Update from my last review for this spooky-vibed establishment: After asking a few questions to the GM: Jesse P, he proceeded to explain the dinner menu options, which led to a conversation about the speakeasy menu, which led him to give us a tour of the BEAUtiful hotel and the adjacent wedding venue and shared his vision with how he's pushing to expand the esque. That led me back here tonight to rate their craft cocktails, which honors even the spirits of Witherby. The takeaway? Before you start the party-ing down the block OR after and want to wind down in a velvety style, this is the perfect place to try something that will wake you, your soul, and leave you thinking: "Damn, is the next cocktail just as tasty?" read more

What a perfect place to stop for dinner before heading to the symphony! Our server was fantastic the whole night and was great about making sure service was on time for our plans. I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness. Everything about this place was great for us. I like that their menu is on the simpler side, especially the drinks. They added their own flare, but didn't go crazy like many places do nowadays. I had a simple Veranda Bell to start, which was lovely and refreshing. My guy got the Diablita, which was also very tasty and a great choice. For our meals, we got the Spanish Octopus and the Pork Shank. The octopus flavors were very enjoyable, especially the chimichurri. The popcorn was an interesting change, but I do think it would've been better without it since some pieces were very hard and took away from the overall dish. The pork shank was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone like butter. They gave a nice amount of polenta and mushrooms with the dish. I don't think they needed as much sauce as they put, but it didn't take away from the overall dish. read more

I'm from Florida, and on my first visit to the Witherby, I was curious. The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious and paired perfectly with my dirty martini. Giana was amazing she took care of me during a busy time and had great conversation and energy. This restaurant is a work of art. The underlit quartz bar top was beautiful, along with the emerald green paint, walls with gold accents, and the original brick showing. It's beautiful inside, and I can't wait until next time! read more

FINALLY I had the chance to experience this hidden GEM of a restaurant located inside the fully restored Beau Hotel, originally built in 1886. After walking by several times, I was so excited to finally step foot inside and just wow, the renovation alone is stunning. Dark, elegant, intimate and classy vibes GALORE! My friend and I sat at the end of the bar (which has incredibly comfortable bar stools with height adjustments AND purse hangers- bonus pts for us ladies!) We visited on a Tuesday at 4:30pm for HH. Each of us ordered two glasses of the house white and red wine (the sauvignon blanc was perfect as well as my friends cab!). Both were fantastic. We shared the pork tacos and the caesar salad. Both were absolutely delicious. The Caesar even had anchovies and a perfect dressing to match. Our bartender was super friendly and attentive, checking in on us constantly. We were having such a great time already, when the Food & Service Director, Jesse, approached us an asked if we wanted to take a full tour of the hotel! My heart sank because I am a die hard fan of historic/spooky buildings. The renovations are breathtaking and the details exquisite! Original redwood banister stairways lead you up to the second and third stories, there's an adorable outdoor patio that makes you feel like you're in the middle of Manhattan. This is such a rarity in downtown SD so I was taken aback by the entire experience! Jesse even told us about the spirits/ghosts that "reside" at the hotel which I loved to hear about. The history here is wild, there's even a "speakasy" that used to exist in the back during Prohibition era that we got to see! There is so much to see and explore here, I'm so happy to see this beautiful building restored. Cannot WAIT to come back for a full dinner/date night and to stay in one of the 51 rooms in the hotel for a staycation. Thank you so much to Jesse and the team at Witherby! read more

I love the old school vibe of this restaurant. I'm glad we stumbled upon this place because every dish was amazing! We went based off our server Jeremy's recommendations- who was wonderful btw and so much fun to talk to. The food was cooked to perfection - pork shank was fall off the bone delicious. We also ordered crab cakes, beef cheek, Spanish octopus, duck pot pie, crispy potatoes & brussels sprouts.. you can't go wrong with any of those. Don't forget to save room for dessert because the bread pudding was tasty! read more

