El Agave is the best authentic Mexican restaurant in San Diego. I've been here about a dozen times and always have a great experience. I like to explore the menu and try different items. One of my favorite is the Nopales salad. Healthy, fresh and deliciious. On this visit, I paired that with Duck Burrito. Glad I tried the duck - it was fab!

Our service was exceptional! I believe our server’s name was Alexa and she was super friendly. She definitely is the reason we will come back! This was our first time trying Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern and I am always on the lookout for new dining experiences. Our food was delicious and it was also nice that we were served quickly because we had a young, hungry child in our party. Thank you for an awesome dinner, but most of all, thank you for a level of service that surpassed expectations.

It's a tradition that we go to Eddie V's every year to celebrate our anniversary. The food and view were both incredible and Andy, our wonderful server, made it extra special for us. I can't recommend Eddie V's enough.

    We flew into San Diego for the day celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday. I made reservations a few weeks in advance requesting an outdoor harbor view table. They set us at a great location to celebrate. The food and service were over the top and outstanding. Thank you to our server for your kindness you showed us. We had such a wonderful time. Bart
