Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Mission Beach

It was our first time there and I loved the vibe, very much my aesthetic so felt very homey! We started with the oysters Rockefeller which were pretty good, the poblano pepper was interesting, I felt they could have been more robust. Will try pickle dip and deviled eggs next time. Did I say I loved the vibe? They nailed that nostalgic past.  We then split the brussels sprouts which were undeniably amazing, I will have these again. I had the fisherman‘s catch, which was a rockfish and the grits, well as a Southerner the grits weren’t quite up to my standards, the corn nuts were cool and the fish was buttery and so well prepared, but I felt the flavor was more flat. It was definitely a lot of fish though excellent for the price point. My husband had the lentil sloppy Joe ands hands down was so incredible and I will get this next time. We then finished off with a strawberry shortcake, I loved the brown butter (could have used more?) and the strawberries, the mascarpone added a little more sourness than I was expecting, I think I’ll go for the grasshopper pie next time. We will definitely be back and really enjoyed this gem. Did I mention they were playing one of my favorite cult classics clueless on the TV?

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.

Mary was awesome. She was pleasant and friendly. She knew both beverages and food well and made great suggestions. The atmosphere is welcoming . This was my second time and plan to eat here whenever I am in San Diego.

Very simple yet good ambiance and food choices. The place was beatifully decorated

We had a great time! Our server was awesome. I wish I could remember her name. The food was delicious. There was a  band playing inside so we sat outside on the heated patio. It was fun and lovely. The drinks were great.
