San Diego’s 15 Best Waterfront Restaurants
"San Diego has several stellar hotel restaurants and this is one of them. Executive Jason Knibb is a favorite of both the food-obsessed and other local chefs for his precise and never pretentious California cuisine."
"Another mainstay of La Jolla’s dining scene is Nine-Ten, which in addition to boasting some of the best fine dining in San Diego also has one of the best wine lists."
"Accolades continue to roll in for executive chef Jason Knibb—winner of an award of excellence by Wine Spectator in 2018—whose seasonal menus...Read More"
"Love can make you feel like your head’s in the clouds as can the stellar view of the skyline and landing planes from this Bankers Hill classic. That’s probably why it's been the site of so many marriage proposals, Valentine’s dates, and special celebrations since it opened decades ago and especially since it was reimagined by owner Bertrand Hug in 2000. The upscale American menu features standbys like pork chops and duck breasts in their most classic forms as well as modern takes on dishes like swordfish and lamb with smoked date jam."
"With roots as a jacket-required dinner room, Bertrand's has since turned to a more casual atmosphere while continuing to provide one of the best penthouse restaurant experiences in California.[Learn more]"
"2550 Fifth Ave 12th floor, San Diego, CA 92103 (619)-239-1377. Mister A’s has a lovely view of the city and the bay view. The view gets even better close to sunset."
"Imperial BeachThe name of this spacious restaurant in Imperial Beach really says it all. Come here for sweeping 180-degree ocean views and coastal fare like Tuna Takoshimi Tacos, East/West Crabcakes, and macadamia-nut crusted fish. Social hour (2:30-5pm daily) is a great time to get small plates for $5-$9, plus beer, wine, and cocktails for $5 a pop; but you won’t get the full benefit of the wrap-around ocean views, so it’s better to extend your stay and have dinner on the patio."
"Part of the Cohn group of restaurants, this Imperial Beach spot is located on the first floor of the Pier South Resort. Every indoor seat offers a glimpse of the beach but for unencumbered views, request a seat on their sunny patio."
"SEA180 Coastal Tavern is definitely one of San Diego’s most famous restaurants!. Located at one of San Diego’s most distinctive locales, it features sweeping views of the Coronado I"
"The Fleet Science Center has over one hundred hands-on exhibits for curious kids and their parents. Kid City was designed for children up to five years of age and features a block corner for budding architects, the Little Learner’s Lab and its Young Explorer computer stations, a Fire Truck exhibit that teaches street safety, and the colorful and exciting Ball Wall that demonstrates the properties of physics. Older kids will gravitate to the Studio X maker space where they can participate in regularly scheduled workshops or create something on their own using the studio’s tools and materials."
"We had a great time visiting the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park and actually ended up going twice while we were in San Diego. (Our reciprocal membership made this possible.) It wasn’t the largest Science Center we have been in, but it had a great collection of hands on activities for the kids – including a Lego section. Our favorite part was the Tinker Lab where the kids eyes lit up when they saw tons of cardboard and other fun materials they could use to build whatever they wanted."
"Children of all ages are in for a real treat when visiting the Fleet Science Center. From virtual reality to interactive exhibits and the world’s first IMAX Dome Theater, most folks are having too much fun to realize they’re learning!. In the IMAX Theater, see the biggest films on the planet and feel the sensation of floating in space."
