Went there tonight with my elderly parents after we saw the movie song sung Blue. had the Bloomin Burger with Regular French Fries and a Diet Coke with no Ice. The cute waiter did a great job taking our orders. I turn forty one yrs old next month on the 05th - there's a good chance that I'll be back for my forty first B-day next month on the 05th

I just wanted to take a moment to leave a truly heartfelt review after the amazing experience I had simply calling this restaurant. I have a long list of food allergies, which can make ordering out really stressful, so I called ahead with questions and was transferred to Eli. From the very beginning, Eli was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I never once felt rushed or dismissed. Instead, Eli took the time to carefully listen to my concerns, clearly explain ingredients, and help me thoughtfully identify items that both my friend and I could safely order.
What really impacted me was the genuine care behind the conversation. I could even hear that there was someone else in the room with Eli, helping double-check answers and make sure the information was correct. While I didn’t catch that person’s name, I am deeply grateful to them as well. It was so reassuring to hear a team working together to prioritize customer safety, especially when it comes to food allergies.
So often people with allergies feel like an inconvenience, but that could not have been further from the case here. Eli and the rest of the team made me feel respected, supported, and safe. Because of their knowledge, patience, and kindness, my friend and I were able to confidently enjoy your food instead of worrying the whole time.
Thank you so much to Eli and your entire team for going above and beyond. Your compassion and teamwork truly make a difference, and it does not go unnoticed. I cannot recommend this place enough—especially for anyone navigating food allergies.

Cindy was the best bartender / waitress that we have had in a very long time. She was personable, inviting, friendly and checked in on us regularly! Our drinks were always full and she anticipated what we wanted. She is the example that others should follow. We would most definitely go back if Cindy was there.

This place probably has some of the best service in San Diego. The staff is friendly, professional, and very attentive. I don’t know how they hire, but the servers here are truly excellent. Five stars for service.
The food was good overall. Everything we tried was tasty and well prepared, with no major issues. The only thing that stood out was the Caesar salad, which tasted a bit off. It could have been just my taste, so I won’t judge too harshly. We didn’t complain, but I hope the restaurant keeps an eye on consistency.
Overall, a very good experience, especially because of the outstanding service. I would definitely come back.
