My husband and I celebrated our anniversary weekend at The Gaylord. We enjoyed ourselves overall…read morewith the dining and pool. The exception was our short visit to Cask & Crown. After dinner at one of the hotel restaurants, we headed over to C&C at about 9:20pm. We looked for the "special door". We found it, approached, and walked through two doors and entered C&C. The lights were dimmed to add to the ambiance. At first glance the decor was nice and the vibe was chill. We spotted two vacant tables and a row of vacant seats and tables against the back wall. Just as we were about to seat ourselves we were approached by a lady with a name badge. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name. She went on to ask us to exit C&C and wait outside for her to come and get us. We were basically being kicked out. WTF? There were vacant tables, so what was the issue? We were dressed nice as we just came from dinner, while others were dressed in t-shirts and shorts. We were taken aback, and we walked out questioning what had just happened. As we were standing outside she came out and handed us a couple of menus and she went back inside. Just then, a group of three exited and approached us and jokingly said that we could go inside. Then they said, "I can't believe she kicked you guys out, what the hell? There were tables open, what's her problem. I was shocked!" It was clear that what had just happened was not right. Not just in our opinion, but to others as well. Still don't know what the issue was. There were no signs outside to indicate that we were to wait. No one outside to guide guests. There were some velvet ropes, but they had been pushed completely to the side. I didn't want to be upset, but those three guests that spoke to us solidified our feelings. The lady came back out to tell us that we could now go inside. We were the only two people standing outside waiting. I decided to hand her the menus, said we were good, and we left to go grab a drink at the lobby bar. Not sure what the issue was but it was handled poorly. If there was some type of protocol to follow and it failed, she should have seated us, rather than kick us out, and then step back into the flow of things. Wish I could give this place a higher rating. Maybe we'll try again in the future.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Walked inside and we were SUPER stoked to try it. Place…read morewasn't busy, plenty of seating so we sat in the middle at the comfy couches. There were 6 of us. The gal who was doing security gave us menus and said the bartender would be by and they do table service. She gave us menus but no water. We waited for more than 10 minutes and watched two bartenders behind the bar never come over, not even greet us, bring us water, say "hey I will be with you" ... nothing. And they weren't rushed or slammed, nobody was ordering, they just didn't come out to us or even look at us, bring us waters, nothing. And by the way, their menu is disgustingly overpriced. $25 cocktails (very basic) Average cost for a GLASS OF WINE.. $30-$55 per POUR. for a mid af $100 bottle of wine lol. 55 dollars per glass of wine and we could not get an acknowledgment whatsoever. We ended up getting up and leaving and as we were walking out the bartender ran over (super quick btw, so he does have legs) and said hey where are you guys going, and we said we're leaving and he said "I was gonna come over right now" It was so cringe like he was chasing a tip from us since we had a medium size party. Not worth the hype, not worth the reviews, the influencers who post about this place probably worked something out with the management or hotel because this place is a total miss. Not even a swing and a miss. I can't say enough bad things about it.

I've been here several times and honestly, you really can't go wrong with the food! It's usually…read morepretty busy, but there are so many options to choose from Mexican seafood, sushi, tacos, burritos, carne asada, burgers and more. Today we had the fish tacos and Sinaloa-style tostadas with shrimp, avocado, cucumber and all the good stuff. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the sauces! Taco Tuesday is also a great deal 2 fish tacos for the price of 1, and the tacos are actually really good and filling with avocado, veggies and plenty of sauce. One of the hardest parts about coming here is deciding what to order You order at the counter, sit down, and then you start seeing all these different plates coming out to other tables looking SO good that you immediately want to get back up and order something else! I try to get something different every time I come. They also have Micheladas, which are delicious. Pretty much everything I've tried here has been good, including the carne asada tacos, burritos, sushi and seafood. My only little disappointment today was that we asked for chips to go with our ceviche and they never came. Usually they're really good about bringing them when you ask, so hopefully it was just because they were busy. Overall, the food keeps me coming back. Great variety, good portions, lots of flavor, and there's always something new I want to try! The ambience it's pretty good everyone's just chilling and drinking. Especially these hot days we been having .

This place was so well loved the person that recommended it gave us an escort to make sure we found…read morethe right restaurant. She highly recommended the surf and turf burrito and shrimp tacos. Our group got fish's tacos, Taco Gobernador and caldo mixto. Everything was delicious and very generous portions. We were enjoying our food so much I didn't get picture of the tacos and soup. My favorite part was an pepino aguas frescas I've been craving and found here!! Service was fast and very friendly. Looks like it would feel like a club at night and weekends!

We stopped by for a quick bite and unfortunately had just missed happy hour. Despite how busy they…read morewere, we were seated outside on the patio right away. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, the kids cheeseburger and chips with guacamole with salsa. The chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. The fries were crunchy and perfectly salted, and my son loved his cheeseburger. The guacamole was pretty tasty, but I can't say the same for the salsa. It was pretty bland. Our server, Celeste, was very attentive and took care of us. I appreciated that she also went out of her way to move the umbrellas to make sure the sun wasn't in our faces. I loved sitting outdoors during sunset. It was quiet in the patio, and even though the ocean is in the distance, the view was lovely.

I've drank here twice and eaten here once. I went to watch Sunday football games recently. Very…read moreoverpriced for bar food. Chips with guacamole is $9 half price-originally $18?! The Brussel sprouts were on happy hour which were half price at $8-they were delicious. My husband got the buffalo fries which were not good and the blue cheese had no flavor. Also, ordered micheladas and those were not good at all. The screens to watch sports are amazing. The waitress also came by to let us know that it was a smoke free area and to put our vapes away which we did not smoke just had them on the table, so I thought that was strange to tell us. The upstairs was not open even though they were full downstairs. If it wasn't for their multiple screens I would never come here to eat or drink.

We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.
