She surprised us with custom espresso martinis with photos printed on top, which was such an unexpected and hilarious touch and instantly became one of the highlights of the night. It's those little extra things that turn a great dinner into something genuinely memorable. Amazing food, incredible atmosphere, phenomenal service, and an unforgettable night all around.

Moe's is one of our favorites when we visit San Diego. Mission Beach is our happy place and Moe's…read moreis a big part of that beach community. The cocktails, service and food is all really solid but my favorite thing is the old school feel of the design. It's dark, warm and has a nostalgic Rat Pack vibe. We love the black and white photos throughout. Nothing better than meatball Mondays when they serve insanely good meatballs and homemade Bucatini pasta (pic 12). What better to accompany that deliciousness than some signature cocktails. Some of the fam loved the "Fields of Italy." (Pic 3) It's a fresh, crispy champagne cocktail made with vodka, Aperol, St. Germain, strawberry/basil jam, lemon and prosecco. It was perfect for a summer day. I had one of my favs that has been on the menu for a while now called "Party with Elvis." (Pic 5) It starts out like a boss with walnut-infused bourbon, Montenegro (Italian Amaro), tiki bitters, orange bitters and an orange garnish. It's exceptional!!! The last cocktail in the rotation was a traditional Manhattan that always goes perfect with a plate of Italian love (pic 13). It's always classic and the Moe's staff captures it perfectly with Basil Hayden bourbon, Antica sweet vermouth and angostura bitters. If you haven't been to Moe's, you should make the effort because they never disappoint. It's easy to find bright, fancy joints throughout San Diego, but they're an elevated old school gem that's hard to find.

When I go out to eat, I usually order things I don't typically make at home. I make steak pretty…read moreoften and can make a great one myself, so I rarely order steak at restaurants--but Rare Society is the exception. I absolutely love the variety of their steak boards. You get 4-5 different cuts of meat, including Wagyu options, so you can sample a little bit of everything. It's by far my favorite thing to order here. The sides are an additional cost, but everything we tried was good. Nice ambiance, great drinks, and overall a really fun spot for a steak dinner.

-food: delicious, very pricey but paying for good quality ingredients…read more - service: really friendly and knowledgeable about the meats and drinks -ambiance: art deco design, very grand and beautiful. The large area near the exits are not the best place to be in when it's a hot day. The AC does not fully reach that area and it can get really stuffy and hard to breathe because of how hot and humid it can get. -May not be the best choice for large group settings. More suitable for quiet and intimate dinners

Cowboy Star was great, just like the reviews said. We had 6pm reservations and were seated…read moreimmediately. I had requested the chef counter seating because a friend of mine said it was cool to watch the food being prepared and I agree; however, you definitely don't have as much room as you would at a table so each time we didn't finish something, they would take it away, bag it, and then we'd grab it on the way out. They even gave a ticket for it which was super cute but that's all an fyi. We stuck pretty much to the foods with the best reviews. The steak tartare was great. I love bread but we ended up with a lot left over so I'm wondering if we put too much tartare on one bite haha. The Parker rolls are amazing. You must get them. The chopped wedge was great, we split one which was more than enough for two. We ordered the cattleman's bone-in ribeye medium rare then added two scallops. The steak was cooked well and nicely seasoned. I wish the scallops were a little more buttery. Ours were a little fishy but they are scallops so I really can't argue that they shouldn't taste like fish. We had a side of Mac n cheese which was phenomenal. Then ended with the chocolate chip bread pudding. I will say, the only thing we finished was the salad. The portions are pretty legit but I wanted to try all the things and now we have some awesome leftovers to eat this weekend!!

I have been to CS at least 4 times, I am a lone diner and always sit at the bar. I understand there…read moreis usually a wait and that's fine- This last Tuesday 10-6 I brought my son for his birthday after raving for years about this place, the food and the service. This time none of the above shined... from the minute we walked in the hostess was mediocre at best, no warming welcome in fact quite the opposite, it was 3:45b so there had been other people invited in and sat, mind you the main restaurant wasn't even open at that time. we sat briefly at the side bar stools until two places at the bar opened up. The curmudgeon bartender was even LESS than polite grabbed a menu tossed it on the bar and said you gonna eat? (WHAT??) and really? We had already ordered a couple drinks during the small wait so at least we had that going for us. Realizing that the Happy Hour menu was the Only option, which was fine.. disappointing but ok- we perused it and decided on the steak frites and upgraded to the New York steak (mid-rare) other than the filet or the sirloin by recommendation of the SA or busser simply because the bartender gave us ZERO attention, mind you. I was there to spend money and give my son a nice birthday dinner, that we only had (after all of this) another 45 minutes to wait for the main menu that I had things I wanted to eat. We had to flag (let's call him Jim, not actual name) Jim down again for another round while we waited for the food. We got that, with no pleasure of Jim at all, no appreciation nothing- mind you folks it wasn't busy- yes the Padres were playing, but with that the bar cleared out from those going to the game IT WASN'T BUSY- the food came, Jim looked at us as it was presented, no "is there anything I may bring you?",(ketchup maybe Jim would have been a nice offer. nothing) Looking forward to a steak in a STEAKHOUSE- it was overcooked and tasteless. My son who NEVER complains flagged Jim down who never came back to say how is everything, and said hey we're not going to send it back but this is medium at best- my son is a chef- Jim looked and said yeah it looks a little over I'll let them know.. he didn't, he could've cared less and it was clear. Now as the steak got cold, and we picked at it, it was at least tolerable. guys, I was so disappointed, for everything from the entrance to the drinks, to the food and non-engagement of the bartender. Here's the thing, you have a job to do, not just to pout drinks, you need to be pleasant and at least somewhat engaging, of those Jim was none. A waste of money and time, and Cowboy Star will no be a place I recommend to people in SD. What a shame.

