- OTOpenTable DinerSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined todayWe were greeted by a polite gentleman and were seated quickly. Our waiter, George, was polite and very informative with the menu. Started with fried calamari. The best I’ve had by far. I had the Friday prime rib special. The meal was spectacular. Meat was cooked to order. Mashed potatoes were buttery smooth. The asparagus was crunchy and seasoned well. My husband had the braised ribs with mashed potatoes. Ribs were tender off the bone. Bbq sauce was slightly sweet and savory. He topped his meal off with a lemon drop cocktail, an old fashion whiskey, and an Irish mule. All were excellent drinks. We ended the night with a delicious slice of key lime pie. This was a dessert pleaser. Smooth and silky filling with whip cream and perfectly baked crust. I was pleasantly surprised by our waiter when he gave me a little berry and granola crumble for my bday celebration. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Our first time there and definitely won’t be our last. This restaurant left a great impression for us.More infoGreat Maple San DiegoPrice: Moderate• American• Hillcrest•4.8
