Vistal Bar + Restaurant

Just came here this past weekend for a birthday brunch and it was wonderful! For starters, we were a group of 12 so there were a lot of us to attend to and Alejandro was so quick, efficient and friendly. We were also quite needy with constantly asking for photos or refills and he was very patient and attentive. This was for my mom's birthday and he was so kind in providing a beautiful birthday dessert and making her day extra special. The food and drinks were all amazing! We loved their Bird Across the Bay which is a rum based cocktail that was delicious and it comes in this fun parrot cup! Everyone in our group was super pleased with everything we ordered and with the service. And that view is spectacular! If you don't sit outside, be sure to check out the deck before leaving. Thank you Alejandro and Vistal for a fantastic experience!!

Lots of potential with this place. Views and space are amazing. Cocktails are good too. However service and food could be improved. Our experience was not terrible, but certainly did not live to all the good experiences we had in other places around town. Suggestion is to set proper expectations with this place before going.

Not sure I understand the bad reviews for this place. We had a great experience. We had a late dinner and the food was great. We ordered the guacamole, which was awesome. It does not have tomatoes which is a PLUS for my wife. The beef rib tacos were very good, a bit oily but that's primarily from the shirt ribs. They come with a street corn type side dish which was very good. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The drinks were delicious. When we're back in San Diego, we'll come here again to try out some other things.

Great terrace to get a beautiful view of the San Diego bay area. If you happen to be around sunset it is the best spot in town to watch with a drink in your hand. House chardonnay is a great option as well as any IPA beers offered in the menu.

Definitely liked our visit to this restaurant. It was included as dining while staying at the Intercontinental hotel and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. The service can be slow at times, however the staff seems to be generous.

I certainly can't speak for those who've had bad experiences, but we thought this was a nice place to go to for great lunch! Not busy at all on a holiday weekend, and you can go to it even though you're not a hotel guest! They will validate your parking for three hours, even then parking is only an extra $6/hour after that. Nice patio view on the 3rd floor towards the cruise ship docks. You can kind of see the USS Midway from here as well. Food was awesome. A bit pricy, but what can you do when it's in the InterContinental.

Intercontinental San Diego: A Must-Try Breakfast Spot If you're looking for a beautiful setting and a delicious breakfast to kick off your day, Intercontinental San Diego is the place to go. The views from the restaurant are breathtaking, and the breakfast options are both varied and tasty. You can opt for a buffet, or choose from the a la carte menu, which includes a mouthwatering pan-seared salmon fillet served with orange juice and American coffee. The service is top-notch and the atmosphere is perfect for starting your day on the right foot. Don't miss the opportunity to dine at Intercontinental San Diego - it's a must-try spot for breakfast!

Charcuterie board was fiyahhh Also had a burger but forgot the pic. Cocktails- AMAZED ME. Bartender was knowledgeable and the recommendations were on point. The only reason why not 5 stars is that they allowed a huge party to come in after last call was announced to the existing customers. Hellllllla loud and so killed it for the other patrons.. but i get it. Its a bar… was funny to watch grown adults act like college kids..
