The best date night spot in San Diego? I've yet to go on one of those. If anyone's watching this, there's a special someone out there that'd love to take me. Oh, Monarch. Yeah. It's just sunset, live music, beautiful people. It's the go to. Born and raised. Or Himitsu in La Jolla. You're famous. The best sushi spot. Javier's food's good, and then the margaritas are insane. I've been to Bacari, like, a couple nights ago. Such a cute date spot. I really recommend that. My boyfriend and I like to go to Kiki Room. Really good DJs, good rank, if you're in the mood for some dancing. Dude, a Wayfair pizza on Friday night. Taking it to go and going to the beach. The first place that comes to mind is Seneca Downtown. That one's really pretty. Overlooks the better. Beautiful vibes. Take your girl there. She'll love it.
