La Jolla, CA: Vigilucci's Seafood, Steak & Chophouse - "Great service, food, atmosphere"

2009-09-17T21:51:25-07:00

Review of Vigilucci's Seafood, Steak & Chophouse at 909 Prospect St, Ste 290, La Jolla, CA 92037

We tried out Vigilucci’s because it is restaurant week, which is a great time to try expensive places. As is most places in downtown La Jolla, Vigilucci’s is very classy and spacious. We approached our table with the delightful surprise of live music; a nice treat, especially when ...

San Diego, CA: Emerald Chinese Seafood Restaurant - "Expensive chinese food"

2009-08-21T21:57:03-07:00

Review of Emerald Chinese Seafood Restaurant at 3709 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111-3765

by turtley:

I’ve eaten A LOT of chinese food, but not really in the San Diego area. A friend recently took me here, and I was shocked at how pricy everything was; Honey walnut shrimp was $20! The restaurant was quite gigantic and had decent service, but I couldn’t jus...

Review of Tajima Japanese Restaurant at 4681 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111-2330

by turtley:

Tajima’s is always a solid option if you feel like eating on convoy. Theres ramen, rice bowls, and.. okonomiyaki! I haven’t found any other places with okonomiyaki, so I was quite pleased when I first found out about it. The food isn’t overpriced, and the restaurant is open l...

San Diego, CA: Tofu House - "Average Korean food"

2009-08-21T21:45:08-07:00

Review of Tofu House at 4646 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111

by turtley:

Situated in the middle of Convoy, there are a ton of Asian options around here. The restaurant is pretty popular among students, but the food is very average. I got the Meat Party Bowl (something like this) and I thought the meat was pretty poor quality. I tried some tofu and it wasn’t b...

San Diego, CA: Urban Solace - "Upscale food for the soul"

2009-08-21T21:29:42-07:00

Review of Urban Solace at 3823 30th St, San Diego, CA 92104

by turtley:

I had a chance to check this place out at a birthday dinner, since the birthday girl tried it once and absolutely loved the cheese bread appetizer. The first thing to note is that the door was sort of hard to find, since it sort of blended in with the wall. The interior is pretty sleek and hip...

San Diego, CA: Muzita Bistro - "Fun finger foods and atmosphere"

2009-08-21T20:58:11-07:00

Review of Muzita Bistro at 4651 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA

by turtley:

Muzita Abyssinian Bistro is a great Ethiopian/African restaurant on Park (and near Adams Avenue). Just given this location, you can assume that the restaurant is pretty trendy, and it fits the bill. It has cute outdoor seating, a comfortable (not too fancy, but not too relaxing) atmosphere, an...

San Diego, CA: Lolita's Taco Shop - "High quality fast food mexican"

2009-04-04T19:32:40-07:00

Review of Lolita's Taco Shop at 7305 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92111-1101

by turtley:

Now some people might argue that my title is an oxymoron, since fast food is normally not very high quality. Lolita’s layout is similar to many of the mexican fast food places in San Diego (Roberto’s, Sergio’s, etc…), but differs in its quality. Lolita’s has acqui...

San Diego, CA: Phil's BBQ - "Amazing BBQ"

2009-04-04T19:25:43-07:00

Review of Phil's BBQ at 4030 Goldfinch St, San Diego, CA 92103-1821

by turtley:

This is the best bbq in San Diego. The beef ribs are the best I’ve ever had, and VERY filling. They are fatty, meaty, and reminiscent of the dinosaur bones you see in the Flintstones. The porks ribs are equally good. You get a choice of some sides; I would proba...

San Diego, CA: Confidential - "Trendy and fancy atmosphere, good food. "

2009-04-04T19:05:28-07:00

Review of Confidential at 901 4th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

by turtley:

Just one look at Confidential Lounge, and you can tell that it is pretty upscale place, with a crowd consisting of well-dressed post-college graduates to after work professionals. I definitely felt underdressed in flip flops, jeans, and a hoodie (not to mention my bright light blue shirt). For...

La Jolla, CA: Trattoria Acqua - "Shoreside Italian"

2008-11-15T11:57:13-08:00

Review of Trattoria Acqua at 1298 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037-3632

by turtley:

Trattoria Acqua is a top 10 eating destination according to USA Today (as it says on its site). That claim, with the recommendation of a friend too, set the bar of expectation higher than a normal restaurant. We found the atmosphere to be quite classy, which is alway...
