This place was amazing! We had a delicious meal with the recommended appetizer with the Baked Humboldt Fog, with cheese, perfectly sautéed mushrooms and excellent brioche. We had the seafood risotto, and it was my favorite dish on my entire trip to San Diego! The scallops were fresh and flavorful and the shrimp were just as delicious. The tomato based sauce was a fresh take on one of my favorite dishes. We split a bottle of wine, as our waitress advised us of the no-corkage fee special on Thursdays. We chose the lemon curd and chocolate chip bread pudding for dessert, it was too hard to pick one. The space was intimate and romantic, and we had fun checking out all of the wine varieties available for purchase. We stopped by their Vault and there were some lovely options that were definitely out of our price range, but there was an amazing selection of wines that suited our budget! read more

This place is a true gem in OB, especially for wine lovers. They always have a great wine selection, and the food is consistently delicious. Plus, their happy hour options are great. Easy go-to spot for a relaxed night with good wine and food. If you have a dog , no worries they have a super cute outdoor patio and a dog menu ! read more

A go-to spot with the girlfriends for wine, apps, and their comfy couches. It's a great little establishment with staff who truly know their wines and can answer varietal questions which I appreciate. Their food menu is European inspired, I would say, with offerings ranging from escargots to beautifully sauced pastas, etc. we love you 3rd corner! read more

My. Oh. My. What a find!! From the time Bebe and I walked in, we felt welcomed. Bebe is my service dog, she's been traveling with me for two years now, so we've had a lot of eatery experiences. Despite her being service and us being permitted to sit inside, I requested to sit on the porch, it's such a welcoming vibe! 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!!! read more

This is a charming place and does feel a bit like being in someone's home (if they had stacks of wine all over). I had the Salmon and soup of the day and both were great. The family had muscles which were weak in taste, Caesar salad, and baked brie. They were less impressed. The service was good and he did check on the table a few times. read more

This place was great!!! I wish it was in our neighborhood tho! Our server was great and the place is too cute. It has a ton of wine! It has seating and a bar inside and then a nice patio area as well. You can actually buy a bottle and drink it there but also then take it home if you don't finish it. We got a little food too. Cheese platter- 4 different cheese and a warmed baguette. They were all very tasty. Chicken pate - creamy and very good. Good portion too. Beet salad- so nice and fresh and the goat cheese was very yummy. Fries- think and crispy- loved! Only remembered to take a pic of the cheese platter. Oops! We will be back! read more

I took my husband out here for his birthday for our first time at 3rd Corner! Their drinks were fantastic (my husband got their seasonal wine flight and I got their version of a G&T). We ordered the following food: -Corvina special - the fish was flakey and packed with flavor with the rich sauce. The sauce was hearty with mushroom, tomatoes, and shrimp. Very tasty! -Crab cake special - crab cakes can be a bit of a bit of miss for me and this one was a hit! They had pops of sweetness from the corn and were not shy with the crab. -Chicken piccata - the Chicken piccata was spot on and delicious. They were also kind enough to provide us a slice of a cake for our birthday celebration. Unfortunately I don't remember thr name of the cake but it was incredible, almost cheesecake-y but not too sweet. I had wrote in my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday but weren't expecting any special desserts so that was such a nice touch! We also ordered their PB old fashioned from their dessert menu and I would highly recommend. 3rd corner is such a lovely little spot and they really seem to have quite a few regulars so they definitely worth coming back to! They have a huge array of wine to bring bottles home as well! It's fun to browse their selection even if you're not coming for a meal! read more

I went for a birthday party which was outdoor on the patio which is the perfect location for a group. The seafood risotto was amazing.

My husband and I moved to OB last month and have driven the by this place a number of times and we're really excited to finally try it! And while my expectations were blown. This is such a cute Chic fine dining restaurant in the heart of OB! The vibe is so elegant in Old School and cozy! Instead of a wine bottle menu you go and pick out your own wine bottle yourself which is really cool and a fun date idea! I loved everything about this place, our server was amazing, the food was tasty, and I loved the wine! I love the seafood risotto and my Tawny port wine to close the night with our flourless chocolate cake! read more

Came recommended by our airbnb host so we decided this would be the place for our last dinner in OB. Love that it's a wine shop and restaurant. You can get a glass of wine that you like and buy the bottle afterwards, it's a win-win situation! Service is attentive and polite, no matter who you ask for assistance. The place is buzzin', but still able to have a nice conversation without yelling at each other. We ordered the mussels and fries, cioppino, and seafood pasta. Of course, we ordered bread and butter. I love some warm bread, but it was tough to slice. I'm spoiled and would love the loaf of bread be pre-sliced haha. Everything was served hot. All in all, it was delicious and satisfying for our last dinner in OB. *Left a star off only because the table we were at was not the cleanest and there were flies buzzing around our table. read more

