    Octopus ( very interesting combo )
    Elle F.

    This place made our anniversary dinner quite memorable. The boyfriend planned a surprise weekend getaway to San Diego ( crazy to believe I've never been ). This wouldn't be our usual place since he usually takes me to a Michelin Star restaurant. I was open to anything and I can see why he chose the place. I loved the beautiful interior. The whole vibe was very laid back and most of the people that were having dinner were mostly groups ( bachelorette, birthday ,etc ). When we arrrived they greeted us happy anniversary and they even gave us a huge booth all to ourselves. I really loved this so much since Hello!? it is our anni and I loved how it was nice and intimate. This really set the bar to our evening and made it very special. The food was good. We ordered brussel sprouts, Rockefeller oysters, tomatillo with pork and and octopus dish. My least favorite was the tomatillo. We also ordered the lobster dish. I really like the cesar salad ! The best part about the whole dinner was when they came to our table and gave us shots ! Wasn't expecting that and I loved the whole ambiance of the place . Tons of fun ! The s'mores Creme brûlée blew me away ! It was so perfect. Everything went so nice together. After dinner we were told there was a nightclub and for some reason we thought it was in the dining area but long and behold there was an actual club in the premises. The club reminded me of Vegas ! Best part was the entrance was free since we had dinner there . We had a blast . The music was amazing and it was literally the best time ever ! Definitely coming back again ! Love this place. Thank you Parq for making it w memorable night. Ps thanks to our waitress who was more then amazing.

    I was lucky enough to attend my company holiday party private event. The restaurant / club were decorated very nicely, based on other reviews and pictures it looked very similar with the lights in the trees, etc. We were able to have a photo booth at the entry, and then the first floor area was great for drinks, appetizers. Cheese and Charcuterie Board: Artisan cheeses, cured meats, pickles, assorted olives, preserves, rustic garlic and herb crostini. We were then ushered upstairs to the dance floor. Very large room with decent size dance floor. Sound system was pretty good, loud but clear, and not distorted. The DJ played some good music, and there were some cool "Out of this World" themed videos playing on the large screens. At one point we also got showered with confetti. The food was pretty good but I didn't take any pictures of it. It consisted of Rosemary Sourdough & Brioche Dinner Rolls with herb butter. Local Tomato Salad - Fresh mozzarella, basil, wild arugula, balsamic and olive oil. Organic Caesar Salad - Rustic crouton, Parmesan cheese, white anchovy dressing. Penne Pasta Salad - Cherry tomato, olive, roasted peppers, basil Roasted and Grilled Local Vegetables with garlic and herb oil. Thyme and Garlic Roasted Chicken Breast served with wild rice with fine herbs and brown butter. 24 Hour Braised Beef Short Rib served with Yukon gold potato puree and crispy onion. Dessert was serve yourself and it was Tiramisu - lady fingers, mascarpone cheese, and cocoa Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. I had a good time.

    Interior

    This place has such great potential, but was such a disappointment. Came here for my friend's birthday dinner. It was 7pm on a Friday night... and the place was absolutely dead. This was a major red flag right there. Dinner menu was a joke--I've never seen so few entrees offered (see photo). I got the hamburger; it was good but not "$20" good. Service was *extremely* slow. I felt like we were waiting FOREVERRRR for food (which was surprising given there were only ~5 other guests in the entire place). Lastly, the hostess promised me that since we were celebrating a birthday, the birthday girl would get a free dessert. This never happened, and there was absolutely no acknowledgement of her birthday whatsoever. I wouldn't come back...ever. +1 stars for ambiance

    Private event! Apparently they are open to public only on Friday and Saturday night but they are also available for a private event during a week. About 400 of us nerds came here for a private event one night on Tuesday and had a really great time. I had no ideas what to expect prior to my arrival, I was just thinking another networking event. Our group mostly in our 40's and 50's, some in their 60's, our daily reading consist of CFR and FRN. This club was so much fun, I didn't think about work for three hours I was there. Food prepared for us was pretty good, I liked lobster mac and cheese the best. They had vegetarian dishes and some fresh veggies, all kinds of sweets including macaron was available. They have two or three bars at the night club section and one more bar (connected) at their restaurant section and we were able to get our drinks anywhere. Staff was friendly and efficient, they kept tables clean all the time. The way they picked up empty glasses and plates were so professional, they did it so elegantly. DJ played all kinds of songs especially from 80's after he saw the average age of our group. I haven't danced this much in a long time. Last time I danced this much was 9 years ago in Jakarta. I had so much fun dancing over 2 hours here, people came up to me the next day to talk about the previous night. I was so glad staff knew how to entertain all sort of age group. Weekend may be for younger crowds but this private event we had here reminded me we used to be young and still remember how to have fun. Highly recommend for hosting private event here.

