Garibaldi

Jalen was our server and was amazing. She brought us blankets so we could be warm. The oysters were amazing. We also had the tartar and calamari for happy hour and enjoyed it. Would come back here.

This review is for a corporate event my company hosted at Garibaldi Restaurant. Everything was done so well, from the initial contacts to book the space, choose the menus, even sample the wines pre-event. Thank you, Jacqueline and Jerry (amazing wine advice and such fun learning about the options with you). And MJ was the BEST manager for our event... so patient, so accommodating and he foresaw our every need. The food was amazing--we had charcuterie for the appetizer, the starter salad, lamb, the fish, casarreche, and pistachio cake, the service at the Cove was perfect, and even the weather cooperated so we could enjoy the view from the balcony once the event was over. Everyone of our guests was thrilled and given the least opportunity, we will definitely be back. THANK YOU for a marvelous experience! :-)

Thank you to Garibaldi Management and staff for such a great time on April 13, 2024. Our host the beautiful and charming Avery was really helpful, attentive and nice, not pretentious, condescending or aloof like many hostesses are. David was our server and he was so kind, so nice, so on the ball with everything it made our special occasion wonderful. The manager who came by watched our table of 14 his name was MJ and he helped whenever our party needed something when David wasn’t there. We had a bit of a high maintenance table and the two of them and the bussers were excellent. The food was yummy but the kitchen needs to lay off the heavy handed chili flakes. You can always add more chili flakes yourself if you ask for it on the side, but you can’t take it off the food when it’s mixed in so heavily. It overpowers the food when you have that much chili flakes, especially in both the pasta dish and the tuna tartare. The rolls, grandma pie and vegetarian pizza were delicious, with thick but fluffy crust in small bite size pieces. The salads were wonderful fresh and colorful. The charcuterie board was excellent with the chorizo pate. The view is really lovely and they accommodated us to an interior window table when the weather would not allow us to sit in the sofa, balcony seating area. Everyone had a really good time from 4 PM till 6 PM and would definitely come back here in July for another special event. Thank you to the staff of Garibaldi! Keep up the great work, cocktails were excellent as was the desert. They went above and beyond to go to Vistal to get us a chocolate cake when that was not expected and that is what you call “Great service.” Vegetarian options: Please see the menu as it may change by the time you read this, but the salads and other items are vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating with any dietary restrictions. Parking: Parking is free for two hours just get validated Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, but didn’t see any kids more of a speakeasy so please don’t bring kids check first Wheelchair accessibility: Totally wheelchair accessible

Jeff was an absolute GEM! He was attentive, gave such great recommendations, and was so patient with us!

Yummy sunset happy hour, and our server Jalen was so sweet!

Thank you so much David, Mia and Tylor for the friendly service ! And the amazing food! Parking: N/A

Excellent eclectic mix of food. We had their Grandma’s pie with fried prosciutto (just try it), calamari, tuna tartare and their signature happy hour drink. Peter, our server, was fantastic; knowledgeable and made the best suggestions for us to try. We’re only in San Diego for a few days, but we’ll likely be coming back for more.

Server was great

First time to Garibaldi did not disappoint! We were greeted by a friendly host that told us about the restaurant and decor. Jalen was our stellar server and guided us through the menu. Our drinks and food were very tasty. The waterfront views are stellar and they have a great happy hour. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!

A group of 8 friends enjoyed a lovely evening of tasty drinks and food. Happy Hour bites were delicious and a great deal. The entire staff were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Jeff was especially great!
