Putting a fancy spin on traditional comfort food, everyone is bound to find something they crave. Start off with the flat-iron steak skewers, complete with crispy onion strings.

The Fleetwood Review

I guess this restaurant is a cool, locals hangout.  A group of 6 of us ate dinner here after a busy day of meetings.  We did not have reservations but got there at 7 and were able to get seated out on the patio within 10 minutes.  Our server was very efficient and had some great house specials that he recommended.  Food was killer.  Atmosphere was good.  I bet they get a ton of business when the Padres are in town.  We didn't stay for the dancing/nightlife but had a drink in the back bar after dinner.  Nice place to watch sports on the large flat screens.

Re: The Fleetwood

We just happend to stumble across The Fleetwood restaurant when we were walking over to check out Petco Park.  Our boys are huge baseball fans and wanted to take a peak at the field even though the Padres were out of town. Thank fully we did otherwise we might not have ever eaten at this delicious restaurant!  I have to say that even the boys had a good time here...They had the Padre Game going on in the bar.

Food was fantastic.  The menu was extensive as well as the wine list too. I hear they put on an incredible Sunday Brunch...All the more reason to head on back to San Diego and give it a try next time.
