"I absolutely love this restaurant. The first time we went was last year and it has continued to get better. The food was AMAZING and everything was so hot and served to perfection.
I highly recommend this restaurant to not only visitors but also locals."

"We were really looking forward to trying the food we had heard so much about at this restaurant and we were extremely disappointed. We ordered the scallop and pork belly caramel appetizer, the flank steak, the halibut, the jalapeno-chorizo "corn off the cob", and the fennel, fingerling, and yolk. The scallop and pork belly appetizer was delicious, but $14 for 1 scallop?? Service was amazing and they brought us a free dessert since it was our anniversary, but the food needs to take it up several notches."

"Everything was great! The music is very loud and makes it difficult for conversation that includes the whole table. Maybe increase volume after 7:30. I was there at 5:30 thinking more restaurant than"club", with food. Everyone loved their food, and thought the place looked great. The service was great too."

"Lots of real pretty people to look at - good for Girls Night Out. My biggest complaint would be the menu itself - although creative - food items had very unique names and even the descriptions were difficult to understand. We were not really sure what we were truly ordering. Had to ask server lots of questions about menu even the specialty drink menu. The food we did order was good and came out very quickly."

"The eclectic menu was fun. We had several appetizers to get started including mussels and short ribs. They did not disappoint. The Pate was melt in your mouth yum. We shared the Flank steak with chimichurri which he NAILED. We ended the night with the kings dessert. It was the best dessert I have had in a long time. I will definitely be coming back. Thanx Chef JoJo"

"My wife and I decided to try Sear Sucker for the first time expecting an amazing meal. The atmosphere and service was great. However, the food was not good at all. The steak dinner was not cooked to order, tasted different, and as if a child cooked it. The chicken dinner had a nice texture but the sauce was not tasty."

"Came here after recommendation from friend. Service was turtle slow with courses served half an hour apart. Server was clueless about wine list and no sommelier to be found. Appetizers lacked creativity, entrees bland (hanger steak and duck), sides over salted and greasy. Would not return."

"If you want a ear-deafening, rushed experience this is a place for you. The food was probably pretty good but how could enjoy it with so much noise and commotion. At these prices--and the are high--I want to be able to relax and savor my dinner. I don't recommend this restaurant for people who enjoy food."

"Happy with the service, wait staff was great.
The restaurant was packed, had a reservation for 9pm, we show'd up at 830, and didn't get seated until 920.
Place was packed, we waited at the bar, hostess said she couldn't find us, not sure they tried.
Food was good, really enjoyed the small plates, but main course was Luke warm at best, kind of disappointing, thus the low rating.
I would go back for the small plates, but would stay away on Friday and Saturday nights."

"Atmosphere is lively and definitly the "happening place". The server was wonderful. The hostess started off the night with all negatives and no smile. The bartender was worse. VERY unfriendly and set a negative tone. We are glad that we stayed, but after the bartenders attitude, we almost left."

"From a couple of foodies, the food at Searsucker was very good, but didn't blow us away. My wife's Halibut came with a interesting black lobster sauce, but was otherwise a nice piece of fish over a few ramps. At 41$, it seemed a bit pricy for what you got. I ordered the hanger steak which I had to send back after it came medium well to well done, after I had ordered it medium. However they did it right the second time and it was pretty tastey, just not "WOW"
Service was fantastic . The noise level was pretty high and the crowd young, but it was the Gaslamp district on a Fri night."

"I loved the energetic, yet business friendly atmosphere of Searsucker. I was there for a business dinner and wanted to impress my clients. Our table ordered many dishes and shared everything. We especially loved the Tomahawk ribeye, shrimp & grit, scallops, mussels- wine was good too. We had a Banshee Pinot Noir, Siete Fincas Malbec, and Sav Blanc (can't remember name). Definitely recommend Searsucker for business dinners and the ambiance is full of eye candy."

"The food at Searsucker was very good with alot of flavor. The waiter was also good. My problem with the restaurant is that it appears to be completely full of itself and pretentious. I also found the menu to be annoying (with its words in quotes), misleading and confusing. Lastly, and the most offensively, we were charged $2.00 per drink for ordering them on the rocks. I have never been to a restaurant that charges for ice. Completely obnoxious! The waiter overheard us making fun of this and tried to explain that the add'l charge was for a larger pour when ordered on rocks..but we had also been commenting on how weak of a pour it was! Not buying it. The waiter didn't even seem to believe his own excuse."

"What a great restaurant! We loved the cheddar biscuits that are complimentary. The grits that come with the shrimp and grits is so good, you want to eat a bowl of it. Everything is tasty and not pretenious. Our server was excellent. He was informative and answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. The busboys were great too.
One of the hostesses was a little ditzy but was very nice."

"The appetizers, side dishes, and drinks were great. Our service was great. However, we ordered the flat iron steak based upon our waitress' recommendation, and it was just ok; not very tender and not much flavor.
The place is kind of loud, but it doesn't bother me. However, if you're looking for a quiet evening, then this isn't the place."

"Always love to stop at Searsucker when in San Diego. The mussels were amazing, I could have dipped myself in the broth! Peter Rabbit is hands down my favorite drink ever. We ordered family style and split a few small plates and 2 entrees between 4 people, definitely the way to approach the menu to get a taste of different things. We had the filet and the halibut - both divine. Don't miss the Texas Caviar! Spicy Shrimp thumbs up as well. See you next time we are in town!"

"great service. Food was incredible, flavors were built complexly upon each other yet not fusy. Just enough menu items and portions perfect.very cool vibe with good music, yet we could hear each other with no issues. our waiter has worked for the chef for 8 years which I liked to hear. try the tuna starter with tissue-thin chips - amazing"

"I thougth the food was OK. I was expecting more, however. I think that with the food being a little out of the ordinary, having the sides paired would have been nice. I felt the flavors were muddled. However, our waiter did advise but I still think I would have liked to have my dinner paired with appropriate sides. My dinner was ok. Drinks were very nice. Appetizers were very good."

"I was not impress with the food at all, infact disappointed. Order the marrow, had hardly no morrow plus no taste. The presutto salad was another disappointment. The raspberry jam was sour and had no taste and the cheese didn't make it any better. The duck was good and tasty."

"Interesting cocktails. Bartender was very flexible making something special for me. A couple of the special cocktails were a little too esoteric for my dining partner and me, but the ones we had were delicious. A tad expensive, unfortunately. Lively street scene, and other than the REALLY LOUD fire truck, was a lot of fun and not too noisy. Our appetizers were very good--chicken a bit dry, though. Flat iron steak delicious and perfectly cooked. Wonderfully prepared rhubarb in the dessert. Outstanding service!"

"I've been there a few times and the food never fails to impress - and the service is always outstanding - but this time the noise in the restaurant was overwhelming - literally screaming at each other across the table to have a conversation - lost my voice - so next time will ask for outdoor table."

"Searsucker is a trendy hot spot with interesting well prepared food, an enticing cocktail menu, and very happening scene. It is also extremely NOISY which makes it less than ideal for conversation. The chef has a preference for bacon and pork oriented products i all kinds of food where one might not ordinarily expect them. My clients and I had a great time, but my ears were happy to leave, and my throuat was sore from shouting across the table to be heard. The decibal level is extremly high1"
