Best Chicken Marsala I’ve ever had!

Dobson's 8 oz. filet steak is soft top prime cut, on par with Ruth Chris. Decor similar to Indianapolis St. Elmo Steakhouse a lot of dark wood paneling. Service attentive. A bit less formal more like a bar environment resembling narrow NY restaurant. Duck breast tasty and moist. Tiramisu smooth texture. House cabernet the same, not bitter/tart. White Russian bar drink potent. Hit all the marks for a 2 bill dinner for two. Has upstairs seating with balcony overlooking lower bar. You need reservations unless maybe you might elbow up to the bar counter. Mixed green salad as expected plus ordered really good and crusty crunchy sourdough and sooo soft bread inside. Would visit again.

I am extremely satisfied with all the help Mrs. lilian wilson, She have a good understanding of all the processes and are always receptive to my needs. The platform was very helpful. I strongly recommend this wonderful manager of mine, she perform a great work and strategy on my investment, and now I'm earning profits every week just because of Mrs. lilian wilson effort and trust, thank you madam for this opportunity of investing with your platform I'm so much grateful, You can also contact her at Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: +12485090477

This old charming bar and restaurant has excellent food, service and atmosphere. We don’t even drink, love everything here. The legendary mussel bisque with puffed pastry top is out of this world! Must try! It’s creamy and yummy! Their appetizers are the best. Shrimp ajillo (Spanish spice) with mushrooms is delicious. Got the bread, dipped in and ate the whole thing! They have great sourdough bread too. We are from San Francisco, we know sourdough bread. They serve it hot too, that’s the way to do it. Crab cake is simple and good. Salad with tomatoes, blue cheese and walnuts, simply perfect! PS: Next door “Tapas and beer” is great too!

Overall good experience. Muscle bisque is fire. It’s pretty much the only reason I go here. I ordered chicken Marsala that was so over salted I almost sent it back. Service was okay. We went during a busy dinner hour but we had to wait almost entire meal for the server to remember to bring bread. Really nice guy and very professional.

We went for restaurant week. The salad and salmon were amazing, and the vegetables were sooo delicious. The waiter was very nice and knowledgeable. We were able to eat outside and it was a very nice experience. Great food, friends and weather.

Great little restaurant, comfortable, friendly environment with good food options especially the mussel bisque!

A classic old Sann Diego restaurant. it deserves to continue operating just based on its storied history. food and drink is good too

Lovely old place with charme and beautiful food and service!!

I was in San Diego for 3 nights, and chose 3 restaurants for dinner before hand. This one was my favorite by far. Live jazz music, incredible food, great service. Thank you to the entire team at Dobson's! I will absolutely recommend dinner here to anyone visiting (or living in) San Diego.
