What a great little neighborhood restaurant. The moment you walk in, Costa Brava feels like many of…read morethe tapas restaurants in Spain - warm, inviting, lively but still intimate. We had Michael as our server and he was fantastic - very informative, pleasant, inviting, knowledgeable and so attentive. He really knows the menu and made great recommendations. We ordered a great assortment of hot and cold tapas and everything was full of flavor and came out so fast: Cold to start - **Sardinas en Aceite** - Sardines in olive oil - so clean and flavorful, perfect with bread. Hot tapas - **Rabas** - Fried calamari, perfectly crispy and not greasy at all. **Gambas al Ajillo** - Shrimp in garlic - sizzling, garlicky, ideal for mopping up with bread. And the **Rabo de Toro** - Oxtail slowly braised in rioja wine sauce - fall-off-the-bone tender, rich and deeply savory. Best dish of the night. To finish, **Crema Catalana** - Spanish-style creme brulee - very flavorful with a perfect custard texture and that crackly caramelized top. All around a wonderful experience. Authentic Spanish tapas done right, right here on Garnet. We will definitely be back!

The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, especially for the middle of the day, making it a great spot to unwind over a few tapas and drinks. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and offering recommendations, which made ordering much easier for first-timers. My favorite dish was the ham and cheese-filled tapa--it was rich, crispy, and packed with flavor. We also enjoyed the chicken with onions and the sausage, both of which were simple but well-executed. As with most traditional tapas bars, don't come expecting a huge meal since the portions are meant for sharing and sampling. The sangria was refreshing and paired well with the food, though it wasn't particularly memorable. Overall, Costa Brava is a great place for happy hour, good conversation, and authentic tapas with attentive service in a welcoming atmosphere.

Which is why the consistency and dedication to their service is so commendable. Top tier from the host, our waiter and some sweet lady wearing nice clothes who spoke with us and provided us with refills. Focaccia Bread - 8.6 Good, hot and fresh. It could have used more herbs and texture on the outside. The bread was good quality and tasted as such. The star though is the balsamic vinegar that it comes with. The balsamic is delicious and tasted like it was high quality. Seared Beef Filet Tataki - 9.2 I haven't had many chilled beef dishes however, this is the best one. The beef was very tender and flavorful. It was cooked to a medium/medium rare. The soy jus the beef was sitting in was really flavorful and delicious. The seasonal citrus was also fresh and very delicious. I would encourage anyone to try this dish at Wolf, especially if you want to try something chilled that typically is served hot. Sweet Corn Soup - 9.9 Yes, a 9.9. I'm not sure soup can get much better. Every aspect and component of this dish is excellent. The depth of the flavor of the corn, the texture and items which accompany the soup are all great. The corn fritters are moist, flavorful and soak up some of the soup. The chile dust adds great seasoning and flavor while the pine nuts add texture. If I were to rank the best 25 bites of good or dishes I ever had, this would probably be top 10-15. Even if you aren't a fan of corn, get this, it'll change your mind. Kolibri Salad - 8.9 The salad contained blue cheese, dried apricots, shaved multicolored carrots, bread crumbs and a mustard vinaigrette. All of the aspects of the salad were very good and played off one another very well. I always say the best salad contain a creamy cheese, fresh fruit (not blueberries or strawberries), nuts and a good vinaigrette. The blue cheese was really creamy and probably the best blue cheese we have had. The mustard vinaigrette was good and paired well with all of the ingredients. Patatas Bravas - 8.2 The potatoes were good but not great. The potatoes were tender but too big imo. If they were cut into smaller pieces they would have better texture post cook. The aioli served with the potatoes was really, really good. I wish I had a jar of it. Skillet Mini Burger - 8.8 You could tell the beef was very high quality and it was cooked to a perfect medium. The beef was very flavorful and juicy. The hatch chile crema was delicious as well. If I had one bad thing to say about this burger it would be that it was hatch chile overload. If the burger just contained the hatch chile crema it would have been perfect. However, they also put cooked down hatch chiles on the burger. It was a bit too much chile and I wanted the beef and white cheddar to shine a little bit more.

