Best Romantic Restaurants in Cardiff By The Sea

There are always many ways to praise Valentina, but in few words it is one of the best, if not the best, dining experiences in all of San Diego county.

The food and the service here is above and beyond excellent. A bit pricey, as is everywhere else. Our only discomfort was the noise level - it was difficult to carry on a conversation. But this is one of our favorite go-to places and so will return - and highly recommend it!

I love the big dining room upstairs where I can look out to the ocean. Also, I used the ramp at the back for the first time because, at 85, the stairs are getting treacherous for me. I love Ki's!

My girlfriend and I go there a lot. We usually split the Caesar salad, which is the best ever Caesar! Today we split the avocado toast. It was pretty bland for our taste. We usually think of avocado toast as having some sort of little kick, but this had none. Salt and pepper helped a little, then we asked for some aoli, which was chipotle mayo, which also helped. But we both decided that we wouldn’t order it again.

Our experience was great. We were seated by the window with a view of the ocean. The food was prepared to perfection. Simply a wonderful time.
