Best Organic Food Restaurants in Little Italy

Always a pleasure to share a table with my husband -- especially on our anniversary -- at Juniper & Ivy! We look for innovative food, and the restaurant scored well on that front. The shared plates were generous and the variety of tastes delightful. We loved being at bar level overlooking the busy room of diners and the open kitchen at work. A bottle of prosecco, great conversation and a complimentary pumpkin cheesecake helped to mark our 42nd year with style. Thank you team J&I!

Clevel is our favorite restaurant. The food is always superb. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The views are fabulous. I usually order the ahi stack which is absolutely fantastic. The ahi is fresh and the crab, avocado and mango augment both its flavor and texture. The sauce has changed from year to year (There was a time when the ahi was seared but if you requested unseared, the chef complied), but the dish remains my favorite. My other favorite is lobster mac and cheese. It is sinfully delicious, and I am one of the people who can easily devour it in one sitting. The times I haven’t (I am a slow eater) I have finished my “doggie bag” as soon as I arrived home! The rest of the menu is also superb; I have tasted most dishes. But these two are my absolute favorites.

Beautiful location. Great service & wonderful food. Great experience.

This was our second visit to By the Sea, on our first visit I decided this was my new favorite restaurant in San Diego, I thought the ambiance, the service and the food were all excellent!! Our second visit was just as wonderful!! Hostess Emma is so charming and an absolute gem at that front desk! Food and service were perfect!!! Well done! Not an easy task in today’s market! Still my favorite new restaurant!!

The food was amazing. The environment is great. You really feel like you are in someone’s home. Great cocktail bar for elevated beverages
