"Overall fun, friendly service and creative dishes with good ingredients make it worth another visit. The chicken tinga was very humid and tasteful and the drinks were playful. That means the chips are inconsistent. Some are chewing, stuck together, or too oily, or have not enough salt. The Carnitas were OK, but too dry and needed more Sabor. And the Margaritas, although very creative, were very weak on the Tequila. Also no desserts available, a missed opportunity. That said, we will give him another attempt to see if things are better next time."

The house Margarita was so good that we ordered a second round. Their nachos and portobello taco were amazing. Really quiet place and the servers were super nice.

The food took a while to get and was overwhelming as soon as you got it. It's vegan-based food, so if you like this stuff, that's wonderful. The staff was great to talk and interact with them. But that was not worth

Friends brought me here for the first time and was hesitant being a primarily vegan/GF restaurant but really enjoyed the food. Lots of flavor and left feeling good, too. Service was great and the place has a very cozy vibe.

I changed my reservation from 6 to 8. Was told only available open table was later. We were the only customers when we arrived and two more arrived during our meal. The earlier time would have been more convenient disappointed/ View menu

This is hands down some of the best food I’ve ever eaten!! The drinks were amazing!! Especially the margaritas. Josh, the owner, was informative about the ingredients and helped us navigate. I would highly recommend this restaurant!!

I had two tacos here on Taco Tuesday steak and poblano, and Carnitas. The flavors were good, but only a single soft tortilla is served so that they naturally fall apart while they eat. It takes two! They also do not serve milk in this restaurant and there was a nozzle of Cashew Crema over the steak that was good.

"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."
