Bronze Bird: Elevated Dining and Dessert Oasis in Downtown San Diego

Located inside the Westin Glasslamp Quarter. We were staying at the hotel and stopped in for a late night dessert. Shared Chocolate Chip cookie Ice cream pie and the Dutch apple pie tart. Beautiful evening to sit at outside patio.

This place is inside Westin Hotel and has a separate entrance. I started off with the Asian Street Tacos which is quite good. The marinated tofu carries all the taste, the tortilla is just a placeholder for the tofu. Then, I tried the Watermelon and feta salad - this had walnuts, pecans, cherry tomatoes as well. These added a nice crunch to the salad. Overall, it was a nice experience being here.

I’ve been to Bronze Bird a few times and it’s hit-or-miss. Went for the breakfast buffet one time and had to pick around moldy strawberries. And although it was empty, they seated us in the back corner so the servers never paid any attention to us. I was heartbroken. But I went back last week for dinner and it was excellent.

Bronze Bird at The Westin in downtown San Diego is a great spot for a casual yet elevated meal. The lobster roll was fresh and flavorful, paired with perfectly crispy fries and a great chipotle aioli! The outdoor patio is dog friendly, which makes it a convenient option for pet owners. The wine selection is also great; I chose the Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc, which was a standout. Overall, a solid choice for good food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere for lunch!

Highly recommend this restaurant! There is an amazing variety of food options, it was very tasty! The service was also excellent!

Strong five star experience. Wonderful atmosphere with a fire pit outside. All of our dishes were 5 star. Watermelon feta salad had excellent dressing and glaze, sweet, with great nuts too. Bronze Bird entree was moist and layered with flavors and textures. Frest vegetables in well seasoned accompaniments. Great breading and bun on the hot chicken sandwich. Great burn, but not too much. Baja Alfredo was fun. Chocolate lava cake with black raspberry gelato was outstanding. Castviron chocolate chip cookie also. Very, very good. Juan was delightful. Reasonable prices. Great for all ages. Would recommend to anyone and return.

Was staying at a hotel nearby and decided to try it and was not disappointed. Went on a weekday for dinner and it was pretty empty. Food came out fast and was amazing. And staff was very friendly.
