Catch the waves
2530 South Coast Highway 101
San Diego, CA 92007

This place is pure romance and pure ambience. It is the place to take that special someone and gaze into each others eyes while the ocean waves crash against the shoreline and the moon reflects upon the sand. Believe it or not, this is not a movie, it is a restaurant, where every table affords a magnificent view and the menu offers fresh seafood entrees as well as pasta, chicken and steak. Entrees range from USD15-35. A good wine list is also available.
