The Apollo Room At The University Club

I came here as an invited guest and was blown away by the location and view. Though it is a private club the prices were very reasonable and comparable to what you'd find in town. The service was impeccable. Definitely a place I would consider getting my own membership for. Came here for Taco Tuesday and the street tacos were fairly priced and very tasty. Their assortment of other options was excellent, and I'd say on par with some upscale restaurants. And when you're paying for membership, I don't doubt you expect the best service, which was definitely what we received. The location and view just could not be beat! Definitely hoping to get an invite back!

It 's been years since I wrote my last review and this update is overdue. This is NOT the place it was before COVID and that is a GREAT THING. Nearly all the staff is new including the General Manager Brian Lee. His vision for the club has propelled it to new heights. Chef Robin has improved the menu in amazing ways and the food is twice as good now as it ever was. The shutdown caused a break in business as usual and allowed the club to re-find itself. The old (and a bit tired) menu has been replaced with new and exciting choices and I 've heard great things from many other club members. If you have the chance to head up here for lunch or dinner, go. It will be worth it. I was, for many months, the Duke of this place due to checking in daily. I used to say that, as a private club, it should be one of my top 5 places to go for dinner. In the past, it simply wasn 't on that list. I 'm pleased to say that it is now strongly in my top 5!

Had birthday dinner, even though I'm not a member I managed to make a reservation on OpenTable and got seated at this fabulous view table top. The food was average, nothing extraordinary. They were nice to arrange special birthday menus, as well as welcome champagne glass, which I really appreciated. They also offered a dessert, but I was already full. Highly recommend for beautiful rooftops for amazing view but if you're looking for a good food experience, don't get your hopes high.

Came here on a Friday with my friend that's a member and enjoyed the amazing views of San Diego all around. We had views of the Coronado bridge, the bay, the gaslamp and Petco park. The customer service was amazing, very attentive. The food was spectacular! We had a charcuterie board, mushroom soup and the filet was tender and juicy. Also had an Ube crème brûlée very interesting and yummy. The drinks were also fantastic, I had a dirty martini with Tito's and an espresso martini perfect amount of alcohol.

I attended this venue for an awards ceremony. It was a beautiful venue and I hope to return. Great views from the top floor and while I did not try out the restaurant, I hope to in the future. It looked very crowded and patrons looked happy. There is valet parking but I parked nearby on the street instead.
