Score 91/100 · Order: Rotating natural wine flight · $12–18 per glass
The Rose built San Diego's natural wine scene, and the glass list still rotates faster than anywhere else in the county. Staff steer confidently between funky and approachable, the small food menu is built around the wine rather than the reverse, and the back patio is one of the best drinking spaces in the city.
Local tip: Tell the staff what you usually drink — the best pours here are rarely on the printed list.
