Brunch costs close to $40, but it's really good. There was a good variety of both meat and seafood dishes, and fruit and yogurt. Some of my guests were vegetarian, and there were plenty of choices for them. Service was very good, but there was only one person helping our whole table. I feel another server would have been helpful, so everything wasn't left up to him. The drinks were pricey, but then again, this is a resort. Everyone enjoyed both the food and drink. The key lime pie brought out for my birthday dessert, was one of the best I've tasted. A couple of tips for management: Make sure large parties are warmly greeted as they arrive. When I walked in with my party, we weren't taken to our table, so we walked ourselves to it. For celebrations, maybe consider including a mimosa with brunch. Offer a discount on brunch and free parking for parties of 6 or more. I will definitely dine at Vessel Restaurant again! I enjoyed the brunch, ambience, and service. Don't forget to try that key ‍

Between the service and the food, I won't be returning…read more We have been looking for a nice place to eat with a good view all evening and finally settled here. We loved the place as soon as we walked in, gorgeous set up and view of the dock and sunset. We ordered a charcuterie plate and a mocktail while we looked at the menu. We saw a few other things we thought about trying, that was until the charcuterie came and the waitress was flighty. The charcuterie board was the most pathetic thing I have seen, and I have tried so many boards through the city. For 30 dollars you got a handful of cheese, 6 salamis, and 2 prosciutto... That is wild. I had more crackers then I had meat and cheese combined. The presentation was pathetic. I've gotten better and nicer charcuterie boards at pizza places. After that we decided to get the check and go, I couldn't justify spending more money here after what this looked like. The service was completely packed luster. The server seemed uninterested in our table, not sure why. I have great childhood memories at the resort. I don't think I will be coming back.

Additionally, our server was great, attentive, and patient. What I got: - Flank steak: this was good, I used the dipping sauce from the coconut shrimp to add a little "something something" to it, which made it really good. - Coconut shrimp: the only issue I had was the portion size! Sooo good, yet gone so quick lol. Overall, I did enjoy my meal here and would like to go back to try food that was not on their SDRW menu.

This time it was restaurant week, so fiancee ordered off that menu while I went with an app + drinks. Their signature mai tai is actually a great value because it's a large portion of straight alcohols (no juice) for around $14 - fiancee was a fan. I liked how many other options with delicious tropical mix ins they had, and relished both cocktails that I tried. Food was good, not great, but above what you'd expect for a "views" centric restaurant that also happens to serve wonderful drinks as well as embody the essence of SD style and hospitality.

I ended up parking about a five minute walk away. When you walk in you're greeted by the hostess, and you can choose to sit inside, at the bar, or outside by the pool. We ordered: * Pickle Dip: This was delicious and came with nice, crispy chips for dipping. * Animal Fries: Fresh, filling, and really tasty. Definitely easy to share. * Poolside Ceviche: The fish tasted very fresh, and it came with a bowl of tortilla chips. * Cheeseburger: A simple, classic cheeseburger with a bun, beef patty, and cheese, but still really good. During Golden Hour appetizers and favorites are 50% off, which makes the prices especially good. They also have drink specials including select wines for $10. By the pool they have a projector and host movie nights so definitely check their schedule if that sounds fun. When we visited there were quite a few customers inside. We were the only ones actually seated by the pool, and we saw a couple of hotel guests laying out, but no one was swimming. Another big perk is that they're dog friendly and will bring you a bowl of water for your pup. Overall this is such a fun, retro, and unique spot. The prices are great, especially during Golden Hour, and the portions are very shareable. The three of us easily split two favorites and an appetizer. Definitely worth checking out!

Before we arrived, I mentioned that I was taking out someone special, and the staff went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, they treated us with such genuine kindness and attention that we felt like celebrities. Every detail made us feel welcome and cared for. My date looked absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere couldn't have been more perfect. We enjoyed fresh oysters, amazing cocktails, and spent the evening watching vintage movies by the pool. It felt like stepping into another era--relaxed, romantic, and effortlessly cool. Our servers were attentive without ever being intrusive, and their warmth elevated an already incredible night. It's rare to find a place where the service, food, drinks, and atmosphere all come together so perfectly. This is a night I'll never forget, and I'm already hoping this becomes the place where we celebrate future moments together. Thank you to everyone at Ponyboy for helping create a special evening.

