In spite of being located in a strip mall, this place has it all. The food is wonderful and is based on seasonal ,fresh ingredients. The wine list is extensive and the owner is extremely knowledgeable. No one else in the area brings in A-list names for wine dinners. The happy hour menu is the greatest value in San Diego--I... more

Professional staff, fresh ingredients, good wine pairings, tasty steak and fish dishes. Even though it is in a strip mall, the ambience inside is comfortable. It isn't fancy, is romantic(but not private). The wine dinners sound fantastic too. I'll go back. more

We had reservations for a party of 4 during restaurant week. Even though our reservation was made well in advance, and confirmed ahead of time, we still waited 20 minutes before being seated. 3 out of 4 people in our party ordered the "grilled black angus new york strip steak in a port wine reduction", which we all ordered MEDIUM... more

We go to this eclectic restaurant every week. We love the food, wine and the drinks. Greg, the bartender, supreme, will mix you a perfect martini -any kind you request. And Jill, the hostess, greets us warmly and certainly makes sure that we have everything we need. To the chef: I am the 1.5 stuffed porcini mushroom person - love... more

Loved this quaint restaurant. It's location isn't the greatest otherwise I think it would be a huge hit in the area...I live here and didn't know about it until now (been open over a year) Anyway, fabulous food! Very gourmet, but not weird. Really good flavors...Great wine list. Had a super cold, refreshing cosmo martini. Perfect. Ambiance is dark and... more

My husband and I decided to try a new restaurant on our way to the movies, and this one happened to be just across the street. Its a little tucked away in a strip mall and I wasn't sure what to expect...actually I only new the place as Firefly and figured it was some burger/bar place, but boy was I... more
