We loved everything about Cowboy Star for our first time being there. John was amazing! Staff is outstandingly friendly. We sat by the kitchen bar and it was like having a free show with our meal. Seeing how all the chefs put so much thought into creating every plate was so magical. We will definitely come back again. All the food we ordered was amazing. Bacon is so good!!!!

Moe’s was our first stop on our San Diego trip and let’s just say they did not disappoint. It’s honestly going to be hard to top this experience for the rest of our stay. The cocktails are crafted to perfection. I would recommend the aged New York paired with horseradish cream, Brussels sprouts, and potato puree. The service was phenomenal.