My husband made reservations for us to dine at the Witherby on Valentine's Day. The Witherby is the new restaurant with a speakeasy vibe in the newly renovated boutique Beau Hotel downtown. When we walked in, it definitely had the speakeasy feel... as it had a long, striking bar with low lights and a retro flair. Upon talking with our server, we learned that the restaurant in fact used to be a speakeasy, with the back walkway, known as Prohibition Alley. I peaked in the event room, which was not currently in use, but had rumors of poker games with guests such as Al Capone. We were seated and greeted readily by both the host and the server. We were then given a drink menu, as well as a prix fixe Valentine menu. We began with cocktails, as they had an extensive crafted cocktail menu. I had a cocktail called the Diabolita. It was amazing! It was a tequila cocktail with something called "fire bitters" that was not spicy at all, but gave it a kick, almost like a bit of pop rock candy, but without the sweetness. My husband had a lavender gin cocktail which was good, but a bit more traditional The Valentine's prix fixe menu allowed us to share our first course, then choose our own second course, and then share our main course and dessert. For our first course we shared the octopus which was perfectly tender, well flavored and served with a hummus which complimented it nicely. For the second course, my husband enjoyed the Cesar salad. I chose the Vicysoisse. I enjoyed it, but it needed a bit more seasoning. For our main course, we chose the Surf and Turf for two, which was a Filet with scallops served with broccolini. The proteins were cooked perfectly. The broccolini was charred nicely, and had a tasty seasoning. Probably my least favorite part of the meal was the tiramisu. Tiramisu is easily my favorite dessert. However, this was a bit deconstructed. The ladyfingers were quite hard and had not absorbed the espresso flavor. That was the only dish that truly disappointed me. Aside from that I really enjoyed the meal. Service was friendly, but very slow. I do not think this new restaurant was ready for Valentine's Day. First, they had told us that they were out of octopus, but we ended up with the last plate. Then we ordered a wine we were excited about, but they were out. It was strange to me that they were out, as the red wine bottle menu was actually quite small. We then chose a Syrah that they did have, but it took forever for them to actually bring it out. It actually took forever for them to bring anything out after the second course. Luckily, we did not have any plans after dinner, as it would not have worked out. I might have ordered a dessert cocktail at the end of the evening, but I was afraid of how long it would have taken. All in all, the place is absolutely stunning and the food and coktails are very good. I'm not certain about the service as Valentine's Day is sometimes the "Great Equalizer" when it comes to restaurant service. I had a lovely Valentine's Day at the Witherby with my husband, but I think they could have done better. Perhaps we will give them another chance on a non-holiday. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. What a charming, delightful restaurant. The service and food were outstanding at this establishment. We started off with a charcuterie board which had soppressata, prosciutto, 2 types of cheeses, cornichon and a sweet tasty jam. In addition we hap the octopus which was absolutely delicious. For our entrees I had the pork shank which was fall off the bone delicious. It was so delicious, I loved it. My girlfriend had the duck put pie which she really loved. Our friends ordered the short rib and the shrimp linguini. Everyone was so impressed with the great flavors and the expert playing. For dessert we had the angel food cake, tiramisu and bread pudding. Each dessert was delicious and so good. Our server was Sarah and she was phenomenal. She knew the menu items inside out. In addition she was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came here with my friend for their happy hour. We sat at the bar for some tacos, Cesar salad, and wine 8/10. After eating, their GM offered a tour of the place. Not only is it so unique with its spacious hallways, tall ceilings, and original brick walls/wooden staircase... it had a modern twist with its new renovations without losing its nostalgic charm from back in the day. Would like to stay here one day 9/10. He was friendly and is truly passionate on the stories and the future stories, yet to come, of the place. Service was 10/10. The ambiance is amazing so giving it a 11/10. Feeling thankful we found this hidden gem in downtown. read more

A trendy little bar with old school flare, nestled in a boutique hotel lobby. It's not huge but that only adds to the ambience. Went for happy hour because we wanted to try the place out and they boast $10 drinks and a variety of happy hour plates. Yours truly had a scotch and soda; not flamboyant but it got the job done. We shared French fries and a charcuterie board. The fries were awesome and come piled high in a bowl with 3 dipping sauces - the green chile cream sauce being the best of the 3. The charcuterie board came with salami, capicola, manchego, Swiss, honeycomb, cornichons, crostini and a seasonal pumpkin spread. It was perfect for two people and all ingredients were fresh. Great time overall and friendly service. There was an awkward 15 minute period where the only person working seemed to be the bartender and he appeared a little overwhelmed by the line of people accumulating. Everyone survived. I think his help was maybe just on a break because after about 15 minutes it was back to normal. I'd go back for actual dinner next time. read more

