We've been here twice this month with different out-of-town family members and both times our servers (Lynda and Ryan) were on point. Throw in the two managers (woman with dark hair, guy with a fun pink golf polo) were there to assist when we thought it was going to rain. Menu is diverse and something for everyone (or most). Beer and beverage list are great. Ample seating in different areas makes for a great experience. If this was 15 years ago we'd be bellying up to the bar to watch games or chill after a day at the beach. I'm sure it's a great place when the sun goes down. But for now, we're on a different page of the life book and I'm glad there's some reading material here for us to enjoy!

I was worried it would be too sweet but it wasn't. The pistachios didn't do anything much. They weren't crunchy at all so didn't add to the texture of the pizza. The pizza crust was nice and light and crunchy. I also had the BLAT sandwich. The sourdough bread was SO GOOD. Of course so was the bacon which was tasty, but the bread with the guacamole spread really made this sandwich. The fries were very good too. Husband had the fried chicken picatta sandwich and it was a very large piece of chicken sticking out of the flaky focaccia bread! All the food was delicious and the service was quick! Dogs also allowed in the covered indoor/outdoor area.

The duck was also cooked perfectly with a crispy seasoned skin that was spot on. We ordered the crispy mushrooms. Not what we expected but so good we ordered another dish with our dinner. We had the Basque Cheesecake and the Crème Brûlée. Both were outstanding. The restaurant itself has a rich mahogany feel and comfortable booths.

Their locals are both actually local but also have many out of town regulars like us since so many travel to enjoy the amazingness of San Diego. We try to stay as close to Moe's as we can when we visit because they're in the perfect spot at the edge of Mission and the start of Pacific Beach where all the fun is. The food and cocktails are as good as the service. It's easy to chat up a new friend at the bar because their San Diego happiness is contagious. There were a number of new recipes on the cocktail menu this trip. They had me at "Party With Elvis." Although I was drawn to the fun name, the walnut-infused bourbon was too enticing to pass up, especially because they paired it with Montenegro (Amaro) and sweet vermouth. So it's a fancy Manhattan variation. It was delish!!!!!! Make sure when you go to the amazing beaches next time in SD, check out Moe's. You'll love the food and cocktails as much as the vibe.

Walking up with my…read moredaughter and my doodle , we asked if there was room on their patio and there was a lovely table with umbrella on the corner. It had turf underneath all tables along the street side and was shaded well for both hoomans and dog! The server quickly wiped the table and was friendly in asking about drinks , while we immersed in the menu - much inspired by New Zealand. She was great the entire time we were there. She came by just enough to check in to get the "nodding yes with our our heads as mouths full " affirmation she needed that all was well. So- I had the Blazin' Ahi and it was absolutely delicious! The ahi , a fave of mine anyway but with the seared with panko covering it and the wasabi mayo and peas and cucumbers? Chef's kiss! Will go next time we are there in late summer and highly recommend!

M. ordered the Wagyu burger with matchstick fries & I got the New Zealand Classic breakfast with chicken sausage. Waters were brought out quickly for us, including Cali. I later ordered a mimosa & it came out quickly as well. There's a special on mimosas on Saturday & Sunday from 10-2. They start at $1 at 10am and the price goes up incrementally until 2pm when they're $9. (My mimosa was $6.) The food took a bit longer, about twenty minutes, to be delivered. I liked my breakfast very much. Everything was tasty & I enjoyed having little bits of different things to nosh on. M. said his burger was very good, he only wished that it was a bit bigger for the price. Service was fine & friendly. Overall, this was a pleasant experience. Great people watching and great weather helped to enhance this brunch even more. Peace.

I ordered from Doordash and saw that there were pretty good reviews so I had high hopes. I got two…read moreorders of the onion rings, the GTA double smash burger, the cheesesteak, wings, a slice of pepperoni pizza, and a "cinnamon roll". The onion rings did not come with the ranch that it was advertised to come with. The onion rings had a thick crunchy batter that was very chewy, which wasn't great. This combined with the fact that the piece of onion inside was the smallest thinnest piece of onion, just made it seem like it was chewing fried batter. The pizza appeared old and sad. I would've taken a picture but I threw it away too fast. I couldn't take more than 3 bites. The smash burger and cheesesteak were the better items. The meat was flavored well, and they were decent size. The smash burger i would say was a solid 7.8. I do wish the cheesesteak had a bit more cheese, seeing as that's the point of it. The downside to both these things was the bread/buns which were chewy and dry, leading me to see a theme with "Doughboy's". The wings (buffalo) were good to me, good flavor, good amount of sauce. My friend wished they were crispier, but I was just glad they had good flavor. Lastly, the cinnamon roll. Advertised as "Big texas cinnamon roll" on Doordash. It's a regular dollar store, packaged in plastic, 99¢ cinnamon roll. Maybe it's my fault for not knowing the brand of packaged rolls but I expected something different. If i was in the area i would go back for the smashburger and wings, but I think there's better places in SD to get all of these things in my opinion.

Bebe is my service dog, she's been traveling with me for two years now, so we've had a lot of eatery experiences.

Ross seated me and offered to turn on a deck heater for me, which I gratefully accepted. Lars was helping another table and I asked her to get my waiter, yet she offered to expedite things by taking my order, which I appreciated. Lars was able to recommend a fabulous glass of wine to go with my chicken. It was under $10 per glass and a total hidden gem! First course was the goat cheese salad, which is a fabulous mixed green salad with goat cheese, pickled carrots, and cranberries (craisins?). So yummy! I ordered Mary's chicken while Bebe ordered the puppy bacon. What a fun treat! We'll be back, what a great experience! Fabulous food, service and vibe. Love it!!!

You cant go wrong with a classic double smash, its literally the one thing they'll never take off the menu and I just love a smashburger with the patty crusted around the edges (yall know what I'm talkin bout). The "Just the Tip" tri tip burger is MASSIVE and needs to be deconstructed in order to eat - the flavor is there but it's also just very chewy. They recently came up with a Tri-Tip bowl which comes with broccoli, sweet potato and chimichurri sauce... GAS! AND ITS HEALTHY AF - it's been my latest obsession. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a quick bite or even pregame. The bartenders are super chill and remember a face and the service is quick. Just be mindful that the menu can change quite often.
