New Restaurants and Bars That Have Opened in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"This gastropub—originally a food truck that grew into the Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands—opened a Fashion Valley location inspired by Tulum, pairing live weekend music with a menu from chef Caesar Huerta that includes Monster Burgers, local-catch ceviche, lobster rolls, chicken wings, and specialty cocktails like a tamarind Painkiller and a Coco Loco margarita." - Candice Woo

Came here for the first time and boy was i glad. Staff from the jump was so nice and helpful. The bartender was very nice giving me recommendations on what to try. I didn’t know they also have specials during the padres games! $1 wings (min of 6) $9 classic burger with a side salad but can upgrade to fries. They also have taco Tuesday specials. I highly recommend you come also the atmosphere is very nice, I’ll definitely come back again. Thank you again to the staff who treated me and my family very nicely.

I purchased a gift card that was advertised on channel 5 San Diego and I thought it would be a good way to celebrate My Friend‘s birthday when we arrived the location in fashion Valley. It was advertised that it was open, but it was closed and there was a person at the counter and or a cook in the back no one acknowledged us so we decided to go across the way use the restroom at the pizza restaurant and then come back yet. It wasn’t open on a second try, so we decided that we would just try again out on another day. I do want to mention that the chef on tv was different on than that of your restaurant, but to be honest, the portion size was minimal With a ton of fries to cover up the portion.

Before watching Materialists, my friends and I had dinner at The Craft House in Fashion Valley. It was my first time there plus with my other friends too, my friends introduced me to it and encouraged me to try the food. I ordered the short rib mini tacos (my friend’s favorite!), guacamole and chips, Caesar salad with grilled chicken breast, fish and chips with parmesan cheese, Brussels sprouts, and charred octopus. Everything was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was chic, with both indoor and outdoor seating. I loved the vibe, and the service was great too, the staff was knowledgeable and knew exactly what we needed. Always a win when you find a place with great food and great service!

Dropped here for a quick bite after the movies and it was way above expectations! Cool vibes (my girlfriend liked the woven lights) with nice house music playlist. Food was amazing, we got shirmp gambas (the bread was so good) and the short-rib mini tacos which were very juicy and flavorful with the salsas on the side. Their Burgeon draft beer was clean and tasty. They also have happy hour for the starters and the draft cocktails as well. They close the kitchen at 10pm but 11:30 for the bar.

Lots of fun gourmet burger choices, just wish we had more people with us to try all the options. The bread and buns were amazing. Especially the “not so basic” burger! They got us seated quickly. It was a cool atmosphere and we enjoyed it.

Worth the visit . We were in for dinner, visiting from out of town and wanted to grab something we can’t get at home . It was pretty dead for a Tuesday so we had the place mostly to ourselves. We were lucky enough to get the sweetest server, Gina, who made us feel very welcome and took the time to walk us through the menu and made suggestions. My daughter ordered the wings , they were great. I ordered one short rib taco which was absolutely perfect, and a Cobb salad. The salad smelled fresh, like the meat just came off the a grill. It tasted just as good as it smelled. Everything was delicious! They treated us to a brownie sundae birthday dessert and we loved it . Highly recommend

Great lunch at Craft House Fashion Valley! We sat on the dog friendly patio which was nice and spacious. We ordered the lobster roll, blackened salmon blt, and chicken blt. All tasted great, the sweet potato and salad sides are also really good. Very friendly server and not too long of a wait for the food. Would recommend, one of the better restaurants at the mall.

We tried multiple dishes and drinks. I really liked the ceviche (a bit spicier but it’s the way I liked it) and coconut cocktail. Their sliders were great. I would come back to try more dishes. Service wise though, it seems like they were not very organized yet. It took a bit longer to get the food and drinks.

If you're looking to watch a sporting event while at the mall, this is your place. We had amazing service and delicious food as well! Smaller restaurant, but worth it for the vibe. Everyone in the group loved their drinks and food, but the ahi poke tostadas were a favorite!

