great service and good food at reasonable prices
Exceptional service and delicious reasonably priced food
Setting lovely, service excellent, food delicious!!
Friendly, attentive staff, authentic flavors. fresh ingredients. Good and fair prices. Awesome experience.
Slow service, seemed unorganized.....waited awhile for simple order of 2 kids meals, a tortilla soup, and cobb salad.
Great service, great quality food. Irene is GREAT!!
Good food, nice atmosphere, fair prices and excellent service.
very good food but TV was too loud- front of cafe not open so we ate in the bar.
Excellent waiter... very attentive and not intrusive We all enjoyed our entrees and liked the variety offered on the menu!
The location is a lovely surprise. The food is excellent and consistent. The service is amazing. Ask for Tres Leches cake for $4 and be wowed
The Cobb salad is perfect as is the ceviche Don't pass up on the tres leche dessert Service is simply outstanding - Hector is the best!
The service was impeccable the food absolutely delicious and so fresh and the view perfect
Got a great waiter, and helped suggest items. The hollandaise sauce on the benedict was right on being best sauce you can getI I don't eat preservatives in my food any more, so pastry items such as pancakes could taste so much more exquisite without the preservatives which I now find is an aftertaste in most breads & pancakes. Their pancake was absolutely delightful, but I would suggest going preservative free & aluminum free would make food even better than it is now. I was told I am a supertaster, but I really don't think so, I have allergies...
Value was so-so. Food was fine. Music was dreadful!

Very good restaurant for what it is, a moderately priced hotel restaurant. Food is uniformly good and service is superior.
Irene was a wonderful server. She was attentive, courteous and friendly. Was a definite plus for this restaurant.
Steaks were a little too seasoned, but good. Loved the corn muffins

The waiter seemed bored. My cob salad was blah. The monte cristo was good. The place has no atmosphere.
Restaurant was closed because the floors were being polished, but we sat in the lounge and ordered dinner there. It was comfortable, the food was good, the service was good, the happy hour meatballs were very good, there was nice outdoor dining at fire pit tables, very enjoyable.
Servers did a good job even while short-handed on a Friday night!
Service is very good, food is above average for a restaurant of this type.
Great service, Great food. No problem at all using the discount certificate.
Dinner is only served in the bar; the ambiance is not that great and if's loud. The food deserves better than that. Food was delicious.
we sat outside in beautiful weather and lots of greenery. It was so peaceful and food was delicious. Servers were upbeat and friendly.
Good service, good food, ate in the Sports Bar instead of the Café. Happy hour free food is always good here.
We arrived near closing time but Carlos did not make us feel rushed. Great service.
Good food and service. This establishment also features an excellent Happy Hour.
good food, large menu selection, very good service
Free chips and mini corn dogs for Happy Hour. Nightly special was a huge plate of beef stroganoff. The front restaurant is closed but everyone eats and drinks in the bar area. Very comfortable chairs.
The atmosphere was comfortable, relaxing, and appealing.
Main dining closed so we sat in bar dining area. Doors remained open so was very cold but otherwise, the service and food were amazing!! The server recommended the seafood Diavalo which was so tasty!!
Apparently dinner service is served in the lounge. The rest of the restaurant is closed. Service was somewhat slow and incomplete and there was this door to the outside which slammed over and over when people would go through it.
Carlos is an excellent server and I had a delicious Cobb salad with the home made corn muffin .
Great food Great service Nice outdoor setting Pricey Confusion about Cafe being open !!!
We ordered two starters, our soup and salad came out first, waited for starter, canceled it, then ordered just one to try. The meals were not real hot, the fish and meats were dry and tough.
Our server was delightful and the food was excellent. The eggs Benedict are the best of any restaurant we have tried.
Ribeye steaks and vegetables so so, salads good
The service was amazing and the food was delicious! We were so happy we got to try this restaurant and will definitely go back again! I forgot our waitress name but she was awesome and made us feel very welcomed. She always had refills filled before we even had to ask!
We waited an hour to get our two sandwiches. My drink was empty for 50 minutes. I had to get up and ask someone to please bring us water which was never brought to us in the first place.
Service was great, waiter was friendly and caring, plus the food was great.
Really good breakfast & excellent coffee. Great service from Rod.
The breakfast was great. We loved the omelettes and fresh salsa. The cinnamon rolls were delicious.
I love the easy gated parking with free validation, nice places to walk nearby at the harbor, great ambience, food quality and nice service...ALL GREAT!!!
We got there at 2:30pm to find the restaurant was closed. However the gentleman in the restaurant asked us to go to the pool side cafe, same menu! Beautiful setting. Lunch by the pool was a plus!
The number 3 omelette is dee-list!!!
Great food and service
Customer service was amazing.
Good Service, food is very good, portions are generous. Happy Hour here is worth the drive. You could make a meal out of the offerings. Drink prices are reasonable.
Serve slow
Cesar was nice
Great food, great service, but it is pricey. I think it is oriented toward business, travel, and Navy customers as it is close to hotels and across from a Navy facility. Irma gave great service, mgr Mario very friendly. Just be prepared to pay.
Fresh delicious breakfast and lunch...GREAT service and generous portions at a fair price!!!
Great food and service!
Good food and service, nice happy hour lay out.
Great service ! Huge portions for breakfast ! A very pleasant experience !
food was hot, well prepared and seasoned and presentation was great. The coffee refill was a little slow in coming but they got busy and our waiter did apologize for that.
The waitress was very attentive and helpful in our selections and recommendations.
Large helpings. Very clean. Close to San Diego airport. Super nice waiter, . We split some meals and he already had them split on separate plates when brought out.
Staff was superior as was the food, even when we walked in about 30 min before they were closing for the day. Our server was fantastic and can't say enough good things about how well he took care of us.
The food is served in the bar area. It is a comfortable setting, with a view of the outside patio area, where an event was taking place. The rib eye steak was very disappointing. It was about 1/4-1/2 inch thick and very fatty, smothered in a creamed peppercorn sauce. Not very tasty or appealing.
A little pricey but everything was good.
food always better than average, reasonably priced, quick to be delivered... but the service is the BEST... sweet friendly helpful waitress made the whole experience
Good food, nice and friendly service.After 1pm dine in the bar area. Nice and families welcome.
Servers were very pleasant and helpful. Food was fresh and very good.
Our food was served cold and not very tasty. The service was mediocre.
This was our first dining experience at Point Loma Cafe. The food was great and there were plenty options to select off the menu. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was attentive and friendly. When our food was served, it was exactly what we ordered (zero mistakes) and tasted delicious. I would go back again.
Great food, and quick and friendly service.
The service was horrible and very disorganized
Everything was great except being charged for soda water.
Great food and great service.
Clean, comfortable, friendly and very good food with ample portions served hot.

