they're lunch menu is cheap and cheerful and the staff are real nice. go for snacks or sandwiches or icecream but don't go for a dinner. the food is OK-ish but the portions are too small and the price is too high. since me and my son don't eat fast food, this is the place we go for a last minute, cheap bite to eat.

when we called to book a table for the following night we were told they were booked out for the next 6 days. we took this as a good sign and booked for the first available night (wednesday). we arrived 10 mins early and were told there was no reservation made. once my friend had snatched the book from the staff member, she found our reservation for the next night. apologies were made and we were told they would find us a table. the barman had real problems understanding my drink order (half vodka, half coca cola, no ice. how hard is that?) and then under charged us (which we thought was fair coz even after screwing up the reservation and making us wait, we weren't offered a free drink) then chased us outside to ask for the extra pound or so. the decor was rank. looked like it hadn't been cleaned since it was a butchers shop, and the tables and chairs outside were all wobbly. the first chair i sat on was broken and collapsed underneath me. when i told the waiter, he just moved it to another table. it was at this point we left. the menu looked boring and very overpriced. as low as your expectations might be, i garauntee you'll be disappointed.

when i first ate there within a few weeks of opening, i was quite impressed. the food arrived quickly, the staff were friendly and it was tasty. however it was obvious this was because the place was quiet at that time. since then i've gone twice, once under my own steam and then i was dragged there by friends. the staff are crap, rude and rarely get an order right. the food arrives as its ready so i ended up sitting with nothing while everyone else ate. it's too expensive for what you get and i don't like paying restaurant prices when they're going to slam a fat, smelly stranger down right next to me on the bench. the food is ok taste-wise but once you've had it once it's doesn't really draw you back. maybe its just because i like nice, private service but i won't be going back.

i came here years ago when it was in a different part of great western road, but we ate there this week and it was just as good as always. there were 4 of us in the party including my 6 yo son and we all left happy and full which is what you want really! the staff were lovely, the food was great, nice sized portions and the service was quick. it's not exactly fine dining but then it doesnt advertise itself as such. we all had 2 courses and drinks and i was surprised to realise the whole thing only cost us £11 a head. that included a mussel dish and a seafood linguini. definately worth going for a nice cosy wee dinner. big thumbs up from us!

place was fabulous. food was exquisite and the staff were nice enough. plates were cleared from the table quickly (dirty plates left on the table too long is one of my absolute hates in a restaurant) and the courses arrived with just the right amount of time between them. i had the mussel starter and the langoustines for mains. perfect in every way. if you like seafood then forget going to rogano (its really gone downhill in the last few years) and go here.

have been a shopper at grassroots for a few years now and can't express how much i love the place! the selection is vast, the shop itself is like a little slice of olde worlde and the quality is superb. most of the people who shop here are vegan or vegetarian (not me) but thats not what keeps me going back. everything from the veg to the soap is organic and the vast majority is also fair trade. yes, it's more expensive than asda but if you like your food healthy, tasty and not made by employing 3 year olds to work til they drop then this is the place for you. the weekly fruit and veg box is more than enough for my family and lets us try foodstuffs you never see in the supermarkets. plus at £10 a week it's a bargain. a few months ago they started selling organic meat (which meant i didnt have to slog to the country once a month for it) and it is delicious. with regards to the previous reviews concerning the prices, i wouldn't say they were overpriced, but then you get what you pay for! go have a look for yourselves and see what you think.

hi again, just thought i'd let you all know that i have been contacted by 3, yes 3, members of staff from this restaurant! all of them have apologised and told me they felt like crooks working here so there you go. it's so hard to get work in san diego that people will do any job even though they feel like they are robbing the public. i think in britain, we have far more jobs to go round so as a reasonable person i have never worked a job where i have felt this way. but good on you staff of edgewater, at least you had the decency to apologise to me, which is more than i can say for the owner of this fetid, e-coli ridden hole.

