Great interior but unfortunately the food and service did not match. Steak and prime rib were good but the waitress mixed up the temperatures and it took so long to get the entrees to arrive that we didn't have time to wait for them to redo them. The waitress was like "oh well" and no adjustment on the check. There were other mediocre things too. Just not a good experience.

Underwhelming. Love the old school atmosphere but the food was really below average. My "smashed waygu burger" was a standard patty, the same I might get anywhere. But little flavor. The fries on the other hand, were over seasoned. My partner had sirloin which he liked. But the accompanying garlic mashed potatoes were salty and pasty. I've been wanting to go for dinner because of good reviews... I'm glad I tried lunch first. Roasted garlic and toast complimentary starter was delicious. I'm really sorry the meal was so disappointing.

One of my favorite San Diego locales, The Butcher Shop is an authentic-style Italian Steakhouse. A living relic with an eclectic staff, awesome decor and fantastic food! The 7oz. Peppercorn Filet is a must try!

Made reservations for a birthday dinner, Service was just ok, it wasn’t very busy, it took a long time just to get a refill on soda. Quality of the food was underwhelming for the price. Scallop pasta had way too much going on, a new menu item I would not recommend.

Outside dining (or takeout) only, but they've done well with the outside space they have available.

Although the food is very "high end", lots of tourists that dress casual. Staff is excellent and makes everyone feel welcome.

Can you publish your menu for Restaurant Week in Sept.? Most of the other restaurants have published theirs. Also, if we don't order the food from the Restaurant Week menu, can we use the Passport Card that week? Thank you.

Call and ask for the Manager Mike. He'll email you what you need.
