[The Fleetwood Restaurant
Restaurant Review
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.

Title: | Take a Shot at The Fleetwood |
I visited The Fleetwood for a Valentine's Day dinner after reading some very nice reviews. It was the first time there for me and my girlfriend. We are not unfamiliar with San Diego cuisine and were eagerly anticipating a new adventure in dining. What we got was not a disappointment!
The hostess was very nice and seated us immediately. The tables were well appointed with nice linen and dinnerware. The chairs were more like occaisional chairs that were very comfortable and unique. Our server- and all the staff, were delightful, and very attentive. A sigh of relief came over me as we looked over the special menu for the prix fixe dinner ahead. We ordered cocktails and discussed what we wanted to have for the appetizer. Since this was a prix fixe dinner, the choices were limited, but there was enough to choose from for each of us. I must note here that the wine list seemed a little sparse, but really, I had no problem finding good choices to go with our meal. Also, if you don't see something listed, just ask!
Our server was marvelous at fulfilling our requests from the bar without hesitation. We chose the Ahi Poke and the French Onion soup to start. The soup was rich with onions and very delicious. The Ahi was tender and tasteful. For the main course we chose the Braised Short Ribs & Grilled Salmon. The ribs were boneless and so tender they melted in your mouth. The Salmon was also cooked to perfection. This meal was becoming everything that I had envisioned. Desert was as delicious as the previous courses. The Apple Cobbler was just like grandma used to make, if not better.
During dinner, the circular bar at the center of the space was abuzz with activity. It was obvious that this was a place for lots of people to get together and have a good time. The music was good, not overpowering and an enjoyable part of the evening. To sum it all up, we had a very good dinner at a resonable price and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Take a shot at The Fleetwood. You won't regret it.
