They also checked with several times to make sure we had everything we needed, which was great because we were so distracted talking lol so it helped us re-order drinks and appetizers. The spicy tuna crispy rice was soo good, it had a really unique flavor. My drink, the "heads will roll" was BOMB. While the pricing may be slightly higher than other venues, the service and experience were well worth it. Just a warning about a potential GPS issue...Both my Lyft driver and my friends' Uber driver dropped us off two blocks away, on a side street at the wrong location so be alert and don't get out early like we did! Overall, it was an somewhat upscale, unique, and chill experience, and I look forward to returning.

Immediately fell in love with this quaint and chicly decorated speakeasy lounge. The staff was…read moreincredibly personable and helpful. The vibe was relaxed and unassuming. When I made the reservation, it was noted that there is a 1.5 hour limit on the table. Thankfully, Botanica isn't incredibly stringent about this rule as it gave us more time to eat, drink and be merry. My friend and I split the bill and I paid $87.49 with tip included. Here's what we had: Blistered shishito peppers - mild spice but flavorful New York strip yakitori - ordered two of these because they were that good! The steak was tender and the sauce rendered an umami flavor Botanika roll - tasted fine, but it ate one note. You can taste the citrusy parts but not much else. Mochi dessert - you can only get dessert if you order the pre fixe chef menu, but since our waitress didn't know this, she put the order in and gave it to us! We were incredibly grateful because it was the perfect end to a good meal For cocktails we ordered Spirited Away, Dragon of the West, Kyoko Sakura & Heads will Roll. All of the cocktails were beautifully presented and quite tasty.

We opted for a chopped cheese and the Caesar salad wrap. Both were delicious and LARGE (bought the second half home!!) We completed it with the fries (heads up they are the coated French freis..I'm not a fan bit they were seasoned well) We enjoyed the bubble, a perfectly dry Cava!

I love Crafted Coupe. You can tell this is an industry bar--the drinks are consistently good, but…read morethe prices are still reasonable, which is getting harder and harder to find these days. Their happy hour is fantastic, and the bartenders are always friendly, chill, and make everyone feel welcome. It's one of my favorite places to stop for a drink before heading out to dinner. The vibe is unpretentious, the cocktails are well made, and it's just an easy place to relax and hang out. I'm genuinely sad to hear they're leaving this location and really hope they're able to reopen in a new space soon. San Diego could use more places like this, not fewer.

My aunt is a huge fan of this place so she decided to bring me, my sisters, and my mom out for a…read morerooftop reservation. The vibe is really great as it is outdoors but has heaters and small fireplaces available. Everything here is pretty much a hit, and I'm so glad because when I first saw how small their menu is, I was unsure about it! We started off with the onion dip & malt vinegar chips. Somehow I ate so much of it yet still managed to clean my salmon plate. The yuzu addition brought the flavor out really well. Our server Julian was great! He even brought out a chocolate cake and dulce de leche cheesecake with "Happy Birthday" in cocoa powder for the two birthdays at our table. The bathrooms are a fun experience as there are big glass windows behind the sinks so you get a view of the street. Love that both bathrooms are all-gender as well. Great photo ops all around. Parking might be difficult, but we were able to find a spot just around the corner.

A special shout-out to Mike, who made the experience exceptional. He was attentive, always one step ahead of what we needed, and genuinely made us feel like valued guests.

We happened upon this place for happy hour, which is a great deal. The old fashioned was really good and they have a decent wine list, both at great prices. We also ordered some popcorn chicken, Brussels, and the chicken sandwich. The Brussels were absolutely out of this world, as was the sandwich! The popcorn chicken was also really good...but the Brussels sprouts are worth coming for alone. The service was great and there is plenty of bar seating. If you're in the North Park area make sure to stop by, especially at happy hour!

I made a reservation (just in case) because on a weekend you never know. Luckily, though, we arrived and there was plenty of available seating. My husband and I had our 10 and 5 year old with us and they easily accommodated us. It's a straightforward, but lovely menu that has a little bit for everyone. We enjoyed sharing a few plates and fresh oysters on the half shell. They do not have a kids menu, which was alright with us. Our daughter, who loves a good steak at 5 years old, enjoyed their pub steak and fries and shared a Mexican Coke with her brother. For my husband and I, we enjoyed sharing their beef tartare and to finish it off, a banana split. What we found so whimsical about Finca is their presentation. My husband and I really enjoyed exploring their menu and leaving room for a return visit soon. I couldn't recommend Finca more for anyone looking for a fun and casual dining experience with a lovely staff and unique take on traditional favorites.

I think we ordered just about everything on the left side of the menu, but the standouts were the beef tartare, the lamb osso buco, and the hamachi. Honestly, there wasn't a single bad bite all night. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, with some unique Spanish selections that were a pleasant surprise. This may have just become my new regular haunt. It's a fantastic neighborhood gem that deserves a place on any foodie's must-visit list. Absolutely love this place!

As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I found this bar unbelievably great, and not just because the whole menu is non-alcoholic, but because the drinks themselves are thoughtful and well executed. 5/5 stars for both taste and presentation. We tried a couple of drinks and both were exceptional. The flavors were multidimensional, with each element distinct and identifiable. The bold drinks were executed perfectly, smooth, and just an overall great experience. Honestly, we didn't want the experience to end. Inside, there's an area with board games you can grab and bring to your table for some social entertainment. There's also a retail section where you can buy non-alcoholic spirits, bitters, mixers, and more. It's a large space with a good mix of seating, booths, sofas, love seats, so it works well whether you're a small group or a larger party. One note: I didn't see dedicated parking during my visit. Street parking is available but can be tough during peak times, so if you want to skip the hassle, consider visiting during off-peak hours. If you're a fan of non-alcoholic drinks and great food, do yourself a favor and get to Good News Bar ASAP.

I had this place bookmarked for my trip to San Diego from New York after doing a search for…read morenon-alcoholic drinks. This place came up as a completely alcohol free bar and I was so excited to try it out. The bartenders were friendly, the vibe in here is so awesome. Cool things to look at on the walls, an entire shelf of non-alcoholic wines and beers, merch from the owner herself, it was a very unique and hip place. I really couldn't believe I had the bar to myself on a Tuesday night around 6. The message this place stands by is what makes it amazing to me. Check out their website, you'll see what I mean. In the mornings they have functional coffee drinks and by night they have functional cocktails. There were delicious options to choose from, some with Kava, some with CBD. I ended up going with the drink called the weekend, which was watermelon, coconut, peach, cherry sour and lemon. It was garnished with a sour patch watermelon candy and that's exactly what it tasted like. I just had one drink and closed out and my bill came to $21 and I was like eeeeeek. I love the idea of this place, being sober myself and still someone who loves a bar and the social atmosphere I think this place is amazing and needed in every city but I wouldn't stay here and hang out because of the drink prices. I understand the price for an alcoholic drink, not for a spirit free cocktail. It's just not doable, for me. Don't let that deter you, check it out, very cool experience. And again, an amazing message.
