Huntress - Steakhouses Near Me - San Diego, California

When our dinner plans fell through at the last minute, we were pointed in the direction of this location and it turned out to be the perfect start to a great night. We grabbed seats at the bar and received amazing service from start to finish. The vibe was lively, and the decor really added to the energy of this particular location. Now, on to the food! We started with a round of spicy margaritas, and they definitely lived up to their name. I believe there was a Thai chili in mine, which added a great kick. So good! Two of us split the cheeseburger, made with a house blend, aged Comté, caramelized onions, and a port wine demi-glaze. This was one seriously good burger, with great flavor and a perfectly balanced combination of toppings. One of us ordered the Citrus Half Chicken with California Mary's chicken, green harissa, herbs, and a radish salad. This was extremely good, and the chicken was blackened to perfection. Lastly, we had the grilled snapper with summer squash, verde chili crisp, smoked fish fumet, and mashed potatoes. This was another excellent dish, and the friend who ordered it said it was quite possibly the best snapper dish he's ever had. Unfortunately, we didn't take any photos of these dishes--a move I sincerely regret since I love archiving our meals. I guess I'll just have to make up for it on the next visit! What started as a last-minute change of plans turned into a fantastic evening. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area and would highly recommend this location. read more

We've been wanting to try Huntress for a while and finally had the opportunity--and it was absolutely worth the visit! The restaurant was kid-friendly, and the hospitality was on point from beginning to end. Add in great cocktails and champagne, and we were already off to a good start. We started with the Wagyu Steak Puffs. They were good, although I'll admit I expected a juicier bite since it was wagyu. They leaned more toward a crunchy texture than I anticipated. But then came the Tuna Tartare & Bone Marrow. BABY! This was the star appetizer. Crazy flavors, unforgettable textures, fresh tuna, briny capers and that richness from the bone marrow all worked together beautifully. Easily one of the best appetizers I've had in life! For our mains, the Wagyu pasta was delicious and packed with flavor, but honey... THE BURGER STOLE THE ENTIRE SHOW. Juicy, flavorful, cheesy perfection. And that port-wine demi-glace? Chef's kiss. They ask if you want it served on the side, but I'm telling you right now: DO NOT be shy with that sauce. Dip it, pour it, soak that burger in it! The demi-glace completely takes it to another level. Hands down, this is now my favorite burger of all time and I do not say that lightly. Huntress, we will absolutely be back! read more

Huntress was the final stop on our anniversary crawl, and it was hands down the highlight of our entire day. The restaurant itself is breathtaking with an elevated, gorgeous atmosphere. They seated us at a high top for Happy Hour, and right away we noticed a sweet, handwritten note from the Huntress team congratulating us on our anniversary--such a thoughtful detail! We were so excited by their online Happy Hour menu that we ended up ordering four plates: Beef Carpaccio: The absolute star of the night. Raw beef served on a crisp, thin tostada--we were not expecting to love it as much as we did, and it was the very first dish we finished! Caesar Salad: Incredible. Even my boyfriend, who normally isn't a salad person, completely finished his half. Smashburger: Super juicy with amazing melted cheese. Mac & Cheese: Great depth of flavor, even if the sauce was just a tad runny. To top it all off, the Happy Hour wine was smooth and delicious. Huntress made our anniversary feel truly luxurious and memorable. We can't wait to return! read more

Finally got to check this place out. I love they have an all night happy hour. I would say all day like their menu but they open at 5pm Inside is a lot smaller than I expected. The place was packed for a Thursday night. Got a place at the bar and placed my order for the Smashburger and a Late Night Lover cocktail. The ambiance and atmosphere was lively and at the same time a great place for a nice dinner date. My hamburger arrives but oops they forgot my drink. She came over and apologized and got my drink right away. The hamburger looked amazing but the top bun was cold? How could that be? I didn't send it back and just ate it. Besides the cold bun it was a very delicious hamburger. I would highly recommend it! I think it was $12 and a good deal. Would have been amazing with a warm bun. The drink was very refreshing and was $16 dollars. I would definitely be back but they need to warm my buns I took off 1 star for the cold bun and forgetting my drink. Oh and 10 stars for their bathroom! Very modern and clean. read more