    I'm leaving this review to clear up some things in case you are confused ! Firstly, I gotta say this place is probably one of the most well-designed nightclubs in SD ive been to so far. The restaurant is unfortunately currently not open, and has been converted into a lower lounge/hip hop room, but it's not dark enough for dancing imo. The "park" aesthetics are cool, and I'm a big fan of all the nooks and crannies for lounging and chilling, especially by the bathrooms. Overall the place is very clean and visually interesting! Bartenders pour strong drinks in my experience as well. Upstairs is the dedicated nightclub space, and they have incredible light displays and a small central dance floor in front of where the DJ is. I came looking forward to the hip hop "room", but it took a while to pick up for reasons mentioned above. The major draw is definitely the house/edm upstairs. I would definitely come back for the design style and restaurant.

    This review is loooooonnnnng overdue! So you may or may not encounter these people. If Samantha is still there, sorry peeps! You were warned! Samantha was not helpful at all on the phone. If you are calling in regards to NYE resersevations, you have to go through her and apparently you cant make an appointment with her cause she does not have the appointment book. In addition to being rude. Call Jason, the VIP manager to get better customer service. He understands in making a sale, and keeping patrons happy. I do like dancing with the Parq bots, there are two. Sometimes they don't really stop to dance... I think the criteria to actually getting them to stop is being able to bust a move! I completely recommend doing it. If you can get a friend to video it or even better yet, boomerang it. Do it!!! Bathrooms are a bit tricky. If you eat at the restaurant, you get the use the beautiful bathroom.... See selfie. Or if you happen to VIP, you can use this bathroom throughout the night which is great! If not, you have to use the downstairs bathroom which is far and a pain to get to especially if you're tipsy and in 6 inch heels. It sucks! Such a liability! Come on... You don't want pretty drunk girls eating sh*t all the time!!! That was not well planned, just have the men's restroom down there. The club is roomy. The champagne wall is a nice feature. I prefer to stay in the back near the champagne wall and dance. You're not squished and you're close to the bar. The best part, you can catch the Parq bot here to dance with him... Again... Do this!!!

    the best steak ever
    Alexx B.

    I'm very conflicted about how many stars to give this place. I came here with my friend for dinner and we were very thrown off because it was a restaurant that was turning into a nightclub, which we were not aware of. Probably our fault. The cocktails were not great, we both sent ours back in exchange for wine. The lettuce wraps and brussles sprouts were good, but nothing crazy flavorful or anything to write home about. The service was awful, we were almost laughing at how bad it was and we almost even left. Maybe everyone was busy getting ready for the switch over to a nightclub or show or something, because it felt like they DID NOT even care we were there. Thankfully, we didn't leave because this bone in steak was the best I have ever, ever had. How can everything else be so bad but then this steak be so above and beyond amazing????? It almost made up for how awful everything else was, just the fact the steak was so flavorful, so melt in your mouth, something I am still dreaming of a year later. Someday I have to go back and endure the bad service, the sub par menu, just to get to have this steak again!!!! It was unbelievable. Even heated up the next day (it was HUGE, we couldn't even finish it splitting it) it was next level amazing.

    This place is absolutely cute in so many ways. The interior décor is great and don't forget to take pictures in the bathroom. I literally spent 20 minutes in there taking so many pictures. I came for dinner on a Saturday night and It was happy hour until 8 pm so I tried the flatbread, coconut ceviche, and oysters. Oysters are oysters unless they're not fresh. The flatbread was really good and the coconut ceviche was really good and very different. It's ceviche with coconut milk and the dish is served with taro chips. Overall, the flatbread and ceviche were really good dishes. For drinks I had Alice's Wonderland Cocktail which was very light and refreshing. Service was great and after the restaurant it turns into a club, which I did not stay for.

    Celebrated my birthday party here this year and i am so happy how my flyer, happy birthday screen shout out turned out and table service is great! Can't say anything else but Great job well done Parq and staff! Definitely would recommend this club for any special events/occasions celebration. The restaurant is not just pretty but foods are really good too! Prices are very reasonable. If you're celebrating birthdays or any other special occasions, ask for their dinner and table combo ;) be that VIP and rock it! ;)

That honestly won us over. Even our kids were impressed by how straightforward and nice he was and decided we should stay. And I'm glad we did. The Crispy Brussels were delicious--seriously, one of the highlights. My daughter loved the Strawberry Shortcake French Toast.

