Outerlands

Outerlands is a lovely oasis of fresh baked bread and homemade soup in the Sunset District. I booked dinner reservations here for my birthday and was warmly greeted with a glass of sparkling rosé. My server was so friendly and genuine and took excellent care of me! The walls and ceiling are made from weathered wood and all the food is local and organic. Chef Landa prepares delicious, hearty, and attractive appetizers, meals and desserts. I ordered the beans and greens: bone broth, cannellini beans, kale, and grana padano cheese, served with pain au levain.. it was so good! I also enjoyed a hibiscus margarita, which was beautiful and refreshing, and took home a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Yum! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially for brunch, as this is a very popular neighborhood restaurant and fills up fast everyday of the week.

Autopsy Joe and I were on our way out to Ocean Beach for a little Surf Pearch and Crab fishing and thought we'd snag a little breakfast before we got to the sand. Well, it was dark, cold, and damp and Joe says we'll stop at the Outerlands breakfast restaurant because not only is the food amazingly delicious... but they're open! Sometimes it's hard to find a really good breakfast restaurant that's open this early in the morning, but the Outerlands is a true morning miracle! 5 stars and worthy of a stop! ☆☆☆☆☆

Cozy place perfect for drinks, small plates, or nice dinner. The Brussels sprouts and potato peak soup are delicious. The pear sorbet was very refreshing and tasteful. Lastly, the cocktails were great and well as their wine menu.

Parking is a real nightmare. We spent at least 15 minutes circling for a spot and ended up parking about a 10-minute walk away from the restaurant, even on a Thursday night. Plan accordingly. Inside, the tables are very small. Don’t expect to sit comfortably if you have more than a couple of dishes or just want some personal space. That said, the food is solid. The pork chop was excellent, very flavorful with a great sauce that’s rich but not heavy. The fish was also very good. Although the restaurant is labeled “New American,” the food doesn’t really feel that way to me. The flavors are on the lighter side, not salty, and fairly straightforward. Overall, I’d rate the food an 8/10. One more thing to note: there’s a 5% employee health fee added to the bill, and you’re still prompted to tip on top of that. I tipped an additional, bringing the total to 15%, which feels fairly standard, but if you’re not paying attention, the final amount can add up quickly.

This place is super cozy! We were able to get a seat for 2 for dinner without a reservation. The place had just the right amount of people chatting it up. The service was quick, the servers seemed happy, and the food was impeccable. I will concede that it was $36 for a chicken dinner, and I thought that was a little pricey, but it was honestly a really good meal and was worth the price. We got some of their fresh baked bread w/ butter and that was delicious, too.
