The Prado

$$-$$$, Eclectic, Balboa Park

User Rating: ***** 4.9

Fodor's Review:

This beautiful restaurant in the House of Hospitality on Balboa Park's museum row brings an inventive, contemporary menu to an area where picnic lunches or hot dogs from a nearby cart are the only other options. The striking Spanish-Moorish interior has original painted ceilings and elaborate glass sculptures, and the bar is a fashionable pre- and post-theater destination for light nibbles. In the dining room, well-trained servers offer dishes that range from a dressy "farmer's salad" to saffron linguine with shellfish of the day, Colorado rack of lamb, and roasted sea bass.

Awesome!

One of our favorite restaurants! We go here at least twice a month. Great for lunch. Fantastic soups and their hummus is awesome! A winner of the Cohn group!

Sit Outside

Posted by Diana410 from Chesapeake, Virginia on 10/17/07

We had lunch outside, near the tinkling water fountain. It was so serene, quiet and beautiful; didn't want to leave. Service was quick and complimentary hummus and crackers were served. Wished I had time to go back for dinner.
