What an absolute five star experience. Impeccable service. Every ingredient was well thought out and sourced. The setting was intimate, special and well curated. Each dish was delicious and an absolute work of art. I truly appreciated the sommelier service as well. Thank you for the experience, worth every penny
337 is such a gem and special restaurant. We came here for my birthday, and it was the perfect treat. Chef jay brings you into his world with food, and every course is delicious.
Securing a reservation here is no easy feat given the tiny footprint (around 12 seats max), but Three Three Seven delivers an absolute masterclass in intimate fine dining. The food is clever, deeply imaginative, and features brilliant, nostalgic throwbacks to childhood. Having the chef personally guide us through the history of each plate made the evening feel incredibly special. Don't let any negative reviews scare you off the wine pairing, either--we did it and thoroughly enjoyed about 80% of the selections. Plus, the service is top-tier; they instantly swapped out a glass for a neighboring guest who preferred a different flavor profile. It's an investment for a special night out, but one that is completely worth the price tag. Highly recommend!
An absolutely unforgettable private dining experience for our group of eight at Three Three Seven. From the moment we arrived, the evening felt special. Beginning in the nostalgic living room for happy hour immediately set the tone -- warm, intimate, and full of character. It felt less like entering a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a beautifully curated memory. The 11-course experience was extraordinary, but what truly elevated it was Chef J's storytelling before every dish. Each course came with a thoughtful narrative -- where the ingredients were sourced, the personal memories that inspired the dish, and the story behind its creation. This added an entirely new layer to the meal, almost like an additional "texture" and "flavor" beyond what was on the plate. Hearing those stories evoked memories and emotions of our own, making every bite more meaningful and immersive. It transformed dinner into an experience that engaged all the senses, including memory and emotion. One small note: while the wine pairing option is thoughtfully curated and complements the experience well, it would be nice to also have the flexibility to order wine by the glass or bottle--or even beer--for those who prefer a different approach. Exceptional food, beautiful presentation, and one of the most memorable dining experiences we have ever had. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something truly unique and deeply personal.
What an experience. When you know the "why" behind something it completely changes the experience. It definitely makes you feel more connected. We arrived at 6:45 and the other 6 people were there on time as well so we all walked up with the hostess. When you walk in, it's very nostalgic. They have an old tv playing movies and other memorabilia. There are two couches to sit on and we were given a sparkling rose for the happy hour. We all sat and chatted until they started calling us in one group at a time. When you enter the dining/kitchen area, the seating is set up in groups of two and we all faced the kitchen. Chef Jay explained how the evening would go and then someone came around to take the orders- add ons, etc. There is some really cool art work and it was fun to watch the chefs at work. As I said earlier, the stories behind the food give it so much more texture. Not only is the food great, you're understanding why you're sitting there eating that particular course. Everything we ate was so flavorful and balanced. My favorites were the oyster and the drumstick. The oyster was huge and meaty and everything the chef added complimented it. The drumstick was absolutely fantastic. The chicken skin was crispy and caviar was the perfect topping. Chef Jay is certainly talented! The only thing I would change is offering drinks by the glass. You can only add on the wine tasting at this time. Chef Jay said this was a new wine selection that he curated himself. We really enjoyed some of them and felt they really balanced the particular dish. You want to experience this.
Very cool experience I highly recommend! You can tell every detail of the place was thought about, the stories with the food was my favorite along with the wine! Food was so good, you wouldn't think you'd leave full but you do. Overall 10/10 you should check it out! Cheers chef Jay and his team, you guys are doing great! :)
My husband and I finally got to see this place and how amazing was it. We did the 6 course meal and it was a splendid experience. The head chef told his story through the plates. Naveah maître d' was on top of it and the sommelier was super knowledgeable. There were only 10 seats available which makes it a very intimate experience. The only one thing I will say is was it was pretty cold in the place so bring a jacket! Definitely interested going back for the 11 course menu!
I want to start off by saying that please do not be deterred by my rating! If i could i would do a 3.5/5! To start: such a great and neat experience! I definitely recommend it. It's unique, intimate and warm. Chef and his staff are absolutely welcoming, professional and kind. The setting is charming and quiet. Very well put together! The food was good, some items were delicious and other items were okay. What really upset me the most was the wine pairing. I do not recommend adding this on. Approximately $120 (6 glasses). The price wouldn't have been such a big deal if the wine served was actually good and if the pours were actually full not just 3oz pours. Sorry but not even NAPA wineries charge $120 for tastings! On-top of that, they paired the dessert course with Roscato (literally a $10 bottle you can find at any grocery store). I highly recommend going to wineries and snagging wine bottles that can only be bought at the winery. And to add, two of the six tastings did not pair well with the course, the wine tasted bitter after. I was extremely disappointed in that and thats the main reason im leaving a 3 star review.
