What a great place. We went in shorts and tees and no one looked twice at us but there were also people dressed up.Kid-friendliness: We took our 13 y.o. in and he also loved it.

When all you want is a nice lunch on the patio overlooking the bay and all they have is an extremely overpriced $72 brunch.

The restaurant is very nice. Beautiful view. I called and made reservations for 5:00 and we were able to sit next to a window. It was too chilly to sit outside. My husband and I shared the braised short rib and potatoes. It was very good. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture. We also had the brownie with ice cream and crème brûlée.

We had a wonderful experience at Tom Ham's. Although the staff didn't attend to our table in a timely manner, the brunch buffet was open, so it wasn't a problem at all. We happily helped ourselves to juice drinks in the meantime. The food was delicious but the dessert was amazing with plenty of options to choose from. While the place was slightly messy and some utensils had dry food residue on them, it didn't detract from our enjoyment. The view was stunning, especially from the outdoor seating area, which we higly recommend. It's also a great place for families with kids. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. We're definitely planning to return.

Dinner was good. The only thing that could improve the dining experience would be to at least offer bread and crackers to go with the soup.The staff was very friendly and polite. The view of San Diego makes it all the better,

6% Surcharge= Lame. Learn how to run you business--like a business. Why alienate customers when there's already a sales tax and tip expected? Completely ridiculous.

What an AMAZING View of San Diego downtown at sunset and nightfall.My catch of the day dinner, a whole Red Snapper, was AWESOME; I ate the whole damn thing mixed with the beans, except for the head! It was grilled to perfection and beautifully displayed.According to my wife, this was the BEST meal we had [I shared some] for our 5-day stay in San Diego. She had the other dish in the photos along with oysters. I, on the other hand, had no interest in not being able to chew my food.

Went there for my wife and I 35th wedding anniversary, thinking it was dress up atmosphere, it was actually a street clothing place, casual at best. Not impressed, 70's music was playing at the time. Not a nice place for a special occasion/date. Food was fair, diffently not worth the price though. Noisy inside, folks trying to speak above music. Outside was better. Shrimp had no flavor. Waitress seemed not very enthusiastic about serving, helpful at the minimal.

Food was very good. Service could have been a touch better, wrong food delivered took forever to get it back. But I would return here

My husband and I went to Tom Hams for Easter brunch. It was fantastic! The options were wide and their seafood bar was amazing! They had great service, the food quality was above average and the atmosphere and view were spectacular! I'm definitely going back next year and may go for a Sunday brunch sometime. The price person beats most other brunch establishments. Highly recommended!

If I could leave a 10 star review, I would. This place was absolutely incredible!! The food is amazing. All the appetizers were delicious. Highly recommend the gnocchi "adult Mac and cheese" and the fried cauliflower. The beer braised short rib melts in your mouth. The chef, Kyle had done an amazing job creating a fabulous menu with the best of the best ingredients! Whether it be a family grtting dinner or reserving for a special occasion, I highly recommend this place! The staff was phenomenal as well!! We will definitely return.
