Greeted by the friendliest (and prettiest) hostesses ever! Celebrated our special occasion and everything was perfect. (Well, The swordfish was overdone but still edible. I don’t complain when restaurants need our support right now!). Will definitely be back!

A very pleasant place for an evening dinner on the San Diego Bay waterfront. The food was great, our crab and shrimp fondue and also the crabcakes were very tasty. The service is excellent and the staff were very attentive to us. The prices are reasonable for the area. It is also in a fine area for an after dinner stroll along the waterfront. I recommend this place!

Staff was very friendly. View was amazing, I got a table right in front of the bay. Food was great. Average price for California. I gave it 4 ⭐️ Because the ???? that I eat all the time had for some reason some pickled onion that I would never match it would and it was not grilled as well as is normally done. However, if you love seafood it’s worth trying especially for it’s location.

This is my favorite restaurant to come to in downtown San Diego. I haven't been disappointed yet! I always order my favorite drink, the Spa Day. It's a vodka cocktail with elderflower and cucumber soda. So good and a must try.
We came in and were greeted warmly. Our servers (one was a trainee) checked on us throughout our meal. Drinks came out quickly, followed by our appetizers. We ordered the Oysters Rock (must try) and Calamari.
Our main courses came out super quick, which was a surprise because they were fairly busy. All food (in pictures below) was hot and tasted amazing. Yes, I tasted all of it. I paid for it!
Great place! Will be back for sure, but not soon enough.

We had the special (sea bass topped with crab, lobster risotto, asparagus) and the mahi which turned out to be similar dishes. Wished the waitress pointed that out, but guess that's our mistake. Food was good, but felt it was overpriced for what it was. Could have had more flavor, but not bland by any means. Nice restaurant, good views, had kid menu and crayons for the little ones. Looks like a good date spot. There were a lot of prom dates when we went. Service was good. Not sure if they take reservations for specific tables, but there are tables with better views.

What a fantastic restaurant and seafood place in San Diego. I was pleasantly surprised, thoroughly entertained, and highly satisfied during my visit. The selection of food they offer is nothing short of delicious. The environment can get a little bit loud but it is all in good restaurant atmosphere. I had the most amazing fried calamari that I’ve ever had. Definitely high quality. The seafood selection is fantastic from fish to crab and lobster to shrimp. They also offer pork chicken and steak options. There’s fantastic outdoor seating with a view of the ocean and the ports. It is also right next to the famous star of India boat. Parking can be a challenge especially if it’s busy, but it’s worth the effort to try and come and eat here. I would highly recommend it.

Amazing food. Was worried about them living up to their reputation. The net expectations of being great. Only the person who brought the food had a negative attitude. Drinks were tasty. Octopus was amazing. Will definitely be back! Great service from hostess and wait staff. Nice view.

Absolutely fantastic! We are visiting for a convention and decided on this place on a whim. It was the best choice. The outdoor seating area was gorgeous with a beautiful view of the bay, the food was delicious, but the staff is what made this place top notch. Our server was Forest and I can’t sing his praise enough. He provided the best recommendations, helped us navigate the menu, and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. His recommendation for the oysters and lobster fondue…delicious! Highly recommend both and will be recommending this place for the other attendees at the convention.

Delicious. Great scenic views. Our waiter Steve was excellent. The food fantastic. Try reserving a seat on outdoor patio, closest to Sea of India boat docked. The water, shimmering lights are worth it. Heaters are on to reduce the coldness. I will be back for sure. Best oysters!