I love the boujie ambiance of this new restaurant that just opened this year! The dark green velvet booths with the leather seating exudes fine dining at an affordable price point. Situated in the historic Beau Hotel, this restaurant is far enough away from the noises of Downtown SD but close enough so that you can still enjoy the nightlife. Our waitress, Sara, was more than amazing! She has given me one of the best services I've had in a restaurant. Also, the servers and wait staff made sure we were all well taken cared of. I was early enough to partake in some of the Happy Hour food which was: Fries for $7 - Looks plain but it's perfectly crisp with the right amount of salt and it's amazing with all the sauces it comes with. Hummus & Crudités for $14- This was fresh dish and enjoyed all the vibrant veggies on this dish. Caesar Salad for $13- There was actually an anchovy on top to signal the homemade Caesar dressing on this dish! I had the Mary's Chicken which was still great the day after as leftovers! It was a tad dry but it was pretty good with the Cassoulet. The Prime NY Steak was juicy and I liked the potato side that came with it! The salmon was also pretty good with a crisp skin paired with quinoa. The quinoa was a bit sour due to the vinaigrette. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the birthday girl got a bread pudding. It was super rich and dense. Can easily be shared. Loved the ambiance of this place and we were treated with a tour of the hotel with one of the staff as our tour guide. Loved our evening at this place! read more

Decor: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Cocktails: 5/5 This is a beautiful bar/restaurant inside of a historic space, and they have done a great job making it feel elegant and chic. The people working were very friendly, but not super attentive. We waited quite a long time for service and there weren't many touches at the table, which is kinda crazy since we were basically the only people in the restaurant. Speaking of which, that made the ambiance very awkward. This is inside a hotel, and no one else in San Diego really knows this place exists. It was a ghost town, and even my friends who met me for lunch accidentally walked past it when trying to look for it. The food was a mixed bag, but leaning towards really good. Their Italian chopped salad is so delicious that I ordered two! Their fried chicken was burnt to black on the edges, yikes. And their butternut soup tasted like savory hot applesauce in the weirdest way. The cocktails though? Immaculate and inventive... But super expensive! Nearly $20 per drink. This place scored lower for me because at its price point, I'm considering this a fine dining establishment and the missteps in food execution + slow service did not impress me beyond a 3/5. read more

The Witherby is a new spot inside the Beau hotel that follows the theme of the hotel stylistically. I came for restaurant week. The hostess and server were hith very nice but a bit disorganized with getting me seated then quite a delay before I ordered through the hostess since the waitress still had not stopped by. They also seved my entree and dessert at the same time. The dessert had a warm bread pudding and ice cream. It makes no sense to serve both the entree and a dessert together but with that dessert it especially didnt make sense. These hiccups cost the 5th star. I'd loke to chalk it up to the restaurant being newer and working out some kinks The food was very good. The beef cheek app was awesome. The duck pot pie was very tasty. Thick and hearty with a flakey bread if some sort on top. I really loved the dessert which was excellent. I would definitely get the beef cheek and bread pudding again, but I would probably go for a different entree when I return, even though it was good read more

Their food was absolutely delicious. The creative and excellent flavor and texture combination of their dishes was truly impressive. 1) The hamachi crudo was fresh, refreshing, and bursting with flavor. 2) Every time we see octopus on the menu, we always order it, but not every time is it outstandingly good. However, the Spanish octopus at Witherby was a standout. It was tender and juicy, and the comforting polenta was a perfect complement. The highlight of the dish was the Cajun popcorn, which added a delightful crunch. A spoonful of everything was simply divine! 3) The beef cheek was a delightful surprise. The extra tender and juicy beef tender was flavorful, and the crispy chickpeas added a delightful crunch. The soft and slightly crispy naan bread was a perfect accompaniment. 4) Chicken pot pie is a common dish, but the duck pot pie definitely caught my eye because I prefer something different. It was rich and hearty, with a light, crispy, and layered pastry on top. The combination of flavors was simply irresistible. 5) Their signature dish, the pork shank, was incredible. The meat was tender and juicy, falling off the bones. A little bit of fat meat added a rich and flavorful depth to the dish. Witherby stands out in a sea of similar restaurants in downtown. It's a must-visit for foodies! read more

Stumbled upon this little gem of a restaurant and what a fortunate thing. Food was delicious. The octopus appetizer was delicious. The specialty drinks were tasty too.

