Celebratory night Out or Date Night

My favorite Mediterranean restaurant in all of San Diego. Some of the freshest, most flavorful cuisine I have ever eaten! A beautiful dining experience from start to finish. Reservations book well in advance! They were on the Michelin 'Latest Discoveries' list.
I loved the Japanese kanpachi, aleppo chicken, octopus, duck, and whatever is on their 'seasonal specials' list! The pasta here is to die for as well.

Carbón South Park
@annabelous
Low-key, cozy vibes with high quality, delicious food. The menu skews towards European tapas-ish, with some Latin American flair. I recommend the steak tartare, pork belly sliders, Picanha steak (some of the best I've had)!

ARTIFACT at Mingei
@annabelous
The best part about this spot? It's located in Balboa Park and thus the perfect place for dinner after a day at the zoo or the museums ‼️ The menu is globally inspired, and I absolutely loved the hamachi, the pirogy, and the braised swordfish was to die for (And I usually don't like swordfish!) The desert flower cocktail with prickly pear is delicious! Their patio has more of a vibe.

Wolf In The Woods
@annabelous
A beautiful modern European restaurant that feels like it was plucked off of the streets of Madrid. Dishes are a blend of Mexican and European cultures. Classy wine bar feel!
I recommend the Jamon iberico toast (this is actually amazing), the duck, carne adobada, steak tartare!

Black Radish
@annabelous
Are you looking for a cozy, intimate French bistro?! Black Radish is an incrediblely elegant restaurant in North Park, serving French classics. It is pricey (expect to drop 200-400 dollars) but each dish is executed very well. Definitely for a VERY special occasion. My favorites were the quail with blackberry BBQ sauce, the pork belly with Fresno chilli sauce, and the suck linguini. All the drinks are great!

Ponto Lago
@annabelous
Baja inspired, locally sourced seafood with gorgeous outdoor dining overlooking a golf course at a resort. You must try the seafood cocktail, scallops, any local daily specials!
