Communion Mission Hills - San Diego, California

Alecia Rodney

Dined during their soft opening. Atmosphere and views are phenomenal. Everything our group tasted was very good. Rave reviews for the Baked Triple Cream, Poached Sea Bass, and The Ritual dessert.
A full meal (appetizer, entree, dessert and cocktail ) puts you well over $100/each.
The servers were friendly, but the wait from order to serve was long. Still working out kitchen throughput. With a full house, and no added music, the inside room gets loud, taking away from the good vibe.

We were excited to check out Communion in Mission hills! The views are phenomenal! 360 degrees of our city!! The food and drinks are delicious and the cocktails are super creative!! The staff went above & beyond too! We cannot wait to go back! Fun note you can grab a drink downstairs in atrium by elevator and wait for your table if they are busy! They had a DJ when we were there waiting!

Food and service was solid. Pork was tender and flavorful, but the mango salsa and rice with it did not make sense to us. The pea hummus & artichokes were tasty, but the hummus was minimal. Manila clams in curry were ok, it tasted more like a white wine sauce than a curry. Price is what you expect, ~$70-80 a person if you are drinking. Food came out whenever it was done instead of coursed like the waitress said it would be. We liked 1 of the 2 drinks we got. Staff was friendly, but seemed too busy and overworked for the amount of tables they were trying to fill. Location is great and parking is easy if you can walk. You can tell immediately that this is a brand new restaurant figuring itself out. We'll probably be back in the Summertime for sunset dinner and hopefully they will be a more polished restaurant by then too.

Note: The bathrooms are unisex with 4 unlabeled stalls, but 2 are urinals only and you just have to guess which one you can use. They were completely out of soap, and we had to ask them to refill both empty bottles.

5/5 Stars: Exceptional Dining Experience at Communion Mission Hills

Last night, my dinner at Communion Mission Hills exceeded all expectations. The customer service was top-notch, with our waiter Julio providing outstanding attention and care throughout the evening.

The menu offered an array of mouth-watering options, but several dishes truly stood out. The za'tar crusted lamb lollipops were a flavorful delight, while the warm focaccia with butter was the perfect accompaniment. The black truffle risotto was a masterclass in umami flavors.

However, the main courses stole the show. The coconut milk poached seabass was cooked to perfection, and the chateaubriand was equally impressive. Both dishes showcased the kitchen's skill and attention to detail.

We finished the night with the decadent Basque cheesecake, which provided a sweet conclusion to an unforgettable meal.

The beautiful restaurant, paired with stunning views of the city at night, made for a truly unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking for exceptional cuisine and service, look no further than Communion Mission Hills.

Highly recommended!

The vibe/atmosphere and views were amazing. The food was ok really really small portions for the price you pay. The waiter was nice but the service was very slow. But I understand this comes with the opening of a new restaurant. Hopefully in time they will fine tune things.