The iconic geometric wood ceiling, dramatic chandelier, and moody lighting make the space feel effortlessly cool. The craft cocktail program is legendary, and the elevated gastropub menu is just as impressive, the grilled octopus was tender with a wonderful smoky char, the Jidori chicken was remarkably juicy with perfectly crispy skin, and the sea bass was delicate and flaky. Taking off one star because street parking along India Street can require quite a bit of circling during peak evening hours, and the dining room gets rather loud and dim once the crowd settles in. Still, an absolute San Diego staple and a top choice for a stylish date night, late-night craft drinks, or dinner with friends.

I find myself craving those wings every week because it's the perfect, crisp and batter to ratio texture. They're also not overly sweet and the perfect amount of sauce over the wings along with their pickled veggies. Everything I've tried here from their poke tacos, rangoons, pho, and even their stir fry noodles have never failed me. Their service is also fast and very chill.

Steak was a bit well done but had great flavor. The poke nachos and shrimp ceviche were delicious and fresh. I wasn't a fan of the garlic green bean, it was lacking flavor. The salmon was cooked just right and had a sweet and umani flavor. They have a patio area with a great view. Highly recommend when it's not raining.

Bartenders and staff are super friendly and flexible to customize your cocktail experience. The first time we went, we had the Christmas in San Diego cocktail, a coconut fat washed delight, and the Oaxacan Triceratops with mezcal. Wow!! The flavors, the froth, the presentation were executed so well. Went back the next day and the Christmas in San Diego wasn't available due to a delayed delivery and the overnight process needed for the coconut fat washing. That's how you know this place is legit...The bartender was super and offered many alternatives based on my preferences. Landed on a drink he concocted with some similarity. I liked it and he was kind enough to discount it and totally willing to make me something else if I didn't. Great open space with a patio, gift shop, cafe, and live performances. Quiet enough to hunker down with great coffee and study as many were doing around us. Lovely daytime experience for our vacay.

My husband and I had been wanting to check out False Idol for quote some time. We finally went…read morerecently on a Thursday evening and had a 10PM reservation. We were going for drinks after my husband's birthday dinner. At first I was confused as I didn't realize it was inside of Craft and Commerce, but after asking a few people, we were able to join the check-in line. Anyway, there was a long line waiting to get into the speakeasy. I didn't mind, as we were about 20 minutes early, but it was a little chaotic and I wondered why the line was taking so long to just check in. Some of the parties in front of us didn't have reservations, as they were turned away at the door. We were greeted warmly and asked to wait a few minutes. We were then walked through the entrance. The decor was spectacular. We walk though a skull-lined hallway and found ourselves in an eclectic, tropical paradise. At first, we were offered to get drinks at the bar where we could wait until our table was ready. However, there was a cute little table with a couple of stools right by a waterfall, and they offered doe us to sit there instead if we preferred. It was a cute little setting, so we opted to stay there and forgo our reserved table. Unfortunately, we realized a bit too late that it was not a good place for a date night conversation, as the bar is really loud and the stools were too far apart to have a good conversation. We were greeted by our servers, one who was a trainee. They walked us through a very long menu that was a bit of a book. They asked our drink preferences, and made some recommendations. The drinks were good and beautifully decorated. Some of them came in fun glasses. I had both the Jet Pilot and the Mai Tai. My husband enjoyed both of his cocktails. He chose them because they were supposed to have banana. Unfortunately, he couldn't taste the banana in either, but he enjoyed them regardless. Service started off great. When our server came back to see if we wanted a second cocktail, we weren't quite ready, as the menu is large and we were still making selections. Unfortunately, it took her a really long time for her to return, so we almost asked for the check instead of the second cocktail. We did end up ordering the second one, but it would have been nice if we had been checked on more frequently. We saw a few tables with several people order large cocktails meant for a group. When they brought them out, there were thunderstorm special effects that were fun. All in all, I thought the decor was really great. The drinks were good and the service was friendly, but a little lacking. I thought the check in process was a bit of a zoo, and I also felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit chaotic. I might give it another chance on a quieter night, and request a table that creates for a better date night conversation spot.
