Front Street Cafe - S San Diego

The food wasn’t as aspected and the service wasn’t good at all super disappointing

Worst service ever. We were basically ignored the whole time. Came here to celebrate by daughters 21st bday and they forgot get drink for over half the meal. Forgot one order and the server literally never came by to check on us. Manager let us sit at the host stand for 10 mins when we arrived no greeting or anything from her. I have to say this is probably one of the worst service experiences of my life. Food was good but nothing can make up for the terrible horrendous service. Sad thing was the table next to us had a different waitress and she was fabulous and they got great service while we sat there ignored and forgotten about.

If you choose to dine here, be aware that if you reserve outdoor seating which was one of the options to choose from, the front desk hostess says it’s not guaranteed but only a request. If this was the case, why have that option to select from? I made this reservation 2 weeks ago so that we can have our out-of-town guests enjoy the outdoor San Diego scenery while having dinner and watching the fireworks. Not only was she unapologetic about it, she didn’t even offer us to wait for outdoor seating. We were put in the corner table furthest away from any sort of ventilation. Really? This was the best that you got? Our party of 6 got up and wanted to leave right away and when we were walking out, we noticed a table outside being cleaned. I quickly told the front hostess to call me when the next outdoor seating was available and good thing I did that or you would have lost our patronage to your restaurant. Who knows if any walk up party would have easily scored that table. Very disappointed in your reservation system!

Always the best 4th of July viewing spot on the San Diego harbor! We shared the Maui Wowie salad,the lobster potstickers and the shrimp and shishito pepper tempura--all absolutely delicious! Zach was our server once again, and he is top notch! This place is always on our list of restaurants we must visit. They take such great care of us!

Service was attentive and friendly. We were seated at an outdoor table with a view of the marina. We ordered the calamari and a sushi roll as appetizers. Both were delicious, although the restaurant should consider increasing the portion of calamari relative to the onions and red bell peppers which seemed to outweigh the calamari. We ordered the rib eye (delicious and perfectly cooked) and scallops (tender and fresh-tasting). We finished off the meal with a pineapple upside down cake with coconut ice cream, which was delicious!
