I’ve never dined at anywhere quite like Wormwood. We’ve come to San Diego for years and have loved the dining scene here, but this time we wanted to do something different. Wormwood was a complete and total home run from start to finish. The ambiance was perfect. The vibe was perfect. The service was perfect. The 5-course Celebration meal was perfect. The absinthe flight was perfect. There wasn’t anything over the course of the evening that wasn’t perfect. Here we are almost 24-hours later and our party is still talking about Wormwood. Cheers to our server, Ryan, who was an exceptional guide through the experience and also Chef Omar for putting his culinary vision in the room, on a plate, and in a glass. We can’t wait to return! Love, love, love, Wormwood.

Our Waiter was great, food was great. We dined alfresco. We’ve also visited the Coronado restaurant in the past - so I was glad to return. My only complaint is that the little metal chairs on the patio are uncomfortable. Of course it was less noticeable after a glass of wine and appetizer. 😊
