Restaurants near Lake Balboa Park

My gf and I are regulars, they have amazing hosts and servers. Great music, great food, and even better drinks. Get the amaretto sour!

The meal was wonderfully generous, served alongside a delightful variety of salads, and the service was both prompt and genuinely courteous.

The service was outstanding the guy was very attentive very happy I would most definitely do it again.

Being in from Boston for a quick holiday trip, we were pleased this place was open on a Monday for lunch. Valet parking, quick & polite for under $10. Hostess quickly seated our party of 3 in a covered, sunken garden terrace type dining room . Comfy seating but the youngish crowd was pretty noisy. We are older but I didn’t feel over dressed in my black blazer. The room and the attractive crowd would have been a good setting for a Jeff Lewis or Housewives episode. I got an Amalfi Blue ($16) good, tasting, fizzy lunch cocktail that didn’t leave me pulverized. Casa Lena Burger($18) was delicious. My wife got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich ($24) Looked like big portions, and our guest had the Steak sandwich, also big & she brought half home in the restaurant’s distinctive take out bag. Panettone (it’s Christmas time) and Passion fruit sorbet. Perfectly prepared . The attentive service people were professional and striking looking.

Very pricey sushi and they serve one person at a time while the others sit. They need to serve a table as they order. Food is good .