Great atmosphere, cool bar and great staff! Started with a spicy margarita... FYI they carry Lala... not many places do so I was happy! We were a larger group and ordered a lot of the small plates. I'm a sucker for broccolini and hummus. Both did not disappoint. The hummus had beef cheek over it which did not disappoint. I had the pork shank. It fell off the bone. The potato's on the small plates is a good shared side dish! The aioli was great, wish it had a little more to dip. Dessert was great! I recommend the banana crepe brûlée. read more

I have a backlog of reviews I need to post but I wanted to post this first because of the wonderful experience we had eating here twice! The hotel and restaurant is in a historic building with cute little lamps on marble tables for an elegant dining experience. We had a reservation at The Beau Hotel and we came in the morning so we decided to eat here for breakfast. We ordered the duck hash, poached egg with polenta & chorizo, and quiche Lorraine. My favorite was the duck hash because there was a generous amount of duck along with crispy potatoes topped with over easy eggs. The server noticed the quiche slice was a bit small and gave us another slice which we appreciated. The following day, we came for dinner where they had a Comic Con special for a $50 three course meal (appetizer, entree, dessert) with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed descriptions of existing menu items - very creative! For appetizers, we opted for the hummus with vegetables - so fresh; and stracciatella with pistachio pesto, beet puree, crispy shallots and toasted baguette - so creamy and flavorful. For entrees, we ordered the braised pork shank - tender and moist, and Faroe Islands salmon - perfectly cooked and crispy skin. For dessert, we chose the sundae and bread pudding which was a perfect way to end our meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted SO DELICIOUS. This was such a great value for 3 courses and even the regular menu prices are reasonable for the level of quality and taste that comes with it. The menu is so thoughtfully curated and you can tell by how passionate Jesse and the entire staff are about the restaurant & food. They were phenomenal and provided the best service of being polite and friendly, making our dining experience very enjoyable. Hidden gem in San Diego that recently opened but I foresee that it won't be hidden for long as our server Jeremy said. This was the most memorable meal of our trip and it might be a new yearly tradition for us to eat here when we come for Comic Con! read more

We received a gift card to the witherby and were excited to try it. Their customer service is 100/10. Felt like we were dining at a friends home rather than a restaurant. The history of the hotel/bar is a great plus and really enhances the cozy ambience. The food is wonderful, especially the crudo, pot pie, and chowder. I was surprised to see two vegan soup options on the menu. We ordered both and were blown away! Great cocktails and wine as well. read more

Tried Witherby for restaurant week and holy moly, everything we had was delicious !! Restaurant was tucked inside the hotel lobby. We were there around 5ish on a Sunday and was able to find street parking fairly quickly. It was $65 for 3 courses and I ordered the octopus, salmon, and pumpkin panna cotta. Octopus (5/5): Cooked perfectly and tender. Salmon (5/5): This dish was executed with such skill that you can literally hear the crisp of the fish skin when spearing the fork in. Pumpkin panna cotta (4/5): Rich but the meringue on top was a bit too sweet for me. It's also on the denser side and not as silky than what I'm used to. What my boyfriend ordered- Beef cheeks & Pork shank (5/5): Both were super moist and tender. The meat easily fell off the bone and the pork shank was a big portion, my bf felt it def hit his protein goals for the day. Bread pudding (5/5): One of the best bread puddings I've had. Overall, the food was amazing. The only thing that took away from the experience was the seating arrangement. We were seated sooo close to the table next to us that we can hear their whole conversation. The date night ended up less intimate than what we intended. This might be something you might want to be mindful of depending if you're celebrating any special occasions ? read more

I love this place, and as a local, I am thrilled to have a new spot to indulge my love of food and drink. There are the old reliable standbys, but Witherby is a gorgeous addition, much needed and so welcome. The service is friendly, accommodating, and the food is delicious and perfect for sharing. I came here to celebrate a dear friend's 50th Birthday, and it was fantastic. Thank you, Sarah, for such a warm and memorable experience. Thank you, everyone on staff. Just perfect. read more

Cool elegant vibe, but there was only one person taking orders and serving the weeknight we were there for happy hour so not a great start as there was a large party seated next to us (though harried, the waiter was nice). The happy hour menu is fairly limited and the house wine option only offered two choices (Chardonnay or Merlot) which we were told regularly changes. The 6th Ave. Cheesesteak looked better than it tasted as it definitely lacked flavor and could do with a smear of horseradish or some other condiment. The burger got a better review from the table. read more

Came to this place with my husband per my friend's recommendation. We enjoyed the place quite a bit. It has a 1930's decor vibe (along with the staff's attire matching this era) that actually coincides with their food and drink menu. Drinks were creative, food was tasty. I'd come back for the decor and drinks tbh. A good spot to drop in on. read more

