What people say
Wormwood San Diego has received mixed reviews, according to the latest collection of newspaper reviews. The most recent review, published in The San Diego Union Tribune in August 2020, praised Wormwood's "thoughtfully crafted cocktails" and "cozy atmosphere." However, a previous review from San Diego Eater in February 2020 criticized the restaurant's food as being "unremarkable" and "overpriced."
Online customer reviews also reflect this mixed sentiment. One reviewer on Yelp raved about the "delicious drinks and fantastic service," while another complained about the high prices and small portion sizes.
Despite these varied opinions, Wormwood San Diego seems to be a popular destination for those looking for a unique cocktail experience. As one Yelp user remarked, "If you enjoy craft cocktails, this place is definitely worth checking out."