Three Three Seven is hands down the best meal of my life. We did the Six at Seven and every course felt like a story, Chef Jay Fernell, a Louisiana native, combines southern soul food that have meaning to him growing up with California freshness in a way that's both comforting and elevated. The intimate setting (just eight seats a night) makes it feel like you're part of the magic, watching him finish each dish right in front of you while sharing the inspiration behind the flavors. Six courses later, I left full and happy. This isn't just dinner, it's an experience I'll be dreaming about until I come back. Pro tip: add the wine pairing. The sommelier there has really done well with making the wine and food pop!
I've never had a better meal in my life and I've eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the world. Chef manages to source the most fresh and local food and serve it to you in a way that is so non pretentious. It blows my mind how he can make food taste. It's an absolute treat for the senses. Service is only 8 people in a room and there's only four people serving you.
I wanted something different and special for my boyfriend's birthday. We've done the usual suspects -- Addison, Callie, Mister A's, etc. -- and while they're all great, I was looking for more of an experience. I turned to Reddit, and Three Three Seven came highly recommended. The atmosphere is cozy, personable, and elevated. It feels like dining with friends you've never met, all gathered for something special. With no more than 8-10 seats, it's intimate in the best way. The food was delicious and intentional, but watching the chefs prepare each course was the real treat. Every dish came with an explanation of the inspiration and the personal stories that shaped each bite. It was a memorable, glorious evening. Now we're looking for a Saturday table!
This dining experience was truly the highlight of our trip. Honestly, I almost don't want to leave a review because I know it'll just make it harder to get a reservation... but it's too good not to share. Chef Jay is incredible. The whole experience feels like you're dining in someone's chic loft in Soho, New York with black walls, wood floors, and seating for only eight guests at a time. It's intimate, unique, and unlike anywhere else. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and Chef Jay personally explains each one, which makes it even more special. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the attention to detail was unmatched. Huge thanks to Chef Jay and the entire team for making us feel so at home. We can't wait to come back and we're already looking forward to the fall menu!
Overall the experience was amazing. Ambiance was cool, service was awesome, and the food was phenomenal. I really enjoyed the chefs story behind every dish and the upgrade options. My only complaint was the wine. I felt like it was lackluster, wines you would buy at Total Wine and More. For the price I would have expected better quality. The food was by far the stand out!!
What an experience! This place has been open for over two years, and somehow I only discovered it a few weeks ago. After reading the reviews, I knew I had to try it. The 15-course meal was incredible. Chef Jay took us on a memorable food and history journey, explaining each dish, how it was created, and the personal memories behind it. Each course seemed to get better and better. By the 11th course I was completely full and had to start sharing, but everything was too good not to try. The staff was attentive, friendly, and fun, with just the right amount of energy. I also loved the open kitchen concept, which reminded me of Lilo in Carlsbad. Between the music, warm and inviting decor, excellent service, and amazing food, the entire experience felt special. I can't wait to come back when the menu changes with the season! read more
We had a great time here last night. The service was amazing and stories with details were so interesting . You start in a living room that is part of an apartment and all get introduced to each other and feel part of something special. Raoul was a great host with such a warm and inviting personality. One couple at a time gets seated and offered a first bite as you are introduced to chef Jay. You can feel his love of food in everything he meticulously sources for all of his dishes. The small bites are all delicious . Some are better than others like the oyster, bread course, and his version of a savory ice cream cone. Intentionally leaving out some specifics because this meal should have some surprises for you to enjoy. There are also some areas for improvement as well. Both main courses that were intended to be eaten hot were cold by the time we got them. The story telling continues while the food sits. Everyone is being polite and waiting for the descriptions to finish. It would be nice if you were told to please start as things are described. I took it upon myself to do so on one of the courses. I had paid for an upgrade with some truffles and was half way through when the chef came to add some truffle. When i told him i was half done he said well you started eating before i had a chance to add them. I should have just refused them but didn't and i could not even taste them on my half gone cold dish. The pros certainly outweighed the cons.. but hot food served hot should be a priority for any chef. read more

The best restaurant in San Diego! We came for our anniversary and it was amazing. All the dishes were perfectly cooked and unique in the best way. The chicken skin with caviar was one of the best things I've ever had. Chef Jay is great and we can't wait to come back in the near future and try their Fall menu! read more

What a wonderful experience we had! This hidden gem had been on my radar since the pandemic. We arrived at a historical landmark 2 story building on a busy street. Three Three Seven is located on the second floor. We were buzzed in and a kind lady escorted us up the stairs. The calm and observant Chef Jay delighted us with stories behind each dish. All of our senses were engaged as we soaked in the stories and took each bite, while another diner exclaimed, "It's the Ratatouille moment-- where the food critic is brought back to his childhood after a bite". Chef Jay not only offers us his tasting menu at the end , but he also adds his spotify list which was carefully selected to go with each dish. Wow! read more
