Best coffee shop in PB. It's a cool old beach cottage converted into a charming coffee shop with indoor seating and outdoor in a garden setting. They make every kind of coffee imaginable with Cafe Moto grinds and they have a healthy breackfast and lunch menu. The can get super busy and be understaffed so it can take a while to get service but free wi-fi makes up for it.

Costumers unappreciated
I was sitting in a quiet sunny nook of the cafe for about 45 mins, reading and drinking my coffee, when the owner of the the cafe came over to tell me to move so she could squeeze 8 people around the table I was sitting at. In exchange I could take the groups previous table in the middle of the chaos by the entry way. So moral of the story, unless you have a large group your service is not...
Excellent Service, Excellent Food, Excellent Atmosphere and the best MOJITOS in town!!!!

First timer, not impressed with the service!
So I waited in the bar area for 2 other friends, I sipped on a pretty good lychee martini and watched a cool movie. My friends roll in and I had to wait for about 10 min. for a 7pm reservation I made. no biggy I thought I finish my martini and be happy. When sitted we sat next to the mens bathroom, there was a sheer curtain separation fromthe toliet to the dining area. but still...watching men...
This place lives up tot he hype, and it is totally worth the wait. The coffee and the pancakes are my top picks. Don't forget about the downtown location. It is in a great spot, on j and 13th.
Baci is an amazing restaurant. The staff is incredibly friendly, Italian, heavily accented, dressed in tuxcedos and more than willing to take as much time as needed to give you a great dining experience. The decor is nice, classy in an old school way and there is plenty of seating. The vibe is mellow and happy, far from stuffy. The food is amazing. Maybe the best Italian I've had in San Diego....
A simple urban space with an organic kitchen and thoughtful presentation, quiet enough in dining section for conversation and lively bar in back. This is our new neighborhood favorite having just moved to Banker's Hill. The food is awesome, especially the beef, interesting wine and beer selctions, too.

Bad customer service at Modus
Restaurant has good food, but the customer service is not good--we were asked to leave after two hours because we were told the table was reserved for that time. ...
This place rocks. Great food. Super cool surfer hangout with all kinds of boards on the walls and ceilings, enough to make a surfer drool. The have killer carne asada and fish tacos as well as the traditional mexican restaurant menu.
<b> Overall:</b> cant say enough good things about this place. excellent sushi, low price. my wife and i can be completely stuffed for 13.00. that is a real bargain in today's food market. the actual restaurant is tiny, and it is always extremely crowded, but it is worth the wait. and we just get it to go most times<br /><br /><b>Value:</b> everything is actually, almost, cheap. but the...
They changed their menu and prices! I used to go here a lot for average sushi at really cheap prices. Now it's just average sushi at average prices. This place lost it's appeal for me. Still has the same long lines and hectic atmosphere.
I had lunch at Cafe Athena and it was delicious!! I'm pretty new to Greek food, so I ordered the Grecian Feast - a popular feast of Dolmathakia, Bourekia, Moussaka and Gyros, served with Tzatziki sauce, rice pilaf and Briami. Our server, who was very sweet and honest in her recommendations (a rare trait), warned that it was a lot of food, but I ate ALL of it! SOOO GOOOD!!! I usually stick...
The food was too greasy and had too much sauce in all dishes from salad to main dish. My husband and I ordered some appetizers, a salad, a pasta and an entree. ...
This place is perfect for a quick bite or fun (and cheap) night out, starting out with a great slice of pizza. The atmosphere of this pizza joint is definitely ecclectic filled with old-school surf-style decor, perfect for the beach community. <br />
<br />
The employees are super-friendly and you can tell that they don't mind going to work everyday. There's always random music being...
<b> Overall:</b> All in all, a great place to enjoy breakfast...<br /><br /><b>Value:</b> Prices are very cheap! And the portions are huge!<br /><br /><b>Service:</b> You wait in line to order and then take a seat and they bring out your food. They don't give you a number or anything, so it amazes me that they can remember who ordered what...especially since seating is all over the place!...
I recently moved to San Diego from San Francisco and was unsure of where to find a good sushi spot. I found Ono Sushi and absolutely love it! I highly recommend this place.... the food was fresh and resonable priced, the bar serves an array of martinis and their Flirtini is to die for and the lighting is perfect. I hate and avoid restaurants with bad lighting.... this is a great spot!
Rubios is one of the best Mexican food chains in the San Diego area. Their food is really authentic and delicous as well as being well priced. You get a lot for your money here. Everything is delicious but I have to say the fish taco's are my favorite and that is what they are most famous for.
This restaurant is such a one-of-a-kind experience. There is no other place to experience fabulous fondue, great people, and a lost-for-words ambiance. Their cheese fondue is my favorite (I usually get cheddar or traditional). Then their mushroom salad is next. I, personally, am a HUGE fan of mushrooms and this salad consists of 75% of them. Can't go wrong with that! Then it's time for...
So I went to Viva Pasta over the weekend and it was awesome! The restaurant is super welcoming and for being a order at the counter-type spot, it's really nice! <br />

You pretty much build your own meal - which is perfect for picky eaters and those who like to pile on the toppings! :) I had the penne with pesto and sausage, spinach, broccoli, eggplant, mushrooms and onions and it...
