- JJimSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoService was excellent. We requested a heated table outside, but 2 of our party were still too cold and the staff accommodated us by seating us back inside. A mistake was made getting an order entered properly into the computer, but the server immediately dealt with it - the late dish was immediately comp'ed and a replacement amazingly appeared within minutes. All of the staff were friendly and gracious. Food was delicious and good value.

- DDavidSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoPotions were generous and reasonably priced. Fish was cooked and seasoned to perfection (mesquite grilled). New England clam chowder is literally the best I’ve ever tasted. My Cadillac margarita was only $13, also delicious. Service was very good (would have rated “excellent” but for the fact that she didn’t check back after we were served our entrees to see if everything was okay, which it WAS).
