Restaurants near Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown

Animae for Valentine’s Day was a worthwhile epicurean adventure. Highest recommendation. Was it on the expensive side? Yes. One of the most expensive steaks I’ve ever eaten. Worth it. As the server said…decadent and unctuous. And the bonchon was perfect. Would have preferred to sit next to my date instead of across from, but I totally get it. Only so many tables and so much space. Our server was attentive, engaging, just the right amount of funny, and enhanced the experience. Every plate surpassed expectations by the 4oz A5 Miyazaki steak and deconstructed tuna crudo were my favorites.

Great cocktail menu, but not inexpensive. Tapas are excellent, but not a lot of choices. Go here for the drinks and a light bite.

I made a booking for in the Bar area because my boyfriend and I wanted a more casual experience since we are both in the industry and just wanted to relax and enjoy. We put a note in our reservation that we were celebrating our V day early and on arrival to our table were greeted with a wonderful, spacious booth and rose petals that were so unexpected! Our server Eddie was energetic with a perfect balance of casual, Meeting us exactly where we were in our tempo of the evening. Him and his assistant were there exactly when we needed and not anymore We truly had such a better time than we even imagined, we were using a gift card but we will absolutely be back again. Food was wonderful but the service was even better, will be back for both. Thanks so much Eddie for a seamless dinner and the celebration dessert!

Filet mignon tacos are amazing! Passion fruit agua and Horchata are a must!!

Love this place, awesome food and location. Would recommend if near by.
