We had dinner before seeing "Cyrano". Although you can eat outside we like the inside decor, with orange lighting and a sense of a Spanish Hacienda. The tortilla soup was scrumptous, the baby leaf salad was fine, and the braised short ribs with bleu cheese brulee was delicious. They had a excellent Calif Merlot for under $7. Their prices are... more

I was told this is a high end restaurant, but our waitress gave me the feeling she was paid on commission with the way she was trying to push items on us. We started off with an appetizer of “crispy calamari fries”. The calamari was barely lukewarm and served on a half-hearted cabbage slaw and slathered in a too sweet... more

We visit Balboa Park at least once a month and always time our trips to include dining at The Prado during Happy Hour. The calamari in a tangy, sweet peanut sauce is terrific, especially paired with a big pile of hot shoestring potatoes and a cold beer or big glass of house red. Makes my mouth water just thinking about... more

We ate dinner at the Prado on July 18. We were hot and tired after a full day at Balboa Park. The decor is casual, colorful and stylish. They have a lovely outdoor patio with umbrellas and a spanish-style fountain. Due to humidity that day, we opted for air conditioned indoor seating with a view of the fountain. All the... more
