Yvonne PaoAugust 25, 2016Brunch and happy hour here are great. Pancakes and French toast are always changing, and chilaquiles are good too. I'd get the London Burning cocktail when going to brunch.

San Diego ReaderSeptember 19, 2014"House-cured chorizo, house-made pâté, several types of house-pickled olives. I can only marvel that preserved foods of this quality sprung forth locally. Europe would be impressed." -IA, SD Reader
Conrad & Jenn R.November 8, 2014Food & drink specials for Happy Hour. The Cutting Board is a nice charcuterie of goodies to share. Loved the Nature's Remedy cocktail and the Colorado lamb rack entree.
Connie ChiuMarch 5, 2018Hot chicken biscuits and gravy with egg is the best brunch dish. Didn’t love the pork belly hash—too dry and not fatty enough.

OliverJanuary 3, 2016Bone marrow! And once done, ask server to bring you some bourbon! Because the bone makes an awesome vessel to drink with!! Ask for valerie. Best server there
Kip BartonSeptember 21, 2013London's Burning is an amazing and unique cocktail! I am not a gin person, but the flavor of avocado and jalapeño is intense and good!
D. G.April 4, 2015Whisknladle is a really nice place in a quiet neighborhood. Food here is good. Good for families. Tacos are good but also tacos are good in most places :-)
Tim DengMarch 21, 2018Very nice upscale restaurant. Drinks were great and the bone marrow dish was fantastic.
Brett VenkerMay 13, 2015Hit happy hour from 3-6 daily at the bar in the back. Top class cocktails for 5 bucks. Trust me you won't regret it.
Wanda SOctober 16, 2014Can't go wrong with the mussels... actually, you probably can't go wrong with pretty much anything. Our party of 4 enjoyed everything.
Brunch- we rarely miss a Sunday. Start with a French 75 (not too sweet and perfectly refreshing with bubbles) order the Chilaquiles as your main. You can't go wrong!!!!
Toia CapelliDecember 30, 2014Ethan is the best waiter. The drinks menu is impressive. You can't go wrong with any picks here.
Ashley SwappSeptember 28, 2014They have a fantastic (but messy) burger here. Happy hour is also fun but gets crowded quickly. Great service and atmosphere.
Ana PaulaAugust 22, 2013The flatbread is a must. Food amazing, service excellent. A plus: they work with seasonal products and is sustainable and organic.
Michelle EvensonSeptember 8, 2012The burger was delicious, our server was fantastic and the hostess was a doll. Worth a 45 minute wait? Yes, they made it up to use two times over!
David TerryApril 9, 2013charcuterie , roasted bone marrow and octopus was a perfect dinner. I was v hungry though, normally two of the thee would ha e. wen perfect
Eric HDecember 12, 2013Excellent place all around. Ambiance, food and service all was exceptional. Would highly recommend
StepJune 1, 2014Bone marrow was phenomenal and the scallops were like taking a bite out of a stick of butter. What a great experience

Joey HernandezJuly 3, 2017great "date night" place! the food is always delicious and the cocktails are awesome
The daily flatbreads are excellent, and the charcuterie is the best around; just be sure to get some more toasted bread
get Bone Marrow and a Burger. Put bone marrow on the burger and consume. You won't regret it.
Andy StoneMay 12, 2013Hands down, one of the best meals I've ever had. Try the summer squash and sit outside.
Do not miss the drink list. London's Burning is unique and incredible.
Peggy GartinJuly 19, 2012Small but excellent draft and bottles beer list. @PrettyBeer and @JesterKingBeer FTW!
The Cutting Board is a must-order or artisanal meats and cheeses!
LeeanneJuly 5, 2011Awesome happy hour and service at the bar. Innovative and local food...can't wait to go back.
Great flatbreads. Wine selection is pretty good (go for the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.) Love the variety of the menu.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Jason Knibb, chef of NINE-TEN, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Seasonal sweetbreads. Read more- Get the cutting board! It's full of amazing artisanal cheeses and cured meats.
Heather RAugust 16, 2011Aaron makes amazing drinks. Just ask him to make you something- ANYTHING. You won't be disappointed.

"Great sunset photography location along the boardwalk. Bring your split ND filter or plan on bracketing and arrive early in season to stake your spot before the crowds arrive."