He mentioned they'd course the dishes out, 2 at a time, ensuring each of the dishes were paired intentionally. Beet Salad From someone who's not easily impressed with vegetable-led dishes, this was delicious. This dish was visually vibrant, and the flavor mirrored that vibrancy. The beets themselves were stunningly soft, even juicy I'd say. It's root-y flavor was ever-present, but it never became unwelcome on the dish. "Fragrant" is another word we all used to describe the plate, with the fresh mint and succulent citrus fruit widening each our eyes. Sweet, savory, fresh and...creamy. This salad sat on top of a delightful carrot labneh, which provided a creamy element further elevating the dish. It brought a bit of tang to the salad that I appreciated. Finally, there was a crunchy detail (which we know I love) from intelligently included pieces of pastelli--a Greek treat made from sesame seeds and honey, and that sweet crunch fostered the table's excitement. Trust was firing on cylinders early, strong start. Hamachi Crudo Insane. I'm a big fan of the amount of flavor that's packed in such a delicate dish. Off rip, you're met with a visually exciting dish. Red, green, and purple from the thinly sliced pepper, cucumber, and radish pop right off the dish. Bright colors and exquisite execution, placed in a circle to match the shape of the dish, had each of us salivating. With the first taste, the crisp bite of fresh cucumber catches your senses immediately, and then subtly spicy, cream sauce. It was aguachile blanco--my first time having the blanco variant. The flavor was stupid, I struggled to describe it's uniqueness. The Mexican flavor profile was proliferated by fresh cilantro and thinly sliced radish, followed with a textured salsa seca. The light nature of the dish paired pristinely with the beet salad. Now, these next two dishes were an exciting 1-2 punch in showing you exactly what Chef is all about--that signature wood fire Wood Grilled Cauliflower I always eat my vegetables, but I rarely enjoy them. They're two for two in accomplishing that feat. In a bowl lined with curry, they served up a healthy helping of cauliflower that showcases its smokiness first. With that first bite, you taste the fire quickly, but what surprised me most was how soft each piece of the veg was. The curry and smoky flavor from the wood fire paired deliciously. Though, my favorite aspect of this delivery was the inclusion of raisins and fresh mint. This was a new combo for me, and it delivered. The sourness from the raisins and the cool, herbaceous qualities of the mint cut right through the charred flavor. A beautiful contrast. As we continued to dismantle the plate, there was a familiar flavor that we all recognized but couldn't identify. Maybe it was the serrano aioli or the black lentils. Either way, we all enjoyed this one. Wood Grilled Octopus This was a favorite of mine, but I was alone in that regard. While nobody disliked the dish, the table had mixed reviews. For me, this was perfectly cooked. The texture of the octopus was ridiculous with a cooking technique that created a crispy exterior while maintaining a tender bite. The smokiness didn't shy away here either. I mean damn. Most weren't a fan of the pepperoni, but fresh, ground meat added a rustic flavor pop that satiated my palate. It held that beloved pepperoni flavor, but this style allowed for it's flavor to spread across each bite. What made this dish unique from any other octopus I've had was the addition of castelvetrano olives and legumes. They both brought an interesting flavor and texture element that surprised me. Lastly, the salsa verde served as a perfect sauce, providing an element of moisture that complimented the charred features. Well done. After round two is when shit got real. Crab Fried Rice OH SHIT. WTF. One of the best rice dishes I've ever had. This is one we all wished was much much bigger. Despite the name, this dish includes chunks of incredibly juicy, wood-roasted lobster that there was never going to be enough of. The crab was shredded and could be found in each bite of plump rice, providing a pleasing flavor. Both a lemongrass emulsion and Thai chili were included, offering a wonderful duality of zest and spice. I thoroughly enjoyed the basil and cashew elements as they created some extra variety in flavor and texture. Not much else is needed for me to say, it's a must order. Char Sui Glazed Brisket OH SHIT.

We timed our dinner around sunset, and the ocean view was absolutely breathtaking -- our executive team was thrilled to unwind with a view like that after a long day of meetings. On the night of the dinner, Alberto's staff delivered impeccable service from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, and it was clear the whole team took real pride in getting the details right. I can't recommend Shorebird highly enough for a business dinner or any special occasion. Alberto and his team went above and beyond, and we'll definitely be back.

    Service great! Ambiance great!…read moreI love how the windows are floor to ceiling with a view of the sunset. We ordered ribeye medium rare. Most places say they do medium rare but its always overcooked. They did it right. We loved the mushroom risotto, whipped potatoes, and broccolini. Fried fish slightly overcooked but I still liked it. Don't get the miso cod. It's the saltiest thing I have ever eaten. Only real blemish in our dinner. I suggest everyone eat at this restaurant.

