spot for evening drinks, happy hour. Cheers read more

Was looking for a place to have dinner before our show at the Civic Theatre and found Bronze Bird here on Yelp with pretty good reviews. Showed up about 5 pm on a Sunday night and were seated right away without reservations. I ordered the pan fried mahi mahi that came on a bed of risotto and asparagus. My wife ordered the short rib tacos. Everything was great. They also give you 20% off if you're going to a show at the Theatre. I read about this and asked the waiter and he gave us the discount without even asking to see our tickets. He mentioned that the Westin hotel (this is attached to the hotel) offers $10 valet parking that is good for 5 hours if you're seeing a show and get your parking ticket validated at the Bronze Bird. We didn't need to use their parking as we found street parking just outside but this is good to know in the future since its only a couple blocks from the Theare. read more

We were going to the Civic Theater for a show but we needed to find a place to have dinner first. We decided on this place because the menu looked good, reviews were largely positive, and was nice and secure in a hotel. I was delighted to hear about the Beetlejuice themed pre fixe option. After looking it over I decided to give it a try. My partner ordered a mixed drink and his entree. After about 10 minutes of lively conversation we realized we have not been served a single beverage let alone the soup that came with my meal. I was starting to lose hope in the wait staff so we flagged down the nearest employee who happened to be James the manager. After we explained the situation he largely took care of us personally and couldn't be more delighted with his commitment to our dining experience. I can't thank him enough for the experience. And the food was exquisite and so unique. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food but I gave one of the special menu. read more

This place was a very pleasant surprise in the neighborhood. Happened to be downtown for an appointment and stopped here for lunch. Don't be fooled by the hotel lobby location, it was very very good. Pizza was great. Caesar was excellent and the fish tacos worked!! Our server was the best too. Zero complaints. Check it out. Good stuff. read more

My friend picked this place because it was close to the civic theater and we were going to see Beetlejuice the musical. I was happy to see they had a Beetlejuice themed cocktail and food menu. We got the Beetlejuice cocktail, Brussels sprouts, the Nosh, the bronzed bird, and the lobster roll. Everything was soooo good! Service was great. I gave my gave my friend props on the choice and we will definitely come back again read more

I love San Diego Restaurant Week & I had to start it off with one of my favorite gems, Bronze Bird. I've been here two years ago and the food amazing for the price point. Ambiance has a modern feel, which blends well with the hotel decor. What I had: Dry Bird - This mocktail has ginger beer and is a nice non alcoholic alternative to add to your meal. This was sweeter than expected and would have preferred a less sweeter drink. Smoked Potato Leek Soup - Warm, comforting and creamy. I liked that it had a taste of bacon in it. Chicken Jidori Scallopini - Perfectly seared and juicy pieces of chicken paired with mushrooms and greens. I had some leftover so I'll be having it again for lunch! Pan Seared Chinook Salmon - This is a fatty salmon but still flaky and light. The salmon isn't pink but the waiter explained that due to the fat content, it's a white color. Kiwi Mille Feuille - This is a flaky dessert with cream in between. It was nicely sweet and you can either pick it up and eat like a taco or use a fork and knife. Valet parking is free with validation and it's 10 dollars afterwards. Definitely will come back again! read more

So yummy we were all happy with our food. Small menu but something good for everyone. Valet your far. Not much parking around there. Located inside the Westin Hotel but so easy to get to for anyone not staying at the hotel. We chose this place for close proximity to the Civic Theater! Great choice! We will be back everything was delicious you cannot go wrong! Great guacamole and green salsa with chips, my chicken fettuccini was so filling and saucy, that burger was insane either way extra bacon and avocado on a brioche bun. Yummy crispy fish and chips that were well flavored! They got us in and out quickly since we were heading to a play! read more

The service at Bronze Bird was top notch. We were greeted warmly and sat outside on the patio during a busy conference in town. Even in December, it was cozy with the fire pits roaring. There were lots of tasty and filling options for vegetarians and omnivores alike - the Brussels sprouts and tacos were standouts for me. I would gladly return, especially for a "business" style dinner with lots of menu choices and very warm service. read more

