First time here with 6 family members to celebrate Christmas early. What a gift!! I had the silver dollar pancakes with a side of bacon and oh my— every mouthful a pure maple drenched delight. My husband and grandson ordered pigs in a blanket —holy moly!! We’re talkin a huge pancake log roll filled with 3 large pork sausages - big enough to feed 3 adults yet my grandson ate the whole thing!(eye roll). My husband brought a third home for tomorrow. Daughter had brisket hash which came with seasoned potatoes _ she loved it but also took home leftovers because the portions are so large. She also had a pickle bloody mary— the pickle was the size of a toddler’s foot! The eldest grandson decided to try the french toast logs which could easily have been used to build a log cabin!!! His girlfriend wanted the squash blossom entree which came with eggs smothered in a cheese sauce, the fried blossom plus zucchini. Let’s just say no one left hungry.

We were so pleased that Madison has brought back their delicious jambalaya! Having grown up in New Orleans, I can say that Madison‘s jambalaya is some of the best around! Also loved the live jazz, friendly staff, and good vibe of the place!

I guess this is my 5th times @ InsideOut, during my birthday; Thanksgiving; regular days without occasion & this is our first time for Holidays Oasis Experience with my husband. It was beautiful experience especially the ambiance was so fantastic, our server Jonathan, he’s so great. The food kind salty (oven chicken) but the filet mignon was so good very tasty tender, and juicy it was perfect, my husband love it so much that his favorite. It’s 10 score for me. I love the place and definitely is a must to come back and highly recommend 😘

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9/10 Dining at Seneca in San Diego felt like stepping into a dream — the atmosphere was enchanting, with breathtaking views and an ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Our server, Victor, was nothing short of exceptional. His attentiveness, patience, and thoughtful menu suggestions elevated the entire experience. He navigated the evening with grace, making us feel truly cared for. The only reason this isn’t a perfect 10/10 is that the food took longer than expected to arrive. For a moment, time seemed to stretch — but when the dishes finally graced our table, every bite was a masterpiece. It was a delay we were willing to forgive for such a culinary experience. Seneca isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a destination. I’ll be back — and next time, I’ll be ready to savor every second. 🍷✨

The only restaurant in San Diego better than Cesarina is Cesarina at Christmas time. The food and service are as good as you can find anywhere but the already beautiful space is taken to the next level with their stunning and spectacular decorations for the holidays. Cesarina is a MUST any time of the year, but especially so at Christmas.
