the best in downtown san diego all lump crab cakes east maryland style the best ive had here
The absolute epitome of fine dining! I won't even bother with my menu suggestions because rest assured everything on the menu is utter perfection. My boyfriend and I like to eat, so we liked that the side order portions are HUGE. (We made zucchini and mushroom omelets the next morning with our dinner leftovers!) Our server, an attractive and charismatic young woman, was the perfect server--knowledgeable and completely professional and attentive on a very, very busy Friday night. The one downside was that we had reservations but still had to wait a full hour after our reservation time for our table. No worries though, because I promise you that the wait is 110% worth it.
I had a great dining experience. I started with the famous crab cakes. I am impressed they lived up to all the hype. They are the best crab cakes I ever had in my life. Then I had a couple of fresh Kumamoto oysters. Yum. And for my main course I had the kid dynamite crab/fish dish. Everything was very fresh and presented well. I was also impressed by the portions. Would definitely go again.
