    Great evening at Saint James Diner! Food was excellent, French standards done really well. Had the tapenade crostini and clams to start, very tasty. Then have steak frites (filet was so tender) and risotto was also a hit. Dessert was beignets and crème brûlée- both delicious! Service was friendly and fun. Definitely recommend!!

    We recently dined at Cowboy Star, and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals we have ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. Now, for the steak: phenomenal! I ordered the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and flavorful. You can tell they use top-quality cuts and cook them with precision. We will be back!

    I have been coming here when in San Diego for 24 years, and it never disappoints. You know it’s a good restaurant when the owner greets returning customers with a hug as they arrive. We saw this several times as we ate our dinner. A lot of love goes into their food and service.
