Indigo Grill The food at this restaurant is interesting, different and outstanding. Exciting combinations of ingredients and dishes. One of my favorite dishes is 'Good things Growing' which is a combination of small vegeterian items that are perfection. Presentation of food is over the top. Favorite thing to do is sit up at the counter and watch the chefs in action. Plus, this is the best way to get a seat when the wait is long.

love their sushi! I've had sushi in Okinawa and in Tokyo, Japan. I can honestly say that the sushi offered in the Tea Pavillion compares nicely. They offer a variety of sushi and an outstanding variety of teas. Try their California roll and be sure to take home some the jasmine tea. PROS: Serene setting and outstanding sushi CONS:

Walk and snack on A peaceful setting to stop by after you visit the Japanese Friendship Garden. Go for the mashed potatoes and the rice bowls! Other stuff there is pricey.

mochi ice cream! I love this place. I always stop by for a snack when I am in Balboa park. I get their mochi ice cream. It is the only place I can find the mochi with the doughy ball outside. They are little Japanese delicacies in my opinion. Only 75 cents each, I try each of the 6 flavors. I recommend the mocha, red bean, and mango. They are so good.

Stop in for some tea, and stay for lunch! Whether you're going to take a stroll through the friendship gardens or just a stroll through Balboa Park, step inside the cafe and choose from a variety of delicious green teas - and if you're hungry stay for lunch. The selection of food is considerably less than the beverages, but what they make is pretty tasty.

Best View of San Diego Harbor!! This a lovely way to grab a bite to eat during the afternoon or early evening! The outdoor's restaurant, C-Level, at Island Prime has a fine selection of entrees and drinks. Casual attire is acceptable . "Dress to impress" is Island Prime's signature. Price of a meal is not inexpensive but the view is worth it!

Fine Dining in Little Italy Indigo Grill is another collaboration of the Cohen Restaurant group and Deborah Scott, a clear indication of quality dining in San Diego. The menu is native american/latin fusion based. There is a very extensive selection of margaritas! I highly recommend the vegetarian entree "Good Things Growing".

Indigo Grill: You Gotta Go Incredible! The brie appetizer was good, perhaps i heard too much of how wonderful it was before i went... lots of different flavors infused together....some mole, green chili, bread/crusted brie, and jalenpeno jelly...yum! For dinner i had the cedar planked salmon which was great, wasn't a fan of the purple cheessy pasta served with it. My husband had the best dish of all... bone in ribeye with cheesy spiced mashed potatoes and a corn based tamale which was AWESOME... we mixed up pieces of steak, ... read more

Great View! The view from the restaurant was amazing! It is hard to get reservations on sometimes so I recommend at least two weeks in advance! The baked potatoe and the King Crab legs are amazing! The seafood is a bit pricey but overall I highly recommend!