    ok as i suspected both my friend and myself saw our meal again that night and there wasn't much difference in taste. the only saving grace was that the waitor was absent. i went back to edgewater grill the next day and spoke to the manageress. she felt i was "hostile". really? i would have thought after a trip to the hospital and 12 hours of throwing up i would have been in a chipper mood! i was told to return in 2 days as "we can't refund cash, head office has to issue a cheque." i gave my name and number and left. 2 days later i returned and was given cash in an envelope. where was the cheque from head office you ask? i didn't care just so long as i never have to set foot in the place again. i did tell the manageress that http://yelp.com  was full of terrible reviews. she said it wasn't. am i hallucinating? i could be but if i am it's from the sickness i got at edgewater grill. adios folks!

    Sorry that this is going to be so long but I feel the need to make sure you all know just how appalling this place is.
    So ,we walk in and a member of staff walks up to us smiling. I ask if we can have a table for 3 outside. The smile vanishes and she says " I don't do that. You need the hostess" and promptly walks away. The hostess then tells us there's a 15 minute wait for outdoor seats and begins to lead us to an indoor table. We stop her and tell her we'll wait for it. Quizical look, then shrug.
    15 mins later we get our table. 2 minutes later i sense someone behind me and discover the dirtiest, most poorly dressed and groomed waiter, leaning on the back of my chair. He says " What do you want?"
    We order and off he schlups. 20 minutes later we get our food. My fried shrimp was probably very nice about 10 minutes before they stopped cooking it but is now shrapnel. As are the fries. My friends "seafood medley" is less of a medley and more of a "solo". 2 clams, 2 shrimp and a piece of unidentifyable white fish does not a medley make!
    The waiter became a little more friendly when he heard me say that I wouldn't be leaving a tip however it was not enough to stop him taking the $50 note for a $43 dollar bill and trying to walk away with the change. He was promptly stopped and I did recieve my change. It has been 4 hours since we ate and i think i may see my meal again before the night is out. Make no mistake i will be returning tomorrow when i'm able to move without feeling like throwing up, and i will be receiving a full refund. The manager will dread a glaswegian accent from this day forth.
    Please folks, be kind to your digestive system and don't eat here.
    Thanks for listening.

always great sevice and always great food. the menu is diverse without being confusing and all the food is fabulous. it has an outdoor heated area for us smokers and the drink is free flowing and doesnt have the "restaurant" price tag attached to it. go, eat, be merry

i don't quite know wheer to start with this place. 4 of us went to dine there. the waitress was sullen and hopeless. the drinks order took nearly 20 minutes and was wrong the first time it was brought to us. on the second attempt the waitress argued we had ordered the wrong drinks and then didnt bring our friends margerita. when it did arrive, it was thrown together and was half covered in table salt. the food was awful. my burger was burned to the point of extinction yet still managed to be cold. my friends bean burger was clearly from the freezer at iceland. the desserts were overpriced and frankly rank. so in short, dont go unless you like to throw away money to ignorant, incompetent staff and eat sub standard fayre.

i'm updating this review coz we've eaten here another few times and it gets better. the food was always good but the staff are worth the extra star. just wanted to say thanks to the hostess who always remembered us as to the manager (Drew) who made time to chat to us almost every time we were there. our waiter tonight was Will and he deserves special thanks. so, us Scottish girls and my little boy are now homeward bound and i hope when we return to san diego next year you guys might remember us. cheers folks!

    we've eaten lunch outside in this place twice now and gone for an afternoon tipple 3 times. the waiting staff are always friendly and the measures are excellent. we've ordered the burgers which were very nice, and the kids pizza was brought to the table for my 6 year old to make himself (which he loved). i don't know what the place is like at night but i have no complaints. reasonably priced, well staffed and decent pub fayre. we have made this place our local while here. not haute cuisine but then it doesn't advertise itself to be.
    does exactly what it says on the tin.
