Top Best American Restaurants in Central Beach

"Bertrand at Mr. A's just might be one of the best places to enjoy a skyline view of Downtown San Diego, Coronado, Balboa Park and Point Loma, with the occasional plane landing or taking off from the airport. Imagine the sunset at dinner time: This is why this restaurant is perpetually voted one of the most romantic places to eat in the city. However, its casual elegance is also welcoming to families (there is no kids menu, however) and you may leave your jacket and tie at home."

"An elegant dining room is enhanced by jaw-dropping city views that peer out over to the harbour. At night, you can sip on champagne and watch the city light up in a twinkling display of beauty. Crisp white linen and high-backed chairs ensure the entire evening is an elegant affair."

"Top Chef alum Richard Blais has crafted a menu of ethically sourced free-range chicken and egg dishes, so—even though you're not tucking into the healthiest meal—you can at least feel good about what you're eating. There are veggie-dense salads and power bowls packed with quinoa, but that's not what you're here for: Crack Shack is all about the fried chicken, both in sandwich and standalone form. There are also fried chicken adjacent items like deviled eggs and chicken fat fries."

"Located next door to Juniper and Ivy, The Crack Shack is another of Chef Richard Blais' creations. It's comfort food thanks to locally-raised, free-range, antibiotic-free chicken and creative recipes."

"Juniper and Ivy boasts a modern American kitchen and while their dinner and drink menu is on point, it’s their desserts that take the cake!. From their “Yodel” (devil’s cake, white chocolate, hazelnut brittle and hot chocolate) to their “Milk & Honey” (grilled fig, honey ice cream, vanilla panna cotta and poppy seed tuille), they put a swanky, upscale spin on their sweet dishes. Any of their desserts would go very nicely with their “Barreled Cocktail #4” (Scotch, Amaretto, Sweet Vermouth and coffee liqueur)."

"Accomplished chef Richard Blais has whipped up a whimsical menu of innovative yet refined West Coast fare. Exquisite plating, colorful ingredients, and sumptuous flavors all come together in Juniper & Ivy’s relaxing, spacious dining room. The smoked veal bratwurst is beautifully presented and the chorizo clams will put some spice in your life (and your Instagram feed)."

"What is it: This lively upscale restaurant is the centerpiece of San Diego’s food and drink-obsessed Little Italy. Why go: The airy dining room here continues to be packed out by locals, thanks to chef Anthony Wells' continually shifting, inventive menu. We're talking delicious small plates and culinary-inspired cocktails."

"Hoppy days are ahead at Pacific Beach AleHouse, which will officially open for patio dining on Saturday, January 30th, ready to serve up toothsome bites and frothy brews on their scenic patios. Be sure to order their Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel paired with one of the location’s fresh house brews."

"This brewery/restaurant offers up brunch, lunch and dinner at its restaurant, which also gives its patrons a stellar glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. PB Alehouse serves a variety of different burgers, sandwiches, flat breads, salads and tacos. There’s really something for everyone."

"This New American restaurant offers a wide range of seafood options, as well as a popular daily happy hour. Located in Misson Hills, Harley Gray Kitchen & Bar is a “mash-up of sort..."

"This light and airy Mission Hills bistro is a lively kitchen and bar with one of the best cheap eats in San Diego menus. The daily happy hour is a local favorite. Select from a wid..."

"Visit the Convoy or Mira Mesa location for picture-worthy ice cream served in a ah-boong, Korea’s version of a waffle cone but in the shape of a fish. Cones come with a choice of fillings, including red bean and Nutella, before being topped off with a swirl of creamy soft-serve in flavors ranging from ube and black sesame to milk tea."

"Somi Somi offer irresistible Korean-inspired soft serve in ornate fish-shaped cones that are as pretty on the eye as they are tasty. You’ll find their locations all across Southern California, but nothing beats walking down a sunny San Diego street with one of their creations in your hand."

"Head to Somi Somi for popular Korean desserts like Ah-Boong, a goldfish-shaped waffle cone filled with your choice of filling and topped with soft serve. The Taiyaki is a warm fish-shaped waffle stuffed with a choice of fillings including custard, taro, red beans and more."
