On our visit to Balboa Park, we were told to try the Prado Restaurant, and it did not disappoint. The setting is beautiful inside and out. It was a little dark in the restaurant at night, but it is spacious and we were not crowded by other tables nearby. The service was great and the menu covered most dining choices.... More

Sometimes, everything works out wonderfully. My wife and I have struck gold two times at The Prado. Firstly, having a scenic view of Balboa Park is a nice start. We were seated immediately. The wait staff is friendly and quick to make recommendations. The food is scrumptious and there is a nice selections of liquid refreshments. The layout of the... More

Nice location and decor but a very busy restaurant. Pisco sour was outstanding but the food wasn't that impressive given the high prices. Service was also very slow.

Happy Hour is great here. Dinner can get pricy. The Calamari is too die for order 2 they are small portions. The Sangria is lovely on a hot day. Make reservations for dinner or you will wait a long time.

We loved this restaurant! The food was unique and flavorful. We had jhidori chicken and seafood paella and both were delicious and well presented. We ate on the patio which was beautiful and relaxing. The servers were attentive, friendly and very well trained. You have to eat here if you go to San Diego!

This is one of San Diego's best restaurants. I was born in and raised in San Diego and it comes no better!! The restaurant is stylishly adorned in an art deco style complete with fiesta ware. The bar is a great place to eat when you are in a rush--you can get full on the appetizers. They make the most... More
