“Their Monday happy hour offers great value, with a menu featuring plenty of options that we thoroughly enjoyed. The calamari strips were a bit too oily for my preference, but still acceptable. The potato skins were delicious, and the onion rings were very tasty. The potato nachos were a delightful surprise. Overall, I would definitely recommend their happy hour; it was a pleasant experience.“

They offer some home made salsas and pickled chiles that taste so good! The best of all was the service, the gentleman serving the food was very friendly and generous 10/10“

“Pero mad Chingona! The shrimp basket was excellent. My guy brought me another beer since the kitchen was taking forever. 5/5. This place gets it and there is no better seafood on the peninsula!“

“Fun!! Oysters were the bomb!!“

“I've traveled all over the world and every 5 star restaurant. I have never eaten a better Crab cake anywhere as well as the finest Chilean sea bass And the calamari was superb. Crystal our server and the entire team of servers and hosts were 5 star. Try the fresh lemonade!“

“The food was delicious. The service was so so. They even removed my drink and utensils while I was still eating and did not bother to bring them back. How is a customer supposed to eat hot soup without utensils or a beverage to wash it down? How is a customer supposed to eat the salad bar or hot food with out utensils, napkins or drinks. I even paid $3.59 plus tax for a beverage. I got the all you can eat salad bar. The restaurant had only 3 or 4 tables full and was not busy. However since 1 lady was mopping they forced me out of a clean table into a dirty table. I prepaid my salad barmeal and also paid extra for my soda. I even left a good tip. However they did not even offer me toast and even took so long to come by. Then when they did they took my soda cup and utensils. I was there over 30 minutes.“

“I have been to Fisher’s three times and I am very impressed with the food, service and ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We sat at an outside table so I can't comment on what it would be like sitting inside. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we were there. We had not realized that the restaurant did not have a liquor license so we were initially disappointed about that. The menu had a good variety of crudo to choose from and our server was helpful in answering our questions. Everything we ordered was very good.“

“I really liked their crab cocktail and their shrimp platter“

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“Whether you are a local or a San Diego visitor looking for a place that is nearby but free of the Gas Lamp or Little Italy crowds, try the Desmond. In the Kimpton hotel - but promise - it is not your typical hotel restaurant. Excellent and creative chef, interesting menu, reasonably priced, attentive and delightful staff. What more could you want?! We have been here a few times - and every time we come back to the Desmond, we leave saying, we need to visit more often. It's that good.“

“Amidst the vibrant pulse of downtown San Diego, WaterGrill at 615 J St stands as a beacon of culinary excellence and undeniable charm. On a recent evening, my plans shifted from Italian discontent to the familiar embrace of WaterGrill, a venue that never ceases to impress. The transition was seamless and steeped in relief as we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes and guided to a cozy booth tucked away in the back—a perfect setting for what was to unfold. The service, led by the incomparable Nesha, was nothing short of spectacular. Her effortless candor and keen attention to our dining experience crafted an atmosphere that felt both intimate and celebratory. As a seasoned mortgage broker, I've developed a keen eye for detail and an appreciation for seamless execution—qualities that WaterGrill embodies with finesse. The culinary journey was highlighted by the sublime Chilean Sea Bass and a perfectly seared Filet Mignon, each dish speaking volumes of the skill behind the scenes. The surprise dessert, a sweet gesture orchestrated with style by Nesha, was the cherry on top of an already delightful evening. WaterGrill is not just a restaurant; it’s a study in class, atmosphere, and the art of hospitality. For anyone looking to create core memories around fine dining, this establishment comes highly recommended. The dedication to excellence here mirrors the precision we prize in the mortgage industry, making every visit a reaffirmation of why WaterGrill is a staple in our culinary repertoire.“

“I don't usually give out 5 stars unless it's deserved but, wow this place made me feel like I was living in Japan again! The food tastes exactly the same! I had the teriyaki ribeye steak, my wife had the chicken katsu, and we got a side of tempura & mixed veggies. Will definitely come back again to try something else!“

“I just enjoyed the BEST LOBSTER ROLL on the Planet. Whenever my Daughter and Husband visit LA, they drive all the way to San Diego for Lobster West. Today was my FIRST visit and I TASTED why they drive hours to frequent LW. LEO was absolutely AWESOME with an ASTERISK and nailed everything from professional customer service, genuine demeanor and made my visit A PLUS from Food to conversation, interaction and atmosphere. Leo made every customer who entered feel like they were the only one and has his undivided attention to ensure they left LOOKING forward to returning. I don't often give 5 stars but LW and Leo was 5-Star Plus. Pastor WDB-St. Louis, Mo“

“We ate several meals at Vistal while staying at the Intercontinental Hotel. All were delicious and well prepared using fresh, local ingredients. The Cinnamon Roll Pancakes at breakfast were the best pancakes I’ve ever had! Our server, Reyna, was very attentive, personable and added to the enjoyment of our dining experience. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the bay added even more enjoyment!“

“1st time but not my last!!“

“Highly recommend this place, not only for the delicious food and varied menu, but for outstanding customer service. My wife left her glasses at the table,candy the staff made a point to find out phone number to let us know they had the glasses. We will definitely return when we're in town and recommend it to everyone.“

“The location and set up of the restaurant is great. It is beautiful and set against the moored boats so you can't beat the ambience. The food was good but would not say it is the best in the area and the service was adequate. We were there on a Friday evening so it was crowded meaning that after we were seated, it took about 20 minutes to take our appetizer order. It is fairly expensive but an overall enjoyable experience.“

“first time, won’t be the last, super delish and very good prices“

“Good protein options. I went at a not too busy time of day so I also got to quietly sit and enjoy the meal. I only had the PYOP so I can only say that I enjoyed that, but I am sure everything else on the menu is good as well“

“The first time my friend told me to meet him at TJ Oyster Bar I was not expecting what it turned out to be. I have not had any oysters in the five or six times that I have gone there. The tacos, and tostadas are amazing, especially the smoked tuna. The fried shrimp and fish dishes are delectable. The various choices of sauces to go along with the food is a must try. And to top it off the service has always been extremely friendly and helpful.“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVED!!!!! i went with my family looking for some good mexican seafood we came upon this food truck and WOW it was beyond our expectations, everything is very flavorful and FRESHLY MADE TOSTADAS. everything is made to order, by far the BEST mexican seafood ive ever had.“

“They’re a great family run business. Their food is delicious. Especially the bacon wrapped shrimp. Off the chain. A must go.“
