You can't go wrong -- fantastic views, great food, outstanding service. Checks all the boxes. A top restauraunt, one of the best in San Diego, that makes for a memorable occasion. One note that may be helpful: we went for Jazz brunch on a Saturday, and despite the band playing in the bar, the volume was just right and we could easily hear each other speak.

A terrific dinner with a couple of minor service miscues. The cocktails, oysters, wine, and meals were delicious. On the service side our server was terrific, friendly and very busy. The dozen oysters came without the small plates and small forks which showed up half-way through. The other items was we ordered a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal that wasn’t brought out until we had our food. I still rated our experience as excellent.

The food at Tahona was some of the best I’ve had. Very carefully prepared, creative without being pretentious. Lots of authentic flavors, definitely not your typical Mexican food. They explain about the sourcing of the ingredients, and it was just an awesome experience. (The Pozole was the “hidden gem”, very different from anything I’ve ever had, and it was fantastic.)