Love their food, with my favorite items being: Truffle fries Grilled octopus Ceviche Ahi tostadas Been here a couple of times here for Sunday brunch too, where they often have live music with an amazing saxophone player JBrown Saxx Cocktails are delicious (especially their old fashioned) as great local beer selection too. Staff is friendly an attentive, if you're not sure what you want ask for a recommendation. The place may be small but it's with checking out, because it makes you forget you're at the mall.

What a cute little spot at the corner of the mall. My friend and I were in the mood for sandwiches and fries so we Yelped the closest spot. So glad we chose Craft House! It was empty during lunchtime on a Friday. We got to sit wherever and the bartender was our server. He was very polite but quiet. We had to flag him down and waited for a bit before we ordered, but I think he was just preoccupied being the only server at the moment. We ordered the Cali Club BLT that comes with a side salad and we ordered a side of sweet potato fries. We were so impressed when the food came out! Great portions.. plenty for sharing. The blt had an amazing artisan sourdough bread.. it was to die for! One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Sweet potato was perfectly salted and fried. Highly recommend! Still can't believe this delicious place is at the mall lol.

We have eaten dinner here three times now and have had excellent food every time. On our most recent visit: My husband had the monster salad, which was surprisingly really delicious with the vingarette dressing and the orange creamy chipotle dressing. The flavors all melded together really well with avocado, cucumber, and fresh corn. If we had added beef, that would have been out of this world! I had the octopus which was grilled well and loved the seasoned potatoes, peppers, and chorizo. My daughter's child serving of mac cheese was creamy and generously portioned, with crispy long fries and side of fruit (berries!) We are impressed with the food. Service was prompt and friendly with a smile from Francisco. On previous visits, we have eaten the fish & chips, burger & fries, and salmon, which were tasty as well. HH is Mon to Fri from 2 to 5; Tacos are $5 on Tuesdays, and Wings are $2 each (min 6 wings per order). Late night specials and weekend brunch are available. It has a bar inside and hightop seating around. Outdoor and indoor seating is available. I am really surprised that this place is not more busy. Perhaps the odd location -- the back side across from Ca Pizza Kitchen and next to Pinkberry's--is a reason why the place does not receive more traffic. We will come back again.

Craft House.. Chef Cesar has a variety of dishes made to hit all the cravings. The burgers are a must try. My personal favorite is the shrooms and truffle burger with added pork belly. Yes, it is as tasty as it sounds. Other great options include the lobster rolls which are filled with a perfect helping of buttery lobster in a perfectly toasted bread. Other great options include: The Salt spring mussels, the short rib, charred octopus, and the steak fritters. All great dishes I've had more than once. The place is hip and modern located in Fashion Valley. Service has always been great.

This is a massive place in the old sports bar style. They have an exceptional list of beers available and good happy hour. The happy hour menu was a little deep fry centric for us, but the food was good. We liked the burger and fries the best. Service was really quick and you can self order at the table, making it very quick.

We had a fantastic experience at Craft House Fashion Valley. We ordered several dishes to share: The Fishermen's Stew, buffalo cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Chicken Cobb salad, and a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious, but the Brussels sprouts absolutely stole the show, crispy, savory, and perfectly balanced with pork belly, roasted pepitas, and bursts of pomegranate. They're a must-try. The Fishermen's Stew was hearty and flavorful, and both salads were fresh and generously portioned. The buffalo cauliflower was a great appetizer, nice heat without being overpowering. Service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. They also have a good beer selection and well-made cocktails. The decor is really nice, stylish and comfortable without feeling too fancy or pretentious. It's the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy great food and drinks. Honestly, I'm not sure why the restaurant was nearly empty when we were there, it deserves to be packed. If you're looking for excellent food in a welcoming atmosphere, Craft House Fashion Valley is absolutely worth a visit.

