Everything about this place blew us away - the food & decor was amazing but the service was exceptional mainly because of our server Roxanne! When we realized that our parking meter was expiring she took it upon herself to actually go outside to feed the meter!!! She was charming & very knowledgable about the menu!

We had such a great experience at STK! The $49 three-course menu is an amazing deal and everything we tried was delicious. The NY strip was tender and flavorful, the maple-rubbed salmon was perfectly cooked, and the lobster mac & cheese was my favorite side. We also loved the Wagyu beef sliders, cheesesteak egg rolls, and shrimp scampi. The desserts were the perfect way to end the meal, especially the warm donuts with dipping sauces. Great atmosphere and beautiful presentation. Definitely recommend!

I chose Rustic Root for a small business dinner due to its menu and reviews and rooftop seating, which unfortunately was closed due to a private event. Despite the fact that we could not sit at our desired location what we got was just terrific - live music, amazing service from Brigette our server and great drinks. Everyone ordered something different at the table and thought their meal was exceptional. I had the fried chicken, which was probably the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. The cornbread and biscuits were shared by all and thoroughly enjoyed. This is a great place to get together with friends and listen to live music and just relax.

What a fantasy to spend last night in San Diego. I always make a point to visit while I’m here. Food is amazing but the people make it superb! I recommend even if your not a vegan to come in and eat great food!

    This was our second time here in 3 weeks after a long hiatus. It was fantastic. First, you really cannot compare their oyster list to anyone as far as options (we are oyster aficionados, trust me). And their service is fantastic (Thank you last night the Jenn!). but we had something new last night - you MUST try. It was a $32 app "halibut cheek" - ok first, appetizer? Maybe for 4 people, or if you get other apps then what between 6!! Second, its lettuce wrap style so you get a giant piece of halibut cheek - so tender you'd think its black cod - with a delicious topping, cilantro, mint, and basil (Thai style), lettuce, bean sprouts, and a delicious sauce. I could eat it once a week. HIGHLY recommend everything.
