Mabel's San Diego Reviews
I was visiting fam in SD.
I had heard great things about Mabel's. We sat outside...other than having to fend off a few flies, it was a really great way to soak up North Park with great food and people watching. The tables are a bit teeny but they made it work. The staff
For the happy hour oysters, great value.
2 dollar oysters at this quaility. These are the best oysters that I've had in san diego.

Saw the great reviews for this place and went with high hopes. While it is understood that some of tapas dishes- made to share - are a "twist" on some classic dishes, a majority of them were just okay. The mussels Escabeche was a good dish,

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for their Oyster Hour where oysters are half off if you order a dozen. The oysters were delicious. We also got some drinks and my friend couldn't stop raving about her gin&tonic, so definitely get that. We s

Our experience at Mabel's was an unequivocal 10/10! Our waitress Sophie was knowledgeable on each dish we had questions about and she steered us in the right direction with the menu. She really took her time to cater to us as patrons of the rest
I would rate it overall a 7.
2. Good fun date spot, but food is overpriced. Portions are tiny and they don't really cater to you if you have any issues. Pasta was downright bad.. bad bad no flavor. $28 for the pasta and it took us 7-8 bites to finish it. We let them know af

I had dinner there with family and friends and we ordered almost everything on one side of the menus because the items sounded intriguing. I was immediately impressed by the courteous, professional, and friendly service. We worked our way, almost end
Mabel's is worthy of its Michelin guide status.
Their dishes were tasty with unique flavors. Some favorites were their mushrooms, mussels, and paella. Can't say I loved every dish, but I enjoyed every dish. And I'm looking forward to coming back! :)
Outstanding from start to finish! The mixed drinks are out
Outstanding from start to finish! The mixed drinks are out of this world; even the ostensibly simple ones are exemplars of their kind, perfectly put together and dressed up just that crucial bit that pushes them into the stratosphere of mixology. The
Damn, the Spanish G and T went down quickly.
A really fun night, with great food. Squid salad-a plethora of flavors, the bread is not to be missed with the excellent salted butter. Pan con tomato-each bite so flavorful. You can't lose if you order ham or cheese. Waitress went above and beyond a
We really enjoyed the experience.
The Spanish G&T was absolutely delicious. The wine list is not that extensive. My husband was served a fermented wine of some sort. The server kept asking him if he wanted to taste it first but failed to explain that it was not a normal wine. It
Went last night to Mabel's.
The food was so good, literally every dish we ordered. The giganta beans were amazing, yes beans. The service was also top notch and the staff was so friendly. I highly recommend Mabel's. Loved it!
Went here on a Friday night during summer.
The place is crazy busy. We had a reservation but still had to wait 15 minutes to get a table. This is very much a tapas place. No real main dishes. We had the chorizo/cheese, fresh salad, fried sea bass and the basque cheese cake. The food was tasty
Had an amazing time at the Bar, had a delicious dinner.
Everything we ordered was on point! Muscles escabeche a must. Also the bartender was awesome!
Super Wow! Cocktails, Wine, Small Plates.
Thank you Danny and Luna, chef and team...amazing, as usual!
We had amazingly delicious dinner here.
Wonderful staff, very busy restaurant with inside & some outside seating. We love shareable meals. We had smoked fish sandwich, tortilla espanola, grilled fish, squid salad, summer squash. Fun, casual and relaxed atmosphere.

We didn't expect to sit at the "bar" facing the chefs since we made a reservation well in advance but it was a cool experience seeing them cook! The food was amazing. It was hard to pick a favorite as everything was truly delicious and uniq
It feels like you're stepping into Spain when you walk in
It feels like you're stepping into Spain when you walk in here they have a fantastic selection of vermouth and gin cocktails. The mussels were delicious. Staff was very kind and attentive. A gem in North Park!
Really great experience.
Good variety of food, all of it delicious. Good drinks, better dessert. We especially liked the cheese, the swordfish, and the affogato. Service was very welcoming. Felt like they were happy we were there, which is not as common a feeling as it use
The food here was wonderful.
My rule for eating out is that it has to be better than anything I could cook at home & this definitely delivered. If you aren't a fan of seafood, I'd suggest finding another place to eat. Their swordfish was so delicious and cooked to perfection
Awesome place.
Great food and service. I highly recommend this place. Everything we tried was delicious and fresh.
One of the best raw bar places you can go to.
Super fresh oysters and they have great cheeses. I also had their quiche with cavier which was pretty good to try once but not what I would usually get. The staff was nice and if you don't know what to get, they have amazing recommendations. Definate