I finally got a chance to dine here! I had been to two events at this location but had not have full dinner service. I give 4/5 as I did think it was amazing but just a few things I noticed. We had the chicken liver moose (AMAZING) but the bread that came with it was too buttery and rich in my opinion. I wish it would have come with non buttery bread. We asked for some non buttered and she said they didn't have that but suggested getting the 3 butter and bread app. We ordered this and were happy we did, the butters are amazing as well as the little loaf of bread. We ordered the beef carpaccio. I wish there wasn't as much cheese. I feel it really overpowered the entire dish. We also had the yellowtail Serrano, the Wagyu beef puffs and the tuna tare tare bone marrow. The yellow tail and beef puffs amazing! The bone marrow and tuna were good however the combo I feel maybe not necessary one sort of took away from the other. And these were served again with the buttery bread. For dessert we had the magic mushroom. This was so neat and delicious! Overall our visit was great. I just feel the things I didn't enjoy as much to be more of my preferences vs not enjoyable! read more

First time visiting. Food was four stars, but service and ambiance was five stars!!! We sat at the bar so we could choose between happy hour items and the regular menu. Amazing service with Javert!!! He was very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Made us feel special for sure! For the food, we started with the Parker House Rolls - so soft and moist. They came with three butters - black garlic, togarashi, and miso. My favorite was the miso because it was just more of a sweet, salted butter. I ordered the Lamb Chops medium rare! They were cooked to perfection, and I loved the simple salted, grilled flavor of the lamb. I wasn't a fan of the pickled veggies and yogurt that came with it. My husband had the Steak Frites. The steak was above medium rare and just could have been more tender overall. For dessert, we had to get the magic mushroom. It had the best presentation. This particular mushroom had a peanut butter mousse and cherry compote! It was so rich! Def meant to be shared. I would def recommend this place to a friend for the happy hour menu. I do think $52 for only two lamb chops and a cold side doesn't match up. With that being said, I would return for the Parker House Rolls alone haha. Overall, we had a great experience! read more

A stellar spot for happy hour and celebrations. I noted in my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and the staff thoughtfully acknowledged it with a card. The restaurant was not overly busy during weekday happy hour and the happy hour menu was available both at the bar and on the patio. Our server was fantastic with recommendations and checked on us frequently throughout the meal. *By Land & Sea: one of the most unique cocktails I've tried. The truffle garnish added a savory finish that completely transformed the drink. Once mixed, it resembled an elevated spa water with layers of aromatic flavors. I found it complex and fascinating, while my partner thought the flavor combination was surprisingly bold. *Far From The Tree: an excellent twist on an espresso martini. The apple and spice notes were prominent and reminded me of a warm slice of apple pie. *Late Night Lover: reminiscent of a fragrant Cosmopolitan. Fruity, bright, and approachable, making it an easy crowd pleaser. *Fresh Baked Parker House Rolls: although the menu only mentioned togarashi butter, we were also served miso butter and black garlic butter. The rolls were warm, fluffy, and delicious on their own. Of the three spreads, the miso butter was the standout with its balanced savory richness. The togarashi butter felt a bit coarse, while the black garlic butter was more subdued than expected. *Parmesan Truffle Fries: a classic executed well. The fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy within, and thoroughly infused with truffle flavor. *Huntress Oysters: arrived dressed with mignonette, which happened to be my preferred accompaniment. The acidity brightened the oysters nicely, though some may prefer a simpler preparation with lemon or horseradish. *Smashburger: a well executed burger with a thin patty, perfectly melted cheese, and enough aioli to keep every bite juicy and cohesive. *Beef Carpaccio Tostada: the pecorino was the dominant flavor, though there was a subtle sweetness from the filet beneath. The tostada remained impressively crisp despite the generous toppings. A brighter acidic element would have helped tie everything together. *Lumi Yellowtail Serrano: a solid yellowtail carpaccio. Despite the presence of serrano and pickled Fresno peppers, the sweet ginger soy was the most prominent flavor. The fish itself was tender and fresh. *Steak Frites: cooked to a beautiful medium rare and finished tableside with torched herb butter. The steak was thick and tender, though it could have benefited from a bit more seasoning and a larger portion of the port wine demi glace to enhance its richness. *Magic Mushroom: easily the most theatrical dish of the evening. The smoke presentation and glass dome drew attention from nearby tables. The peanut butter "trunk" paired wonderfully with the white chocolate elements, while the crumb base provided texture without overwhelming the dessert with sweetness. We initially came for the food, but the cocktails ended up being the true highlights of the evening. The beverages were creative, ambitious, and remarkably well executed. The food was also enjoyable, though a few dishes left room for refinement. Overall, the combination of excellent service, thoughtful hospitality, and inventive cocktails made this a memorable celebration spot. read more

