    Bronze bird is located inside the Westin and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance and setting is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I called ahead to place my order and got the pizza and churros. Both were delicious. The pizza was a perfect portion too. This place is expensive though which makes sense given hotel food but I'd probably find a cheaper option next time.

    Dinner and a show deal
    Annie D.

    We did the "dinner and show" deal with the Westin downtown which is just a 2 minute walk from the Civic Theatre where we watch our niece's ballet. You pay $10 for 5 hours of valet parking and also get 20% off your check which is a great deal. I had the local catch with risotto. The fish was not overcooked and the risotto was perfect. A lot of options for the kids which was a plus. The food is standard American fare but it was good and not too expensive for a hotel restaurant. We would definitely return next time we have a show to catch.

    Brussel Sprouts

    This was absolutely delicious. I ate the lava cake so fast I forgot to get a picture. Enough food to share for two and it was amazing. The wings were more flavorful than I expected. The brussel sprouts were so soft and tasty. Quick service thankfully split between two people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was just on the off shoot of the front entryway. They sat is far enough away that it didn't feel uncomfortable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Well decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bronze bird is one of the best restaurants in San Diego! I am so delighted! The service is so good! All servers are very friendly and they have the best recommendations! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time we went for the chicken Alfredo, sword fish and poke tostadas DELICIOUS!!!!' I can't wait to go back!

    Bronze Bird is tucked away in the Marriott in downtown SD. Service is outstanding- attentive and timely. I came for an early dinner with a friend and ordered the Wagyu Burger and fries and a smoked old fashion. The Wagyu burger was cooked medium rare as requested and had nice cohesion. It was a nice touch to include a good amount of veggies that I could choose how much I wanted. The smoked old fashion was a fun time, the waiter smoked it live for us using a blowtorch. Prices are a little high for what you get and I was a little hungry after finishing my dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall this was a fun dinner and drinks spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A great breakfast
    Dan P.

    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.

    Spicy chicken sandwich
    Chris T.

    This is located within the Western gaslamp hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was quiet when we arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Lobster Roll
    Jasmine Z.

    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 !! [[HIGHLIGHT]]He sat us at a nice quiet table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant had an open layout & was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mother's Day
    Jessica C.

    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!

    (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!? PURCHASE(S) Barley And Sword Brewing Co. Bier Von Bayern Hefeweizen Beer 16floz Draft ($9.00): Rich amber color, banana bread cloves aroma, low body, banana bread malt wheat flavor, smooth finish, and banana bread wheat aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=-_5ELLmIqfSaoJA0-04n-g Fried Brussels Sprouts ($14.00): Made with pancetta, lardons, balsamic glaze, and goat cheese, this was a flavorfully-masterful way to start our dinner big enough to be a meal on its own! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=FsFypZrbgIzeucQitTL9ZQ Ketch Brewing Celestial Navigation IPA Beer 16floz Draft ($9.00): Golden amber color, hoppy piney aroma, low body, hoppy piney tropical flavor, crisp finish, and bitter hoppy piney tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=zB7OaUe9_pCDSHlhhUSseg Fish & Chips ($24.00): Three small pieces of beer-battered crispy cod, as good as they were, the portion size wasn't the best. The spud sticks were nicely seasoned with a crispy crunch. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=RklxW25ITGBxc52sCj9RXw Barley And Sword Brewing Co. Union House American Pre-Prohibition Lager Beer 16floz Draft ($9.00): Golden amber color, malty aroma, low body, earthy malty flavor, crisp finish, and bitter malty aftertaste. My favorite of the bunch. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=dZF5wt9a9kQDWZoy-anm9Q 6pc Fried Churros & Nutella ($14.00): Chewy, cinnamony, and nutella - 'nuff said! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=WZFafLun5M9qGszHK7b4eg Buffet Breakfast (COMP): All your favorites fresh and plentiful! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=8O8z2owkZclvo9aoFU1fIA SERVICE We were warmly greeted by the host who led us to a table just off the bar area, provided us menus, and shortly returned to take our order. Everything came out at a relaxed pace, the manager even stopped by to chat for a bit, gave me a brewery glass mug, and the entire evening went really well. The following morning, the staff during the breakfast buffet was courteous, continuously stocked all food offerings, and were good about cleaning. Everything was amazing - thank you! PARKING Overnight Underground Parking Valet Only (Varied; $60.00 this instance): We stayed at the hotel, so sadly this was my option. Otherwise, if you weren't a hotel guest, use any other method to get here and save yourself money - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern open space with a well-appointed bar area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=rWv6nZe8E9zLxRn6UPewTw and a multiple assortment of chairs and tables https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=d9c6iNG00ovxLWHLpnoqPQ throughout the area. Decent natural lighting through the various windows while numerous hung electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were TVs at the bar and no background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=VZhZI3Pi6Zsz2afom23YSA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. 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. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $87.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    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.

    Breakfast has great options, huge portions, and friendly service and quick service! Love the design inside too. Breakfast was delicious (see photos), would come back!

    Short Rib Tacos
    Sway T.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute and nice lunch spot if you're working downtown or even just here for jury duty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior can be a little dark so I opted for seating near the windows/patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once the weather is warmer it would be a nice spot for evening drinks, happy hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cheers

The guy pouring was so nice and knowledgeable. We liked the wine so much we grabbed a bottle and decided to drink it there. Added bonus: since it was one of the featured wines, the corkage was free. Bottlecraft is a bottle shop, bar, and cheese shop all in one small, perfectly curated space. They have a lovely outdoor seating area and some indoor seating as well. There are TVs inside, so we were able to catch some exciting March Madness moments while we hung out. When we paid, the host was super friendly and brought us a little ice bucket to keep our chilled wine cold, along with two glasses, and let us choose any table we wanted. They have a wide selection of beers on tap, plus tons of bottles and cans to go. I also appreciate the large section of canned mocktails and NA beers -- love seeing that. They carry wine, beer, vermouth, and more. In the back, tucked away, is Venissimo Cheese, which is amazing. You can order cheese plates, sandwiches, and other goodies to enjoy with your drinks. Definitely check out their website for upcoming events and their current tap list. Such a fun, easy, local spot -- I'll be back.

They now have both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it a great spot to actually hang out instead of just grabbing something to go. You can order beer or wine from their draft list and enjoy it there, or grab a bottle off the shelf and have them open it for you. Of course, you can also stock up and take everything home. Their beer selection is always impressive, with a wide range of styles and hard to find bottles, and the wine selection holds its own too. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. Bonus: Venissimo is inside the store, so you can order grilled cheeses and enjoy them with your drink. A solid beer and a perfectly melty grilled cheese is hard to beat. Great selection, relaxed vibe, and now an even better space to enjoy it all. Definitely worth a visit.
