Why we love it

Executive chef: Deborah Scott

Sweeping water views and creative seafood, like everything-crusted ahi and a lobster and fontina BLT, set this bayside charmer apart. Not to mention a shaded patio, complete with heaters and a fireplace, which might be the prettiest outdoor dining space on Harbor Island.

    La comida mala y porciones muy pequeñas, precios elevados para lo que es, les pedí que me cambiaran a mesa en las orillas y no me hicieron caso además de que no estaba al pendiente la mesera

    It had been a couple years since we were here. Every time is a pleasure. From the view of San Diego bay, food and service are always great.

    Noise level was NOT energetic, but over-the-top so loud that we had to shout at one another. And we were outside at lunch time. I would hate to be inside at nighttime. The view is spectacular and the food very good (warm spinach salad) but the noise level made it a less than pleasant experience.

    Great place to go and have a nice dinner, much more casual than island prime. Love the lobster bisque, the Wagyu appetizer needed more seasoning. Overall, I would return.

    Service was good and salads were great. One complaint…the coconut shrimp was terrible. Clearly frozen in a factory, delivered to restaurant and warmed. I’ve had better shrimp in Kansas restaurants. I know the shrimp isn’t local however, you can do better.

    Good happy hour prices and the view is all the desert you will need. Inside can get a bit noisy and I recommend an outside spot weather permitting.

    We were in town to honor my dad, who was buried at Sea with the Navy. Christine was our server and from the moment she introduced herself, she was warm, friendly, and made sure we honored him appropriately. The extra details that she put into making our experience there was the most amazing service I have ever experienced. Anywhere. She is a true gem and an amazing representation of this restaurant.

    This was recommended to us by friends who live in the area. I had reserved an outside table and was expecting waterside,but that was as available and we were offered to wait for one,buy declined. The service was prompt and friendly. The food came quickly. The calamari was good,but not the best we ever had. The stacked seafood salad was better. It was all fine but not spectacular. We have previously dined at Costerra next door and have a better memory
