    Great seafood, great service and a spectacular view of downtown San Diego. I had grilled swordfish and my husband had the halibut dish, both excellent. I will definitely return to this restaurant next time I am in town.

    Beautiful historic venue with views of San Diego Bay from almost every table. The views- continually changing from catamarans to Aircraft carriers. History- the dining room is in the shape of the State of California. The beacon of light has been shining on the bay for almost 100 years. It is maintained by the Coast Guard. Food- delicious and beautifully presented. We had mussels, fried oysters, grilled peppers, beet salad, and the Yellow tail fish. We were pleased with all of our selections. You can also order seafood individually. Server Alicia was quite informative and attentive. Thank you for a pleasingly memorable afternoon/evening.

    Great place for locals and to take friends and family. Some beach front establishments are a gimmick, but world famous is a beautiful waterfront spot with delicious food, great service, and reasonable prices. We come often for brunch on the weekends and always bring our out of town guests!
