    Tried the steak sandwich on ciabatta and it wasn't too bad. Steak was thinly sliced and flavorful tho the chimchurri leaned on the creamy side, it was missing a little something. Service was super friendly! Bushfire has both plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which was nice too. Saw they have a decent happy hour but it's only from 2-5pm!

    We had Bushfire kitchen cater a work event and got empanadas and they were amazing!! We got chicken, beef, and veggie. Highly recommend all of them. Flavorful, great spices, and tasty crust! I spoke with Willie who was also so nice and friendly. We will definitely be ordering from Bushfire again!

    We stopped at Bushfire Kitchen today while traveling with the NAU Women's Soccer Team for our pregame meal, and it was exactly what we needed. The prices were fair, the quality of the food was excellent, and there were plenty of options to satisfy everyone. Most importantly, all of the ladies enjoyed their meals--which isn't always easy with a big group! A huge thank you to Trudy, Ozzy, Andrew, and Mary for their outstanding service. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and ensured our team was well taken care of. Traveling as a group can be stressful, but their kindness and efficiency made it seamless. Highly recommend Bushfire Kitchen for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality food at great prices with top-notch service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

    Nice place to meet up for lunch that has something for everyone. I usually order their Green chicken curry or salmon bowls. Both have good portions that are perfect. It gets a little busy around noon but most of the time there's hardly anyone in line. Counter order and find your own table. There is a nice large outside patio in front and indoor seating. The people who work here are nice and patient.

    Amber ale and salt & lime lager

    Excellent service from Trudy! Super friendly and warm, went out of her way to make us feel pampered! Let us taste the beers, patiently walked us through the happy hour menu, when the beer tasted a little stale, she set up a brand new keg and gave me a fresh glass, then heated up wet napkins to clean our hands. Store is clean and comfortable but a little empty during 5pm Wednesday. Beers were delicious and great deal at 50% off 3-5pm HH time. Chicken wings were crispy and we liked the Nashville hot sauce. Beef empanadas were ok, a little dry and could use more flavor. Only minor complaint is the HH food pricing doesn't seem such a good value. Overall great service and great beer happy hour!

    Delicious  food and great brew  Blonde ale my favorite!!

    Fun place with a great view. We went for brunch and they had a good brunch menu. I liked the way…read morethey keep the bee theme going with the cocktails too. Food was good, service was great, and the atmosphere was laidback. And yes, I had oysters for breakfast. No regrets.

    My fiancée & I have come to really appreciate San Diego Restaurant Week as an opportunity to try…read moreout eateries we've never been before. Which is what brought us to Beeside Balcony in Del Mar during the 1st SDRW of 2026. We had Saturday night reservations & got into town early with some time to kill. We found nearby street parking fairly easily. The hostess was able to quickly accommodate us with a table despite our early arrival. Indoor dining space is minimal. But as an upstairs restaurant with "Balcony" literally in its name, the outdoor patio is where you want to be. Our server was a inconsistent on attentiveness & was slow to warm up, though she was quite personable later in the meal. Along with all of the al fresco charm dining on the balcony offered, there was also a curious & less desirable element of the ambiance. During our meal, someone went around shooting pics/ videos for social media. It felt distracting & intrusive. While the SDRW menu was what brought us here, we opted for the Chef's menu after looking over all the options. I ordered the Salmon Croquette/ Denver Steak/ Churros. She ordered Cioppino Soup/ Barramundi/ S'More Cake. Although the pacing of our courses from the kitchen was uneven, most of what we had was good to great to wonderful. Sharing tastes of our dishes with each other, the 1 egregious miss for me was the Cioppino Soup. The seafood in it was good. But that broth was not. Aside from that, the Salmon Croquette & the Barramundi were delicious. The Denver Steak was a revelation. I'd never heard of this cut before, so I looked it up. Truly, a bang for the buck all star. & prepared perfectly here with a fantastic chimichurri. For our desserts, my Churros were good but not anything to get particularly excited about. Now, on the other hand, that S'More Cake? Wow. insanely indulgent with an ooey-gooey center. I honestly can't think of a better way to end a meal. Overall, the ambiance, service, & food all had highs & lows. Collectively, though, the sum total of the experience was pleasant enough that I would be interested in coming back. My threshold for 4 stars is if I'd come back. So, 4 stars it is.
