About Lionfish Modern Coastal Cuisine – San Diego

Located in the Pendry San Diego, Lionfish Modern Coastal Cuisine provides a modern and sophisticated ambiance that pairs well with its creative and diverse cocktail menu. The restaurant features various seating styles and boasts beautiful high ceilings. The "Figs In the Rye" was a standout drink, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors. The bartender is skilled and passionate about mixology, making the atmosphere vibrant yet relaxed, ideal for enjoying a drink. On the downside, service can be slow and inattentive, with some items forgotten. The hostess was not very friendly and guests have noted long wait times for tables and food. However, the food quality remains excellent, particularly the tuna pizza and signature whole fish, with the oysters being a highlight. While some diners feel the pricing is slightly high for “fusion” styled dishes, many still find Lionfish worth a visit for its exceptional dishes and welcoming ambiance.
