"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."

"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."

"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."

"SEA180 is a Cohn Group restaurant located inside the new Pier South Resort which sits right on the beach in Imperial Beach. Due to its southern location, it's a lesser known gem but that's probably to the benefit of current fans. The menu is largely seafood-based with items like roasted black mussels with chorizo, shrimp ceviche and macadamia nut crusted local catch of the day."

"This San Diego lunch joint started as a fish market in the early 1960s, but its popularity soared when it started serving the hot seafood lunches originally reserved for employees only. Nowadays, the menu has expanded to include seafood favorites, salads, sandwiches, fish cocktails, sushi and fried treats. Although the restaurant is only open for lunch and early dinner, closing at 6:30 p.m., it remains a San Diego landmark and also made it onto Food Network's "$40 A Day."

"It’ll be hard to miss the chartered fishing boats in view of the restaurant’s entrance but that means you’ve come to the right spot. Along with cases full of ready-to-cook seafood, queue up to the counter and place your order for sushi, shrimp cocktails, seafood sandwiches and fried plates. There’s plenty of outdoor dining and the restaurant also has a dedicated parking lot."

"Located in a brand new building, Point Loma Seafoods is better than ever. Fish is brought in and selected daily by the owners who also claim that there is also no better shrimp on the market than what they sell. Locals have favored this fish and chips place for years, and it's one of San Diego's best places for al fresco dining."

"University HeightsWhat you're getting: Fresh spring rolls ($4.95)Pleasantly chewy rice paper wrappers can barely contain the generous portion of fresh veggies, tofu, and rice noodles inside these seriously healthy yet totally delicious rolls. Two house-made sauces (peanut dip and pineapple sauce) sweeten the deal."

"Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre urban green space featuring natural vegetation zones, planted gardens and walking paths. It is one of the oldest public recreational areas in the country. The park’s Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the site of free weekly concerts."
