Example of how we were treated.

Service, The service was horrible, the waitress was very rude and did not come to check on my family, even though the restaurant was empty. Food, The food was also very disappointing. I got the one thing our waitress suggested, the crem brûlée French toast, and it did not live up to it's expectations. It was soggy and not cooked fully. Ambiance, It was a very pretty place with a good view, although the service and food ruined it.

the RAW part of my Crme Brulee French Toast

My family and I walked in and asked an employee if we needed to wait to be seated, and his response was, "I'm not on the clock right now." That was incredibly rude and unprofessional. He could've at least gotten someone else to help instead of acting like we were a problem. The restaurant wasn't even busy, yet we still waited almost 40 minutes for our food just for everything to come out one plate at a time, spaced out by like 10 minutes. Then the French toast came out raw in the middle, which was disgusting. This was my first time here and honestly it'll probably be my last. We came here on vacation expecting good food and service, but instead got terrible customer service, awful food, and a horrible experience.

Halloween Bar crawl. This is my 2nd time coming here. 1st time we came we had dinner and I got me the cool Flamingo drink. 2nd time was for the Halloween Bar Crawl. Got my free shot drink. Nice chill spot to drink and chill with friends as you listen to music. If you never been, then you need to be lol.

Lovely spot! Staff kind and fun, drink specials most nights and this place is cute! Indoor/outdoor dining with cabana feel and privacy curtains. Come for the specials stay for the service.

I was skeptical to try this place since it didn't have great reviews but I absolutely love it! The atmosphere and decor was lovely. The staff was super friendly and the food was great! I dined here with 9 other people during a Bachelorette party. We were required spend $400 as a whole party to make a reservation which is probably the only thing I didn't like about this place. I understand they want to make sure we spend money as a group but that was a turn off and we almost chose to go else where because of this. Despite that little limitation, I really enjoyed my experience. I ordered the French toast and it was so yummy! It was decadent in all the right ways while not being overly sweet. I also had a few cocktails which were also very smooth and refreshing. I will definitely be back if I'm in San Diego for a few days again!

Avocado toast and potatoes

Love the vibe and ambiance. Cool open space to hang out to grab drinks and brunch. The espresso martini was 10/10 for me!

Chicken pesto sandwich

Oh such a cute place especially for bachelorette weekend! Plenty of photo spots for your Instagram feed. We made reservations (just in case) for a Saturday 11:30a brunch. It was not crowded when we arrived and were seated promptly. Keep in mind, there's also a lunch menu section but they cannot serve that until 12 noon. There's an underground parking garage close by and thank goodness Flamingo Deck will validate your parking up to two hours, I think. Our party of 5 enjoyed our entrees. We ordered the following: -Crème Brûlée French Toast -Prosciutto Avocado Toast x2 -Caprese Benedict -Chicken Pesto Sandwich I love how they have some mocktail options so we got a few Lychee Spritz. Delicious, not too sweet and very refreshing. Out of everything we ordered, the proscuitto avocado toast was the favorite. It was freaking delicious! Portions were bigggggg....big enough for females to share so FYI. Our waitress provided great customer service. She was patient with us when we took forever to decide what we want to order since we kept chatting and taking photos/videos (lol yeah typical bachelorette behaviors) and she checked on us periodically to make sure everything was to our liking. Food was delivered promptly....food was fresh and pippin hot. There is a security guard by the door that checks for I.D. Thought that was random since it's daytime and we were here for just brunch. But I guess since this is a bar establishment, it's a requirement. Overall, really enjoyed my brunch here and it help set the mood for the rest of my Saturday bachelorette activities. A few of my girls and I were saying if we didn't have a flight to catch Sunday, we would've came back here and ordered the prosciutto avocado toast and the creme Brulé french toast again.

Our first stop in San Diego, this was a great way to kick off the week! Flamingo Deck was right down the road from the hotel we stayed at upon arrival and we came hangry and ready to get the party started. The space overall was super cute, very fun decor and very open to enjoy the beautiful weather. I loved my espresso martini which was not only picture perfect but very tasty. I also enjoyed my second drink which I believe was the Paloma. I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was huge, overall very good.

Katherine T.

Great place with a fun ambiance! Decorated vibrantly and a fun atmosphere. Came for lunch and got their hummus plate with pita a fresh veggies. Friend chicken sandwich was delicious too!! Drinks were definitely the highlight and presentation and taste was outstanding. Bartender wasn't very friendly amd seemed unhappy to be there, we felt like we were inconveniencing him when ordering.

Salmon and risotto

The vibe of the restaurant is not my thing, but it wasn't bad. The food, however, was cooked to perfection. I got the salmon with risotto and asparagus. Some of the best salmon I've had! Servers were super nice.

The bbq chicken pizza is a must! It's good food with a vibe, except they never came to check on us and had to walk toward the front to ask for the check. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.

Great vibe--perfect for a date night or a girls' day out. Drinks are amazing, and the large sharing cocktails are great for groups of 3-4. Plenty of delicious food options to choose from. They close the dining area later in the evening and transition into a music bar

Alexis B.

Great spot to bring a girl here as they love the aesthetic here. Flamingo deck has a chokehold on the PB girls. They have a solid happy hour and always have a DJ on deck.

