Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Pacific Beach

We were there to quietly celebrate my wife’s birthday and everything was top notch. The food, the service and yes the cocktails. If you are debating? Go.

Love wormwood. Wonderful vibe, delicious food… just wonderful flavors and combinations. We have been there 4 times and it is always a great experience . This time, we had the burrata with prosciutto, brioche bread with rosemary and honey butter, handmade pasta filled with corn, pecorino - the New York meat with mushrooms.. oh just wonderful Thank you!

always wonderful!

Amazing, as usual. This was my 2nd speciality dinner at Cori Pastificio. Acursio and staff always excel at service, food, creativity. From the cocktail to the plates and the wine pairings--excellent, and we learned about the creativity of local chefs using local seafood and local people to present beautiful and delicious food.

What can I say? This is easily one of the best happy hour spots in San Diego! The ambiance is stunning, the service is outstanding, and the food is absolutely incredible. We had yet another fantastic experience here, this time for an early dinner to celebrate my kid’s birthday. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the Japanese sweet potatoes are a must-try, the fish and chips were amazing—so fresh and moist—and the clam chowder was perfection. The smoked trout dip wasn’t my favorite this time, but it was still a solid appetizer. Our server, Mike, was exceptional—attentive, polite, and spot-on with his food recommendations. We’ll definitely be back, and if you’ve never been to this place, make a reservation now. You can thank me later!