My family recently hosted a private event at The 3rd Corner, and the experience was excellent. The team was easy and professional to work with, and the quality of both the food and service was impressive--especially for the price. If you're looking for a great spot to host an event of around 50 people, this place is absolutely worth considering. read more

We've been to Ocean Beach bunches of times, but this was our first visit to The 3rd Corner. We sat out on the patio which was lovely and they had those spinning things to keep bugs away. My husband had the short ribs and I had mussels. Both were really good. Our waiter was attentive. Service was good. My spicy Paloma was way too spicy! They took it off the check though. read more

I organized a large dinner party of 22 at 3rd Corner in April. The staff made the event super special and easy and everyone loved their food. I spoke to 5 local restaurants before choosing this one and the "minimums" and restrictions were all over the place; 3rd Corner kept it straightforward and pricing was reasonable (not up charged for a pre arranged table. They even printed a special menu for us and allowed us to hire a private musician. I can't say enough good things! read more

We had an excellent dinner at the 3rd Corner. We had the seafood risotto, sea bass special and another fish dish. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. The wine and beer were also good.

Well i'll start with the good stuff . The ambiance is really lively. It's pretty quiet so easy to have conversation. The waiter was very nice and quite helpful. They seem to have an excellent wine selection at pretty reasonable prices. Unfortunately the food is just ok. Not bad not great, just ok. We had the roast chicken and the sea bass. The chicken was properly cooked but it was under seasoned and the skin was soggy. The vegetables that accompanied the chicken were overcooked. The seabass was cooked correctly but otherwise just ok. Prices are a tiny bit high which would be fine if the food were more exciting. Definitely not a place worth going out of your way for unless you are a true wine lover. read more

A friend highly recommended The 3rd Corner, so we went for our anniversary. It was awesome! We went early to pick out a bottle of wine for dinner. Service was attentive and faster than we needed, and dinner was delicious! Everything seemed pretty fairly priced, so we tried lots of different things and had a wonderful time. I mentioned to the server that we were celebrating, and to our surprise and delight, he brought a special little dessert for us, on the house! It was really a lovely end to a fantastic evening. We'll be going back, hopefully soon! read more

We went for Wednesday lunch. They have a special every Wednesday a hamburger fries and a glass of wine for $25. It's an all day special. We haven't been here in years, but it's still the same ambience, lots of good wines. The service is great and so is the food. Highly recommend. read more

The food was delicious let me start off with that, but the price is a little steep for what we ordered. There was only one server for the whole restaurant so he wasn't able to be attentive to every table. The place is very homey and cozy, but the dirty carpet you can smell when you sit down. read more

On my recent re-visit, the reception at the Third Corner had improved. Specifically, the aggressive and unpleasant "hostess" from my last visit was no where to be found. I was seated at a corner table by the window overlooking West Point Loma Boulevard and perused the menu. There are two dining rooms at The Third Corner: The "White Room", where the white wines and sparkling wines/Champagnes are stored; and the "Red Room", where the red wines are stored and where the bar is located. I like the bar itself, but the handfull of tables in the Red Room strewn along a banquette lack charm and the feeling is that of "Siberia". Accordingly, I would be sure to request to be seated in the "White Room". Although several waitresses passed my table numerous times (often calling out "corner" to warn other servers of their presence), no one approached my table for 15 minutes, despite the quiet room and the early hour [5:30 pm]. There were no apologizes or explanations when the waitress finally attended to the table. The specials of the evening were a good Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup and a Grouper with Red Wine/Butter Soup. I enjoyed them both. I noted the male kitchen waiter would deliver food to the tables by holding out the various dishes in the air saying to no one in particular "Short Ribs?", "Scallops?". He expected the guests to raise their hand as to each "call out", as if the Third Corner was "auctioning off" the food. It would be much more professional if the Waitress who takes the order would identify customers on the order by 1, 2, 3, 4. etc, so that current unprofessional "auction presentation" could be avoided. The after-dinner Irish Coffee was good and properly made. There is a small parking lot along the West Point Loma Boulevard side of the building. If those few spaces are taken, parking can be a nightmare. read more

Absolutely a wonderful place to dine. Every time the food is consistently amazing. Today, we dropped in for a quick bite. I had steak and hubby, salmon. Food was delicious. Service was at the bar.

Service great in general. Bar staff can be hit or miss but at the table the servers are superb. Love the concept. Farro bowl is probably my favorite item. I wish for the menu to be updated as it has not really changed in 20 years hence the 3 stars. It is a good to go to place for food. I like to support local and their wine club which is free to join has great pricing. read more
