Dockside 1953 is exactly what you imagine when you want a relaxing meal by the beach. Located in the Bahia Resort, the restaurant delivers excellence in terms of cuisine and service. The plating of our coconut snapper ceviche, pan seared petrale sole, and blackened tuna steak were incredible, and the flavor matched. We also really enjoyed the watermelon breeze and spring cleaning cocktails. We sat on the dog friendly patio. Safer to make a reservation. Recommend!
Perched on the edge of Mission Bay at the Bahia Resort, Dockside 1953 offers a refreshed blend of mid‑century nautical charm and modern California cuisine. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by yacht‑club–inspired décor—think teak‑style tabletops, brass accents, and maritime artwork—that sets a relaxed yet sophisticated tone.

I loved the atmosphere and ambiance especially having the dock view!! Unfortunately the food I ordered didn’t taste like much, very bland and no flavor only thing I enjoyed was the fruit. I had the fish tacos and a crab roll. I’d probably try other food items if I ever go again. The service was amazing though 10/10.