We had a pretty good experience eating here on a Monday night of Labor Day weekend. It was pretty empty but we got served very quickly from our appetizers and dinner entrees. They were very attentive to water refills but I found flagging them down to be pretty difficult for other things like getting the check or adding items to our order. Our favorite dishes were the brussels sprouts and the fries on every plate. The brussel sprouts were very crispy, and it came with goat cheese and pancetta. The steak was cooked to medium rare, which was juicy and great. I think the salmon was a little too dry but you guys can make that decision yourself. By dining here we get two hours validated parking. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something easy. read more

We came here a couple of times while staying at the Westin Gaslamp district, which came with 2 free drink tickets daily. The service was great. Shout out especially to bartender Adam who was super cool and nice. Only specific beer and wine work for the drink coupons. They were great in letting us know which, in a specific box on the menu. We had dinner our first night and it was decent and convenient. We had drinks and apps another day. Food is not amazing, but it's fine. The fries were good, as were the shishito peppers. The pretzel was dry. Pizza was ok but crust was mediocre. read more

This place was great! We chose it because it was close to the theatre we were heading to afterward, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. When we arrived, it was practically empty, so we had our pick of seats. As soon as we sat down, our waiter, Juan, took our drink order and brought them back quickly. I was torn between two menu items, and Juan was incredibly helpful--he patiently explained both options without rushing me. I ended up going with the Wagyu Burger, while my wife chose the Lobster Roll. We both ordered sweet potato fries, and honestly, they were some of the best we've ever had--possibly the best. My wife absolutely loved her lobster roll, and while my burger wasn't the best I've ever had, it was still really good. Juan checked in on us multiple times during the meal to make sure everything was going well. The only odd moment came toward the end when Juan seemed to disappear--most likely because the restaurant suddenly got much busier. A different staff member stopped by with a dessert menu (without clearing plates), and then what appeared to be a manager came over, cleared the plates, offered my wife a refill, and took our dessert order. Shortly after that, Juan reappeared and checked in on us again. The manager later returned with the refill, and our dessert arrived: fried churros. They were really good--not quite fresh Disneyland-level churros, but still excellent. When Juan came back, we asked for the check, and he asked if we were heading to the theatre. We said yes, not really knowing why he asked--turns out he applied a discount because we were seeing a show. He didn't have to do that, but it was a really nice surprise. Overall, despite a bit of awkwardness toward the end, I'd absolutely recommend this place. Great food, friendly service, and a thoughtful extra that made the experience even better. read more

We came here as a suggestion from my sister. They have a wonderful deal for theatre goers. You can eat here and get 5 hours of valet parking for $10. Show your tickets. The restaurant is located in the hotel and only a few blocks away from the Civic Center. My party had two adults and two kids. Service was good and the food was decent. I have had better steaks before, but the fries were tasty. The Asian tacos were really popular with our kid (mind you that this is tofu and he has never had it before). My friend liked her salad and pizza and my son enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs. The Brussels Sprouts were good, but I felt like they put too much balsamic vinegar on it. Everyone still enjoyed it though. The ambiance was modern and casual. There were a few diners and it was fairly quiet, but very kid friendly. read more

So I've dined at restaurants in about 12-15 Weston hotels in the US. I was concerned that as this was in Gaslamp that it could be a disappointment. It was. The menu is mediocre. Had the shishito peppers - under seasoned, the Gnocci - also under seasoned, tried the Baja Alfredo - the best of the 3. It was a Friday, not very crowded and service was acceptable but could have been faster given the small number of diners. read more

Our server tried so hard he was a good sport . Mediocre food had to go to bad to get drinks. When we asked someone to remove our plates the guys said I have to go get your server for that. Ordered a bday dessert no candle. Will not be back. Typical Sysco food at hotel prices. read more
