Searsucker in the Gaslamp

Rating: 3.4

Likes:  The side of the brussel sprouts were very good, I really enjoyed them. I got the crabcake- it was flavorful and fresh with lots of fresh crab, however, it was not the best crab cake I have had and had a slightly weird after taste. Jey and I split the caprese salad which was amazing!!! So good! We also shared the donuts sprinkled with cinnamon sugar for dessert- they were excellent. :))

Drinks: I had the house Chardonnay with my meal and it was very tasty.


Comments: We came here for our anniversary and we had excellent service and they made us a dessert and wrote happy anniversary on it--it was a very sweet touch and perfect way to end the meal!!


Fig Tree Cafe

Rate: 4

Likes: Jey had the stuffed french toast which he says is the best french toast he has ever had. It was stuffed with mascarpone cheese, mangoes and strawberries! It was amazing. I got the smoked salmon bene on their foccacia bread. It was excellent and I would go there again just for that.

Drinks: I had coffee. Really good coffee.

Comments: We went to the location in Hillcrest but there is also one in Pacific Beach. We went on a Saturday morning and there was no line we got a seat right on the terrace :) Go! you won't regret it!

-The shrimp burrito!!!!! I love it! It is filled with huge shrimp that are fresh and perfectly cooked. There is a simple and delicious white sauce and jack cheese. It is simple and the best shrimp burrito!!!! I go here for this burrito regularly and tell anyone who loves shrimp to get it.
-If your are looking for something vegetarian then the tofu breakfast burrito is great.
-I also really like to try their daily specials they have some unique burrito combos.


Drinks:They sell beer here and have yummy horchata.


Comments: This place is a little hole in the wall that is always busy! It is open late night. They have a salsa bar and really good spicy carrots with onions in the bar.

-My bf loves their fish burritos -gets them everytime!

Drinks:The horchata is great and refreshing with their burritos!

-The Pho soup and the Ramen soup. Come in large bowls and are steaming hot filled with tofu and veggies!
-The complimentary salad: it has the best dressing and is a perfect way to start a meal.
-Love the homemade soy milk.:) It has a slight banana taste and is the best soy milk I have ever had.
-Like the veggies with mock chicken and rice. The veggies are so fresh and colorful!


Drinks:Again, the soy milk! Try it!


Comments: You can say how hot you would like your entree served on a scale from 1-10: my bf got a 4 I think and he was sweating so be careful!! I got a zero lol.  They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options here. On top of giving a delicious complimentary salad they also end your meal with a complimentary dessert!! Great Service here and is never disappointing!

-The pho: the broth is amazing and whenever I am feeling sick I go here and get the Pho. It has their own faux ham in the soup which is delicious- also it comes with white fungus flower, amazing taste so weird looking but unique and tasty!!
-The crispy rolls are very good I get those as an appetizer.
-The wonton soup is also very very good with the same broth as the pho but with yummy wontons.

Drinks: I haven't had any of the drinks yet but the vegan cheesecake is to die for!


Comments:This is a Vegan restaurant and one of the best in San Diego. It is a chain and there is also one I have been to in Mira Mesa and in downtown San Francisco. They are all pretty much the same but each one has some menu items the others do not.

-Iced Tea- the have a refreshing homemade iced tea, it is amazing!
-The peanut soup, it is thailand in a bowl. It has a peanut base broth with veggies and comes with rustic bread on the side.


Drinks:Try the homemade iced tea :)


Comments:This is a very small and quiet restaurant. Hanna the chef is there on most days and comes out and say hi to you! It is awesome! The nicest women and a food artist in my opinion. She changes the lunch and dinner menu every week, and I am so excited to go there for dinner. When I was there for breakfast I think it was Brazilian. This is a great place for a date or to bring parents visiting from out of town :) This is a hidden food jem and I encourage anyone who enjoys new and exciting food to go there!
