    Seating next to the koi pond was the best. Appetizer never showed up. I knew that was happening when the table next to us, who ordered well after we did got our appetizer and we didn't. Thankful it was not on our bill. Mistakes happen.

    Great atmosphere, professional and friendly service. I went after work on a business trip as a solo woman diner and the bartender made sure that I was comfortable and taken care of, but wasn't intrusive. The beer was excellent and the food that I had and that I saw others ordering was/looked delicious.

    First time here. Great food, drink, and staff. Loud inside but that's part of the atmosphere. Very nice outdoor area. Plenty of parking. Can't say enough about the friendly bar staff. Wish I could go back but I live out of state. Perfectly cooked steak dinner. Great selection of craft brews.

    I came to this Brewery with lower expectations on the food. Brilliantly, I was proven wrong. The food was amazing. I had the brussel sprouts, the Beer Brat Double Smashburger, and the Food Truck Burger. Everything tasted amazing and the Ambiance and atmosphere was awesome. Ruby was very friendly and attentive. By the way that hard Cherry Cola, drinks like a soda

    We originally ordered takeout but decided to dine in instead, and the team couldn’t have been more accommodating! The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they take real pride in their service and creating a welcoming atmosphere. The vibe was relaxed and serene, thanks to the beautiful Koi Pond and greenery landscaping. We left feeling completely satisfied and grateful for such a positive experience. Huge thank you to the Sorrento Valley team for turning a simple takeout order into an unexpectedly wonderful dine-in afternoon. Highly recommend this location for both food and service!
