So it's been a long time since my girlfriend and I found ourselves in the SD area with time to kill.. Usually we're running around being busy and every subsequent SD trip since our first La Mesa Bistro visit didn't yield us enough time to hit this place up again.. Well we found ourselves back down in SD and with an afternoon to spare too! We were staying about 20 minutes away but we sure as hell didn't let that stop us.. We drove straight from LA to La Mesa and indulged our palates with some oh so delicious breakfast treats.. I had myself a healthy breakfast burrito (with chicken instead of chorizo) and she had herself a salmon scramble (same as last time).. It's safe to say that we both walk away happy, full and satisfied again..

I usually don't write review updates but this place definitely deserved another 5-star rating!

    Normally I'm not much of a breakfast person.. Coming from my particular household, breakfast was usually leftovers from dinner the night before, so I've never placed much emphasis on breakfast foods as a genre themselves.. But this place opened my eyes to a world I was ignoring..

    WOW.. If I only had but one word to describe the dishes here, that would be it.. Hands down, I had one of (if not THE) best breakfast I've EVER had here.. My girlfriend and I randomly found this place on my trusty Yelp app and we're so thankful we did..

    She had the Salmon Eggs Benedict while I partook in a simple Chicken Breakfast Burrito.. I wouldn't want to waste the surprise of what's inside these dishes by going over the ingredients because I would want each and every one of you to make the trek out to La Mesa and be blown away like I was.. The place itself was nice and simple with excellent service too.. Talk about the whole package..

    Just be sure to look for it because it's seemingly hidden away in the corner of some small plaza.. Trust me, it's worth the search..

My girlfriend and I have made it a point to come here the past two years after she performed across the street at the theatre.. Here you'll get HUGE portions that are freshly prepared and made with quality ingredients at fair prices.. Sure, it's not some fancy restaurant where you'll get 1st-class table service but who cares?! You can stand at a register, get your own drinks and napkins can't you?!

The Gyro melt, salad and plate are definite notables here.. Enjoy!

A beautiful, smaller sized venue that I've had the pleasure of performing and watching shows at over the years.. The interior is gorgeous and definitely oozes with class.. It's not gigantic but any means but the spacious seating is designed in such a way that there is not one bad seat in the house.. If you ever have a chance to catch a show here or perform onstage, walk around and really appreciate the design and architecture both inside and out..

Oh and free parking is ALWAYS EXCELLENT..

Great outdoor mall with lots of high end shops and regular ones for the rest of common folk! It's undergoing some construction right now and of course it'll always be packed on the weekends but if you're ever in the area, this place is worth a visit.. Nothing beats shopping outdoors in the beautiful, sunny San Diego weather..

Not a bad happy hour menu.. It's limited in selection but the prices of what's on there are decent.. My personal favorites are the Vegas Roll and calamari tempura plate.. And what night wouldn't be complete without sake bombs?? Just remember, don't order a second before happy hour begins or the regular prices will gouge your wallet!

Also, the service that my table got was really excellent.. I know people lament over the service at hip, trendy places like RA but this experience was definitely top notch..

Three visits here and three happy, relaxed results because of Happy Feet..

The signature massage package is well worth the price and if you can take the vigorous style that most asian places have in regards to technique, this place is for you.. It's quiet, clean and friendly.. Just be sure to call and make an appointment because you don't want to get stuck in the lobby waiting for a spot to open up..

And some of the masseues don't speak English all that well, so be mindful of the potential communication barriers.. Just go with it and you'll be taken care of :)

Seriously though, make sure you confirm an appointment.. I almost had a terrible experience here when I first visited.. There was a whole mix-up and I had to wait and well I don't want to talk about it.. Just confirm

Another nice little local find that proved to be a surprise..

So my girlfriend and I went here with the expectation of ordering from a different menu.. You see, this place was apparently under different management before and I guess they fairly recently changed..

My girlfriend had a katsu-egg donburi rice bowl and I had the katsu curry meal.. It's safe to say that we were both pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and price as well!

We both walked away satisfied and wanting for a return visit.. I'm hoping the other items on the menu are just as delicious!

If anything, I with the menu displayed more variety in Japanese food.. It's a little restrictive for my taste but like I said, the food was good so you won't hear any complaints out of me :)

This location is in dire need of a facelift.. The equipment is old and worn out, the carpets look disgusting (why does a gym have carpets?!) and the locker rooms need a remodel as well.. The only thing this location has going for it is the basketball courts and swimming pool.. Most 24s have one or the other, rarely do they have both.. So I guess there's that..

Just clean up and redo the place k? It's plain stupid that I choose to drive all the way to the Walnut location (Grand and Valley) for a clean and up-to-date gym when this location is half the distance from my house.. Step your game up!

Watching a film at an Arclight Cinema is really another level experience.. Although it's pricey (and really what movie theatre isn't nowadays?), it's definitely worth it.. Clean theaters, comfy seats, awesome screen and crisp sound.. These are all of the amenities you get when you come to an Arclight.. Oh and you can reserve your seat so you don't have to worry about finding one if you're running late..

Be sure to buy your tickets online and become a free member.. You get a dollar off each ticket you buy and of course can reserve your seat hours before you even get to the theatre.. Again, definitely worth the price..

Btw you're gonna have to pay for parking in the structure here (it's LA, duh).. So Arclight offers a 4 hours for $3 validation deal.. Just be sure to bring your parking stub into the theatre and scan it in the little blue box before exiting.. That way you can walk around afterwards and have dinner.. At Tender Greens ;)