My hubby and I went to Craft House in Fashion Valley on a Saturday. We made reservations even though the place was fairly empty. 15 minutes later though, the crowds started coming in! The ambiance is super cute and cozy. We would have sat outside in the adorable patio area, but it was windy and cold. They do have heaters however. Our waitress was cordial and recommended some items. I got the short rib poutine and wow! The portion was huge, it was delicious, the beef was tender and I'm just glad my hubby was with me because there was no way I would have finished this on my own! My hubby got the wake & bac'n hamburger, and it was delicious! He upgraded to the parmesan truffle fries, great choice! We left with our tummies full and happy. We will definitely return.

Came here after a movie to celebrate my husband's birthday. Ambiance and decor were beautiful with all the greenery hanging from the walls. My husband ordered the steak frites with a margarita while I got the steak & chimichurri sandwich. We both thought the meat was soft, tender, and tasty. Service was okay, but nothing memorable and the food took awhile to get out. Overall, the bill came out to be $96 with tip so a bit on the higher end especially for 2 people.

We came here over the weekend for SDSU's parents weekend. The service was great they remembered all of our sides and sauces without being reminded. The food was really good we had the Baja fish tacos, steak and fries, brussel sprouts, and Avocado toast with a side of potatoes. I also had the coconut margarita which was yummy.

Came here on Mother's Day and the food and drinks were good, but the food was a bit over priced. $8 for literally a side of 2 pieces of bacon?! I've never seen that before. Customer service by our server Walter could've been better and is the reason why I can't give more stars. The michelada was a lot better than I expected though but beware that the price is listed as $13 on the brunch menu and $12 on the regular menu, which is strange because there's no difference. I'd be back to try other dishes if I'm in the area.

This place was ok. I'm an optimistic person but was bothered by a few things. We sat down quickly. It took awhile to be asked for food or drinks. When they came, food came very slowly. It bothered me that the guest next to us came significantly after us but got their food shortly after we did. They grabbed our plates when we were done but we were hanging out for some time before someone acknowledged we were done and gave us a check. They are a surcharge here too. Food was ok. My friend grabbed the burger. Good burger. Burger does not come with fries and that's an added charge. I got the pork belly sandwich. The bread was too hard for me with the sandwich. Others might like that but seemed like it doesn't mix. Ranch was on point. 5/5. Salad that comes with the meal was good. Fries were good too. Worth the charge but wish it came with the $20+ meal.

Overall, CraftHouse seemed like a decent place to grab a quick bite and beers. They have pretty good happy hour deals as well as discounted pints during Padres games! The beer selection was not as robust as other similar places and unfortunately two of the taps were out (from ~6 total). The food was fine, but was a little pricey. The kids fish and chips met our expectations for bar food and was the best deal with a reasonable portion size. We sat at the bar, unfortunately I didn't catch his name but the bartender provided some of the best service we've had in San Diego.

Came here, after a Rugby MLR final in San Diego, to meet with several fans for a post match after party. We sat in the shaded patio. Ordered cauliflower with sauce on the side, a lavender lemon drop, and full sized beet salad. Everything was very good. I'd order it again. Being that we were a lager group spread out throughout the entire patio we had a blast and the waitstaff exhibited patience with us. Although they were probably silently annoyed with us. Maybe. I hope not though because we did have a great time together here.

Went with my friend for happy hour the house margaritas are really good! It's 25% off appetizers which I think is a good deal as well. The ahi tuna tostadas were delicious , liked that the sauce is on the side so you can add as much as you want. We just wish the fish was a bit colder and not room temperature. The seating outside is great , the inside is nice too a darker ambiance. Service was impecable. Felt that everyone who worked there checked up on us at least once which was really nice. I will say though, opt for the digital menu. The menus were dirty and sticky to the touch.

Been here a few times- Service, food, and drinks have always been good. Nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. Drinks are always fresh and enjoyable. This past time we came for dinner and drinks. Starter- Achiote Chipotle Glazed Wings. 3 stars. Way too saucy, cooked well. Monster Salad- 5 stars. Delicious salad with fresh ingredients. The corn, queso, and vinagrette were amazing. Pork Belly Bahn Mi- 3 stars. The bread was too hard. The pork was delicious though. This is one of the best restaurants in the mall so we will definitely be back when we visit.

