Jon B.November 24, 2017Fresh seafood in an atmosphere that harkens back to a Miami supper club. Crab cakes are a must have to start, and the red king crab legs... no butter needed!
DenetteApril 14, 2014Nice place! Had amuse bouche seaweed salad (amazing!) an oyster sampler( yummy), calamari (was ok) the kid dynamite fish. Good drinks. Baked Alaska is fun and yummy! (Overall I like Blue Point better)
Sandy PriceMarch 12, 2018Great food, wonderful desert and the staff went out of their way to make sure our needs and wishes were taken care of. Great place to have dinner with family and friends.
Guy DahanOctober 7, 2013By far the best dinner I've had in years. Service was great, atmosphere was perfect, and every course was amazing. Plus the waiter dropped some great knowledge on the dishes. They know their seafood
Christina ChinJuly 24, 2017Fantastic seafood albeit $$$. Service was good, fancy ambiance. Hashbrown is yum! And brussel sprouts side is so crispy!
By far the WORLDS BEST Crabcake. Make sure you have one. PS..This restaurant was just sold to Landrys. The portions have dropped by 2 ounces per fish dish. Hurry and get the crabcake before they c
Seph M.August 31, 2014If you like raw oysters (and you should), do yourself a favor and order a chef's choice assortment. The Paradise Island oysters are particularly wonderful. Light and creamy.
Pamela VoigtJune 11, 2014Ask for Ken..the waiter. He is EXCELLENT. Definitely try the crab cakes and the Key Lime pie. Appetizers ate huge but great to share with 3-4 people.
Natalie S.December 21, 2013Brussel sprouts and cream corn. NZ sea bass and the Butterfish dynamite style and it was also good choices. Special occasion go for the baked Alaska for pizazz.
Sheila EstradaAugust 11, 2017Ask for a booth for a more intimate dinner. Beautiful presentation of dishes and delicious as well. Special anniversary dessert is memorable.
Jessica DeLucaAugust 31, 2013Absolutely Amazing!! Spicy Blue Crab Crusted Mahi Mahi w/ Bok Choy & screaming Rooster Sauce in San Diego
Jo Corpe-WalkerApril 6, 2019Best crabcakes we've found downtown. They have a great happy hour, however very short from 5:00-6:00.
Peggy GartinJanuary 2, 2013If you tell them there's a birthday when you make a reservation, they'll print HAPPY BIRTHDAY, (YOUR NAME)! on the menu.
Estefania TAugust 26, 2014Very nice restaurant, any oyster you want it is really really delicious !!
Adam MintzJune 24, 2012Get the crab cakes. They are incredible and have very little breading. Ahi tuna is also a great choice. Warning: the desserts are huge!
TheDLFebruary 22, 2015There is nothing special about dinner here. If you can swing happy hour (5p-6p) then that's what I'd recommend because you'll otherwise overspend on a chain-restaurant meal.
Cathy S.June 10, 2016Try their happy hour on Fridays from 5 - 6. There's a fresh oyster bar to sit at while you enjoy the Sangria Prosseco.
Abi PanickerApril 27, 2017Service at the bar has always been great, food never disappoints, check it out
Carol LeeJuly 16, 2012Sit at the oyster bar on Sundays for $1 oysters (good for any oyster priced at $2.25 or less) ALL NIGHT.
Mike PJuly 31, 2011If you have late weekend reservations, temper your expectations. High likelihood that many of the popular items on the menu will be sold out.
Christopher MichaelJuly 7, 2012Oyster selection was excellent and extensive; however, $2.25 for each one is far over-priced!!
Wayne ChartierMay 30, 2012Had the crabcake tonight I would like to call it a crab-cupcake..... Very small fish was awesome.
California BlackFebruary 2, 2011Best Seafood in SD...great crabcakes...TUNA was great..and Asparagus was out of this world...
- Andres CamposJanuary 4, 2015This was once one of San Diego's best, unfortunately they changed chefs and the food was not good, especially for the prices!
Stephen LymanJuly 10, 2011Forget the crab cake. the Kid Dynamite with a glass of Avery cab will blow your mind.
Say hi to JR. The best bartender here!! Tell him i sent u!
Kristen DerbyshireFebruary 15, 2014Worst valentines pre fixe menu. Spent $300 and I feel sick. All food was pre cooked and thrown in the warmer. Don't do valentines there. Otherwise it's good
Jennifer BalankyMarch 26, 2010Sit at the oyster bar and have an expertly made martini while you wait for a table.
