1337 India StBeautiful steakhouse with a rooftop bar. I'd recommend stopping in for a drink. They have a great happy hour menu too. Otherwise drinks run $20 per beverage. The food is great but costly. If you're looking for a great steak dinner, then check out Cowboy Star in the east village. It's also on my list.

Food scene
I'm a foodie (and a wine lover) so these are all of my go-to restaurants close to my Island Container home. But San Diego has so many great neighborhoods and restaurants beyond what's listed here, so you really can't go wrong. Have fun exploring!

Voted the best tacos in SD year over year. Good news is the tacos are worth the hype. Bad news is everyone knows it now. So there's a line to order at the counter. Try to go at off hours and get in without a wait if you can.