This place was pretty good. Stopped by on a whim for happy hour while shopping and wasn't disappointed. We got two beers, guac, fish & chips for around $46 which is a good deal considering we got drinks. Anyway, the food was pretty good. I would've liked to have gotten a burger because they looked DELISH, but the starters were 25% off for the happy hour deal. The fish and chips were really good but not a lot of fish. Our bartender was really friendly and the service was quick. It was a very quick visit, and the inside was decorated cutely. I think I would come back to try a meal but it was pretty expensive for my budget!

Summary: Located inside Fashion Valley shopping center, Craft House is equipped with a great menu selection of elevated bar food and Happy Hour deals perfect for social gatherings. I had the Wakin' Bacon burger and it was stellar. Awesome combination of flavors and everything cooked incredibly well. Drink menu also had a great selection to choose from (context: I mainly chose from the beer menu). Service staff was very nice and accommodating. We even asked for a random slice of cheese for our little one and they were more than happy to provide. Had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

While I was waiting for an Apple appointment, I stopped into the craft house for a beverage. I ordered their Bambucha. It was extremely light and refreshing, with a 6% ABV. A guava, pineapple base that really didn't taste like what you would think. It was just a light refreshing drink, and I would recommend it for those that like kombucha. The atmosphere is relaxing, music is good, for screens at the bar so you can watch your favorite sports inside and outside dining.

Overall: tasty and balanced food, fun menu, cute indoor/outdoor ambiance, and good service with single stall gendered restrooms It's a pretty small place but has high chairs and both indoor and outdoor seating. There was a solid beer list. The wake'n bac'n burger and chimichurri steak sandwich were both incredible. Both had so many flavors that balanced out well and the ingredients were fresh.

Our waiter/ bartender Phil was great. The cook was terrible. We ordered fries which were cold. We sent them back. We were sitting at the bar so we witnessed the cook visibly irritated. He VERY reluctantly heated them up. We asked for extra aoli. Additional charge? No problem. We again watched the cook complain to the servers about our request. He obviously doesn't want to be here. I was a server for over 10 years. We are the guests. If he doesn't like his job then quit. Don't ruin the guests experience. They just won't come back. I asked for his name, but the servers seemed reluctant to tell me. I took a picture of him. He needs to be let go imho. I've worked with cooks like him. He's a cancer to the whole restaurant and guest experience.

The restaurant blends in with the mall.. almost walked past. Small cozy place with outside seating and a small fire pit. Made reservations to be safe. Greeted and seated right away. Our drink and appetizer order was taken right away. Dinner order taken while we waited for appetizer. All the food was great! Burgers were juicy.

Frida and Phil gave us the best service I had the absolute pleasure of dining here recently, and I have to give a huge shoutout to two incredible servers who made the experience unforgettable--Phil and his amazing female colleague (I regret not catching her name, but she was just as phenomenal!). From the moment we sat down, both of them were warm, attentive, and completely on top of everything. Phil was engaging, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel right at home with his friendly energy. His attention to detail and genuine care for our experience were top-tier. Love Melissa and Romero His fellow server was equally impressive--graceful under pressure, super helpful with recommendations, and had such a positive and welcoming attitude. The teamwork between them was seamless. You could tell they truly cared about providing excellent service, and it made all the difference. Thanks to Phil and his wonderful teammate, this meal turned into a memorable night. Restaurants need more people like these two. Can't wait to come back! Let me know if you'd like to tailor it to a specific restaurant or experience!

Happy hour burger from 11-6 PM, what a steal honestly. A rival for best burger in San Diego for sure. A soft brioche bun lightly toasted and buttered with great house sauce and two homemade pickles. The not so basic burger is a classic, simple, bacon, cheese, one buttered lettuce, one tomato, and 1/2 lb patty. The burger isn't the largest burger but it is cooked to a temperature to some extent and it definitely holds together well. Sweet potato fries were basic. The burger only comes with a side salad but you can upgrade it for a fee to get fries or something else! Decent service. Indoor and outdoor seating.

