The service I experienced at this restaurant was accommodating and attentive.  My family ate here at 7 pm on a Tuesday night.  Our party of 9 included 2 kids (7 and under) and a vegan.  Although the menu did not include any vegan options, my sister created veggie tacos, and she was impressed with the flavor, presentation, and the staff's willingness to create a made-to-order dish.  The waitress overheard my nephew asking for the blueberries in our sangria, then brought him his own berries in response.  We were extremely pleased with the service.

In terms of food, the group really enjoyed the tuna tartare, sangria, and churros--now let's give an extra moment to salute the churros.  I have eaten churros around the globe, and these are the BEST I've ever had.  They have an ooey-gooey center and the perfect amount of sweetness.  The berry dipping sauces were light and airy.  If I could, I would return here simply for those churros.

There's a group of guys watching and listening to Bob Hope as he stands at the microphone!  You can join the crowd, take a photo with them, and enjoy the recording of Bob Hope's voice!

Just park in a metered stall in the convenient lot and take a stroll towards the water, past the "Embracing Peace" aka "Unconditional Surrender" statue to find this tribute.

Comedian/Actor Bob Hope generously contributed his time and talent to help our military.  This is a cool memorial towards the morale he boosted!

I'm glad that Chel, Wendy, Jules, and I got to see this Landmark together during our one day visit to San Diego on Tuesday, December 20, 2016!  Maybe next time, we can dine at the Fish Market Restaurant which is right next to this tourist attraction...

We came here the other evening around 5:30pm to celebrate a family member's birthday.  The place got super packed in a hurry... the person that planned the party made reservations in advance, so seating was not an issue.  I figured since the place was so packed and had a lively vibe that the pizza had to be good.

I love pizza... it's one of my favorite things to eat.  I've tried pizza all over the San Diego and even in other cities around the United States.  Some of my favorite spots in SD are: Bronx, Luigi's, Lefty's, Woodstock, to name a few.

Several different pizzas were ordered: pepperoni, cheese, and Margherita.  They seemed to pile on a lot of cheese on their pizzas.  The cheese muted out the other ingredients and the sauce isn't very favorful, so all the pizzas tasted overly cheesy and nothing to write home about.  I really wanted to like the pizza, but it was just okay.

A family friend ordered some pasta... she said it was just okay.  She told me that you can find more authentic Italian food at other spots in SD.  She told me Filippi's serves a fair amount of Americanized Italian food.  I'm no expert, but I'll take her word for it because she is part Italian, does a lot of cooking at home (Italian dishes), and dines out quite a bit.

Service was on point and very good.  All the servers that helped our party were attentive and friendly.  Food came out in a timely manner even with how busy it got.  They immediately replaced a salad that wasn't properly prepared after it was pointed out.
