Solare
Address: 2820 Roosevelt Road, San Diego, CA 92106
Solare Ristorante and Lounge is down-to-earth and elegant, inspired by an Asian aesthetic and Mediterranean spirit. A meal here can be dramatic or intimate, either amid the spacious and airy indoor and outdoor lounges, outdoor patio, or main dining room, or at one of the unique private tables: the two-person chef’s table overlooking the kitchen, the elegant, 24-seat private room, or the charming glass wine room that houses a single romantic table. Solare’s inventive, contemporary Italian cuisine is thoughtful and engaging, spun from premium ingredients like organic produce, domestic, hormone-free meat, and fresh seafood. Favorites include house-made Butternut Squash Ravioli, Black Truffle Risotto, Domestic Rack of Lamb, and Oven-Roasted Sea Bream. Regulars flock for daily happy hours, live music, weekly specials, and free parking.

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.

The Palm - San Diego
Address: 615 J St, San Diego, CA 92101
While just a few blocks shy of the Gaslamp District in San Diego, The Palm seems worlds apart from other restaurants. For one thing, it is steeped in tradition, as part of the oldest family-owned “white tablecloth” restaurant groups in the country. For another, the service is extraordinary and welcoming, making guests feel as if they are dining in the home of a good friend. Then there’s the menu, with a famous array of USDA Prime Steaks as well as fresh fish and seafood, classic Italian specialties, and oversized family-style sides meant for sharing. Dine here just once and you’re bound to return.

Operacaffe
Address: 835 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
It is the very presence of charismatic Master Chef Roberto Bernardoni and his lovely wife, Chef Patrizia Branchi that sets Caffe Opera apart from the countless “authentic” Italian eateries downtown. The first ingredient in all of Chef Bernadoni’s dishes is his "cuore", his heart and passion for his trade. This is splendidly reflected in the careful presentations, wistful aromas, and creative tastes of their traditional dishes. Allow your taste buds to be transported to Italy by thin crust pizzas, salads, featuring fresh Italian cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, and herby and flavorful pasta and second course dishes. Chef Bernardoni will be delighted if you select any one of his handsome desserts.

Firefly Restaurant and Bar
Address: 1710 W. Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109
Located in the Dana Hotel on San Diego’s beautiful Mission Bay is a restaurant that will likely attract you with its spectacular view, but keep you coming back with its dynamic cuisine. Serving California cuisine on the unbelievable California coast is all too natural for Executive Chef Craig Jimenez. This San Diego native takes pride in his restaurant’s use of seasonal, local ingredients and that pride is evident in every dish he serves. Dishes such as Bulgogi Glazed Ribeye and Pink Peppercorn Scallops can be enjoyed poolside, outdoors or indoors where the view is just as nice.
