Our Story

FIFTH & ROSE was born from a vision to create a premier dining destination in the heart of San Diego's historic Gaslamp Quarter. We recognized a need for a space that combined sophisticated cuisine with genuine warmth—a place where urban professionals, discerning locals, and visitors could gather for exceptional experiences.

Our name reflects our commitment to both location and elegance. "Fifth" honors our prime address on J Street, a cornerstone of downtown vibrancy, while "Rose" symbolizes the refined beauty and attention to detail we bring to every aspect of your visit.

From our carefully crafted menus featuring high-quality, seasonal ingredients to our hand-mixed craft cocktails and dedicated event hosting, our mission is singular: to provide an upscale, welcoming environment where every meal becomes a memorable occasion. We invite you to be part of our story.
