World Famous is a regular for our family and one of our all-time favorites. The setting is superb. The food excellent. And the service was great! Can't wait to get back to San Diego to have breakfast here again!

Absolutely crazy for Cantor! Anthro AI Elon Musk will be the head of. First we had the tomato basil soup, which was just bursting with flavor and followed with the whole roasted Bronzino fish served with a fresh green side salad and small, roasted crispy smashed potatoes . The Bronzino is served with a green goddess sauce, which was just amazing. Loved every bite. Thank you for being consistently delicious! I must also mention that servers were outstanding.

My wife and I had the edemame, the calamari And a California roll. All three were delicious with large portions. We brought half of the calamari and edemame home. The service was excellent-attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommend. We have been numerous times and have never been disappointed.

Wonderful!! Fantastic service and menu! Any seat in the house has a fantastic view with an inviting atmosphere from two tops to larger groups. The seafood fettuccini was amazing and the Amaretto Cheesecake was unforgettable. Would definitely go back next time I’m in town!

We went for breakfast and had a very tasty meal. I had quiche and it was fluffy and flavorful . My husband had a typical breakfast of poached eggs, tots and WW toast. Lovely outdoors and our dog was welcome.

We were celebrating my daughter’s 40th birthday. Everything about our experience, there was outstanding and she loved the music. The ambience she felt comfortable in the place and the food was unbelievable. We had the lamb shank for the two of us with the bread the Parmesan bread everything that we had to eat was fantastic. The service was excellent from Josh. We loved how you could walk around and take pictures in different areas especially the seat underneath the two butterflies..