    We had such a fantastic date night at Juniper & Ivy! The space has a slightly rustic feel with the…read moreexposed beams, but the modern décor makes it feel elegant and cozy at the same time. I was also surprised by the open kitchen--it's completely visible from the dining room, but somehow never felt overly loud or distracting. Most importantly, everything we ate was stellar. And for a fine dining restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised by the portions. We ordered several things to share and definitely did not leave hungry! We started with the oysters, which came pre-dressed. I was initially skeptical because I usually like to control what goes on my oysters, but OMG--these may have been the best oysters I've ever had. That was the moment I thought, "Okay, these guys know exactly what they're doing. Leave it to the experts." The kampachi with Thai basil oil and passion fruit was another standout. The herbal flavor of the basil oil against the tart passion fruit was such an interesting combination and worked beautifully. The tuna crudo was incredibly fresh--honestly, the best tuna I can remember having. Even the roasted cauliflower with sun-dried tomato hummus was memorable; such a creative and delicious pairing. And the miso black cod was cooked absolutely perfectly. The service made the experience even better. Our waiter took our entire order upfront and then paced everything for us, which I really appreciated. We never had to think about what should come next or when to order another dish--we could just enjoy the evening. I also loved that they have a sommelier on staff. I started with a French Sauvignon Blanc by the glass that was excellent, then asked for help choosing a red to pair with my main course. I do wish he had more time to ellaborate about the wine he recommended, but even with the brief interaction, his recommendation was spot-on and paired beautifully with the meal. Overall, this was one of those dinners where dish after dish reminded us that we were in very capable hands. Creative without feeling gimmicky, beautifully executed, generous enough that we left satisfied, and genuinely delicious from beginning to end. An easy five stars, and we will absolutely be back.

    This is a gorgeous restaurant with an architectural design that sets a great mood right away, and…read morethe bar area was highly interesting with its unique setup. The atmosphere inside was very loud and energetic, which made for a fun evening out. The only minor layout quirk worth noting is that the restrooms are on the smaller side and feature a shared, coed sink outside. The food itself was wholesome, creative, and absolutely delicious. For our meal, we ordered their deviled eggs as a fantastic twist on a classic starter, followed by the yellowtail, which was incredibly fresh, clean, and beautifully presented, and finished with the pork shoulder that turned out rich, tender, and perfectly prepared. To top off a wonderful dining experience, Top Chef Richard Blais was actively in the kitchen during our visit. He was even selling the restaurant's cookbook with his personal signature for $30.00, which was an awesome takeaway to remember the night by.

    Ok wait I loveeeed a lot of the dishes that we ordered here!! They are super accommodating with any…read moredietary restrictions (one person in our party is allergic to dairy and doesn't eat pork, and they were able to tailor dishes accordingly). Definitely on the pricier end for certain dishes but many of them are well worth it! - sourdough bread: good but also why are we spending $16 here. can't say it's worth - ahi tartare: no notes, everything hit, would come back for this alone - steamed clam and mussels: these were some meaty af mussels. delicious! the clams were tiny & pathetic tho and can't say I loved having the chorizo in there - charred broccolini: honestly don't remember this well but i had no complaints - grilled oysters: another fav of mine!!! a must get - hearth roasted carrots: the yogurt & pesto were on the side (due to dairy restrictions) but the pesto was SO. GOOD. paired beautifully with the carrots!!!!! I'm dying to know how to make this at home myself - branzino: good but would skip. I do typically like fish entrees but this wasn't overly impressive. could've used more sauce - NY strip: our favorite entree!!!! paired SO with the bone marrow - duck: super tender and fell right off the bone!!! our second fav entree - almond joy: incredible dessert, every bite I felt like I was getting a little something new. vanilla ice cream in the middle. LOVEEED this as our ending to dinner

    Came for happy hour (wed-sun 4-6) in the bar ONLY.The bar is located in a separate room than the…read moredining area. Happy hour seating is walk ins only, no reservations. There is a "happy hour" on Monday but it's called Ouster Monday, oysters are $1 and they have different specials that are not offered on the normal happy hour. Got the crispy chicken wings, Wagyu longaniza, and burger The chicken wings were very crispy and came topped with a jalapeño relish. The relish had a citrusy taste to it or maybe it was the liquid from the pickled jalapeños. I liked the crispness of the chicken but I think the relish was too acidic for me. The Wagyu longaniza was my favorite, very strong beefy flavor. It came on top of salsa matcha which i thought was very tasty so much that I dipped the wings and burger in the sauce. The slice of radish on top gave it a nice texture and crunch. I see the Wagyu hotdog is offered on the oyster Monday special so I'm gonna have to come back and try that for sure. The burger was cooked nicely, medium as requested. It came topped with an egg, truffled onion jam, and cheddar cheese. The bun was nicely toasted and the egg and cheese added a nice rich element to it but I didn't care for the onion jam, it gave the burger an overall sweet profile. I'd simply ask for it without next time. Over all a solid burger, maybe I'd add bacon too. I also had a margarita which was on happy hour special. I asked for it to be spicy and they added a tajin rim which was nice. Spicy and refreshing! Parking is all on the street so I had to part a few blocks away. Overall a solid happy hour. I'll be back on Oyster Monday for the hot dog and fish collars.
