Pricing:
The food is on the pricey side. Most of the entrees are in the $15-18 range. A major part of their menu is selecting a few of their side dishes (big enough to share) to accompany your entrees. The side dishes are an extra $5-8 apiece.
Distance:
A downtown San Diego restaurant. You take the 163 and then get off on Robinson Ave. The Tractor Room is on 5th Ave which intersects with Robinson. Bring change for parking, it can get a little crowded at night. Takes about 20 minutes to drive there and then what sometimes feels like an hour to park.
Thoughts:
It's cozy, it's cooky, it has cocktails... The Tractor Room is the perfect date night getaway. The menu selections are not your standard burger/pizza/pasta choices. So you're going to have to be a little adventurous and maybe order duck kabobs or a lamb burger instead. Don't worry, the food is all excellent and you can tell your friends that you tried something exotic.
The food is a little too expensive to for me to put The Tractor Room on the regular rotation (plus, it's a little far). It's also wise to make a reservation with this place. However, all these things combined make it a fantastic date night. You can hear the person you're eating with talk. I also think having to share the side dishes makes things fun. It gives you something to argue about.
The Tractor Room is kind of has an artsy vibe to it. It's definitely not mainstream. Which I think works to it's advantage. If you're on a first date you can impress your date at your knowledge of the town. If you've been with your significant other for awhile, you feel like you got out of the house and didn't just go to the local pizza joint for dinner.
