Costa Brava

1653 Garnet Avenue, San Diego, CA 92109 | (858) 273-1218
Costa Brava is a very popular Spanish and Basque tapas bar that is just irresistible! We can't tell you enough about how much we love this little restaurant! It's absolutely gorgeous here, romantic even, so if you're celebrating a wedding or a special anniversary, this just might be the ideal place for that celebratory dinner. The dining area is beautiful, there's a separate bar area for your enjoyment, and there's even a nice private patio. The standout dish, at least as far as we are concerned, is the black ink paella. Truly eye-catching and taste bud-tempting! The spicy potatoes are amazing as well and we also love the garlic shrimp. You will definitely always enjoy a very delicious meal and have a great time here.

Patio on Lamont

4445 Lamont Street, San Diego, CA 92109 | (858) 412-4648
Many people enjoy dining out on quaint patios, and if you want to do just that, this is a lovely choice! Known for it's patio, the Patio on Lamon is a great place, especially for brunch! Brunch is mind blowing here and it's even better when you're seated outdoors. The indoor seating is nice too, but it's on the smaller side. The smoked pork belly benedict is just mind blowing and we can't say enough about the ahi poke on their small plates menu. It's always fun to bring a San Diego Party Bus Service group here and to share a bunch of small plates offerings together. The hours are perhaps the most generous of any place around here, from 9a-12a daily. Wow. There's nothing that we don't love about this place.

Enoteca Adriano

4864 Cass Street, San Diego, CA 92109 | (858) 490-0085
Wow! We sure do like this one! Enoteca Adriano is another amazing Italian restaurant out here in the Pacific Beach area that our guests really enjoy. It's not a big drinking place since they don't have a full bar, but if you're not a fan of cocktails you'll be please to know that they do have a very nice selection of wine and beer. The food is very nice, namely the black linguine is a favorite of ours, but we also like the Chilean bass and we're beyond impressed with the ravioli rossi too. The gnocchi di pollo is another top choice, and how about the burrata and the pope's pillow? Gosh, we just love everything on the menu. Note that they are open 5p-10p, so this is a dinner establishment only. They do offer beautiful outdoor seating that we really think you'll love.

Crushed

967 Garnet Avenue, San Diego, CA 92109 | (858) 230-6567
If you like sensational tapas and small plates type of bars, then you'll like Crushed. Crushed is a great one, and it also doubles as an amazing breakfast and brunch place on the weekends. The white sangria is absolutely amazing and we'd recommend it very highly to you. The beer flights feature a ton of local beers and we just love that! The mimosa flights are also wonderful. One of our top recommendations are the smoky BBQ sliders but for brunch of breakfast we adore the s'mores pancakes! Mm-mmm good! The stinky goat flat bread pizza has an unappealing name but a way-appealing flavor! So good, it's addictive! The cinnamon roll is amazing too. Open 8a-12a every single day.

Cafe Bella Italia

1525 Garnet Avenue, San Diego, CA 92109 | (858) 273-1224
Our final recommendation for the Pacific Beach area is Caffe Bella Italia, an amazing Italian restaurant where you can indulge in some of the most delicious pastas, steaks, and seafood dishes with a date or even with all of your friends when you're out for your most special celebrations. The caprese salad is the perfect starter and we never leave without ordering it, and so is the bruschetta which we also always can't way to eat. Oh, and what about the calamari appetizer? It's too hard to pick an appetizer, so just order them all and share them with your group! All of the pastas are homemade, and we're talking about the highest quality possible. Just amazing. Open daily from 5p-10:30p.
