I was surprised in OB there would be a restaurant/bar for wine drinkers with such a selection to browse around at affordable price per bottle $11 & up + $5 corkage fee. While browsing around for wine we had, I learned the Pinot Mineur (sp?) is a…More »

5. Beach Garden Cafe
This place has an award winning clam chowder & I can see why! I was there around 1ish & saw other people having chowder on their tables. The chowder comes along with some crackers that have more crunch to them. The combo with a side salad along with…More »
6. Caffe Bella Italia
This place has good Italian food & wine for dinnertime. I think the quality is comparable to Buon Appetito (prices maybe alittle more expensive?). I had a mixed seafood linguine which had plenty of shrimp, clams, mussels, crawfish in a tomato sauce.…More »

Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Encinitas
Been here several times, and brought friends over, who agreed that this "Asian fusion" food was good!
The best calamari I've had to date, since they don't use tentacles, instead the "steak" of the calamari, perfectly seasoned and breaded with no…More »
9. Fugu's Sushi & Wok
For sushi or Chinese/Japanese food, It's located across the street from the "The Comedy Store". There is a small sushi bar, the sushi prices are reasonably priced considering it's La Jolla. They do have a happy hour & lunch specials, but I haven't…More »

American (New)
We went here for drinks, the pitcher of beer was 1/2 off ($8) either Miller or Bud Lights. Plenty of tv's and a projector screen even.
The calamari in my opinion was lacking flavor and overcooked; the sauce tasted quite more of mayo. The waitress…More »
11. Jake's Del Mar
Even though it's a seafood place known for it's great ambiance with a view of the ocean's wave splashing, the 16 oz rib eye steak is very tender. My bf had it, and thought it was better than Donovan's. The steak was $30. I had the seafood mix pot…More »

If you want to be in PB, but want a place that still has some sophistication (yet youthfulness) then this a great place to lounge around with some view of water. Located towards the end of the Garnet street off Mission Blvd by Smart & Final.

13. Kafe Yen
The food is flavorful here. I shared with another, the salmon crispy rolls, the Yum salad with beef (beef is one of the most tender I've had!), the popular chicken curry dish with the bread (bread seem fried, since it was more greasy side & usually…More »

I've been here twice, first time was for a personal celebration, second time for a business celebration. Both times, it has been impressive with the garden unique variety of salad selection (perhaps one of my favorite places for salad appetizers).…More »

When I first walked in the decoration was quite colorful & reminded me almost of being in those parade from all the ornaments of decorations hanging practically every inch of this place. The waitress here was so nice & pleasant. They have some unique…More »
18. Pacific Beach AleHouse

Categories:
Italian,
Venues & Event Spaces,

Food was fresh and very good, a little bit different form of Italian (per my S.O. who travels to Italy frequently for business) food since it does have more kick in flavoring, and lighter sauce. The place is roomy with their seating arrangements. The…More »

21. PB Mika Sushi
This place is definitely has the PB vibe of being "laid back, casual" small sushi place where when you walk in, you'll first see usually the bar taken. No heels, dresses needed, you'll feel right at home even in a sweatshirt. No worries about the…More »

24. Rafaela's Italian Restaurant - CLOSED
Rafaela's is definitely hidden since I noticed first off it's actually a little house that has converted both it's front/back yards for outdoor seating. So be on the look out for it, since it's next to a small condo complex. This Italian place is…More »
25. Roppongi
This place is a good place to sample their Asian fusion tapas that they're known for, especially during Happy Hours which is 1/2 off (never been there at that time though). Only gone here for business & for family from out of town around dinnertime.…More »
26. Taco Man Grill
If I'm ever in the mood for authentic Mexican food, with big portion sizes for reasonable prices, then I think of Taco Man. It's across the street from the Vons on Girard & next to the Bistro restaurant. It's small & almost hidden since I never…More »