I have to say, the Craft House Mission Valley has some good things going there. I came in for lunch and ordered the pork belly bites, a little gem Caesar salad, and the Blackened Salmon BLT. I started with pork belly bites, and they were certainly a great choice. The pork belly was delicious and tender, not to mention beautifully presented on the plate with mini corn tortillas as the vessels. Loved the pickled onions and sauces that came on the plate. The little gem Caesar was larger than I expected. So, yes, you get the big "salad" here. It was delicious, and I appreciated the fact that I could taste the subtle flavor of anchovies. I loved the large crunchy croutons and the heavy dose of Parmesan cheese. The Blackened Salmon BLT was good. I did wish that the salmon portion was about 2 oz larger and that they would consider blacking it a little more. Other than that, it was a good sandwich. The bacon was outstanding on this BLT. It was thick with a good crispness and had a great chew. Kurt, my server was very cool and an extremely efficient individual. Liz, the bar keeper, and the server as well was very nice and pleasant to chat with. They have a good team here. I look forward to returning.

So good! Can't believe we haven't tried this spot until now. Perhaps the lowkey vibes of being in a shopping center threw us off? The food was excellent and the service was decent. We were surprised there weren't more people inside for a Friday night. We'll definitely be back as parking was easy, food was delicious, prices were reasonable. Easy to eat here if you're keto or pescatarian.

I ate here in December, and when checking out, my card didn't go through, so ran it twice. It still didn't work, so I paid cash, only to find out later both my original transactions went through. I've contacted the owner, Caesar, several times and he assured me would take care of it but has yet to. Shady, dishonest, and the food wasn't even that good.

Craft House is one of our favorites in San Diego! It has interesting and original delicious dishes, such as a short rib poutine that melts in your mouth, or the chipotle mussels! Also has a great selection of craft beer, wines and own coctails. Watch out for the happy hours!

My friends wanted to try this place. I believe they have another location somewhere near Del Mar. They were in their early opening phase. The place was small. Servers were friendly. Music was extremely loud. The food is more of American new gastropub. Pretty rough for early opening phase. Food came at all times. My Not-So-Basic burger didn't come out until everyone finished their food. It was cold and I quickly ate half of it. Now that I think of it, they also messed up on my order because there were mushrooms and arugula on it but the not so basic isn't supposed to have mushrooms and arugula. But the manager came to apologize and comp'd the burger for its very late arrival. Burger only came with a salad, which was good. Salad was good, enjoyed it. Fries are extra charge. My friends also upgraded to a lobster bisque soup but they gave him a tomato soup. Kitchen seems a bit disorganized. Hopefully over time they can get their kitchen running more efficiently and getting orders right and timing.

I absolutely love Craft House! It's one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego! I've been to the Del Mar location, but so happy to see this new location open at the Fashion Valley mall! It's just as good! Both locations are pretty small, but are decorated beautifully. This location offers indoor and outdoor seating, are dog friendly and have live music on the weekends. I'm obsessed with their Coco Loco margarita, I get it every time! My fiancé got the Nautilus Old Fashioned and said it was good too. For starters we ordered the chips & Guac and Brussel Sprouts. I'd say skip the Guac, but definitely get the brussel sprouts - DELICIOUS! For mains we ordered the Charred Octopus and Steak Frites. Both were AMAZING! So flavorful! Highly recommend upgrading to the truffle fries! Don't skip out on dessert, their cheesecake is SO GOOD! The thing that made this location stand out was the amazing service from Maddison, she is the sweetest! Definitely ask for her if she's there. This spot needs to be on your list, you won't be disappointed!

