My visit to Prado in Balboa Park was truly delightful! 🌟 We were fortunate to snag a table on the patio, which offered a charming view. I indulged in the seared salmon - perfectly cooked - and the pressed arugula salad, which was a flavor explosion! My partner loved the crab dip and said it was “very crabby,” just how we like it.

The service was swift, and to top it off, they surprised us with a flan dessert to celebrate our 18th anniversary! 🎉 A lovely ambiance and great drinks make this a must-visit for anyone in the area. Don’t skip this gem!
