The Best G&T EVER! House made tonic, Amazing! -Oysters; lovely- bluefin tuna; stringy- peach salad; okay-pasta;pleasant. VERY LOUD MUSIC.Service, pleasant but inattentive. I didn’t care for the white wines, but I was offered a taste, thankfully! I do not get what all the fuss is about!?!

Some of the best bites I’ve had down in SD. Cocktails are not great but the food was amazing. Cute vibe, amazing food, good service. I’m 100% going again and I’d put it in my top 10 SD spots

**ABSOLUTELY loved coming here!**
This summer, I’ve been on a mission to rediscover great happy hours around San Diego—especially those with amazing oyster deals. I randomly heard about **Mabel’s Gone Fishing** as a spot to check out, and on a whim, my little one and I decided to stop by right at 4 PM.
We didn’t have a reservation but arrived just in time to grab a seat outside. The outdoor setup immediately gave off a charming European vibe—reminiscent of a Paris café, with chairs facing the street, perfect for people-watching. (The decor, chairs, and tables instantly brought back Paris memories!)
**Big tip: Make a reservation**—this place fills up fast!
Even though only the happy hour menu was available (dinner service starts later), it didn’t disappoint. We ordered:
* A dozen oysters (half-price!) * The Spanish tortilla * And we got lucky—they happened to have caviar available!
I paired the oysters with a glass of bubbly Pinot Noir Brut from Catalonia, Spain—absolutely perfect. The gin and tonic cocktail was also refreshing and well-balanced.
Now for the surprise: my 5-year-old daughter, who has a funny and ever-evolving palate, *loved* the bread and butter... but even more shockingly, **devoured the caviar**! A first for her—and possibly a very expensive new habit for me, haha! She even tried an oyster but wasn’t quite ready for the texture—still, she gave it a go.
The oysters were fresh, with a great variety from three different regions. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The sommelier (who was also working the host stand!) was fantastic and clearly passionate about the wine list. Bonus: many of their wine selections are available for purchase next door.
I’ll definitely be coming back before summer ends—this time for dinner!

Top notch great food! The seafood paella was my favorite.
I've never had such incredibly thoughtful food in a restaurant that has the same feeling as a close friend's kitchen.

One of the most delicious meals of my life. All dishes were well thought out and expertly prepared. I love Spanish food and this place hits the mark. The server was cool, smart and so attentive. It’s crowded is my only critique, but I completely understand why. I live in LA and will definitely be back!
