   Incredible! We started with the sushi-grade Hot Oil Seated Salmon and the Whipped Buttermilk Ricotta with charred bread for dipping. We also had the Roasted Chinese Eggplant sitting on lemon yogurt and pine nuts that had the appearance of sushi and the taste of beautifully seasoned eggplant. We also had the juicy cheeseburger special which had perfect fries.

   Our waitress, Skye was fabulous! Not only was she knowledgeable, but she had a personality that made the evening even more special. Kudos to the whole staff

   Special thanks to the manager Sunday night who went above and beyond to ensure that I had a nice meal at Kettner! I came for the Whole Fried Snapper, which the restaurant was sold out of, and the subsequent dishes I picked didn't work out (the Roasted Eggplant was extremely salty, and the Grilled Chicken was bland). Per the recommendation of the manager, I got the Spicy Shrimp and Coconut Rice, which were much better. Due to the kindness of the manager, I will be back to Kettner Exchange when I visit San Diego again.

   Honestly this place was hyped up so maybe expectations were too high. But service was extremely slow for the restaurant being so empty. Food was bit overpriced for size/value. Drinks were alright. Idk I probably wouldn’t go back.

   We were seated immediately. The table they sat us at was great and very comfortable. The food was excellent but the real star was our server Mandy. She went the extra mile to make our anniversary dinner special and memorable. It was a great experience.

   Went here to celebrate a 40th birthday. Enjoyed appetizers and drinks. Everything was great. Our server was also great and very knowledgeable about the menu. Loved that they have a valet right out front.

   Overall a great experience. I was entertaining some colleagues and a business partner in town for a conference as a local and they thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Several of our dishes were great. Most notably the hot oil seared salmon that our server recommended and spicy garlic noodles. I wasnt really a fan of the meatball and spicy shrimp plates (but I may be biased having had similar dishes in the past) We arrived almost 30 minutes and the host Erika was exceptionally welcoming and got us seated promptly which was awesome. Definitely would come back, great for a date night or entertaining guests.

    Glad I went, but not sure if I will rush to go back. The food was fine, but not out of this world. Be prepared to order several plates to share with others at the table. Not quite Tapas, but similar. Not a place I would have a business dinner as sharing plates is an intimate experience. Only negative was the margarita drink. Served in an unusually small “juice” glass.
