Restaurants near Ocean Beach Community Park

Four of us celebrated my husband's birthday with a surprise dinner at Cesarina. It was definitely worth the schlep out to Ocean Beach from downtown, because everything was amazing. Beginning with the service, we were greeted and made to feel welcome. The restaurant was packed (reservations are highly recommended), and we were seated in a cozy spot on the patio. Our server explained the menu and some options and recommendations, which was helpful. We ordered starters including the soup de jour, an octopus dish and a salad and all were delicious, and abundant. We followed that with each of us trying a different main including the ravioli, lasagna, a seafood pasta and a meatball dish ..... all were five stars, however the ravioli seemed to come out on top. Their pastas are made fresh daily in house and it makes such a difference. So tasty and cooked just right. We finished with deserts including ice creams and canoelis, all perfectly sized to finish off the evening. They served the hubby a special dessert with a candle and then took a photo of the table celebration. All-in-all, it was a perfect choice and we will be back. Cesarina is a Bib Gourmand restaurant with the Michelin folk, but I think they are close to a star.

Great food, ambiance and service with Kevin. It was a beautiful night outside under the heaters. Ceasar salad, flautas and calamari were all perfect. The Pineapple Tamarind cocktail was fabulous!

C-Level is my favorite restaurant in San Diego. I take friends there to celebrate birthdays. The mud pie is amazing for a celebration. The wait staff are friendly, professional and always there to refill your water glass. the view of San Diego cannot be beat!!

We had no Reservation, on our way to a “Gulls Hockey Game at the Arena”…. Popped in and Bam, Greated by lovely’s and seated promptly! Ordered Drinks and our Menu was Explained Throughly!! Graham the Bartender is Outstanding, my Lady J asked for something Crazy…. He made it Perfectly , Omg saved my ? We ordered the Fettuccine Al Ragu in Bianco (the Best) ++We are Fans of CESARINA there Sister Restuarant…. Pasta at Both are Amazing ! We’re kinda leaning towards ELIVERA cause of “Graham”

We went on a day the OB Farmers Market was going on and I'm glad we did. This establishment is very small and doesn't have room for many eat in customers. That said, our server was great in spite of the fact that she was the server and cook- basically running the place by herself. There were a couple of other customers but she handled everything with grace and aplomb. The pizzas we ordered were very tasty and we took advantage of the 50% off a couple bottles of wine and were happy with the selections. All in all we were very happy with our dinner. The only fly in the ointment was the presence of a lot of house flies- no doubt due to the propped open front door. They came in for the food too apparently. Despite that we will be going back as we liked the food and server/cook.
