"Overall, I was always impressed by Paper Doll. We have always enjoyed the entire atmosphere of the place and drinks they have to offer. About a month ago some friends and I booked places for the dollhouse at Paper Doll. We had been looking forward to it for months and I even had people from the city. When we arrived, the host told us that the dollhouse was not open at the moment. This was surprising because we had received notifications about our reservations for some time. He told us that they were low on the staff, what we understood completley, and that they would not be able to eat us back there. I told him that I totally understand that they were short employees, and we wouldn't complain yet expect ordinary service, but really wanted in Dollhouse because of 1) our big group size, and 2) the fact that we celebrated birthdays. He was very friendly, but not knocking, but was very helpful to make sure we sit in regular seats on Paper Doll. It ended all right, and we did all push and fit on the stands, but it was still not what we had expected. The next time it would be great to know before the time whether the place we book is not open because we would have gone 100% to another bar if we knew it in advance. The host was helpful and tried, but it was still frustrating that we came about 20 guests and no idea that the room should be closed. They also suggested that we have booked it on a separate website, but on OpenTable it was not clear that you had to do this with large groups. Beverages were great and the staff was friendly and helpful, just write this review to help anyone who can do the same in the future."

"Wanted to go here since it opened I read the great reviews but somehow it got off my radar. So we ditched Flemings I dragged my husband to a 'Taco Shop ', though not your average 'taco ' shop. Started with BS (brussel sprouts). They were roasted with a perfect char, tossed in a light lime wonderful chipotle mayo that is mouthwatering. Like no other brussels you have had in San Diego. I wanted to lick the plate. My husband had to have tacos. I love tacos but generally am not a big corn tortilla girl, but these 'masa ' corn tortillas are to die for. Start with they DO NOT fall apart so you can eat a taco in a civilized manner. They tasted amazing with just the right amount of each ingredient so each bite is a taste explosion. The taco platter comes with 2 mix match tacos and with beans rice, which are just OK, but the tacos make up for it. Both tacos were equally tasty so I won 't tell you what we got so you can experiment yourself. On the table is a red tomato based sauce (fair) a green sauce I wanted to put on everything! My trout entree was cooked to perfection was literally the BEST trout I have ever eaten including when in Idaho and caught in the river cooked by a 5 star chef right there. At Galaxy the trout had crispy/crunchy skin, light/delicate white fish, perfectly cooked inside not one single bone. Cocktails were divine. The Paradise; citrus vodka, hibiscus, and passion fruit...Yum-my. My husband is still talking about the Pepino Picante; cucumber, cilantro, lime, jalepeno tequila.....fresh spicy all in one glass. For dessert Flan, which was creamy delicious. Our server Sarah was spectacular. Attentive but not annoying, friendly but not intrusive, she did not miss a beat. Only negative is the 3.5% mandatory s/c. I think in a venue like this it is not appropriate. Perhaps a Georges or Flemings, but not this casual. Can 't wait to return."
