A San Diego Restaurant Review Blog

in which the author chronicles her efforts to indulge her foodie inclinations amidst her working-mom-of-a-toddler lifestyle



(with some reviews for with toddlers, others for date night, and others for a delicious solo lunch on the run, plus occasional quick-notes on SD theater!)

Another catchup post: Gaslamp/EV restaurants

Ok, here are my thoughts on some downtown spots:

NEIGHBORHOOD: Oh, how I love thee! Neighborhood is awesome. Very inexpensive, farm-to-table sandwiches and salads, awesome yummy beer, hip and casual, great happy hour too (local SD beers 2-1). Am always happy to have an excuse to go!

TIN FISH: Tried it once, lived up to the Yelp reviews. Yummy fish and chips, very nice location with trolley views.

SULTAN SHWARMA: SabraGirl told me about this place, said it's the best felafel in SD. She is so totally right. Very small and unpretentious - outrageously yummy. Would totally go again. Liked it better than Kebab Shop (though I only tried their Mira Mesa location. It was tasty but nowhere near as good as Sultan Shwarma). Would be very happy to go again when in the neighborhood! They also have nice (but limited sidewalk seating).

CURRANT BRASSERIE: I have only been twice: once when it first opened with the previous chef/French concept, and once recently now that it's an American brasserie. Love the room, love the happy hour, everything I've had there has been scrumptious. Dr. T. went and didn't love it, but he said his friends did, and I just sent a large party and they loved it too. (So maybe try again, Dr. T.!)

Ok, I'm more caught up now!