Great restaurant in the Gaslamp! We have been coming to Huntress for years and always enjoy our evening. The ambiance is warm and inviting yet fun! Staff is amazing! Everyone we interact with is friendly, helpful and professional. James, as our server, is off the charts. He really takes it to an another level. Lately my wife and I have been creating our own surf and turf by ordering the 12 ounce Wagyu strip and the local White Sea Bass. Last time we mixed it up and ordered the King Salmon with the Wagyu. The Wagyu is on the specials menu as was the Salmon. The White Sea Bass is on the standard menu. It's fantastic combination that is perfectly prepared with loads of flavor and creativity. We typically start with the Nduja prawns which have a sauce with just the right kick. We always have a great time and highly recommend! read more

Came here a few years ago and didn't think much of it but recently visited and it's definitely improved! I remember the Parker hours rolls clear as day. The trio of butters are delicious! The spring snap salad is something I hope stays on the menu - very refreshing. Loved the nduja prawns, the sauce is nice. Now the mashed potatoes have always been good but the new grilled asparagus is a great side they've added to the menu. Our Wagyu cut was perfectly cooked and the service was super attentive. Shout out to John for the great hospitality! read more

Came here for anniversary dinner and 'twas a good meal! They came to our table with an anniversary card, which was a nice touch. We ordered the oysters, bread, buratta, huntress burger and the wagyu A5 steak. Let's first start with the bread... The waitress was really smooth in asking if we wanted bread. Over here, we thought it was on the house, but it's not lol. With that said, the bread was good and you they give you 3 different butters to go with it. The burrata with tomatoes were delicious. The burger was nothing special but the A5 steak was worth every dollar. The meat just melts in your mouth! Drinks here are also good. Staff here are so friendly too. Great spot for a date night. read more

We came to Huntress on Valentine's Day and absolutely loved it, so we decided to come back on a less busy night, and the service was even better. We tried a few new cocktails, the Haze and Embered. Both were amazing and came out quickly, but the Embered was our favorite. Even the mocktails impressed us, the Last Cinder and Lavender Refresher were both fantastic. This time we started with the rolls, and the miso butter was incredible, easily our favorite of the trio. We also had the tuna & bone marrow, which was rich and delicious. The prawns and yellowtail were just as good as when we tried them last time, and the wagyu steak bites never miss. For entrees we had the bavette frites, citrus half chicken, shrimp & mussel spaghetti, whole snapper, New York strip, and bacon chop (we were a large group!). The citrus chicken was a showstopper. For a steakhouse, they make an incredible chicken dish. My boyfriend was blown away and has officially named it his favorite chicken recipe ever. The bavette frites were excellent, the steak was perfectly cooked and served in a beautiful sauce. The cut is similar to a flank or arrachera-style cut, and it was executed perfectly. The shrimp & mussel pasta was flavorful and cooked perfectly al dente. The whole snapper was deboned and prepared beautifully, and the Vietnamese sauce reminded me a bit of Thai larb, very balanced and fresh. I'm usually not a pork chop fan, but the bacon chop was flavorful and juicy. The New York strip was a classic steakhouse staple, grilled perfectly. For sides we ordered the squash, mashed potatoes, and comté potatoes. The comté potatoes were a table favorite, perfectly seasoned and incredibly crisp. We finished with the Magic Mushroom and Chocochata desserts, which were both beautifully presented and delicious. We were celebrating a birthday so we also got a complimentary birthday dessert, very similar to the Magic Mushroom but shaped as a birthday candle. We came a little early for the DJ, but the music selection was still great. Our server Chris was friendly and attentive, our glasses were always full, the table stayed spotless, and he made great recommendations (my boyfriend is still talking about the citrus chicken!). The manager Rob also checked in multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. We'll definitely keep coming back to Huntress. read more