The waitress being trained does not receive tips. another name was on bill and he took the tip.

Had trouble accessing certificate. But they honored it anyway! Awesome
The restaurant itself was already closed, but the bar was open until 11pm. They also serve the full menu from the restaurant side, the only difference is that you can also order alcoholic beverages such as beers or wines. Anyway, my wife and I went for dinner and the food was amazing and the service was top notch. We were served by Tony and this guy's amazing personality and positive energy made the whole experience a very worth it one. Thanks so much! Jaime Ojeda
our server was in training and was very good and provided good service.
Awesome service
Really good food, nice atmosphere, and great service. Really nice dining experience, glad to have found this place, and look forward to going again.
Mediocre service and food
It was extremely slow because they said they had a lot of hotel guest orders,but there were only 3 tables inside waiting for a long time.
Always excellent food, polite staff, leisurely dining, very responsive management.
Service was excellent, the food was amazing the spaghetti fantastic and the ribeye so tender and flavorful. Burgers were huge. we are never disappointed
Excellent food, excellent service!
Service and food was excellent
crab cakes and tilapia are absolutely fantastic here.
Tiffanie was a very good server. The bus boys were also very attentive, no waiting for anything. Food was great! Wine was 1/2 off, even better!!
Great food, atmosphere and service.
We all ordered something different from the menu and all meals were plated excellent and the taste was excellent.
would have rated it a 5 but had to wait a long time for food due to a large party in the room
This was an enjoyable quick meal.
Everything was exceptional....service, taste, quality, presentation. Love their ranch dressing. We both had beef and they were excellent. Sauces excellent also.
Friendly service, hot food delivered to your table, nice pleasant ambiance.
The halibut special was very tasty and pleasant.
loved the homemade 1000 island dressing. food is big portions. great waitress
The reason we tried this restaurant is it was on Restaurant.com. We would have missed a great dining experience which is always excellent and inexpensive. The food and service is consistently great and there is no looking down on you for using the discount.
Neat and clean restarant, right size menu, well prepared food at fair prices. Friendly wait staff.
Very happy to see how clean and bright the restaurant was. the food was excellent and huge portions. Loved the homemade 1000 island dressing. loved the breakfast burrito, and the blt Awesome bacon!
The restaurant was closed so we had to eat in the bar.

Good food, good people!
Our server was wonderful, the food was amazing and the drinks top notch! We will be back again.
Fish was a little dry.
Waited at least 1 hour for our food on a Thur night at 7pm.
We enjoyed our first dining experience here. Good food, drink and service. Pleasant atmosphere and conveniently located on Harbor Drive.
Pleasant, even cheery service + Good food + Festive yet laid back, ambiance = A very enjoyable evening (we had dinner at the adjoined Backside Bar).
Food was very well prepared and tasty.
Very proffessional, explained the menu and answered all questions
The food is not as tasty as it used to be, and the portions are smaller. The prices have gone up. The service is inattentive.
The service was very slow. The coffee was awful. Our server was good, not great. He never came over to ask if we needed anything.
