While we didn’t dine at The Prado, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the beautiful surroundings of the garden. The lush greenery, serene atmosphere, and picturesque views of Balboa Park make it an ideal spot to unwind and take in the natural beauty. The architecture of the restaurant itself is stunning, and the outdoor areas are perfect for a peaceful stroll. Even without dining, The Prado’s proximity to the Japanese Friendship Garden and the overall ambiance of the area made for a lovely visit. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the park!

The guacamole was delicious, the shrimp and fish ceviche was just okay. I had a drink from their seasonal Holiday Cheers menu, the Pumpkin Spiced Espresso Martini and it was delicious and was a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays! There were other specialty holiday drinks and they all seemed fun and festive. 😁 Great service and the location is in Balboa Park so you really can't go wrong here. Recommended!

This is one of my favorite places -- right in the middle of scenic Balboa Park, it gives a great glimpse into the beauty of San Diego. The service was good, and the food was amazing. I always sit inside. I really enjoyed their hummus and crackers, and the steak burger I got was awesome.

Ate here for lunch between museums. Not crowded, rapid service, fantastic food, with great views from the outside seating of the surrounding valley. The gluten free fish tacos were great with the server taking the time to document allergies to the kitchen.

Beautiful ambiance. Perfect weather. Umbrellas over tables. Capable of taking care of allergies. Wonderful service. Loved the paella and spicy margarita. Definitely a vacation from life.
