    Parc Bistro and Brasserie was our choice for our Valentine’s Day celebration. In the forty five years that we have been together, we have had some memorable meals and experiences. Tonight, Parc added to that list. The service was exemplary, professional, friendly, attentive and unobtrusive. The timing and presentation of each course was as it should be , timely but unhurried . The roasted beet salad was superb with the nuanced balance of savory and sweet. Our entrees of Filet mignon, lobster and short ribs were cooked to perfection. The wine pairings heightened our enjoyment. The desserts of fruit tart and chocolate put an exclamation point to a wonderful meal. Parc Bistro and Brasserie created a memorable evening for us. Add it to your list of required fine dining in San Diego.

    We had a fantastic time at Herb & Wood. Since we were both busy on Valentine’s Day, we decided to celebrate on Saturday instead. From the moment we arrived, everyone at the restaurant greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. Our reservation was at 5 PM, so the restaurant wasn’t too crowded yet, but even as it filled up, the level of attentiveness remained exceptional. Our waiter, Troy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. For appetizers, we had the Sicilian Crudo and one of Troy’s suggestions—a warm dinner bread served with butter, honey, and herbs. I don’t remember the exact name, but it was absolutely delicious! For our main courses, my husband had the Iberico Pork, and I had the Roasted Branzino. The Branzino was packed with herbs and flavors—I usually can’t finish a large meal, but I couldn’t stop eating it. We were too full for dessert, though I wish we had saved room! It was our first time at Herb & Wood, but it’s now on our list of favorite restaurants for special occasions.

    Wonderful night. We probably overstay our welcome because we were visiting with our son, but they had open tables and they didn’t bother us about it. The food and service were superb