I would say…read moreit is "upscale Basque", as opposed to other more casual Basque or Spanish restaurants that I also enjoy. This is perfect for a date night. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and the restaurant paid attention to that. They had a very nice Happy Anniversary card on the table and even provided complimentary glasses of champagne. I was impressed. I am a stickler for attention to detail, and the fact that they paid attention to the notes on my Open Table reservation meant a lot to me. Our waiter was Zabi. He had a really fun personality and a great deal of patience as we asked several questions, asked his recommendations for menu items, wines, etc. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and a very personable person to converse with. We will request him the next time we come in! The best thing we ordered was the beef carpaccio. We enjoyed the pintxo sampler platter and every item was very thought out. The flavors were so unique but also approachable. The octopus was delicious and hearty - not the typical citrus preparation I was used to. And the Basque cheesecake is truly worth a trip alone. It is soft in the middle like a custard - we really enjoyed the texture. We were very impressed and are already talking about bringing friends with us next time!

Traffic from LA moved, arriving 30 min early, the lovely hostess was pleased to seat us right away out front on the patio. Greeted by such flavorful aromas, we were immediately intrigued. Our server was perfect, explaining a few things on the menu, encouraging us to order our main course as they take about 45 min to create. So, ordered the Paella de Pollo to share. Then, we perused the drink menu! What a selection! We were feeling the need for some bourbon, tried the peach Ol' Fashioned. Concerned that such fruity concoctions can occasionally overwhelm the spirit, we were presented with a good looking, clear cubed lowball with a skewered marinated cherry along with a tiny cube of peach. It tasted delicious. CTZN has a mixologist Extradinaire at the helm! By this time, our 1st tapa was presented, Croquetas de Torrezno. Delicate & flavorful, smoked pork belly atop black garlic aioli, apricot jam & Ice wine vinegar. Delicious! Then we were presented with our Potatas Brava, 4 servings of delicately sliced potato dauphine with Bravas sauce & garlic aioli. So many flavors to these perfectly cooked slices. I'd wanted to try another drink & read the Paper Airplane was there. A delicate fruity/frothy mixture that my wife would've loved, but a bit sweet for me. So ordered my favorite bourbon cocktail, with a twist. A Black Manhattan. Again, the bar presented an excellent version, with the black amaro perfectly balanced. Now came the Paella de Pollo. A roasted small half chicken, cooked well with wild mushrooms, chorizo de Bilbao, garlic aioli & grilled lemon. Absolutely delicious with protein to spare. We topped it all off with their own wonderful cheesecake & fruit sauces shared. All of this while enjoying the perfect outdoor weather at the beach with an ongoing promenade of folks enjoying the afternoon sunset. A wonderfully creative bar, outstanding service and so many flavors on the menu, we need to come back to try more! I highly recommend CTZN when in North San Diego in stylish Solano Beach!

The food here is so, so good. I love how different the menu is and there are so many great things to choose from, we almost always end up ordering several plates to share so we can eat a little bit of it all! I will say that my favorite dish is definitely the Res Braseada. The meat is always cooked perfectly and just melts in your mouth. But the tacos are all good, the birria sandwich is bomb (and the fries that come with it, too), and the elotes.... get the elotes! They've got a great selection of beers and their wine is good, too. The different levels lend themselves well to whatever kind of vibe you're feeling, but no worries, the service is bomb no matter where you decide to plant yourself. Definitely recommend this spot to everyone and am looking forward to my next visit already!

If you want to eat in the restaurant, don't go all the way to the top (that's a bar area I think). We were greeted quickly and brought water, which was refreshing with the rosemary.

It had great citrus flavor with a hint of spice. My husband ordered the birria grilled cheese, which was huge. He really enjoyed it. I got the seared yellowtail. The fish was cooked nicely, and the accompanying veggies were really good as well. Overall the service was friendly and food was good. We would go back.
