Editorial Review: (View User Reviews)

The Prado at Balboa Park is one of the Cohn Restaurant Group's finest San Diego dining enterprises. A warm spirited and diverse crowd meets a truly eclectic atmosphere for lunch and dinner throughout the week. Majestic, historic charm and an innovative menu selection allure fine diners while technicolor excitement and garden patio comfort speak to families and tourists in the park plaza. The Prado patio follows a day at the San Diego Natural History Museum, The Prado dining room precedes an evening show at The Old Globe and a blend of both stands strong in solitude.


Executive Chef Jeff Thurston creates a renowned menu that communicates classic San Diego with a multicultural flair. You must begin with the calamari fries, tossed in a sweet and spicy Korean soy bean chili sauce and Napa cabbage slaw. And we dare you to resist the Adobo braised pork osso buco with sweet potato plantain mash, sautéed white corn, tomato and zucchini, topped with tomatillo-cilantro sauce. The quaint charm of this large Cohn restaurant will astound your senses as Thurston's menu keeps you yearning for more.

I don't eat at The Prado in Balboa Park too often. Let's face it--eating this well gets expensive. But, I do respect The Prado as one of the finest restaurants in San Diego, and I will always recommend it. On that note--the calamari? Outstanding. Who knew what chili sauce could do.

With great prices, a great wine list, and great appetizers, the Prado is the perfect place for an afternoon nosh. It also serves as the perfect prelude to a night at the Globe or Summer Concert in Balboa Park. Half off appetizers are a great endings to a perfect day! The special events team at The Prado are so amazing and transform the ballroom in to a magnificent venue for a wedding, prom, or celebration. Truly a San Diego landmark!
Conclusion

 a charming "bite" of San Diego history...
