Broken Hearted Solo Birthday Dinner recommendations! (From Denver)

Howdy! i’m a solo F(24) traveler heading to San Diego because i just got blindsided broken up with the day before valentine’s day. my birthday is in two weeks, though i have hope it’s not the forever end of my relationship, i don’t know what 2 weeks from now will look like between us or our friends and i have this impending sense of a crash out for that weekend.

so, here i am, from deciding to take the trip and having everything booked was ~4 hours. I just chose a random city i could get cheap flights to without a second thought of why i should go there or what i would do. maybe i was hoping the figuring it out would also give me some distraction.

my birthday is on the Sunday the 15th, i’d like to go for a drink and a fancy dinner/lunch, i don’t mind if i need a reservation or if it’s higher priced (just nothin crazy). i’m open to any recommendations, though seafood would be great since im from a landlocked state. any other recommendations for museums/things to do are welcome as well. my hostel is also near the Gas Lamp Quarter for reference!

this is the most hope i’ve had since everything fell apart, im excited to try exploring the city. i appreciate any feedback.
