Toasted

Great restaurant and amazing bartender. Ivan knows his stuff and is very personable. By far the highlight of my trip.

Ivan is the best bartender in San Diego. Very chill atmosphere. Food is amazing.

Food was great, drinks were great, bartender was knowledgeable. Menu layout was a bit weird but otherwise it was awesome.

The drink Ivan made me was fantastic! Great atmosphere.

Joel and Charlie were a complete blast ! Additionally Joel made me a mezcalita that was not on the menu based on my likes, the drink was absolutely amazing! As a person who grew up drinking mezcal this cocktail was amazing and brought out all the flavors of the mezcal 10/10 recommend

Ivan is the best bartender I’ve had in this area of SD! Always remembers my name and my preferences. Great bartender to chat with. Also their grilled cheese and tomato soup really is something outside of your average meal. I was skeptical before I ordered my first meal. I never was partial to tomato soup but they do something special here. Definitely worth checking out if you want a good experience!

Local and been meaning to stop in! Glad I finally did. Yes, another post about Ivan and his incredible drink making skills and knowledge! My drinks were over the top perfect and I had to get a grilled cheese! Everything was amazing and can't wait to come back.

Honestly, if you want a nice relaxing atmosphere, with solid food, this is the place. Ivan is awesome, he's a knowledge bartender that will make you the best drinks in Gaslamp!

Great atmosphere. Stop in and see Ivan. An authentic Bartender, with a great personality. The bar is positioned in the heart of the Gaslamp District. If you don't stop by you are missing out.

Awesome spot. Visiting San Diego this week and so glad we had a late night snack here. Ivan is amazing and had so much insight. Looking forward to coming back here again on the next visit.

Everything about this place wants me to stay here again. Ivan makes it happen and completely takes care of you! The staff is top notch. Don't hesitate to ask for something, they already know what you want!

Comfortable although small place, the bar has 30% of the available space, the bathroom is in another area, high prices for the product they deliver, it caught my attention that they do not accept cash and when I asked the waiter, I did not understand the reason

I was super excited when I saw the menu. Great variety of sandwiches and product explanation. Waited almost 35 minutes for the food to be unfortunately disappointed by the presentation and overall taste. The Turkey Brie cheese and Granny Smith apple sandwich was assembled very poorly, having a single slice of apple, cheese not spread, and the onions were large and overwhelming. Disassembled the sandwich myself at the bar, spread the cheese, removed half the onions, diced the apple, and spread for even taste. No love from the kitchen staff. The place was clean, and the bartender was very hospitable. He apologized for the long wait time and poor assembly. Final thoughts, BOH kitchen staff needs a revamp and consider implementing sauces or drizzle to elevate the sandwiches. They're almost there. They just need to tighten up a few things.

Poor service, came at 7; cleaning up and ignoring customer, posted closing at ten… 😕 I guess it’s sunday but… Could have been good, the bun was ok and fries maybe if they were hot, but the burger cooked to death despite medium rare and asking for condiments laughed at…

Just don't go here. Walk in any direction and you will find better food, service, and ambiance for a lower price. Despicable!

Not worth coming to this establishment unless you’re looking for rude service and dirty facilities. Coming in during comic con as a local I always try to find new places to add to my rotation and can say this is definitely one to skip. I watched management reprimand a smoker outside on the sidewalk but welcomed homelessness on their premises which seemed very odd. Just don’t go. It’s gross.