Absolutely perfect all the way around! The food was simply amazing! The guy that sat us said it's his first night and apologized up and down and then it turned out that he's also our waiter and he was just awesome! I will for sure fly into San Diego just to come eat here again... read more

Checked out Witherby during restaurant week around 5:30 to catch their happy hour and try the 3-course menu. First off, the old fashioned I ordered was excellent--smooth, balanced, and just as good as any fancy cocktail bar I've been to. For starters, we tried the beef cheek and the octopus. The octopus was cooked perfectly, paired with creamy polenta and topped with popcorn for a fun texture twist. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the combo with hummus and crispy chickpeas underneath made it one of my favorite bites of the night. For mains, we split the pork shank and the salmon. The pork shank was massive, super tender, and packed with flavor. The fried mushrooms and polenta on the side weren't just fillers--they really added depth to the dish. The salmon was perfectly medium with crispy skin and came over black quinoa, which was new for me and surprisingly good. Desserts didn't disappoint either. The bread pudding easily makes my top 3 of all time--crispy edges, soft inside, and paired perfectly with ice cream. The pumpkin panna cotta was also a winner, especially for anyone who likes a lighter but still sweet ending--it had a strong pumpkin flavor throughout and the meringue on top was a nice touch. Service was outstanding--our waiter Jeremy was funny, attentive, and you could tell he's a pro. Honestly, he made the night even better. The space itself is tucked inside a hotel lobby, and by 6:30 most of the tables were full, so it's definitely picking up buzz. Parking is the only downside--it's either meters or a lot across the street, so plan ahead. With happy hour running every day and a solid restaurant week menu, this spot feels like a hidden gem. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here this evening for cocktails and dinner. Unfortunately, I didn't get the person's name who initially greeted us at the bar, but she was friendly and gave us a little history about the hotel and restaurant. Heather and Elijah took care of us for the rest of the evening. Ordered the Cesar Salad ,Duck Pot Pie and the Pork Shank, all were delicious and the pork shank was so tender, no knife was required. We ended the meal with the bread pudding. Do not pass on this dessert. Now for the best part, we ordered a few cocktails and come to find out it was Elijah who created the cocktails we were enjoying. Great Vibe and super friendly staff. Can't wait to go back to try more of the cocktails and their HH menu. read more

I stopped by around 12:30 on a Thursday afternoon. Parking can be tough. You might find street parking, or you can pay $19 for a minimum of two hours across the street. The space itself is beautiful, with vibrant colors and a mix of seating options: tables with chairs and sofas, high tops, and bar seating. Service was great. The bartender handled all the orders, and since it wasn't very busy, it worked out just fine. Here's what we tried: *Vodka Martini: My friend ordered his with blue cheese stuffed olives and said it was hands down the best martini he's ever had. *Burger: Advertised as a smash burger, but it wasn't. While the patties were thin, the thick bread reminded me of Burger King buns. Very plain, nothing special, and a burger you could easily make at home. It did come with fries on the side. *Burrata Salad: My friend enjoyed it, but I wasn't impressed. The lemon vinaigrette flavor didn't do much for me, especially after having an amazing burrata salad elsewhere the day before. The lunch menu is very limited, while the dinner menu looked more appealing with options like steak and salmon. Many of the lunch items are also on the dinner menu. Overall, the space is stylish and worth visiting for drinks, but the food left me underwhelmed. I'd come back for cocktails, but probably not to dine. read more

We visited this restaurant and took part in the Valentine's day menu... this restaurant is divine! We had the octopus as an appetizer to start and it melted in our mouths; this was by far my favorite item offered on the menu, and it was only the first dish we tried. The second appetizers we tried were the beet salad and the clam chowder, and these were good palate cleansers before our main course. Finally, we made it to the main course, and were astounded by the rich mushroom flavor of the risotto, the crispy broccolini, the succulent seared scallops, and the equally delightful filet mignon. We ended our experience with flavorful bread pudding, that was the perfect caramelized finale. I would love to commemorate our server Jeremy for his role in our excellent evening, as well as the chef for their delicious selection that was prepared for a perfect Valentine's Day evening. Well worth a visit! read more

Excellent drinks. The 1886 old fashioned is worth a trip of its own. The espresso martini was excellent too but we went back for 3 rounds on the old fashioneds.

While staying at The Beau, we had to check out the Witherby Restaurant & Bar inside, and it was a great experience. We mostly went for small bites and drinks, and everything hit the spot. The standout for us was the Beef Cheek dish, something new to us, and we absolutely loved it. The cocktails and wine selection were also excellent.
