Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Pacific Beach

"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."

"Eddie V’s offers some of the best fine-dining in La Jolla featuing a seafood and steak menu along with a live jazz cocktail bar. What to get: reportedly, the Lobster Tacos are “to die for”. We also think the Bananas foster cake is worth a shot, particularly if you like your desserts served flambe!"

"No longer absent in California's southern-most city, is a rich oyster culture, one that is deeply engrained in other coastal communities spanning from New England to the Pacific Northwest. Filling the local void is Ironside Fish & Oyster, the latest venture from powerhouse San Diego hospitality collective CH Projects in partnership with Michelin-starred Executive Chef Jason McLeod. The approachable raw-bar concept is housed in a stunning 4,500 square-foot, 1920s-era warehouse located in the heart of San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood."

"1654 India St, San Diego, CA 92101(619) 269-3033Reserve a Nautical Table Here$$ | Seafood. Brought to you by the owners of Born & Raised, Ironside is its opposite. Serving some of the finest seafood around for a fair price, this Little Italy spot is sure to make the seafood lovers swoon."

"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."

"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!"

"Based on the Yelp reviews of Bluewater Grill, we decided to put them to the test!. The building appears to have a very similar architecture as the nearby ..."

"It’s one step away from being a dive bar sort of restaurant in Mexico. It feels authentic, it’s funky, it’s slightly not as clean as you would like (which is bonus points when talking authentic Mexican taco shop), and the tacos are awesomely great. The basic fish taco is under $2.50 and for five bucks you can get smoked fish, shrimp and scallops - all in the same taco."

"Oscar's Mexican Seafood is a very popular seafood-based Mexican food eatery 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."

"Big, bold flavors and within budget, Oscars’ three locations are cranking out the best Mexican food in San Diego. They are well known for their hearty Mexican tacos, heaping with fresh fish or shrimp, cabbage, ruby red tomatoes, and huge slices of avocado. Grab extra napkins because these babies are packed!"

"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."

"Located at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa in Mission Beach, this restaurant has a lot going for it: views of Mission Bay, on-point service and seafood for days. Best to kick things off with some sushi and—better yet—to go with the togarashi-seared tuna roll, with crunchy tempura shrimp, crab and spicy garlic ponzu; and the diver scallop roll, with crab, zippy green Sriracha and cucumber.

"The Hotel Del put Coronado on the map in 1888, and now this spot for coastal cuisine is slated to return the venerable resort to the top of culinary pecking order when it opens later this month. Taking the space that housed the turnover-troubled signature restaurant 1500 Ocean, Serea fittingly embraces the sea, on the menu and in the dining room. Clique’s Masi said half of the 220 seats at the 6,000-square-foot restaurant will be outside and he likens the warm, soft décor and color palette of whites, blues, aquas and greys to a very elegant beach house that’s luxurious and relaxing."

"Serea offers sustainable, fresh-catch cooking done in a simple, elegant manner for the ultimate sea-to-table experience. The approachable ocean-friendly menu by Chef JoJo Ruiz is robust with fresh seafood, a raw bar and seasonal ingredients grown by Southern California farmers."

"Mission BayThe bay view from the patio at this upscale (yet laid-back) restaurant located within Paradise Point Resort in Mission Bay is beautiful any time of day, but you get the best return on your investment during sunset. With plentiful parking and easy access to the sand (and fire pits), you can easily turn a dinner or happy hour visit into multiple hours of fun and relaxation, at no extra charge."

"Soda & Swine has two locations, Liberty Station and North Park. Although from their name you wouldn’t guess, they have some over-the-top desserts that will definitely sweeten up your date, from over-indulgent milkshakes to good ol’ fashioned apple pie a la mode."

"Casual dining with an order at the counter approach, this humble and cozy joint offers incredible build-your-own sliders. If you are looking for a casual night with really good food and a craft cocktail after (Polite Provisions), this is your place."

"It’s a known fact that all-white plates make for the best food photos, but lately rustic plates are bucking the trend. Look out for more places like Soda & Swine that are finding new ways to mix up their dish ware."
