"If I moved to San Diego, this would be my go to for brunch, I know, I know, there are so many great places to eat, but this place offers a comfy feel that is perfect for nursing a hangover or playing with the table next to you kid. I had the shrimp and grits, with a side of sausage, and because I love avocado toast, I just had to try it... every single thing was so yummy. The grits were not instant and the sauce the shrimp was in, had just the right amount of spice, it also was served with eggs, which I’ve always had to ask for a side of in other places. The avocado toast was not paste but chunks of real avocado well seasoned on sourdough with a perfectly pouched egg, and the Louisiana style sausage that I asked for as a side, was spicy just the way I like it. The GM Mario stopped by to say hi and to see if all was well, he’s super cool and teddy bear like (don’t let his size or beard fool you . I love meeting people from the East Coast that made California home, my bartend is from NJ and made a martini type cocktail with turmeric, it was strong, not a get f’d up strong but an, oh this is what I needed strong. All in all just a great vibe, great food, and great drinks..."

The service was unsatisfactory, and the food was even worse. The only highlight of the experience was the Smoky Paloma.

First time and was impressed with everything. Friends recommended and we met before the Eagles concert. Food good and nice selection.

Great atmosphere and solid drinks, even the bathrooms look cool. Love the big, spacious feel; it's like a night club and a fine dining restaurant had a baby.

We visited this place after dinner to enjoy some drinks and were pleasantly surprised by their Tuesday tequila deals, which were fantastic. I really loved the beautifully decorated clay-style mug for my drinks, and the little touches, like the orange peel and flower, made them even more special. The ambiance was also great, creating a relaxing atmosphere. View menu

Lily was our server, and she did an excellent job—friendly, prompt, and informative. We were part of a group dining experience, which had its challenges with getting everyone settled and served, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. We had mixed feelings about the appetizers: the avocado toast, wings, and mac and cheese were definitely the highlights. We were also thrilled to be there on Wednesday for half-priced bottles of wine. It was a great deal! We'll definitely be returning!

The service was swift, but keep in mind we were one of only five tables being served at the time. We took advantage of the half-price drinks, but at full price, they definitely wouldn’t have been worth it. We ordered the happy hour tacos, and again, half price made them a decent deal, but full price for two small tacos isn't justifiable. If you want to try them out without spending too much, I recommend going on Monday nights! On a positive note, the chicken artichoke flatbread was quite tasty!

We celebrated our 20th anniversary here. The hostess greeted us with a “Happy Anniversary” and led us to a table already set for us. The server also acknowledged our special occasion all night long actually which was very nice. We enjoyed the 1/2 price bottle of wine and 1/2 price charcuterie board. Both were excellent choices!!! We had the gnocchi and mushroom pasta dishes both excellent!!!! They then served us a peanut butter ice cream and chocolate cake dessert for our anniversary, compliments of the house. There was a musician playing great tunes who was excellent as well. Great voice, great on instruments. We will definitely eat here again! View menu

Wow so disappointed ! Super nice ambiance and nice outdoor dining however no waiters. We were seated immediately in a nice outdoor table. We then waited for about 15 minutes for a server. Had to go to the indoor bar and complain. About 5 minutes later the bartender had to come out and take our order. Finally drinks arrived after we'd been there at least 30 minutes. Food order took forever, I had to go back to the bar to order a drink because a server never came back to check on us. Burgers were ordered med/well and came out overcooked. Fish in the fish tacos was dry and tough. Our food was delivered with no condiments or silverware, we had to get some from the bar. If you have no server for...

I had the buffalo mac and it was quite enjoyable. The cocktail with cayenne pepper was definitely the highlight of my visit. However, my second drink, a piña colada, was overlooked and took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. I almost gave up on it, but it finally came out just as we were finishing our dinner. In our group of ten, nobody was particularly impressed with their meals, although a few did express dissatisfaction (for me, it wasn’t bad enough to complain at the restaurant). For instance, the ahi tuna tacos were overcooked; it was like they were cooked all the way through! It reminded me of canned tuna. The cheese and meat platter was unremarkable. The cheese was cut into awkward shapes,...

"I adore this restaurant. Golden Hill is filled with many many quality eateries, and Counterpoint anchors the neighborhood with it's fun atmosphere and dedication to quality. They recently renovated and the new space is open, airy and provides a variety of seating options: bar seating, restaurant seating, and upper balcony (I use this as a quiet place to WFH during the week), and an outdoor patio. I'm partial to the biscuit and gravy for breakfast, but the brined chicken and waffles or breakfast hash always makes me smile and sends me unto the world with a better outlook on life and a doggie bag. When it's hot, delicious crunchy salads are on the lunch menu and the craft beers and unique slushy flavors change. Counterpoint takes the quality of food and libations seriously. The craft cocktails rotate as the bartenders are encouraged to explore and grow. The owner and team are always warm, welcoming and make sure you have a good experience. Did I mention they are DOG friendly? Definitely worth the trip up the hill from downtown if you're looking to wind down after an event or precharge and eat before a baseball game. I love to bring my friends for a snack (try the olive selection) and chat on a twilight night. Space heaters outside if you get cold. Fans inside if you get warm. Honestly if you live in or are visiting the 92102 area code you should go to Counterpoint: good food, really good cocktails, and great company. It is clear that this establishment cares about quality, cares about your comfort and loves if you have a good time."
