All Jelly, No Toast - Reader's Chime In On San Diego Restaurants That Are All Looks And No Bite

July 22, 2024

We posted the above tweet on our Instagram story and asked our followers which San Diego restaurant comes to mind when thinking about style over substance. Here are their answers. 

"Very tired of restaurants opening up for *aesthetic*/IG photo ops and the food is mid. Not only is it mid, it's expensive and mid. ENOUGH.", reads the tweet by @BrujaBanton. 

So what did SanDiegoVille's Instagram followers have to say during the 24 hours span when this question was live on our story? From the responses, it's clear that many San Diegans share frustration with restaurants that focus more on aesthetics than on delivering delicious, high-quality food. While a visually appealing dining experience can most certainly be enjoyable, it seems that taste and value are paramount to our followers.