Chose this spot for girls night dinner. We went on a Tuesday night, so no wait time for a party of 6. The ambiance was great, super chic and clean. We each ordered different meals, presentation was GREAT. The angry bunny drink was PHENOMENAL. Best spicy margarita with mezcal that I've had in a long time. The manager was SO nice and took pictures of us. Even changed the lighting on the decor for us. It was a pleasant evening. The only thing I will complain about is that we were mislead on the gratuity. When we received the check (credit card machine), the first thing I saw was an option to add 2%, 5% and 7% tip. Before choosing, I asked the server if the gratuity was included and she said yes, but it's only 15%.. so I went ahead and clicked 5% to give her the full 20 (well deserved in my opinion). However, I did request a printed copy of the receipt and when I looked at the total, I realized she had lied and we actually gave her 25% gratuity. We felt the service was good, but wish they would have been honest about the gratuity being 20% already. I do recommend because the food was delicious- but BEWARE of the tipping when you visit.

Stumbled on this place in Fashion Valley and was very pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is cute and cozy. The food was absolutely delicious. My partner and I had the lobster roll which I definitely recommend. Sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. Our favorite was the Brussels sprouts! Service was very kind and attentive. Will definitely be coming back.

Want to give it 3.75 stars. We tried this spot because a friend of mine was raving about the burgers. Bought two burgers and a fountain drink for $60ish dollars. I don't think we'll come back but glad we tried the spot. Burger presentation was beautiful but we both agreed the burger tasted a bit on the cooled side and nothing too spectacular on the flavors .

Shockingly delicious food. Not just delicious, amazing food. It's a combo of something unique you'd find in North Park with the quality of something you'll find in Del Mar. Even the alcohol + wine and beer list is artisanal and well curated. I got the hipster sandwich, grilled cheese with roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado, garlic aioli on locally toasted sourdough bread. This is the best sandwich I've had in San Diego. It is up there with Wise Ox in North park. The sandwich is HUGE as well, plus comes with a side salad, for $15! That is a steal! I cannot wait to come here and try the burgers. They looked equally scrumptious. The one tiny area of improvement is the service could use a slight uplift. This is probably due to the restaurant being brand spankin new and there was only 1 server but there were only 3 tables. She was sweet and very kind though, you could just tell there was a learning curve. Excellent excellent spot. Highly recommend. You'll have a coma though if you somehow manage to finish the entire plate.

Craft House located in Fashion Valley mall 1st level below the food court area. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. It appears they have a DJ on Saturdays or some form of entertainment. Customer service was amazing and food was ok except for their pork belly app, that was AMAZING! We ordered: pork belly app - AMAZING, order two! cobb salad - delish charred octopus - octopus was cooked to perfection but didn't care for the condiments it came with on the plate steak and chimichurri sando - I ordered medium well and meat came out well done, so it was tough. Bread was extra hard toasted on the outside that hurt the pallet of my mouth. I should have gone with my original choice of steak and frits. It was nothing to write home about and not a fan! I would definitely be back for more pork belly app and try other dishes.

Craft House Fashion Valley offers a great combination of delicious burgers and innovative cocktails. The burger I had was juicy and flavorful, clearly prepared with care. The cocktails were beautifully presented and tasted excellent. Atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at peak hours. Would definitely come back to try more!

Great place to grab something with quick to eat. Drinks were great a little on the high end price wise $16 for a cocktail but at least were good. We just had appetizers on this day the fries. We had esquite corn and some chipotle wings and everything was fine. Staff was friendly and plenty of parking was available at the mall.

Craft House is such a unique restaurant that is perfect for an intimate date night or lunch with friends. Since this is a fairly new restaurant, my boyfriend and I were seated right away on a Sunday night. Our server had an awesome attitude and was super attentive. I was also pleasantly surprised that they had a live musician there. The food was good for what it was. The portions were large, ingredients felt fresh, and presentation was beautiful. If you're a fan of blue cheese, definitely try the blue dream burger with the fries. They are also very generous with their salad portions. The menu is kind of small but from what we ordered we were satisfied with our meal.

MEh. I came here after reading about the reviews and thought, this place is going to be good. I got a table pretty quickly, but took forever for the food to come out. The BBQ was not great. The meat was over cooked and dry, and a lot of fat. The sauce was sub-par. The broccoli was awesome though as it was a little charred. Overall, I would not be back at this place, maybe for drinks in the bar, but not for the food
