Restaurants near Hillcrest San Diego

It’s a wonderful place and just amazed that we have lived in San Diego for so long, but never been to the Red door. This is not a restaurant for those who mine noise, but we had set up in the bar area and that certainly was better. The beef Wellington, which had been suggested by the chef himself was superb Beth my other three companions. The chef had introduced himself and indicated that he was taking the evening off, and I hesitate to mention anything other than compliments for such a wonderful place. However, I decided to try the chicken dish - like a chicken marsala - and unfortunately, my chicken was overcooked. Because it was my husband’s birthday I did not say anything and only suggest that perhaps it’s better to come on a night when the chef is cooking 🍳 When we go back, absolutely !!

Awesome place! Great service. Excellent food!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Mission Hills. The food is always good and the service is friendly and attentive to all our needs. We took a couple of friends for restaurant week. The prime rib was excellent. It was a generous cut and all the sides were perfect. We all had a great time and agreed the food was great. I highly recommend this place to families, date nights, business dinners or just a quick dinner for two.

This was the third time we have been here. It was Restaurant Week so the 3 course Lobster dinner was an even better price! Delicious and generous portions of Lobster and the other two courses of salad and desert. Great service by our very friendly server. Atmosphere is warm, cozy and has a great Mexican feel. One of our favorite places to go!

I love when you walk into a restaurant and you can smell freshly cooked food the second you enter and that was exactly what happened,, we were met by a really delightful smell of fresh baked danishes and greeted with a big friendly smile. This is a small cozy family run restaurant, so it’s family recipes and pride in every dish they serve. Be prepared for authentic flavors and joyful chit-chat with the owners. If you are staying in San Diego you shouldn't pass up the opportunity to have a meal here. We were treated with such care and kindness, unforgettable food that made us come back 3 out of 5 days. We will be back on our next trip and be spreading the word of our exceptional experience.
