Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Mission Valley

Attentive service w/o being too much. Fun and modern ambiance w/ some touches of warmth - like the fireplace :). Unique menu items and flavors that work together is #1 reason we go. San Diego has some good restaurants but... most restaurants serve the same food as each other - just w/ their twist. I say "So what"? That's boring and I can make most of that food at home for much less and at least equally as good. Herb & Wood has a menu that stands out and the flavors work so well together no matter what we order. Not inexpensive by any means but not taking-advantage-of-you pricing either. High quality, well prepared, and thoughtful menu items with a true connection to "flavor town"! Eggplant, Branzino, Apple/Fig Salad, Hamachi, Date Cake... all winners. It's a special occasion restaurant mostly but I see it as a regular go-to when I crave food that stands out!

The team there as always provided outstanding service. Very welcoming, attentive and so fun. Unfortunately the food was a little underwhelming (my chicken was dry and my friends’ side dish was cold). However, the holiday decorations were so fun and festive. Had a great evening celebrating my friend’s birthday!

Fantastic steakhouse with real gourmet twist and superb service! Went for my honey’s 50th and they couldn’t have treated us better. Steak was delicious & perfectly cooked, wine list is excellent & they were great about accommodating food allergies. Thank you Lisa & team - We will go back again & again!

Dined on a Thursday, early dinner. Quiet with a great ambiance. Sat at the bar. Service was on point. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Great Happy Hour. Skirt Steak shareable was so fire we had to order it twice. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

It was AMAZING from START to FINISH!!! It's a great little restaurant, tucked away in some nice, new apartment complex in Mission Valley. HOWEVER, it is on the side, and has its own parking. WE FOUND PARKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT!!! We were warmly greeted by a friendly woman, and taken to a nice, large table!!! It was perfect because we were going to order lots of food. I especially knew about the pizza, After sitting down, our waitress, HUNTER, who was superb in every sense of the word, came up to the table. She began with drink orders, then appetizers and entrees!!! She recommended the pizza be extra crispy, AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! As for my partner, he had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich!!! When it came time for the dessert, HUNTER even brought it out with a CANDLE on it!!! It could not have been a better lunch!!!!
