San Diego Restaurants

The Great Maple (University Heights)

• The beignets are delicious
  
• Mom had a Bloody Mary with an octopus tentacle, Melissa had an original Bloody Mary. Both were good, but spicy.
• We were there on St. Patrick's Day, so had the corned beef hash. Delish. It had brussels sprouts, potatoes, onions, etc.

Costa Brava (Pacific Beach area)

• We were there for happy hour. 
• $8 sangria pitchers
• The papas bravas (fried potatoes with spicy sauce) and sausage sandwich were our favorites.
• We also tried the lamb kabobs, mushrooms, and jamon dumpling things.

Luce

• Hard to get a table, but they always have room at the "shared" tables.
• Delish cocktails
• Good carnitas tacos, bruscetta, and ceviche. 

Barleymash (Gaslamp)

• Good happy hour Old Fashioneds
• Delicious shrimp appetizer

Cafe 21 (Gaslamp)

• They have a Bloody Mary with grilled cheese sandwiches on it!
• They have both sangria and mimosa flights, so you can try 6 different kinds.
• During happy hour, you can get 4 apps for $21. We had:
• Mac and cheese
• Cheese fondue
• Avocado fries
• Poke tuna
• We also had their bread pudding. It was ok, but not great. 
• Overall, this place was cool because we sat outside in downtown San Diego, but the food wasn't the greatest.

Sammy's



• Labneh and Pita Bread - Nothing more to say!
