Picturesque Balboa Park, with its museums, lush gardens and performing arts venues, is on every visitor's itinerary. And at the end of a busy day exploring the park's many treasures, there's no better place to relax than Prado, where the eclectic decor blends historic charm with modern flair. The menu is a mix of traditional and modern as well, with options such as a seared American Kobe beef sushi roll, grilled 16oz bone-in ribeye, and pan-roasted seabass. Gourmet sandwiches and salads are a great lunch option. The patio is family-friendly for both lunch and dinner and they also have a great happy hour.

- Lunch: "Dine on the patio for a sunny San Diego experience in between museums."
