Incredibly tasting seafood with local catches. Ship/pirate/argh themed with just flat out amazing food. A place with food worth the money. Joel was our server and was wonderful which added to the experience. Great location, ambience, and an awesome looking bar. The bathrooms even add a unique experience.

Cool atmosphere ???? friendly service ????
Our server Rachel welcomed us with a smile and positive attitude and we instantly felt special. She was attentive till the end!✅
However I did have better tasting seafood.
My lobster sandwich was a bit too creamy for my taste. And my wife’s salads was over dressed. The clam chowder was an amazing start though! ????
Overall good place for lunch during our road trip.

Fancy and fun place in Little Italy. Oysters are fresh. Lobster roll was quiet heavy with chewy and buttery bread but overall tasty. Love the drinks and the drink menu is like a book. Definitely a cool spot to visit!

One of the restaurants owned by the same people that own Morning Glory and Fortunate Son, so the aesthetic of the restaurant is just fabulous! The food matches the vibe completely and is always delicious. I personally love sitting at the dessert counter. The bakers and pastry chefs are so friendly and are more than likely going to let you sample something delicious.
The drinks here are so much fun and come in insanely cute cups (not to take home sorry)
The chowder fries are to die for but the biscuits the normal chowder comes with…. amazing!
The fish they have in house is brought in daily so the menu is always changing to accommodate the freshness. Such a great place to eat if you’re in the area!

Very pricey but delicious. If you get a cold platter make sure to eat the shrimp first! ???? The shrimp was the best!! Also tried the lobster roll (fantastic) and different ceviche! The drinks here are top notch as well!

Back in Ironside after 3 years. It still doesn’t disappoint. The vibe is bustling and relaxed. The decor is fun - particularly the wall of fish heads! Service was just right. Oysters were very good, particularly with the horseradish. The raw fish was a delight. The lobster roll kept its crispness and the yellowtail was not over cooked. Fries and broccoli were excellent. Decent wines by the glass. A great evening!

This place is pretty dang cool. The decor is awesome and the natural light is amazing. We ordered the Bigger tower and it was stacked! Everything was so fresh and all the oysters they gave you is a nice preview of what they have. The only issue I noticed was that the ceviche and the aguachile needed more salt but other than that everything was delicious. The drinks are also really good and the menu is really neat to look through. Service was awesome by everyone that came through our table!

Ironside is located in the heart of Little Italy, has one of the best lobster rolls in San Diego, amazing chowder, great people watching and a cocktail menu to die for! If you find yourself on India St. this is a must stop by and try!

The food was amazing! The octopus was the best I ever had. The oysters were so fresh and delicious. The lobster roll was so buttery and tasty. Great atmosphere. If I ever come back to San Diego this will definitely be on my list to come back.