Huntress Called for a reservation and immediately got hit with an automated system saying all representatives were busy and giving wait times like a customer service hotline. For a steakhouse at this level, that really shouldn't be part of the experience. Ordered wine and it came in a plastic wine cup, and some of the sauces tasted a little processed. Overall though, the actual entrées and meat were incredible. Definitely some of the best-tasting dishes and steaks I've had, and I most definitely will come back for the food alone. Our server was honestly the best -- great sense of humor, very human, personable, and made the experience much better. Just please get rid of the automated phone system. It takes away from the high-end experience right from the start. read more

Visiting from LA and decided to eat here since it was close to my husband & I hotel We were checked in quickly, which is a plus especially for a Friday But the cons outweighed the quick check in: * Our server wasn't very welcoming, my husband (who has background in hospitality business), had questions about the chefs selection and the seafood platter; our server (James) gave short passive answers and seemed annoyed. --he was serving another table with a couple next to us, and he took his time in explaining whereas we didn't get that experience * We were rushed (menus were taken away before we were offered or asked if we were interested in more options) * lastly I went to the bathroom and the gentleman (with blonde hair at the front) left the bathroom abruptly without washing his hands...

Made a reservation here to get dinner with my friends and girlfriend. We ordered the dry aged tomahawk, the bavette fries, the new york strip, lobster curry soup, lumi yellowtail serrano, the wagyu steak puffs, the choco chata, and the magic mushroom. The inside of the place gave more family vibes than it did date night vibes. The steaks were good. The tomahawk was massive. The bone was ginormous-you pay by the oz, so the bone was probably a good 1/3 of the cost. The lobster curry soup was delicious, but portions were really small. The wagyu steak puffs were good, but they only come with 2 puffs, so we had to order another order so everyone at the table could try. The service was good, but extremely slow. Our server James came to the table once to ask us if we were ready to order and after giving the recommendations, he never came back to ask if we were ready to order. We always had to flag him down the second time. Our reservation was at 7pm and we didn't leave the place until like 10pm because the service was that slow. The magic mushroom was different than most desserts you would find at a steakhouse. I liked it, but wish there was more ice cream on the side. The choco chata was recommended by our server, but I wasn't a big fan. The chocolate was like a rich chocolate puck of ganache and didn't really have much else to go with it. If you like rich chocolate, then get it. It doesn't come with ice cream either to cut the richness. We also didn't notice this on the receipt until it was too late, but they charged us for the parker house rolls that we didn't even order. Definitely would not be recommending to anyone I know unless I hated them. TLDR expensive and slow read more

Popped in the lunch Saturday right when they opened during ComiCon and was able to get a nice spot outside. The restaurant was well decorated and clean with high ceilings. Our server(s) were very polite and quick to respond to a request for hot sauce and salt/pepper. I'm not sure if the lunch menu was amended to make it more manageable for the chaos that is ComiCon but we had a French dip sandwich and Mac and cheese which were good. I thought the sandwich was particularly tasty and had a nice, fresh flavor. Reasonably priced for the quality and ComiCon crowd too which was a plus. I would be interested in trying the dinner menu next time I'm in town. . read more

