Outdoor Romantic Restaurants in San Diego
"Nine-Ten is all about California style, from the contemporary detailing of the dining room to the creative menu. Every plate is vibrant with fresh produce from small local farms which means that the menu is seasonal, though favorites like Jamaican Jerk Pork Belly (the chef's mother's recipe), braised short ribs and half-baked chocolate cake remain almost year-round. Chef Jason Knibb, who trained under masters such as Wolfgang Puck, has a deft hand with sous-vide cooking."

"910 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 964-5400Make Your Reservations Here$$ | Seasonal Cuisine. In the Grande Colonial Hotel, there is a Michelin reviewed restaurant named Nine-Ten. They interestingly don’t have a set style of cuisine."
"One of the most popular fine dining La Jolla restaurants is definitely Eddie V’s. It’s popular for date nights but we also like the happy hour on the Pacific Ocean view patio. You’ll dine on some of the finest seafood and hand-cut steaks with panoramic ocean views in the cozy dining room, intimate bar (with live jazz music) or on the outdoor terrace."

"1270 Prospect Street San Diego, CA 92037(858) 459-5500Make Your Reservations Today$$$$ | Seafood. First, the charismatic vibes will draw you in. Then the friendly host will kindly ask you if you have reservations (which I recommend you have)."
"Given the lines you’ll almost inevitably find at the original Puesto—an authentic taqueria so beloved, it’s expanding into a small SoCal empire—you may well be discouraged. But don’t be: Simply put your name down, walk the two blocks to the beach..."
"The La Jolla outpost of Puesto is a bit smaller than some of the others but packs the same punch in offering quality Mexican food with inventive, modern twists. Lesser-known is that they have recently ramped up their dessert options."
"Formerly known as Giulio's of Pacific Beach, Jack & Giulio's Italian Restaurant has been providing guests with authentic, high-quality Italian food since 1961. The specialty here is the shrimp scampi, but the menu also offers a good assortment of delectable appetizers, freshly made salads, meat entrees, and other seafood dishes. There are also a number of specialty pasta dishes that the restaurant makes from scratch; gluten-free substitutions are offered for some of these dishes."
"Just across the bay in quaint Coronado, you will find Leroy’s Kitchen + Lounge. It isn’t hard to make their food look good, so even the most novice ‘grammer will capture some excellent shots while enjoying delicious craft cocktails and a seasonal menu dedicated to locally-sourced, sustainable food. The prima verbena cocktail is pretty in pink and the mac ‘n’ cheese is served in its own cast-iron skillet (and what’s more Instagrammable than a cast-iron skillet?)"
"This restaurant focuses on bringing farm-to-table dining to the island of Coronado. The menu changes seasonally to offer guests the freshest dishes. I recommend trying Poke Tacos and the Blistered Shishito Peppers."
"Outdoor dining is currently available at this Gaslamp establishment but you can get almost the same experience at home with their takeout dinner. Choose from faves such as their famous black cod with miso, Japanese waygu and even nigiri. Pickup or delivery is available."
"Like Nobu locations all over the world, Nobu San Diego offers an upscale fine dining sushi experience with a classy atmosphe..."
"Get your stomach rollercoaster-ready or if you’re still feeling the heat of your Ocean Beach tacos, just take a nice long stroll along the Boardwalk. Looking for a SIM Card in the USA?. If you’re visiting from overseas and want to pick up a SIM Card for calls and data while you’re away, I highly recommend TelAway. The number of SIM companies to choose from is baffling but Telaway arranged my SIM card very quickly, the set up was non-existent (put it into your unlocked phone and you’re up and running) and included so much data (UNLIMITED!) I could even stream Netflix on long train journeys."
"The cement pathway lining the sand from the southern end of Mission Beach north to Pacific Beach is always bustling with activity. Cyclists…"
"A stylish, sophisticated offshoot of the beloved Clayton’s Coffee Shop — the 1940s embodiment of Americana — owner Mary Frese’s passion project will feature vintage recipes from around the globe. When it opens around mid-June, expect charcuterie, cheese, homemade soups, baguette sandwiches and artisan breads and a wide range of pastries and desserts, from Danish butter cookies, to Kiwi pizzelle, baklava, naked cakes, doughnuts to croissants. Just like grandma used to make, but in an upscale setting of Carrara marble tabletops, wrought iron, traditional bistro chairs, decorative and subway tiles and an intricate copper ceiling."
"There are two Clayton’s in town, the coffee shop and this bakery and bistro. I don’t know if they are related, but I do know that the Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro. It is one of the best places to grab a delicious Coronado Breakfast."
"It's not a full diner, but the line is short, you order at the front, take your seat, and your food comes out pretty quick...."
"Globe-trotting chef Junya Watanabe fuses food and art with a westernized take on Japanese classics at his Kearny Mesa and more recently opened Little Italy sushi restaurants. Here you’ll find Instagrammers charmed by intricately constructed vegan sushi while hungry patrons slurp up silky, handmade ramen noodles floating in a creamy dashi. Celebrate seasonality with a chef’s selection bento box available for take-out exclusively at The Yasai’s Little Italy location."
