Perched above downtown, in Little Italy's center, the Glass Door is favored by locals in the know. Since its opening, it has become one of the best San Diego restaurants, drawing a savvy, stylish crowd from throughout the city to our charming European boutique hotel.
Located on the 4th floor of the Porto Vista Hotel, the Glass Door is redefining the city’s dining trends. Our menus are inspired by the vogue offerings of Europe’s Culinary Capitals, created by using local, seasonal and the freshest of ingredients. A hip yet cozy atmosphere complements the incredible downtown and harbor views. Dine under a canopy of handmade Moroccan lanterns, or breathe in the air of Little Italy on the balcony or Ripassi Roofdeck with your favorite cocktail. Sunset Happy Hour is the talk of the town, while our fabulous Weekend Brunch lets you greet the day with mouth-watering fare.
Starting on January 29, The Glass Door restaurant will be temporarily closed in order to make some updates and enhancements. We will reopen and introduce our new look on Thursday, February 9.
All new cocktails including our top selling “ghost rider fair warning tequila” with house made white whiskeycello and lime or the "winter-pear smash" with absolut pears, sky ginger and house spiced cider with cinnamon
