Dined here for the first time and Michael was our server. He was absolutely incredible! He knew every single detail of the entire menu and made our experience absolutely perfect. The Hunnya roll and bang bang shrimp were so delicious. We will 100% be back.

This was our second time dining at Books & Records. The first time was on a busier week night and with the close tables and live music it had a liveliness to it but not super conducive for quiet conversation. This time we visited on a Sunday evening and it was quiet and we had great table conversation. Both times our food was excellent (we love the brussel sprouts and the chicken bao buns). This time we also got the tuna crudo and it was delicious. Service is attentive and our server was kind.

Excellent bar and food menu and very good service. The cocktails were great. Pork belly, salads, scallops, and branzino all excellent. Our waiter, Michael, was phenomenal.

Great food and prices- love the Pizookie deals! Noise level is very high and harder for older people but food selection is good for all ages.

This is an absolutely charming restaurant in a historic building from the 1800’s. The ambiance is refined yet warm and welcoming. Beautiful interior design elements. Creative cocktail menu and curated CA-focused wine list. Wonderful menu, organic and locally-sourced, in-house pastry chef. Salmon was delicious, the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever encountered. The attentive wait staff and mixologist were a joy to engage with.

Beautiful November morning in Coronado do had breakfast at an outdoor table and service and food were great. Enjoyed the guava-pineapple mimosa and the egg white turkey omelet. Busy place so reservations are recommended!

Three Three Seven is my favorite dining experience, not only in San Diego, but possibly of all time. The thought and concern that chef Jay and his team take to curate an incredible meal is truly unforgettable. Every dish is somehow both fresh and new but nostalgic at the same time. I’ve been twice so far and will continue to be a dedicated guest forever!

We frequent this restaurant and simply love it! We were guests at their pre opening night and loved everything about it. We have been regulars ever since. The food is consistent, the service great and I like their selection of beers. A little different and makes a change from so many places who offer much of the staples. We feel their appetizer, the Brussel Sprouts is by far the best in town. We typically have this as a starter if we can, and their portion is generous and crispy! We highly recommend trying this place. You will not be disappointed.
