Experience Hawai |
2230 Shelter Island Drive San Diego, CA 92106 United States +1 619 222 1181 http://www.balihairestaurant.com/ |
Here's your chance to savor Hawaiian cuisine and a tropical ambience in San Diego. Enjoy a delicious meal against the spectacular San Diego skyline at Bali Hai. This restaurant is perfect for celebrating special occasions or for an intimate dinner. Open for lunch as well as dinner, it is also a great place for weddings and other special events. But the best time to be here is at Sunday brunch. A trip here has become a Sunday ritual for most boat owners. Tip: If you're coming by boat, come early or you'll have to dock too far out.

Visit During Happy Hour |

Located at the Bay Club Hotel & Marina, this restaurant lies in the heart of the city. Relax over cocktails or beer after a hectic day of sightseeing. The menu is pretty diverse and includes seafood, steaks and pasta dishes. More than the spectacular view of the city, it's the happy hours (4p to 7p, Monday-Friday) that keeps this place packed. Complimentary starters and special cocktails are also served during this time. It has banquet facilities as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Enjoy a wonderful view of the marina and the San Diego International Airport as you dine on delightful seafood at this upstairs restaurant. What the kitchen cannot find in San Diego, the chefs fly in fresh from all over the world. Enjoy Northwest Salmon in a mustard seed crust, paired with a bright citrus and watercress sauce. Or go wild mixing cuisines with the Boathouse Savannah Pasta, blending scallops and shrimp in a sauce made of Mexican tequila, Japanese soy sauce and California garlic, served over Italian linguini.

Food with a view |
2803 Emerson Street San Diego, CA 92106 United States +1 619 224 1134 |
The food is great and so are the boat and people watching. This "little" place is located on the boardwalk next to H&M Landing, one of the busiest sport-fishing docks on the West Coast. Seating consists of five outside stools that overlook the sport-fishing boats. If you are late catching your boat, order the Grab & Go sub. If time permits, enjoy fresh soup, salad, cold beer or a glass of wine. Other items are grilled Panini subs, breakfast sandwiches, malts, shakes and smoothies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Local Favorite |
2912 Shelter Island Dr San Diego, CA 92106 United States +1 619 224 2401 http://www.miguels-cocina.com |
You will not find "Mexican lite" served here. Instead, this is good soul-satisfying Mexican food. You will find enchiladas smothered with sauce and cheese, as well as tostada supremes laden with sour cream and guacamole. Do not forget to ask for the special "white sauce" with the chips and salsa—all the locals do! With good food, friendly service and a full bar, this small restaurant has become a San Diego favorite. Without reservations, expect to wait an hour on weekend nights. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great food and menu |
10821 Via Cascabel San Diego, CA 92106 United States +1 619 224 3568 |
Some people who live as far away as L.A. have been known to travel to this eatery on a regular basis. It is definitely worth the trip because the menu is astounding! The restaurant offers more than 200 dishes on the menu and happily the dishes are all prepared without the dreaded MSG. Anything you order will be memorable, but if you have ever tasted the sweet-and-succulent Sauteed Lobster Tail, you too will travel from all points for an encore. The specialty is traditionally-prepared Peking Duck. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Twinkling lights |
2910 Canon Street San Diego, CA 92106 United States +1 619 222 5888 |
A romantic evening is in store at this homey, yet tastefully decorated small restaurant in an unassuming part of San Diego. Candlelight flickers bathe you with soft light as you sit at your white linen table set with silver and fine crystal. Al fresco dining on the garden patio is also available. Live piano music on weekends lends even more romance to this setting, as do the embers in the fireplace. The cuisine is strictly Italian. Also offered is a full bar, offering over 40 wines by the glass. Review © 2007, Wcities |
