Restaurant · San Diego, California
Born & Raised
How to book: DAYS (weeks for prime weekend nights / the rooftop) — reserve ahead for dinner; the rooftop bar is a draw of its own. Confirm current hours, dress expectations, and rooftop availability on the official site.
Best meal: Dinner — a dry-aged or Prime steak with the tableside Caesar and a martini, finished with tableside bananas Foster, is the signature experience; the rooftop is the move for a drink first.
Who it’s NOT for: Budget diners — it's a premium steakhouse price point (dry-aged / Prime cuts, tableside service). Anyone wanting a casual, low-key, or quick meal — the whole appeal is the glam supper-club theater. Vegetarians/vegans as the main event — it's a steakhouse first (there are non-steak options, but that's not the reason to come). Families with restless young kids — it's a stylish, adults-leaning room.
