Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Spring Valley

"1270 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA Elegant fine-dining chain with a seafood & steak menu, plus a cocktail lounge featuring live jazz"

"San Diego only has a few chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants, and Ironside claims one of them: Jason McLeod, who earned two top marks while working at Chicago's Ria. At Ironside, he presides over the raw bar and seafood menu, which features a shining selection of Kusshi oysters and a gluttonous lobster roll dressed in brown butter mayo—local fisherman catch most of the food and get their own shout-outs on every page. Sample a bit of everything with the $420 "Holy Shit" platter made up of caviar, crudo, ceviche, and a mountain of oysters, mussels and lobster (with a name like that, you know it doesn't disappoint)."

"Well-heeled seafood lovers abound at this Little Italy fixture, where chef Jason McLeod spins out everything from crab cakes and mussels to whole Maine lobsters straight from the tank. Whatever you do, don’t miss the raw bar, a daily-changing menu of peel-and-eat shrimp, ceviche and, of course, oysters. Opt for at least one round of the Ironside Select, an oyster exclusive to the restaurant, which McLeod grows out of Puget Sound."

"In San Diego, you can’t go far without spotting a place specializing in seafood like this spot a walk away from Hotel del Coronado. This waterfront restaurant serves regional seafood delicacies like Maryland-style crab cakes, seafood ceviche, and ahi tuna poke for lunch and dinner. Insider tip: Diners in your group who don’t eat seafood will appreciate their selection of meat and poultry dishes."

"Voted "Best Seafood." Come in and get hooked on the best in fresh, sustainable seafood. Waterfront patio in a historic site, full bar, happy hour, a hyper-local menu and private event rooms. Happy Hour Sunday-Thursday: 3-6pm."

"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."

"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!!"

"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.

"Their onsite restaurant, Oceana Coastal Kitchen, features an amazing view and a jellyfish aquarium in the restaurant. Highly recommend this spot for a seafood dinner, or plan to enjoy breakfast with a view."

"Jake's Del Mar has been popular with residents and visitors for many years. The restaurant is located right on the sand and open daily for lunch, happy hour, and dinner as well as Sunday brunch. Jake's also has a very large selection of gluten-free menu options available at all times."

"The restaurant is casual, but remains elegant for your romantic dinner out. Due to its location, parking can be difficult, but the restaurant does provide valet parking that we suggest to take advantage of. Jake’s Del Mar is built to highlight the floor to ceiling views of the ocean."

"Only Highway 101 separates this Cardiff restaurant from the beach. Equally impressive are the views of San Elijo Lagoon bordering the other side of the building. Like the other restaurants in this chain, the food focuses on Mexican dishes like fish tacos plus a wealth of healthy options."

"For over 70 years, Anthony’s Fish Grotto has been serving up sensational steak and seafood in San Diego.Foodies rave over the La Mesa restaurant overlooking a tranquil pond while devouring the popular salmon Reuben with Loise dressing on marble rye. Try Mama Ghio’s famous New England clam chowder, a favorite since she started doling out the luscious concoction to hungry customers in 1946. Anthony’s is a dining delight that serves more than five-star seafood within an airy, welcoming ambiance."

"Although this Del Mar fish market has come a long way since its inception (as a humble case operated by one man) in 1974, its commitment to high-quality seafood remains. Today, that takes the form of a wide variety of sautéed and chargrilled catches, from local yellowtail and thresher shark to Mexican octopus and Idaho rainbow trout.

"Fish and chips headlines the menu at this family-owned and operated Oceanside eatery with views of the harbor. For non-fried options, consider the grilled fish plate seasoned with butter, garlic or herb seasoning. Outdoor seating is first-come, first-served."

"Of course, you’ll want to eat some fresh seafood during your San Diego vacation. The Fish Market is the perfect choice for fish-loving families. Children enjoy watching chefs cooking entrees on a flaming grill from behind a wall of glass."

"Billing itself an "organic health bar," this little cafe in the heart of La Jolla's village serves natural, organic breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Salads and wraps can be made to order, with customers checking off the items they want; each item comes with a symbol signifying whether it's organic, vegan and/or gluten-free. Specialties include the Acai Bowls, which include the trendy fruit along with strawberries, mango, coconut, granola and soy milk; fresh fruit smoothies; and protein shakes."

"This includes some of the basic types of coffee, such as espresso and cappuccino. But they also have specialty coffees that are amazing. For example, they have a Banana Cappuccino."

A post shared by Coffee & Tea Collective (@candtcollective) on Jan 23, 2020 at 6:01am PST. Coffee & Tea Collective debuted its flagship coffee shop in North Park, and has since opened up a second location in East Village."

"North Park and East VillageUpon opening in an unexpected stretch of El Cajon Blvd a few years ago, Coffee & Tea Collective’s small-batch roastery and tasting room quickly became a destination for serious local coffee lovers. The no-frills minimalist design to the space keeps the focus on what’s important: the coffee. They are all about quality and utilizing pour over brewing methods to produce a consistently great cup of joe."

"Coffee & Tea Collective Downtown is as cozy a coffee shop as can be. Their blank canvas of a design allows for the warmth and creativity of our surrounding community to grace its interior. They have a pretty sweet “How To San Diego” T-Shirt too."

"Filippi's Pizza Grotto has been family owned and operated since 1950 and all the food is prepared using traditional family recipes that restaurant founder Vincent DePhilippis brought with him from Italy. There is a good selection of traditional Italian pizzas and the menu also offers lighter fare like soup, salads, and sandwiches. There are a number of pasta dishes as well, including spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna, and macaroni."

"Filippi’s has one thing that the others do not and that’s a freaking parking lot!. That should bring a huge smile to your face knowing you can just pull in and park versus circling the blocks like a vulture hoping someone might leave. Second, they check every box for what you think an old school Italian restaurant should be."

"Little Italy offers an abundance of Italian restaurants, which is no surprise. It’s tough to narrow down recommendations with so many scrumptious menus. But if I could send you for one dinner in this delightful area of San Diego, adjacent to downtown, I would direct you to Filippi’s Pizza Grotto."

"A photo posted by Donut Panic (@donutpanicsd) on Jan 11, 2017 at 6:16am PST. “Donut Panic”about eating amazing donuts from this little shop on Mission Gorge Road because they are organic and in San Diego, we love the organic, healthy options – even when it comes to eating donuts!. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, Donut Panic offers 100% vegan donuts and bagels, and during the rest of the week they have traditional desserts and old fashioned donuts."

"Besides a clever name, Donut Panic is also great at glazed donuts. Along with traditional donuts, they offer vegan creations such as chocolate espresso almond, Earl Grey, maple bacon glaze, and even rosewater cardamom. Baker Linda Dami combines potato flakes mixed with flour, soy milk, sugar, salt, oil, and yeast."

"Address: 6171 Mission Gorge Rd, Ste 113, San Diego, CA 92120. Neighborhood: Grantville. Don’t panic when you see the donuts at Donut Panic...their donuts taste just as good as they look!"
