We ordered potstickers, Caesar salad, wagyu burger and a filet mignon. All of the food was fresh. The wagyu burger was so juicy and a bit messy but could've been transport time that caused that. The filet mignon was a little overdone but flavor was great. We would definitely grab food again or dine in next time we're visiting!

This was such a nice restaurant that sits right by the pool.

We made reservations for the DJ brunch and the DJ was doing his thing! Our server was Marx and he was great, no complaints there. Now to what you all came here for, the food ! It was 3 of us and we ordered the Japanese cinnamon roll, the tocino fried rice, crab cakes, biscuits and gravy, two egg breakfast and of course bottomless mimosas and espresso martinis. When I say ALL the food was good, ALL the food was good. The biscuits were sooooo good. The gravy for the biscuits and gravy was HEAVY on the bacon flavor so if that's not your thing be mindful of that. Oh honorable mention for the cream cheese icing on that cinnamon roll, it was chefs kiss! The only thing I was not a fan of was the espresso martini. It was just not well made. So I'd stay away from that. Other than that, we will definitely be back !

We ordered the Ube French toast, eggs, a mimosa, and a macchiato. The food was very good, and the coffee tasted great. Overall, a good dining experience once we were finally seated.

So many good things to say about this restaurant. First, we weren't sure what to order (soup is a…read moreMUST) so we got one of everything tapas as a group of four and were very happy. The waiter was patient and led us through what my father could and couldn't eat with his allergies. My 11 year old loved the mini burger. Presentation was excellent. They were nice enough to serve everything on the side for her. She loved the fresh crisped rosemary potato chips on the side. Some standouts from tapas menu are patatas bravas with crispy cheese covered potatoes with two dipping sauces (aioli and spicy) and of course the award winning soup earned its place in the menu. Waitstaff and service are outstanding. Plenty of menu options. Wine list is great and they led us to pick a lovely bottle. Definitely a fine dining option that was a great choice for my dad to try food better than he can get at home, as he requested. (Father approved. We had already visited outstanding restaurants like Muzita and Buona Forchetta). Adding Wolf in the Woods to my impress the guests list.

Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat. Would not recommend, i'd say it's the worst thing on the menu and surprisingly fell short. Doesnt feel like it belongs on the menu. - Brussel Sprouts: really good and unique with a peanut butter sauce - Mac and cheese: yummy but nothing special Overall was a great experience but I'd probably only come here on special occasions. Their drinks were also fantastic - the cantaloupe was super tasty. Shoutout Ola for being the best waiter!

Overview: 3.5/5 food hit or miss, service phenomenal, atmosphere beautiful…read more ---- Wednesday is all day happy hour! We got a large variety of dishes at a fraction of their usual price. The happy hour stand outs for me were the: - lamb meatballs $12 - this was the unanimous favorite amongst us, the flavors and juiciness of the meat was great ($4 per ball) - pork belly bao buns 3 for $16 - succulent and tender meat that basically melts in your mouth bc the fat in the best way, and the buns were super soft as well I enjoyed the flavor "crispy" brussel sprouts $10 but the texture was no where near crispy, they were cooked thoroughly but kinda mushy. The steak $25 was ordered as medium rare and was a bit too rare for our liking. But the fries were nice and crispy. The worst thing about the meal was the mac and cheese $8. We all tried it and agreed that it had issues with it being bland and having no depth of flavor, and the cornflake crumble tasted like old oil and stale cereal. Everyone's least favorite item of the night. ---- Notes: - we sat inside and there's not much air flow, it got pretty stuffy and hot during our meal - service was very attentive and charismatic, Dalton did a great job helping with allergy concerns - They were kind enough to split the bill in 3 but unfortunately charged me for an extra beer and I didn't notice it until after we had left - parking was okay, able to find paid street parking around the area ---- Overall: I reallyyyy wanted to like this place more, and I will probably give it another chance in the future bc I see such great potential. The food was just inconsistent btwn dishes with some being amazing and others subpar. If you want to try this place out definitely go on a Wednesday for their all-day happy hour bc their food at their regular prices wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.

Overall, it was a good dining experience, but I felt a little underwhelmed considering the price point and reputation of the restaurant. A favorite was the Oyster Sisig which was by far the most flavorful. All the other dishes felt underwhelming in flavor unfortunately. The quality of the food was definitely there, and you can tell there's a lot of thought and creativity put into the dishes. Everything felt elevated and well-presented, which is what you'd expect from a more upscale dining experience. However, for how expensive the restaurant is, I was expecting a little more of a wow factor. While the food was good, I didn't necessarily feel that the overall experience justified the higher price tag. I think there are other restaurants in San Diego that offer equally delicious food at a more reasonable price. Overall, I'd give Juniper & Ivy a 3.5/5. It's definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you enjoy upscale dining, but I'm not sure I'd be rushing back given the cost. Good quality food, just a bit pricey for what you get!

We were in the area looking for a brunch spot and striking out, and everyone was getting to the "we…read moreneed food NOW" stage, so we ended up at Common Stock. When we sat down, we were a little surprised that the brunch menu was pretty limited compared to the photos that originally caught our attention. I'm guessing those were from the dinner menu. Our server was actually so great about it--he told us to take our time looking it over and that if we weren't excited about anything, we were welcome to leave and he wouldn't take it personally. 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. My son liked the Japanese Potato Hash, although he wished there was another way to add more protein besides bacon. I had the Hot Chicken + Waffle and really enjoyed it, and my husband had the Nashville Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The food took a little longer than expected, but the service more than made up for it. Our server was genuinely kind, honest, and attentive, which can make such a difference. We came in mostly because we were hungry and running out of options, but left really happy we gave Common Stock a chance. Great food and, more importantly, really great service.

We were visiting from out of state and staying in the area, and came across this place on Yelp…read more I'll start by saying the service was good. Our server was friendly and answered our questions, we had no complaints there. However the menu was very limited and the food was okay. We may have had to do more research but it didn't seem very family or kid friendly (menu wise). We ended up getting the pizza rolls, rotisserie chicken, crispy Brussels and chicken sandwich. The pizza rolls I was picturing something like a Totino's pizza roll or a savory cinnamon roll, so I asked about it and our server described it similar to an "empanada". It ended up being closer to a wonton than anything. It wasn't bad but was fairly oily. Wouldn't order again. The rotisserie chicken was really good and I liked the sauce it came with. The chicken was pretty tender as well. The chicken sandwich was okay. There was a lot of mayo/creamy sauce. Combined with the fried chicken it felt a bit heavy. The bun was really good though. We really liked the Brussels sprouts. It has a great citrusy taste and was cooked well.
