Vulture

5 Star all the way! The food was awesome, service terrific and the place is beautiful. Our party of three ordered everything on the early bird special and enjoyed it all. The meatball sandwich was a tad bit salty and our fries weren't as warm as I like but it didn't stop us from devouring everything . The rolls were tasty and the butter was full of flavor. The salad was tasty, it did have a bit of vinegar taste as others have said, but we liked it. The crab cake was a hit and we enjoyed both steaks a lot. We also ordered the caviar service and loved it. We had baked Alaska for desert and that was so delicious. For cocktails we had the Old Fashion and Bees Knees. Both were so good we had seconds. With desert we had the Grasshopper and Espresso Martini. We did arrive early and noticed that it got busy quickly. We walked out happy and satisfied.

Vulture is an absolute MUST-TRY in San Diego! We rarely get out for a dinner date, but we decided to treat ourselves to this new vegan fine dining speakeasy, and WOW, it exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere is gorgeous—seriously check out that incredible, moody, and dramatic decor (swipe to see the vibes!). But the food... the food was an experience. We started with the bread and bbq meatballs (so good!) and then the real show began! The highlight of the evening was getting to enjoy a table-side Caesar's salad (a first since our 1st anniversary!) and savoring the vegan Baked Alaska that was torched right in front of us! 🔥 (A taste of our honeymoon cruise, 29 years later!) Extraordinary food, next-level service, and unique mocktails. It was a welcomed break from home cooking and dish duty. If you're in SD, run, don't walk, to Vulture!

Great vegan fine dining! We loved the tableside ceasar. The dressing was made from scratch and very good. We liked temperature caviar service, very unique. We also had the crab cake and the parker house rolls. Highly recommend them both. We can't wait to come back and try more of the entrees. We had the chefs social pasta which was excellent. They have inventive craft cocktails and mocktails as well. The Baked Alaska for dessert exceeded expectations I suggest you go to Dreamboat afterward for a Mai Tai and a Malt. It is a fun way to end the evening. We were impressed by the service. Very professional and a fine dining vibe. We enjoyed the decor and look of the bar. We will be back and highly reccomend this restaurant for vegan and non vegans alike!

Visited a recently opened vegan restaurant in San Diego, owned by the same owner of my favorite spot, Kindred. The place feels like a well-kept secret since the entrance is hidden (you actually enter through the Dreamboat Cafe). Vulture has a great bar and appetizers, though the entree menu is on the shorter side. Here’s what I tried and my thoughts on each dish: Caviar Service – An appetizer with caviar and chips. They did a great job with the caviar—the texture felt just like real caviar—and it was served with a flavorful French onion dip. Cocktail Meatballs – A few meatballs served with apricot BBQ sauce. Simple, but good. Oscar – A very flavorful dish with a Beyond steak fillet and an interesting, tasty sauce. I really enjoyed this one. Diane – A vegan steak that looked incredibly real, even mimicking the pink center of a traditional steak. The texture was spot on too. Overall, it was a really interesting experience at Vulture—great ambiance, attentive service, tasty food, and a fresh new concept. Rating: Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Follow me on insta @theeatingengineer for good restaurant suggestion in San diego!