Note to self: next time arrive towards the end of happy hour (4-5 pm) for half-priced oysters by the dozen and discounted craft cocktails, then stay past 6 for dinner! On this occasion, we arrived on the dot at 4 and filled up on snacks (also delicio
Finally got the chance to try this place out.
Sat at the bar with a friend because all the tables were unavailable (despite making a reservation well in advance). I love the dim-lit, swanky, sultry vibe of this place. The bartenders were also the nicest and most attentive I've ever came across.
Great North Park location that is the perfect date night
Great North Park location that is the perfect date night spot, with great lighting and music! They have the best oysters and they are perfectly shucked. Anna was super helpful and attentive bartender and provided us with a n/a cocktails. Love the bar
This place is a joke.
We ordered two dishes and both lacked any type of cooking skills. For the "Jamon Serrano" they simply purchased prosciutto and bread from third parties, arranged it on a plate and charged us 3x the cost or more. Likewise the mussels dish wa

If I could give this 3.
5 stars, I would. With the exception of the dates, the food was fine or quite good. The service was friendly but with that tinge of elitism that makes you feel like you don't belong. I had the trout--not my usual choice in fish, as I have only had i

How have I never been here before?! We had reservations and were a couple minutes early. The host let us know our table was wrapping up and they had us wait in their event space. It was super comfortable and they took our drink orders. To drink, I wa
Nice Dinner at Mabel's Gone Fishing
Mabel’s Gon Fishing had been recommended by a few of my work friends so we decided to have a family dinner there. It fit the bill as a trendy North Park restaurant. The food was very good and the service excellent. I look forward to going back.
GREAT SEAFOOD
Excellent seafood, and a welcome addition to San Diego's restaurant lineup. Smoked mackerel was tender and flavorful, served on very good sourdough bread. Ocean trout was equally good, cooked perfectly, just slightly rare. And Basque cheesecake was a
Order the cheesecake!
Server was very friendly and the place was packed. Menu is limited but we found four items to share between the two of us. Cheesecake was delicious with carmelized goat milk sauce. Iberian authenticity makes Mabel’s a stand out!
Mabel's Gone Fishing - a BIG disappointment
We made reservations at Mabel's Gone Fishing due to its national recognition by Michelin and raving reviews by friends. We wanted to have lunch so chose the brunch on a Sunday. The menu for brunch was not the same menu for dinner and no menus were po
Exceptionally delicious food! A bit loud in the restaurant
Exceptionally delicious food! A bit loud in the restaurant , lots of energy. A happening place . If you have a hard time hearing it would be challenging to converse with your party . The wait staff is wonderful.
Almost all great.
It was a long waiting time in some room next to the restaurant though we had reservation. Ordered a bunch of different items. Didn't like the mussels, tastes like canned stuff to me. Claims were good, swordfish steak was great. fried potatoes were th

New places that I rarely go unless one of my friends mentioned it. We are trying our best to go to places we haven't been and sometimes it works out, other times its just meh. Mabel's Gone Fishing is one of the newer places in the North Park area w

We made a reservation at 8:15 on a Saturday night.
We were immediately seated. Our server quickly went over the popular items and we ordered the oysters and tuna right away. The foods came as they were ready with a good amount of space in between. We ordered both the salads , crispy potatoes the bat
My husband and I had a fabulous meal tonight.
Amy was the hostess, and she was very attentive. She noticed our table wasn't quite stable and placed things under the feet to make it stable. Without us even asking. She also kept checking on us along with our server. Our server was Mozar. He was ex
Best potatoes and oysters I've ever had.
I love the wine, oysters, olives, and bread. The food was served with good timing. The food and wine here is excellent but my issue is with the service. Charging $8 for still water rubbed me the wrong way. They did not present an option of free water

Simply outstanding food: uniquely prepared: we thought "Tapas? let's not under order"! MISTAKE!; Very filling! we had a great server:Delicious! If you want romance, however, go to The Red Door
My experience was not great.
I was a walk in. Just me. The hostess said I could have this table if I could be in and out in an hour and fifteen as they had a reservation. I said no problem! I ordered my cocktail, and my food. All raw items - oysters and crudo. Two cocktails and
Service, impeccable.
Casual and friendly yet so detailed and pristine. Drinks were phenomenal. We had the gimlet, the Negroni, and the la Rambla. All were so unique and perfectly balanced. The food? Unreal. The swordfish was the best swordfish I've had. The potatoes and

The food was not good.
We tried several dishes. Small plates style serving and over priced. The oysters were good but that's about it. The bar area for seating is over crowed. Not enough space for dining. Won't be back.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mabel's San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mabel's San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Mabel's San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mabel's San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
