"We had an absolutely amazing experience celebrating our 25th anniversary @ Eddie V’s. The service was excellent!. Rose petals on our table, complimentary..."

"Like a nautical version of the yellow brick road, illuminated anchors embedded in the floors of Ironside Fish & Oyster lead you to the Emerald City of raw bars, where the bounteous platters come in Big, Bigger, Biggest, and Holy Sh*t."

"Cool exterior walls like this one outside Ironside are the perfect place to strike a pose. Hope you’ve got yourself an Instagram husband!"

"This local go-to has had its on-the-water Glorietta Bay location across from the Hotel del Coronado for more than 120 years. It serves wonderful surf and turf menu selections in its charming and historic building with some of the best views on the island!. And if you just want a great bar for cocktails, the mahogany bar upstairs is a delight!"

"Ordered the crab sandwich which was good, had a lot of veggies in it, but the crab tasted a bit old, something lacking in the..."

"It hasn't been around that long but some are already claiming that Oscar's Mexican Seafood is the best Mexican in San Diego. A hole in the wall near a smoke shop and a dive bar, this gem is casual with a to-go atmosphere and very little seating. The tacos, which can be upgraded to a burrito for just $1 more, are worth the wait--and there is often a wait."

"I first found this local hole-in-the-wall place 10 years ago. Since then, they have expanded and added 3 other locations and that speaks volumes about their food. While the tacos are delicious, order the shrimp and fish ceviche and their grilled fish – to die for!!"

"There are so many fish taco places in SD that you really gotta do something special to stand out. Or you can just be Oscar’s and develop a cult following over many, many years."

"Located steps from the beach at Mission Bay, Oceana Coastal Kitchen serves a selection of dishes from land and sea using sustainable, fresh ingredients. Highlights include a 25-foot-long cold bar that serves a selection of oysters, fresh sushi, seafood platters and specialty items, such as yellowtail crudo, sesame sea bass ceviche, king crab legs, tuna carpaccio and more. The focal point of the entire restaurant, however, is an 800-gallon aquarium that is home to fluorescent tropical jellyfish."

"The Oceana Coastal Kitchen is housed within the Catamaran Resort Hotel in San Diego. It is an upscale eatery that is known in the area for its spectacular bay views and well-prepared seafood dishes. The restaurant provides weekly specials and a wine and craft beer list."

"This stunning venue is located on the 2nd floor offering views of bustling Orange Ave from their patio out front. They are a modern take on the classic steakhouse offering share-friendly plates that include filets, chops, and an expansive selection of shellfish and crudo as well as salads and wood fire-roasted sides. We recommend checking out their happy hour served daily in the bar and patio from 4:00 – 6:30 pm – a sampling of tasty food and drinks at some great prices!"

"It’ll be hard to miss this two-story restaurant nestled in the heart of Orange Avenue but keep it in mind when you’re in the mood for steak. Specializing in hand-cut steaks like American Waygu, bone-in ribeyes, NY strip and tenderloins, the restaurant fills out the rest of the menu with a variety of traditional steakhouse sides. Insider tip: Enjoy the restaurant’s daily happy hour available 4-6 PM for specially priced drinks and half-off appetizers."

"There was a party of 6 that sat next to us and they were extremely loud and abnoxious. We ended up having to get out dessert..."

"A post shared by Duyen Fenston (@dfenston) on Aug 22, 2016 at 10:23am PDT. You’ll surely be visiting the San Diego Zoo during your trip so why not have brunch while you’re there?. Brunch is served on weekends only, and while reservations aren’t required, they are encouraged."

"What is it: Sleek hotel restaurant overlooking Pacific Beach that's a go-to spot for sushi and weekend brunch. Why go: Set within the sleek Tower 23 boutique hotel, the recently refreshed dining room features cool grey, concrete interiors and enviable beachfront patio alongside the bustling Pacific Beach boardwalk. Weekend brunch hosts a lively scene, while a new raw and sushi bar lures daytime and evening diners with fusion rolls such as the Surf + Turf with wagyu beef carpaccio, spicy scallop, yuzo-miso and a sesame-kale crumble."

"This casual mini-chain with a location in Encinitas proves that you can find worthwhile lobster rolls on the West Coast. Along with made-to-order rolls filled with imported Maine lobster, the shop also serves versions filled with scallops, crab or shrimp. Flights of soup, coleslaw, baked beans, and salads fill out the rest of the menu."

"Azucar, a bakery that also offers coffee, tea and more in Ocean Beach, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 870 Yelp reviews. Head over to 4820 Newport Ave. (between Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Cable Street) to see for yourself."

"The Blind Burro is one of the more creative and colorful places in the city. It's also one of the best places for cheap eats in San Diego. A lively spot with plenty of Mexican spec..."

"Monello serves cuisine inspired by the contemporary street food of Milan, including appetizers, handcrafted pastas, pizzas, and meat and seafood entrees. House specialties include veal ravioli and butternut squash gnocchi, and Tuesdays and Wednesdays bring the opportunity to try a specialty pasta or risotto dish cooked in a 40-pound half wheel of cheese. Happy hour is held every day of the week between 4 p.m."

"Although San Diego is generally known for its casual dress code and easy attitude, Monello is a place worth dressing up for. The Milanese restaurant is most famous for its cheese wheel, which they heat, melt, and toss pasta on. Divine, yes—but if you think that's indulgent, drop in on Wednesdays, when they sub out pasta for risotto."

"Since 1994, Asti Ristorante offers an Italian fine dining experience in the heart of the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter . Asti is rated by Zagat Survey 2009. Professional service, elegant interiors, excting outdoor patio and outstanding Italian cuisine, garant"

"This isn't your average cinnamon roll, in more ways than one. The cinnamon rolls are all DIY with frosting flavors like cake batter and coffee and toppings like cookie dough and Oreo cookies. The cinnamon rolls are also completely vegan."

"The buzz:Roman-style pizza, served by the slice.The food: The newest member of the Buona Forchetta family, Gelati & Peccati, is modeled after the walk-up pizzerie and gelati shops common in Rome. High-hydration dough ferments for 72 hours, and is baked in sheet pans for light, airy, and crispy crusts. Sold al taglio, or “by the cut,” there’s dozens of combinations that rotate throughout the day, and while it’s difficult to pick favorites, standouts include luxurious Lussuria with mozzarella, caciocavallo, guanciale, and fresh truffle or simple marinara; cherry tomatoes, oregano, basil, and garlic."

"North ParkAt Gelati & Peccati, you’ll have to walk past an eye-popping array of Roman-style pizza, sold a taglio, “by the cut,” to reach the bins of gelati in the back, but isn’t eating dessert first one of the pleasures of adulthood?. Eighteen different rotating signature and seasonal flavors, including vegan and sorbet options, are bursting with roasted pistachios, sweet cherry, and chocolate, or boozy, earthy Makers Mark 46. Don’t worry if you’re too full for pizza afterwards; you can always take a few slices home for a late night snack."

"Roman-style pizza and gelato meet at this spot in North Park. Helmed by the Buona Forchetta Family of restaurants, this shop serves 18 flavors of gelato. For a combination of carbs and cream, order the GOLA: gelato stuffed into a pizza crust with whipped cream and hazelnuts."
