My wife and I spent an evening at the Jsix restaurant, and we were not disappointed. The standard menu offerings are diverse, with something for everyone. We normally start with charcuterie and cheese, but were drawn to the "Chef's Mercy" menu: a five course offering that can also include drink pairings if you like. What made it so unique was... More

My daughter and I met my cousin here for dinner this evening. None of us had ever been though we had always wanted to try it. Welcoming and open atmosphere. The staff was knowledgable helpful and not overwhelming. We started with wine and a calamari and lemon remoulaude with grilled parsley done to perfection. My daughter started with the potatoe...

San Diego must have incredible restaurants. This is a good pick.the room is lovely and the Service attentive. With several veggie options it worked for us-generally appetizers and salads are the most enticing. However the well mixed cocktail I had with mulled apple Serrano chilliest lime and vodka was a highpoint. The mushroom ravioli had sufficient models but insufficient filling.... More

During my four night stay in San Diego, this was my favorite restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent service. Great location in Gaslamp district. I was with 6 other people. We all enjoyed our dinner. At the waitresses's suggestion I ordered the braised short ribs. Never would I have ordered this on my own but, it was excellent. Very tender and flavorful.... More

Food was really excellent and fresh, well prepared, and well served. If you like lentils, you must try their Beluga lentils!

Jsix is the place to come to for one of those special meals that will stand out in your memory. The restaurant is located, as the name suggests, on J St. and 6th Ave., a short walk from the hype of 5th Ave. The menu uses fresh produce you would not normally expect to find in traditional American dishes, for...

This place was just a little too fancy for me. I'm not the kind of person who usually eats at places where you can actually get anything as confit. I was on business and my coworkers chose the place. They loved it. I ordered the duo all natural chicken. It came with a chicken breast and chicken confit salad with... More

The lunchtime entrees were innovative, freshly cooked, and reasonably priced. Our waiter was helpful and offered wonderful suggestions. The manager (owner?) was so kind. He welcomed us to San Diego with a sampler of their desserts. Thank you!

Excellent meal at the Jsix Restaurant that is located in the Hotel Solamar. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, as most hotel restaurants are not a destination point.
