Johnston’s menu celebrates local sources, house-made provisions, and traditional preparations, while Kassel’s wine list, as before, is focused on quality and diversity.

Royal India
Address: 329 Market Street, San Diego, CA 92101
Royal India is where to go when you want to dine like kings and queens. The Gaslamp area restaurant serves authentic Northern Indian cuisine in a refreshing, elegant setting. An outdoor patio offers prime views of downtown foot traffic, while inside, the tall ceilings and open space give the feel of a modern palace, complete with regal décor imported from India. Ornate chandeliers cast an elegant glow, while a cascading waterfall offers a backdrop of serenity. The menu is as rich as its surroundings, with flavorful curries, tandoori kababs, and a tempting array of fresh tandoor-baked breads. If you’re unable to make your mind up about the menu, visit during lunch or on Monday evenings, when over 20 dishes are offered in the daily buffet.

House of Blues
Address: 1055 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
Soulful food is as essential as soulful music, and there is no more suitable place for the two to intertwine than the House of Blues. The kitchen’s performance is spot-on, with energetic renditions of soulful classics—gumbo, jambalaya, fried catfish, and meatloaf—intertwined with talented originals such as Oven Roasted Flatbread with prosciutto and parmesan, Mixed Green Salad with blue cheese and pecans, and Wild Mushroom Pasta. By the time you get to the encore—and be sure to save room for that Apple Bread Pudding—you may just find the kitchen’s performance to have outshone the band’s.

The Fleetwood
Address: 639 J Street, San Diego, CA 92101
The Fleetwood sets itself apart from its Downtown neighbors. The modern, versatile space is part restaurant, part nightclub, and part sports lounge, with a menu to suit all occasions. Chef Mark Bolton marries classic comfort food with premium ingredients, offering a menu that runs the gamut from down-home comfort to gourmet elegance— you’ll find fried chicken with mashed potatoes and creamed corn next to grilled filet mignon with chanterelle mushrooms. The large, luxe corner space offers an array of seating options, including communal tables, traditional banquettes, and lounge-style seating for happy hour or late night noshing. With an extensive bar that includes bottle service and a separate sports room that morphs into a posh, late-night lounge, be careful—you may come for dinner and end up staying all night.