The food is delicious here and the place is cute, however, they are consistently understaffed and…read moreit's a problem. If you need a job waiting tables maybe hit them up. If this were the first time, we might understand, things happen and sometimes you have to work shorthanded, but this wasn't the first time, more like 4th or 5th time over a period of several months and every time we come they are clearly understaffed and this place gets packed so it's not like they don't need more people. An entire restaurant is run by 2 servers, seems like maybe the owner and her son, and we could only see 2 kitchen staff working their asses off behind the glassed in kitchen, which likely means no breaks for any staff and everything takes forever. If you don't mind sitting and waiting for your food and drinks, by all means go here. The first time we were almost late for a show because dinner for 4 of us took almost 2 hours. We hope this review might inspire them to expand their staff because the food is delish and we want to keep coming back!

This is probably the longest overdue review I have ever written, but at this point, not writing it…read morealmost feels selfish because I would very much like to always be able to get a table here. But alas, Carbon Angela's Kitchen deserves every flower, every reservation, every "you have to try this place" text thread, and every bit of love. This place has become one of my absolute favorite hidden gems in San Diego. Easily top five for me, and as someone who dines out a lot for a living, that is not a casual statement. There are places you like, places you recommend, and then there are places that start to feel woven into your actual life. Carbon Angela's Kitchen is that for me. Angela is truly the heart of this place. She has this way of making you feel like you are not just coming in for dinner, but being welcomed into something she deeply cares about. And Emanuele is absolutely part of that magic too. Together, they have built something that feels warm, generous, soulful, and so special. They feel like long-lost friends and family now, and I am honestly just so proud of them and all they are creating. The food is the kind that makes you want to order with the whole table in mind. The griglia mista is hands down one of the best investments you can make if you are dining with a group. It is the meat platter, it is the moment, and it is absolutely worth ordering. Four to five people can split it, especially if you are also doing appetizers, salad, wine, and a few extra things for the table. It is such a perfect nod to what Carbon was before Angela took over, when the space leaned more BBQ, but now it feels beautifully married with Angela's warmth, Italian influence, and the kind of hospitality that makes the whole meal feel like an experience. And please do not sleep on the rest of the menu. The short rib is fire. The arancino trio is always a yes. The eggplant croquette? Obsessed. The crespelle? So good. The Everything Salad is my favorite salad on the menu, and the street corn should never, under any circumstances, be skipped. I said what I said. The wine selection is top tier, the appetizers are memorable, and the whole place has that rare magic of feeling cozy, intentional, and completely unpretentious. You can come for a low-key dinner, a girls' night, a celebration, or one of those "we just need a really good meal and a really good glass of wine" kind of evenings. And the back patio? Perfect for an evening under twinkling lights. It is one of those spaces that just begs for a long table, good conversation, clinking glasses, and the kind of night that accidentally turns into a core memory. They also have catering menus available, which is very important information to keep in your back pocket if you are hosting anything soon. What Angela has built is honestly something to behold. One of the hardest-working restaurateurs doing the dang thing in a city like San Diego, and now opening Bedda across the way too? I am in awe and wonder watching it all unfold. It takes so much courage, grit, taste, excellence, and heart to build what they are building, and you can feel all of it in the room. Carbon Angela's Kitchen is a true labor of love, a hidden gem, and one of those places I will keep cheering for again and again. Go hungry. Order the griglia mista. Get the Everything Salad. Do not skip the street corn. Share Share Share, so you can try a little bit of everything and do a tried and true family style meal, you won't regret it.

Attached to another restaurant, you walk in and think, "this is not what I pictured." And then they walk you out the front door and into a covered outdoor space with incredible views from every table. Service was friendly and the perfect amount of attentive. I had a hankering for a good seafood salad and am a sucker for a Louie, so I ordered the C Level Louie Salad. It had the bonus of having blue crab on it. Girl, this salad was huge and not just full of a bunch of (butter) lettuce. It had tons of shrimp and crab, avocado and all the good stuff. It was fresh and healthy and I couldn't even finish it. It was around $31, which I think is reasonable for the actual salad and for the incredible views. My friend has many food sensitivities and ordered the Thai chicken salad. On another visit, I would order this. She said it was an excellent salad and also couldn't finish hers. (We're not dainty eaters.) Def visit C Level!

There were only a couple of times available when I made them on a Monday for the following Friday so I chose the 5 pm over 8:45 pm to give us a chance to enjoy the view before sunset.

For my entree, I chose the fish and chips and loved that it came with hush puppies as well. My vegetarian husband had a few options for non-seafood/meat here and ended up choosing the Mediterranean bowl with roasted broccolini, eggplant, butternut squash, roasted tomatoes, black lentils, fresno chiles, pistachios, fresh herbs, lemon-tahini dressing, red pepper tofu mousse, crispy chick peas.
