Slowly Restaurant + Bar

Crystal Peralta

Visited for a date night while in town and truly had such a great experience with all of our food. The dishes were priced well, full of flavor and truly had me wishing I had more space to finish my meal. The server was exceptional and so kind to us.

I was shocked at how good this restaurant was for being in PB lol. The food was fantastic, definitely worth it for the price! We went on a Thursday right after work and didn't have any trouble getting a table either.

Had a fabulous time. Wish I had better pictures. Our favorite was the mussels dish.

Beautiful and elegant evening at Slowly in Pacific Beach! Loved the vibe, and all the servers were very friendly and accommodating. The food was great and beautifully presented. We had the tuna crudo, ribeye aguachile, and seabass & clams. We really enjoyed the cocktails the present moment pear lychee and maple old fashioned. We sat on the dog friendly patio. Recommend!

Such a gem! Went for a date night on a Monday. The pasta was great, the old fashioned was incredible, and I loved the bread appetizer platter.

This place is very chic and somehow still warm and welcoming. Highly recommend. I went with my family, they have a kid’s menu. Cocktails were delicious and the menu is varied. I went with the Sea Bass and Clams and did not regret it, but cleaned my plate. Mole mushrooms are next!

Slowly is a new restaurant that just opened in Pacific Beach and is likely to be very popular. The food was really delicious, craft cocktails were creative, seating is cozy and the service was outstanding. I recommend the tuna Crudo, beef skewers and whole branzino. But I suspect everything on the menu is just as good.

I go to the restaurant so much because it is great for special occasions and if I just want to go by myself and meet up with people. I haven't had one dish or drinks that I wasn't very happy with I really think the service is great I think that the food has so much flavor and a lot of thought and Care put into creating it the atmosphere is exactly what I need to de-stress from the world this concept of slow food versus fast food just is so healthy both for my body and for my mind and soul. I highly recommend this for anyone for any occasion that you have or just if you want to go by yourself or with a big group of friends or just the happy hour I mean seriously this is the one stop fits all place. If you want to try a sampling of their stuff for free go on a Thursday night or Sunday night. They offer an aperitivo.

Slowly was a great and relaxing place for dinner with great service. I had the Arrachera and a martini which both exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to come back!

The service here was great, but the food was even better. The poblano/caper/guanciale pasta was truly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. We got the tuna crudo to start, the poblano pasta and the arrachera. Food was great. So excited to go back and try more of the menu! (ps please keep this pasta on your menu forever❤️)

I came here with my daughter on a Tues night and we did the $65 prix fixe dinner for 2. What a value! 2 glasses of champagne, 1 shareable app, 2 entrees and a dessert. We also split a bread with spreads to start. Exceptional ingredients (very fresh) with creative dishes. Service was attentive; it was a great experience. If I had to give a criticism it would be that dishes were served so quickly, one after the other..we could have asked for slower delivery of courses.

Seriously so delicious. Hard to find good sit-down food in PB, but this is IT. I loved their bread spread and tortitas de papa appetizers, salmon dish, and crème brûlée. Service was attentive and sweet from the moment you step in till out.

What a find! Slowly offers a hand-crafted, chef-inspired experience in an environment that is comfortable and polished. Service was great but the house made sauces, bread, gelato and more stole the show. Great value as well.

This is my family's new favorite spot! Hubby is a kiwi and we loved the lamb from a previous trip. Today I ordered a bunch of sides and dessert. Sweet potato puree is to die. Truffle fries are so good. Bread and spread and chocolate cheesecake were heavenly. We left happy with our bellies full! Lilliana was our server and was amazing! We will return! So lucky to have such a great new place in our neck of the woods.

The food was amazing. Whoever the chef was, she was on top of it. I drove all the way from South Dakota and had to have something romantic for the wife. The server was professional and fast. The pappardelle green creamy sauce was fantastic with shrimp perfectly cooked with it to mix with the pig cheeks. I was very impressed with the atmosphere also. The floors and seats were clean. Typically there are crumbs at the table feet and that was not so with Slowly. The staff was welcoming and kind upon entry and exit. The only suggestion being slightly lower volume of the music. Absolutely perfect and a great reprieve from the kids and family after a 23 hour drive. Keep it up whoever the head chef is.

Came in for an early dinner thinking we'd have an app or two.. ended up have an incredibly delicious meal with amazing cocktails. Desserts were fantastic, the interior was adorable, staff was amazing too. Such a cute date night spot and their happy hour and apertivo special is great too.

Fantastic food with standout, one-of-a-kind flavors. The chicken and pappardelle were incredible, and the shrimp appetizer had an absolutely amazing sauce. We ended with the crème brûlée, which was outstanding. Each dish felt intentional and different from the usual,highly recommend

A friend of mine recommended this restaurant and it was fantastic! The atmosphere is comfortable and classy and isn’t as loud as a lot of the other PB restaurants. Food and service were excellent. Will definitely be returning and recommend for a nice dinner out or date night.

Great restaurant in Pacific Beach! The food and drinks are fantastic. Our waitress was super nice, but the food took a bit to come out since we noticed there was only 1 person in the kitchen - I guess they were short staffed. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the whipped feta appetizer and salmon dish. The whipped feta was more of a roasted broccolini dish with just a thin layer of creamy feta on the bottom. We were expecting more of a fluffy dip with broccoli and veggies on the side but it still had amazing flavor. The salmon was decent, but again, more broccolini, and the base was sort of dry. We also ordered the tuna crudo and lamb chops - both delicious. The margarita was incredibly - highly recommend. Everything tasted great. They also offer so many gluten free dishes!! Highly recommend Slowly!!

I am sitting in the restaurant right now and the music is so annoying. We were here last Thursday hoping it would just get better, but the music is too annoying.It’s just a big pounding beat. Everyone around me does not like it. It would be so much better if they would play real music that people know we are not in an Italian disco nightclub. The DJ is great, but if they played real music that people listen to, and not just a pounding beat that gives you a headache, we would come back every week. Please play better music!!!

Enjoyed my time here! It was dead on a Monday night, so the server paid close attention to us. Lilianna(?) was great! The drinks were phenomenal. I'd consider returning for that spicy marg alone (and I'm not a big margarita person). Food was decent. Overpriced for what it was, as is often the case in SD. I hate PB, but I did enjoy my experience at Slowly.
