Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Linda Vista

"No dish says more about Nine-Ten Restaurant than its Jamaican jerk pork belly appetizer. This centerpiece pays homage to Executive Chef Jason Knibb’s Jamaican heritage, albeit in elevated form, and the pairing with baby carrots, swiss chard, plantains, and black-eyed peas with sweet potato purée gives it a California feel. It’s a variation on a theme repeated throughout the menu: flavor combinations that make sense, offered in surprising and refined ways."

"This casually elegant restaurant with indoor seating or sidewalk tables on Prospect Street offers a unique seasonal style of California cuisine dictated by the local harvest. Happy hour is offered Monday – Friday from 3:30 – 6:30 pm and features a ½ priced bar food menu, $5 glasses of red and white wine and $2 off all beers. We recommend the Harissa Grilled Shrimp Toast with avocado and the Lamb Meatballs; both are reasons we’d return again."

"NINE-TEN offers an "Evolving California Cuisine" menu dictated by fresh products discovered during daily excursions to local artisan providers. Go for breakfast, lunch or dinner and sit inside the casually elegant interior or people watch from pet-friendly tables outside on Prospect Street. NINE-TEN has a kids menu for young diners featuring PB&Js, mac and cheese as well as other favorites."

"Visit Bertrand at Mister A’s primarily for the panoramic view of Hillcrest, Midtown, and Downtown. Sip your drink and become one with the city of San Diego. They serve lip-smacking American cuisine with French and Mediterranean influence."

"2550 Fifth Ave 12th floor, San Diego, CA 92103 (619)-239-1377. Mister A’s has a lovely view of the city and the bay view. The view gets even better close to sunset."

"Brothers Family Restaurant, located in decidedly middle-class Allied Gardens, is the type of diner that every neighborhood should be required to have. It's a place that serves up straightforward comfort food - nothing fancy, just good, homestyle stuff. There's nothing fancy about it - people just love it, from seniors to families, everyone is happy."

"We asked members of the popular Facebook group Eating and Drinking San Diego to vote for their favorite Italian restaurants in San Diego. The top vote-getters: Buona Forchetta (South Park), 22; Solare (Liberty Station), Piacere Mio (South Park) and Monello (Little Italy), tied with 16; Bencotto (Little Italy), 11; Lido’s (Lemon Grove), 8. Each tied with seven votes: The Godfather (Kearny Mesa); Civico 1845 (Little Italy); Antica Trattoria (La Mesa); Arrivederci (Hillcrest); Biga (downtown San Diego)."

"Treat your partner to a really special evening and reserve a table at Avant. This upscale eatery opens up onto sweeping views of the lovely green veranda at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. You’ll enjoy an inviting setting defined by creative design."

"AVANT Restaurant at Rancho Bernardo Inn is the Rancho Bernardo suburb, is one of the most elegant restaurants in town - and one of the most famous restaurants in San Diego!"

"For a day spa, San Diego may offer overwhelming choices, but Therapie Day Spa is one of the best. Founded by a licensed massage therapist, Therapie offers memberships that boast free monthly treatments and discounts on new and featured products, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Therapie also holds regular retreats and features local artists in its two California locations."

"Los Peñasquitos (“little cliffs”) is a great beginners’ trail for those who want to enjoy mountain-feel views without having to hire an expedition crew. There are two approaches (east and west), and the trailheads offer a trek of either 6.5, or 5.5 miles, respectively. The terrain is gradual and level, but the trails are surrounded by the sort of views that gave the area its name: scenic rocky outcroppings, and stony formations that ripple with rubble."
