    We made a reservation via the Open Table app before a Padre game. While checking in on time, the hostess told me it would be a 20 minute wait, even though we had a reservation. She then told me they don't take reservations for game days, even though I made on on the open Table app. Eventually, she was able to find us a table. Food and drinks were good, as always. Service was solid.

    Not a bad spot to grab drinks and/or dinner. Can’t beat the location if you’re going to see the Padres

    Even though the bartender was the only person to wait on the entire restaurant he did a great job. Food was yummy and the atmosphere relaxing.

    The food was delicious! The drinks were also delicious! Food is moderately priced, but the drinks are quite expensive! Guacamole was plentiful and very tasty! Our server was extremely helpful and personable! First time at blind and we would come again!
