Best Casual Restaurants in San Diego

Sat at a table in the bar. Friendly & very good service. Good cocktails - really enjoyed the Queen of Crowns drink with the tarot card - fun presentation & a nice balanced cocktail. Loved the sliders & fries!! Fun evening.

My family and I had the best experience at Tidal. What a cute, quaint and peaceful Christmas Buffett dinner. The staff were very attentive and kind. They took the time to talk to us and despite it being a Buffett they offered to get us food items. We were there for almost 3 hours and it sure did not feel like it. The food was amazing, great seafood and even picky eaters were thrilled with the options. We sat outside at sunset taking in the beautiful views. Bartender even created a special drink for me. I try to take my dad to a new Christmas Buffett dinner every year ( we are local) we’ve been to about 10 different places, and the tidal hands down was bar far the best experience we’ve had. I will 100 percent go back.

My son and I had a late lunch on Christmas Day. From the time we were seated, to the time we left, we felt we had enjoyed a fine dining experience. The food was exceptional. Our servers, Maya in particular, made us feel welcomed throughout our meal.

I have been here 3 times and every time my experience was really good. This evening we had the best waiter, Nadia. She provided the best service! We had the meat lovers pizza, Demi Moore burger, and Kale Cesar salad. All really tasty! Also the decor of the restaurant is a vibe!

The small plates are entirely original, owing more to Asian and other fusion than to Spanish tapas. The cocktails were original and enhanced the meal. Ambience was great