"OMG, Dave! Four stars for Huntress??? What did they do to not earn a fifth star???" Well, it's not a knock on the quality of the food, which was fantastic. My permanent date and I decided to celebrate the departure of one of the spawn, and I got an alert on OpenTable suggesting I try the tasting menu, which we did. It starts with an amuse bouche of Wagyu Bites (a nigiri-style slice of A5 on top of a hollow pastry with crème fraiche inside) and scallop crudo in a calamansi vinaigrette with slices of serrano. Delicate, delicious, well paired, and did the job of rousing my hunger. The next appetizer was hamachi with Fresno and serrano peppers in a delightful ponzu (I think). We used the spoon to slurp up the sauce. Yes, it was that good. The soup course is a sweet corn soup, which is served in a lovely basalt dish, and the creamy corn broth is poured over the solid bits. Our server recommended we get the Parker House rolls, and THAT is what loses a star, folks. I love a Parker House roll as much as the next guy, but it's BREAD. When did this trend of charging for bread become a thing? If you're going to serve special bread, fold it into the cost of the rest of the menu and let us imagine the bread is free. Onto the next course, pasta. A lovely agnolotti in a buttery and lemony sauce with corn, except this time it's like a more mature than baby corn, but you can still eat the cob, which is nice and crunchy. The corn was lightly roasted and served as a nice counterpoint to the richness of the cheese, pasta, and butter. The main was two ounces of A5, and at our server's suggestion, we got seared scallops to go with the perfectly-cooked, delightfully fatty beef. Absolute unit of a main. The sauce was green and velvety, with a corn relish (someone REALLY likes corn), and we were also served some lovely whipped potatoes, which really went well with the sauce. The proteins were so well prepared, I wanted to limit the interaction of the sauce, which kind of muted the flavors of the scallops and beef. However, applying it to the whipped potatoes was money. Now, our server, noting it was taking quite a bit of time to get our food to us, added a second dessert to our meal, but considering he was willing to make the substitution which allowed us to have the Choco-chata instead of the Magic Mushroom, and the Choco-chata has a hockey puck of chocolate ganache with liquid nitrogen frozen horchata and dulce de leche.... Well, we waved off the second dessert. Huntress is just cool. Between the DJ, centrally-located bar, and eclectic decor, it feels like an elegant, yet not stuffy, chic, but not pretentious, restaurant, and while I'm ethically opposed to paying for bread in a restaurant, I definitely want to come back and try some of the rest of the menu. read more

I had heard about Huntress Restaurant for a number of years, but I never have found the time to go there. As a local resident, I do not often venture into the Gaslamp District of Downtown San Diego. It is very, very busy there, parking is always quite difficult and there are so very many tourists on the streets and byways. However, my cousin, who is a Vegan, stated to me that she had received a very nice Vegan meal at Huntress Restaurant. I am not Vegan, but it made me want to try the restaurant since we had been talking about it. On the evening of my visit, I approached the hostess stand, which is located just outside the restaurant on the sidewalk. A group of people in tattered jeans were asking the hostess for directions to a nearby bar. Even though these people were obviously not potential customers of Huntress, I took note that the hostess was very polite to them and offered them information and directions in a very courteous manner. When those people went on their way, my interaction with the hostess was equally professional. We had a nice chat as she guided me up the elevator to my table on the mezzanine level of the restaurant overlooking the bar area on the ground floor. The hostess' name was Dalia, and her exceptional manner and professionalism makes me want to return to Huntress again soon for dinner. read more

