- OTSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe are never disappointed at InsideOUT- usually visit for brunch, this was our first time for dinner and it was wonderful! All the employees, no matter their role, are friendly and kind and happy. Restaurant goers were buzzing, walking around in awe - as always with the special installations. The food is so good, even the salad dressing is *chef’s kiss* my boyfriend said he doesn’t even usually enjoy a spring mix but he couldn’t get enough of the market salad. Braised beef special was so tender and full of flavor. (Brunch fav is the smoked salmon scramble with the arugula salad) And I love the mocktails offered here as a nonalcoholic person - although I would love to see more special n/a options during installations. Cheers!! We love you guys, can’t wait for the next event!More infoinsideOUTPrice: Expensive• Californian• Hillcrest•4.7
- MMelanieOrlando / Central Florida East •12 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoStarted with the Pompei Fizz cocktail, it was balanced and refreshing. Apps included the carpaccio and arancini, they were both absolutely delicious! We had the lamb chops and carbonara, highly recommended!! If you leave room for dessert, have the Sformatino di salsa al caramello … divine!!! And worth the 20-25 min wait! Ooh, and try the seasonal espresso martini with it! Buon Appetito!More infoLucreziaPrice: Expensive• Italian• La Jolla•4.3