Bencotto Italian Kitchen - Lamb Ragu pasta

Bencotto was an outstanding fine dining Italian experience at a reasonable price. I had the cheese…read morewheel pasta and it was of an extremely high quality. On top of that they allowed me to take a video of them mixing my noodles and chicken in the cheese wheel itself which I thought was a nice touch. Additionally they had a large selection of bottled Italian beers as well as wine. The service was fantastic and so was the ambiance which was less Tuscan and more modern with some references to Italy which I appreciated

On a Monday evening in San Diego, we stopped by Bencotto Italian Kitchen for dinner. Located in…read moreLittle Italy, I was surprised by how busy this part of town is. Restaurants and bars filled to the brim. Lack of street parking availability. With that being said, after circling around for a while, I found a free parking spot on the street five minutes away by foot. Ambiance (4/5): While Bencotto has a nice interior, I went with some al fresco dining on their front patio. There are 20 or so seats available right off the street, so it's not a large patio by any means, but it's nice. The weather was a little chilly by San Diego standards, so they had some heaters out there. It always reminds me of Europe when I'm dining al fresco. Service (3/5): A little slow at times, but overall, pretty good. My waiter was friendly, he just could have stopped by a little quicker. Still solid though. Drinks (4/5): They have a nice selection of wine. I ended up rolling with an Italian beer I had never had before instead. It was a lager and they served it with a chilled glass which is always a nice touch. Food (4/5): The reason I came delivered. Their most popular entree is pasta cooked in a cheese wheel. The pasta is in a creamy truffle sauce with mushrooms. No protein but you can add some for an additional charge. I added grilled chicken. What's awesome about this dish is that they cook it for you inside by the hostess stand. So you can go there and see it happening. My server didn't give me a heads-up (shame on him) but luckily, someone at a table close to me did after me, so I joined to see their food being prepared. I also ordered the gnocco frito which is puffy fried bread. You get four pieces and I had never had this type of Italian bread. Not amazing, but it complemented the pasta well. All of their pasta is made in house and you can taste the difference. The cheese wheel pasta was absolutely delicious. I was pumped to cross this bucket list item off my list.

One thing we learned: if you decide to make a reservation here, especially on a weekend night, arrive early to accommodate the time it takes to find parking. The restaurant does not have its own parking lot, it's street parking-only and space is tough to come by. We circled around for at least 15 minutes before securing a spot and wound up a little over 20 minutes late for our reservation. Thankfully, we still had a table set up and waiting for us. It was very busy when we walked in, it appeared as though the restaurant was near-capacity. The restaurant has a nice, rustic charm to it, but I'll admit some of the charm is taken away by the crowd of noisy people. The restaurant space is small with as many tables and chairs that can possibly fit, which inevitably means tables are very close to one another. It would help if the restaurant acquired a much larger space, or if it got rid of maybe 30% of the tables/chairs so that seating could be more spaced-out. Service was initially slow, but understandable considering the completely packed venue. Our servers were incredibly friendly and provided exceptional service. They were patient and informative in answering our questions (particularly about the "cheese wheel"). We ordered the house specialty bread with 3 different spreads as an appetizer, the lamb shank was my date's entree choice while I ordered the pappardelle pasta with short rib. The bread was truly excellent, we both devoured it. My dish was also excellent, the short rib was very rich and flavorful and the pasta was cooked well. I tasted my date's lamb dish, which I felt was bland compared to mine and I wasn't crazy about it. My date seemed to enjoy it, though. We were too full to order any dessert, so I can't speak for their desserts. The food I did try was mostly amazing. We will likely be back, although we might try coming on a Monday or Tuesday night to avoid the crowds and have an easier time with parking.

The Romaine was in large pieces so I definitely needed to cut it before eating. The dressing was very tasty and they are very generous with the cheese. I moved on to the papperdelle Primavera with shrimp and it was very, very good and a large portion. It came out nice and hot. The sauce could've been a little more flavorful, but it was good nonetheless the shrimp were a little on the small side. We decided not to have dessert. I found the price is very reasonable and there is street parking in the area and a large Target parking lot across the street.

We were greeted with warm smiles from every employee, asked which open table we preferred, and the staff did everything they could to make us feel like weekly regulars. I loved seeing the hugs they gave their regulars, and I completely understand why people keep coming back week after week. My definition of a great restaurant is simple: great service -- attentive, anticipates needs, and does everything possible to take care of guests -- plus solid food and drinks. This place was a home run, and we will definitely be back when we are in town. We started with the artichoke, and everyone loved it, even our kids. We ordered the chicken parm 10/10, bolognese 10/10, spaghetti with meatballs 9/10, and Pappardelle Al Brasato 7/10. With the brasato, there were a few questionable pieces of meat/fat, but overall it was still a solid dish. The highlight of the meal was the tiramisu. Damn -- it was light, airy, and full of flavor. It wasn't heavy, nothing was dry, and all four of us dug in and devoured every last bite. Loved the place, loved the service, and loved the food.

She had a lot of great energy and excellent recommendations.. We started with the artichokes in Lemon for our appetizer. It was tender and flavorful. For the pasta , we had the boar Papperadella Ragu, which we really liked a lot and we had the squid ink pasta with seafood, which had a really light sauce that wasn't fond of. I have squid ink pasta with a lobster reduction sauce elsewhere which I prefer. We also had the brasata as a main course which went well with the paparedelli.... A few glasses of wine and the profiteroles with Nutella were a wonderful finale for the meal. I would love to try their fish some other night. The ambience is charming, but the restaurant is quite small and it was packed on valentines so it was a little hard to get around the tables. We will be back.
