Reviews for Donna Jean in San Diego, CA

This was fabulous. The lasagna was some of the best I have had, vegan or not. The chicken fried shrooms were crunchy and had a... great, creamy gravy. The greens were just the right amount of salty. Our server was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere wasnice, although the music was just a touch loud for my taste. Everything was beautifully presented. Read more

The food is very good and the patio is adorable. The pasta was unbelievable and better than the pizza - I’d say the pizza... could have gone lighter on the cheese ideally. Still an A+ experience! Read more

Amazing place! Very impressive vegan restaurant that delivers on all fronts. I brought my family here (who are carnivores) and... they loved it too! We got bread (a definite must), a salad, pizza, lasagna, and a cheesecake. The bread and crust of the pizzawas my favorite part. They're homemade vegan cheeses were also awesome, pretty mellow in flavor but spot on on the texture. Theservice was also top notch. If you're vegan you should definitely come here. If you're not, you should also come just to beimpressed with what can be done without your standard meats and cheeses. Read more

Beautiful atmosphere on the front patio. Pretty romantic and quaint. The hostess was incredibly friendly and kind that sat us.... Our server was a bit less enthusiastic but didn’t ruin the night at all. Pretty underwhelming gluten free options. $25 for asmall plate of gnocchi was pretty steep. Even though it was very good. I was not thrilled that the reason there’s no more gfpizza is because it “didn’t sell well” as the server informed us. Outside of this, the food was fantastic along with theatmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their meals! Read more

Had an amazing dinner but the standout of our meal was The Bronx pizza with garlic dipper and Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert.... Hands down one the best vegan spots we've ever tried. On top of delicious food we've never had bad service here. Our serverAspen was kind and attentive. Read more

This is an awesome spot for vegan food. I’m not strictly vegan, but my significant other prefers to eat mainly vegan, and... I’ve got a pretty open mind/palate. I have to say as far as vegan restaurants go (and I’ve tried quite a few) this place isat the top of my list. Most items (including their vegan cheese) are made in house, and you can definitely tell. The vegan pizzawas the best I’ve had, and the fried “chicken” (mushrooms) was insane. They worked us in on a busy weekend night with noreservation, to boot. Will definitely be back, as this place is just down the street from me. Highly recommend! Read more

Great spot for vegan food. The sea bean Caesar salad was pretty good. The house bread with the pesto and garlic butter was... excellent. We got the spuds pizza because other reviewers sang praise about it, but I found it underwhelming. I liked the crust,but prefer if it was crispier on the bottom. Great service and we loved hearing all the birds in the outdoor patio! Read more

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. Charming, cozy and delightful ambiance. The dishes are fresh, flavorful and well... balanced. Staff is attentive, professional and very welcoming. We felt right at home. Don’t miss the freshly baked bread whichis incredibly light and delicious. A couple of my favorites were the e butternut squash tortellini and the Iron Man pizza. Youcan’t go wrong here! Read more