It was my first time here and I was super excited to try it. When you walk in the decor is so pretty! Lots of space and seating. We came on an early Saturday dinner and were seated right away. They brought us upstairs where there is more seating. As we were sitting I felt like there was no air ventilation upstairs. It was kind of hard to breathe. I already didnt like that but didn't ask to be moved. We ordered A New York steak 7/10 - it was really salty but still good. Gnocchi Mac and cheese 5/10 - it was so doughy and hard to eat. Crispy potatoes 7/10 - it was good but we originally ordered the Yukon potatoes puree but these came out instead. Don't think I will be back but defiantly go if you haven't tried just for the expeirence read more

Visited for a business dinner and I was very excited based on the reviews. Walking up, the restaurant was very impressive both outside and in. Our party had reservations and we were directed to take the elevators and head to the third floor. Inside, the tables were beautifully decorated in the private room. We had a prix fixe menu that included Caesar salad and bread/butter as an appetizer. The salad was good, bread was firmer than I would have liked but otherwise good. Next app was a short rib en croute. Short rib is one of my favorites, but it almost seemed like this dish had sat out long enough for the fat to solidify. I could be wrong, but that is what it looked like to me, making it a little hard to enjoy. Bummer because the short rib was tasty. For my entree, I selected the salmon, which was cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. It was lukewarm though likely due to sitting since we had such a large group. My favorite dish was the dessert - a ferrero rocher-esque choconut. Basically a chocolate mousse covered in hazelnut. For most seated near me it was too rich, but I thought it was perfect and devoured the whole thing. Not only was the presentation excellent, the flavor was amazing. I would love to come back for regular dinner service or to experience the Lumi rooftop restaurant on a future visit. read more

Huntress in the Gaslamp is a strong 4 star spot in my book. Came here for a friend's birthday and we decided to go family style so we could try a little bit of everything. We started with drinks and some apps. The Parker House rolls were delicious and the different butters were fun and unique. We also ordered 4 orders of the Huntress oysters, which comes out to a dozen. At $50 a dozen it feels steep, especially because they were some of the smallest oysters I've ever had. They were good and fresh, but nothing about the prep or accompaniments really justified that price. The lobster toast on the other hand was an easy slam dunk. So good and honestly a must order if you come here. We finished off the starters with the tuna and bone marrow, which was another really solid and unique dish that fit the steakhouse vibe without feeling basic. For mains, we got the ribeye. It was cooked beautifully and tasted great. We paired it with the smoked carrots, which were good, and the Comte potatoes, which were a surprise win and ridiculously indulgent in the best way. We also tried the Huntress burger with fries and for a $30 steakhouse burger it was a huge miss. Probably the most bland burger I've ever had, which was disappointing given the rest of the food. We wrapped up with their Magic Mushroom dessert and a complimentary birthday dessert for our friend. The Magic Mushroom was super fun visually and I'd give it a 7 out of 10 on flavor. The complimentary dessert was good too and a nice touch. Overall, the space itself is really nice, has that high end steakhouse energy, and the service all night was excellent. There were definitely some highs and a couple of misses but between the vibe, the service, and the standout dishes Huntress lands at 4 stars for me. read more

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary with a dinner at Huntress and it was great. I made reservations ahead of time for 2 at around 7pm Saturday on OpenTable and had no issues getting seated promptly. We were seated in the booth right by the kitchen, so we got to see all the food moving in and out. Our server was super attentive and was ready with recommendations to ensure we had a great experience. We got started off with a round of complimentary champagne while we looked at the wine list. We ordered a few glasses over the course of dinner. For appetizers we ordered half a dozen oysters and the Little Gem Caesar. For meats, we got the Angus New York Strip and the Australian Wagyu. Sides: Thousand Layer Potato (yes, you should definitely get it) and Confit Maitake Mushrooms (also a yes). For dessert, we got the Magic Mushroom, but with a twist. They ran out of their main ingredients that night so they replaced the chai mousse and pumpkin spice compote to a pistachio x raspberry combo. Personally, their alternative ingredients made the dish way better than the original. 10/10. We also got a complimentary dessert that was like a smash candle cake. It was great to break everything down. We really enjoyed dinner here and would come back. read more
