    I just moved to San Diego and this was a first for me. The ambiance is impeccable. Everything from the music to the food and drinks was incredible. Our bartender was very attentive and provided us with a list of places to visit while in town. If you’re ever in San Diego, this is a MUST visit place. I’ll be back!

    Great cocktail menu, but not inexpensive. Tapas are excellent, but not a lot of choices. Go here for the drinks and a light bite.

    We really enjoyed our time at Roma Norte. The drinks are extremely complex and well-crafted, not to mention delicious. The food was also spectacular, though some reviews make it clear folks don't realize it's just light bites, nibbles... but really amazing nibbles. They are pricey and the sizes are quite small, but it's definitely delicious. The shrimp cocktail and the tuna tostada were highlights. Their signature cocktails are on the pretty high end, but knowing what goes into them, it doesn't surprise me and it was 100% worth it. Their other "classic cocktails" (espresso martini, old fashioned, etc.) are comparable with other upscale bars in the area. I'd definitely go back and recommend it especially for a date night. The atmosphere is cozy and we loved the banquette seating along the walls. 10/10!

    Truly good drinks, but oddly inattentive service and a huge open door that made for a cold evening inside.

    Came here for drinks and the sultry ambiance and it was just that. For a busy Saturday night service was fairly fast, we did not have a bite but I presume if we did it would of been just as delicious as the drinks we had. Unfortunately I can’t remember the same but the cocktail with the cantaloupe (sigh) gorgeous presentation and refreshing, if your into melon.

    Wow. Without question the most thoughtful and balanced cocktails in San Diego. The ambience is beautiful and intimate, perfect for a date. The warm towel is a delightful touch and speaks to the attention to detail.
