Food was good a little pricy, service excellent, ambiance very good except for the bathrooms they have a view inside out from the sinks to outside and viceversa not a pleasant one. read more

The atmosphere of this place is amazing! We took a plethora of pictures, the outside-inside dynamic is so fun. Along with the good scenery, the food was amazing. My table had the chicken and waffles, slow roasted pork chilaquiles, and a simple breakfast. There were no complaints. Food was hot and tasted fresh. Service was good, you could tell the waiters were a little irritated because we were college students, but they still treated us with respect. read more

Beautiful ambiance, menu spectacular, Grant the waiter was sweet and swift (also made my best friends birthday extra special!) thank you so much!! read more

The overall experience is beautiful. I love going there. All the waiters are awesome and place is gorgeous. It is a must go place.

Came for a bachelorette brunch during their Pride month celebration! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was so beautiful inside (as well as the staff ) and extremely easy to make a reservation via open table for a group of 8. The food was delicious, I ordered the Loco Moco and my friend ordered the Hamburger and we shared our entrees. I am SOOOO glad we did because the Loco Moco was deeeelicious since the patty had a nice sear to it! We also got a side of onion rings which were extremely crispy, I dare assume that they were double fried. Anyways, they were so good, we had to order another round for the table. We also ordered a pitcher of one of their alcohol concoctions to share with the table which was actually generously strong! The only con I can think of is that they only have street parking. They do have a little lot attached under the apartments, but they are actually for the employees only! There weren't any signs, so make sure you just save the trouble and park on the street! There's also a really cute and unique coffee shop behind the restaurant for those needing an extra boost after their meal! read more

insideOUT - Hamburger and onion rings - Lounges Near Me - San Diego, California

Superior services and tasty foods. Liked the detail in each plate. The roasted vegetables were particularly excellent

insideOUT is probably one of the most beautiful bars I've been to. I was in awe today. The pictures speak for itself but it was such a cool experience sitting outside next to the water and I'm so glad they had one table open outside for our walk in. If you have a bigger group, def make reservations (but they are hard to get) Food & drinks: I was really excited to try the items on their menu online but realized I was looking at the dinner menu and not the brunch menu that was being served at the time. I think their brunch menu could def be better (why I gave 4 stars) and I ended up not eating anything. I decided I wanted a non-alcoholic drink and asked if they could make one of the regular cocktails virgin, and they suggested I just get one of their two mock tails. It was some strawberry drink but I did not enjoy it one bit. I wish they could have tried to work with me on finding a mocktail I would actually enjoy. The dessert was very yummy!!! And very beautiful!!! Food came out super fast which was also nice :) read more

came to check it out after seeing it online! the decor at the moment is springtime, so lots of cherry blossom trees and our waiter was so sweet and kind. it was also easy to book on opentable, and cute to take photos everywhere. for the food review part, our soda we ordered was flat and the chicken felt like it was left out a bit so it wasn't warm. tasting the lamb, it was really good but if you're looking at different reviews to see what to order, know they change their menu per season so it may not be what you get. our favorites were the sweet potato truffle fries and the complementary birthday slice !!! read more

Glad we made it to SD because I didn't want to miss the opportunity to visit for a second time. For sure a beautiful place! But the food is amazing and they have multiple options to choose from. Their drinks don't disappoint making it a tasty and delicious experience. Another great experience and service is always on point. Can't wait to go again. read more

Absolutely amazing place one of the best places to chill ..happy hour its amazing.. 100% recommend it

It's really pretty in here. I love the waterfall and the little pond. It is an outdoor courtyard space between buildings so you are inside and outside at the same time. There are multiple concrete tiers and tables on each. I feel bad for the staff that has to go up and down stairs all day! That being sad, service was excellent. Staff were all very friendly and willing to answer questions and give suggestions when asked. My friend and I got the mocktails: the raspberry mock mule (a little sour), and the blackberry faux-jito (very light and refreshing. just a hint of blackberry. mostly had a citrus flavor). I got the monte cristo which was a good ratio of sweet and savory, not dry at all, and had a good flavor. The side of potatoes were cooked and flavored well. My friend got the onion rings which were awesome. read more

super cute! great spot for drinks and the aesthetic. HIGHLY recommend to making reservations ahead of time. every season/holiday is a different theme here. So far I have been during summer and most recently for valentines. Both themes are super cute, very well decorated for pictures and just a cute date night/ galentines. The dinner menu seems decent but a little limited for vegetarians/vegan, even pescatarian. The service is always great! it was a busy night, we were seated at the very top and our server did not forget about us. He was constantly checking in and refilling our drinks. This place is definitely worth checking out! read more

