We went here on a recommendation to start out a Girls Night Out. When we got there for our 7pm reservation, we found out it was happy hour until 8 and that meant 1/2 price EVERYTHING... drinks, food and WINE menu! We knew it was tapas so we ordered a bunch of plates to share but no one told us that these are fairly good size portions for "tapas" and we were totally stuffed before we got to dessert. : ( We left a lot of food on the table un eaten but only because we were full... the food was awesome. When the bill came it was $45 each for 5 of us to have way too much food and 3 bottles of good wine. I will say we might have made slightly different menu choices if it weren't 1/2 price... but we prolly could have done with about 1/2 the food we ordered. Oh and they were totally accomodating for a couple vegetarian requests also. Pros: Happy Hour Cons: Low table height

I finally made it out to Confidential since I had been hearing so much about it and its happy hour. Everything I heard was spot on! They have wonderful food and the staff is very nice and always make sure you are comfortable. The place was smaller than I had imagined, would have been nice to have some more room since it can feel a little cramped, but it's not really a big deal cause you forget how little it is when you are there. I would def recommend this place and can't wait to go back! Pros: food, wait staff Cons: small place, parking

This elite little bar has model-like patrons and the fun and drinks go on well into the night. It seems to cater to a younger crowd, but there were representatives for most age groups there.

Confidential is a nightclub located in the Gaslamp district in San Diego. The place is very nicely decorated, and it usually places house music. The last time I went there, the crowd was very young, mostly in their mid-twenties, and were money-spenders. So if you like the young-money scene, then Confidential is the place to be!

my sister and i went to confidential a few weeks ago off a tip from the concierge at our hotel. let me just say it was great!!! the food was fabulous, you have to try the ahi and scallops. we only had a quick bite, stayed mostly for drinks and dancing, but it's definitely a menu worth exploring (being tapas and all). the atmosphere was very fun, kind of LAish, and the DJ was really great--he played everything from hip hop to house to rock. all of this was great, but the best part was the service!! Our server Cathrine was really fun. it was pretty dead when we got there and she hung out and chatted with us, giving us recommendations for the rest of our trip, talking about the cute boys that worked there and ALWAYS making sure we had a full drink. the security guards were nice when they moved us to a new table (they get rid of the middle tables for dancing) and when we got drinks at the bar, the bartenders were great. one of them juggles and he's fun to watch. the end of the night was a bit of a blur but i remember being shocked when our server opened the door for us as we left and remembered our names!! it was a wonderful experience and i recommend confidential to everyone. pros- service, food, cute boys cons- expensive drinks

If you find yourself on a Wednsday night with nothing to do, Confidential is your spot. An eclectic crowd, which includes Charger players and celebrity look alikes. The DJ offers old school hip hop with some 80's mixed. You'll find yourself singing to all the songs you thought you forgot the words to. In other words, it's a great place to get your dance on!

I've been to Confidential twice. The first time I took my husband there for his birthday. The wait staff was extremely helpful. They were all happy to make recommendations and managed to keep dishes and drinks coming without hovering over us. The second time was for a friend's bachelorette party. Yes, a bunch of giggly, rowdy women and, again, the same fantastic food and service. If you get a chance, try the infused vodkas. The Asian fusion tapas and the sliders were quite tasty. Pros: Fun atmosphere, great food and drinks Cons: Parking

Came here for a Thursday night art show upstairs that a friend of mine was in and was impressed. Nice atmosphere and beautiful wait staff that was not only nice to look at, but helpful too and surprisingly, no attitude. The appetizers were great & plentiful but unfortunately, I was not able to try any of the entrees. When I wanted to step it up a bit from the wine, I went to the bar for a few cocktails which although a bit on the pricey side, came fast and HARD. But then, this is the way I like them! Definitely more of a mellower, truly urban, local crowd than your usual PB/Dick's variety. Have been meaning to visit again during the weekend, but its a bit of a walk in heels from my East Village/Ballpark home. And ladies, this IS the kind of place where you CAN wear your nice clothes & shoes to - no flip flops here! Once I do and can have a comment about the dinner experience there, I'll revise/upgrade my review. Pros: Great place for locals Cons: Location: On busy corner near mall

We stopped in here on a whim and what a great surprise! We were in town for a few days and wanting a relaxing place to sit and talk. This was the place! Colin, the bartender, was not only a fantastic "dirty, dirty" martini maker but totally entertaining as well! Have you seen the movie cocktail? Tom Cruise has nothing on Colin. We met the manager who wanted to make sure all of our needs were met. DJ music was not too loud but still very nice. I recommend this for couples, new dates, old friends and new friends. The decor was eclectic but comfortable. I am usually not into trendy but this really worked. Pros: bartenders, drinks and scene Cons: possibly parking

I have been to virtually every bar/lounge in the Gaslamp at least several times and none of them compare to Confidential. The people are always beautiful and the management is fantastic. The last time I went they upgraded my table without me asking and literally kept the table spotless the entire meal. The ahi tuna was great as was the deconstructed pizza. Everyone loved the lamb burger sliders. We topped it off with desserts and my entire party loved it. The security staff always keeps out the San Diego Trash and I never have to wait in line for a drink. Overall, the place rocks and is the closest thing to a big city spot that SD has. I dont understand the people who bash Confidential - I guess they prefer to drink bud lights and fight beach jerks all night. Not me. Pros: Big City Feel Cons: none really
