Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant

You owe it to yourself to dine at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant in the heart of historic Old Town. While it is located in the fully-restored Cosmopolitan Hotel, it is anything but stuffy. On the contrary it is a beautiful and delightful experience, especially when you choose to dine on their romantic outdoor patio that is filled with romantic Mexican music by day and live music by night. Featured on the luncheon menu are a host of delicious tasting Mexican, seafood and American entrees, which are both delightfully and filling. Equally pleasing are a fine selection of perfectly-cooked entrees each evening, which are created with the freshest of fresh ingredients from local San Diego County purveyors. Attentive waiters dressed in perfect attire will provide excellent service.

What is especially pleasing about dining at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant in the heart of historic Old Town is its warm and inviting patio, which is where most diners choose to dine. It’s filled with lush flowering plants and believe-it-or-not vegetables in season including lush tomato plants and lots of dwarf fruit trees. The sound of romantic Mexican music by day and live music at night is both refreshing and uplifting. The setting is always perfect and with heaters to warm you in the evening the patio is always a perfect place to dine.

Featured nightly at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant are a host of eight excellent entrées and each one is so delicious that you’ll think that it is the speciality of the house. Nothing short of delicious is the savory apple cider glazed pork cheeks served on a bed of quinoa (rice), which is accented with black kale and a sensational smoked apple-walnut puree. It’s a marvelous entree. Also impressive is their oven roasted chicken breast, which almost melts in your mouth. It’s served with white corn and a mushroom gratin accented with savory wilted greens and a tantalizing herbed pan jus. Another excellent selection is the grilled salmon served with wilted baby spinach and roasted new potatoes.

If you are attending one of the delightful play at the Cygnet Theatre in Old Town, the Cosmopolitan Restaurant offer a delicious pre theater menu from 5 p.m.–6:15 p.m. ($29.95) per person. Offered on the pre fix menu is your choice of charred Romaine lettuce, a mixed green sales or the soup of the day with one of the following main courses of albacore, sirloin, over roasted half chicken or their memorable pork cheeks and a dessert.

The service is also attentive and excellent at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant. And do save room for one of their housemade desserts such as warm churros dusted in sugar and served with a savory Ibarra chocolate dipping sauce. This fabulous dessert is a sensational conclusion to a memorable meal.

And don’t overlook the happy hour offered daily at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant from 3 p.m. till 6 p.m. daily with delicious discounted appetizers such as Old Town’s famous fish tacos, sweet potato fries and the list goes on and on. During happy hour the house wine and draft beers are ($3.50) and the house drinks are ($4.50). After strolling around historic Old Town a frosty margarita blended or on the rocks is a great way to appreciate historic Old Town.

With such a delightful patio it should come as no surprise that this is an excellent setting for a wedding rehearsal, wedding and wedding reception. It is big enough to easily accommodate a huge wedding yet small enough to accommodate and wedding size. See the banquets and catering page.

But the best is yet to come if you choose to spend the night in one of their historic fully restored (circa 1870s) hotel rooms overlooking the Old Town Plaza. Each room at the Cosmopolitan Hotel is nicely furnished in an historic motif. The ten, second story accommodations offer a delightful view of romantic Old Town San Diego State Park and a peak of the bay from their wrap-around second story balcony.