I went here with a friend for a later dinner, ~8:15pm on a Tuesday, and it was still pretty packed, so we were glad to make reservations ahead of time. This place has elevated bar bites along with solid cocktails (that can be quite strong!) We made reservations for outdoor, which looks more like indoor but with open air environment as the "outdoor" is like a terrace that neighbors some apartments. I was wowed by the aesthetics, especially at night when the waters and the walls are brightened by colorful lights. Imagine living in those apartments and being able to go here often. I personally tried the Freaky Tiki drink which is fruity and strong, kind of like a Mai Tai. For appetizer, we got the Arancini which is hearty with a lot of cheese inside. For entrees, we got the ragu alla bolognese and braised beef short rib. The ragu pasta is a little bit undercooked and lacked a bit of flavor. The braised beef short rib was very tender and the mashed potatoes and vegetables that come with it paired pretty well. It was, however, a bit on the salty side. Service is good as they refilled waters regularly and brought out a fly fan in case there were flies (we didn't end up needing to use it as there weren't any), but it was good they were considerate about that. Overall, I had a positive experience and see myself coming back for the drinks during happy hour where the cocktails are much less expensive. read more

What a great place. It's so pretty inside. The decor was the spring decor. There are many cute areas in the outdoor area of the restaurant for photos as well. BTW the food is delicious.

Seeing all the recent holiday decorations made me reminiscent of their spring oasis experience. That was one of the most elaborate and beautiful bar ambiance I had. There were spring blossom trees, lit up flowers, and a Waterfall cascading into small pond. Pathways wind along this enchanted garden allowing you to walk among the decorations. Benches are strategically placed so you can go and chat there, giving you a different experience if your table is somewhere else. We went for birthday drinks and they were all very aesthetic. Drinks are pretty standard but great choices. There were seasonal options which enhance the overall experience. They also gave a slice of cake for birthday. We also ordered the poke which came with green tea soba noodles to share among the table. It was plated nicely however this was a miss for us. It was really salty and had us reaching for our waters. Overall I would say this place is mostly about the decorations and vibe. I would definitely love to come here to experience their different seasonal themes. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The menu isn't huge, but what they do have is great! My friend got the pazole which she said was good but she was expecting it to be a little more authentic. The restaurant is literally stunning. I mean it is just beautiful. The drinks were pricey but packed a punch so they were well worth it in my opinion. The Ceasar dressing was some of the best I've had in a long time. read more

Our anniversary requires a new adventure...and we found here at Inside Out! Our waiter, Grant, was a pleasant dear soul who welcomed us into the endearing and beautiful winter holiday land with alluring drinks and perfectly seasoned appetizer prawns! Our entrees were proverbial melt in the mouth masterpieces that made their appearance in grand entrance fashion as all great things in Hillcrest do! Enjoy Inside Out if you appreciate great dining, perfect decor, an intriguing restaurant layout, and attentive staff. Light-years ahead of fast food, and eons past the innovation of a sunken living room! Loved it! read more

Came here for a birthday brunch! We did not have a reservation but the walk-in waitlist time was quoted for an hour, which I didn't think was so bad considering how popular this place was. We came on a Sunday so we were lucky to kill some time by walking around the hillcrest farmer's market. The enchanted oasis decorations were everything and more! The ambiance made us feel like we were in a fairy tale. It was very bright with a sprinkle of pixie dust and magic everywhere! I ordered the quinoa, french toast, a side of potatoes(fire), and mystic pixie cocktail. Everything was good and filling! My siblings ordered the scramble with salmon and they all wiped their plates clean so I'm assuming it was delicious! I really like their cocktail, it had a butterfly and some flowers on top with some dry ice to make it extra "mystical"! Overall we had a wonderful brunch experience and I will definitely be back to try their dinner menu options! read more

