The Apollo Room At The University Club

Find dining at its best with a grand view. I also like special events they put on throughout the year.

A friend is looking at potentially being a member, so she invited us to have dinner here. If you are not a member, prepare to.pay for parking if you park in the lot otherwise, it is downtown so good luck finding parking. Getting to the club super easy because there are signs everywhere. Getting back to the car was a bit more of a challenge which we managed through. Prepare to take multiple elevators for this adventure. Service was great. We were sat at a table overlooking the city. Honestly, it was gorgeous! Server was on point and attentive. One of the girls and I ordered a prefix dinner. We got salads which were great. When they cleared our plates for the main course, the forks were taken but never replaced. While the rest of the table got their food and were able to start enjoying, we had to call over someone to let them know we don't have Utensils. I found the chicken to be fantastic and perfectly juicy. My girlfriend who hot the same said her chicken was dry. My husband got the waygu burger he gave it top marks. I took a bite and agreed. He also had fries which were perfectly made and seasoned. Another friend got a burger and he too agreed that it was perfect. The other girlfriend got the gnocchi she said it was over power by sage which she did not appreciate. I tried a bite and all I tasted was potato. The hubby and I had to rush home (fur babies amiright?!?! So we had dessert to go. Once we got home and made sure the 4 legged monster was fine, we made tea and enjoyed the cookies and cream pie. I found it to be exactly right. I like cream pies to be light and fluffy which this was. Husband prefers his to be dense so he wasn't a fan. We both enjoyed the raspberries that came with it. Overall, we all agreed that we would come again. The space is beautiful. Food was good. Service was great. Prices are fair. Hoping my friend gets that membership so I could come again soon

Always such a beautiful place to enjoy the rooftop views of San Diego. Located Atop Symphony Towers, this is the exclusive club of all exclusive clubs. The dining and upscale ambiance is pristine. The space is ideal for special events, private group dinners, hosted upscale dinners, and very excellent staff members work here. The food is absolutely delicious. The bartenders are top notch at their profession. The dining areas as private venue rooms are well manicured, maintained, and stunning. We will always come back.

I came here as an invited guest and was blown away by the location and view. Though it is a private club the prices were very reasonable and comparable to what you'd find in town. The service was impeccable. Definitely a place I would consider getting my own membership for. Came here for Taco Tuesday and the street tacos were fairly priced and very tasty. Their assortment of other options was excellent, and I'd say on par with some upscale restaurants. And when you're paying for membership, I don't doubt you expect the best service, which was definitely what we received. The location and view just could not be beat! Definitely hoping to get an invite back!

It 's been years since I wrote my last review and this update is overdue. This is NOT the place it was before COVID and that is a GREAT THING. Nearly all the staff is new including the General Manager Brian Lee. His vision for the club has propelled it to new heights. Chef Robin has improved the menu in amazing ways and the food is twice as good now as it ever was. The shutdown caused a break in business as usual and allowed the club to re-find itself. The old (and a bit tired) menu has been replaced with new and exciting choices and I 've heard great things from many other club members. If you have the chance to head up here for lunch or dinner, go. It will be worth it. I was, for many months, the Duke of this place due to checking in daily. I used to say that, as a private club, it should be one of my top 5 places to go for dinner. In the past, it simply wasn 't on that list. I 'm pleased to say that it is now strongly in my top 5!