Auhmm if you are coming in for the gram then do that. I think it gets too hyped. Food: was salty. the Brussel sprout, the sweet potato and the and the bbq prawns were all salty. The salmon and the french bread were ok . Drink: we started with the $10 shot and that really got us good. other than that the tiki was ok. the princess peach was ok and the ruby drink was ok. Service: is where i give one star. The server is visible. Ambiance: Again if you are coming for the photos then def a one star. Parking: we were lucky we were able to park close by. so thats my third star. would I recommend? no. would i come back? nope. other wise it was an experience. keep in mind you can do walk in but preferably do a reservation. the restroom is all gender so keep that in mind. read more

"OUT"... AND ABOUT (5 stars) - FOOD: deliciousness - SERVICE: excellent - PRICE: fair - AMBIANCE: proud and gay! We arrived with excitement and left without a disappointment. Ate at many restaurants but not one lately that was cool and fun as this one. This place is a vibe! Seasonal themed restaurant decor inviting to the eye and instagram-able is the catch. Walked inside to be out.side through the bar, restaurant, and terrance lounge. This place is lively with music, chatter, and good positive energy. It's popular and do believe in the hype... there is a reason reservations are about a month out. :: AMBIANCE :: Theme: Pride! Rainbow everything. Neon lights with infamous sayings. And the crowd, a little mix of everything and everybody. Very welcoming and friendly place. :: FOOD :: Brunch menu. SIGNATURE AUSTRALIAN HOT STONE ($45) - 8 oz. aged angus filet and eggs, chimmichurri butter, smoked salt, 2 eggs, and side of either crispy baby reds or grits I served rare and cooked to your liking on a hot stone at your table. I was set to order this dish a week before even coming to the restaurant. Eggs, over medium. Potatoes or Grits, potatoes. Presentation of my meal was on-point. Raw steak arrived sizzling on a hot stone at 350 degrees and cooked to your liking. Only few minutes to cook. For those in cute fits, it does not splatter everywhere. First bite gave me a foodgasm. The filet was so tender and juicy and flavorful from the chimmichurri butter you can cooked it with. The potatoes was the perfect carb to pair the with the steak, it had some crispy edges and came seasoned. My eggs were regular eggs, season at your own will. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLACKBERRY SMASH PITCHER ($44) - Creme de cassis, St. Germain, muddled blackberries, house champagne. This kind of reminded me of The Kir Royale drink... but served in a pitcher. This pitcher is good for a table and it was perfect for at least 2 people. The drinks are on the light side as I didn't even get a buzz and I had a few glasses. Those who have acid reflex, no need for Pepcid AC. I am going to question the ingredients... the description said muddled blackberries but what we saw most was muddled pomegranate and some blackberries. Nice to sip on and refreshing for summer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Will I be back? I look forward to that day. Perhaps a dinner next time to see the vibe in the evening or night. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more

Came here last night to celebrate our gf's bday. We got great seats in front of the beautiful decor. Everything was beautiful 10/10 for aesthetics! Service was excellent 10/10 (from the hostess to the servers and the waiters everyone was so friendly and welcoming). I had the Freaky Tiki and it was delish and got me buzzed real quick! 10/10 def recommend. I also had the princess Peach, it was kinda sweet and I couldn't finish it 6.5/10. I ordered the chicken thighs which were super juicy but a little salty 7.5/10. Had a side of onion rings 10/10. Great place for a GNO! I want to come back for the freaky tiki alone haha and also for brunch! The brunch menu looks yummy. We had reservations at 5:45pm on a Wednesday and we all found parking pretty easily. read more

From start to finish Amazing experience! It was hard to get a reservation. Came as a walk in after our previous dining experience elsewhere sucked. There was a line that was for the bar and the hostess advised if staying for dinner she can sit us sooner. We opted for dinner and got seated immediately. Michael our waiter was so amazing. He told us to enjoy the snow in the middle and he'll come back to take our order. It was decorated so Christmassy immediately puts you in the holiday spirit. We had the Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts. Simple but very tasty. To drink the melekilitiki and the tinsel tini both holiday themed and delicious. Overall 10 out of 10 experience. Definitely a must go ! read more
