4 Best Seafood Restaurants near Valley Center

“Date of visit was September 6, ‘25. Absolutely fantastic from the moment you walk up to the outside of the restaurant. Walk in the door and you feel you will have a good experience. Immediately asked if we were celebrating anything before we were even seated at our table. Once we were at our table, the service was top-notch, pleasant and enjoyable. Our waiter treated us like we were his friends even though we had just met. Service was prompt. Glasses were refilled with beverages without need of asking. Very knowledgeable about the food. The atmosphere top-notch, wonderful seating, great ambience. Even down to the flatware and dishes. They were the same ones. I’ve seen them used on a show. Very nice. Chairs very comfortable to sit in. The food absolutely did not disappoint. We had the lobster risotto, which had me asking why I hadn’t had anything like that before in my life. The scallops wonderful. My fillet absolutely scrumptious, cooked to perfection. Asparagus, crab for my steak topper wonderful. Dessert the Chocolate Mousse wonderful with the chocolate gelato, so rich and fulfilling. The signature dessert from Gordon Ramsay of sticky toffee pudding was divine. Also very rich and decadent.

Coming away from the experience the meal was wonderful. I loved being there and would not hesitate to go back in the future. Yummmmmy!!!!!!“

“We celebrated my mom’s 75th birthday at Salt & Fin, and it couldn’t have been a better choice! From the moment we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly and seated us right away. Our waitress, Gina, provided absolutely outstanding service — attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was perfect for such a special occasion.

The food was equally amazing. The red snapper we ordered was especially memorable — cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Every dish came out just right, and you could tell care was put into both presentation and taste.

What truly made the evening special was how the entire experience came together: excellent service, fantastic food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Most importantly, my mom was incredibly happy, which made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend Salt & Fin for anyone looking for a place to celebrate something special!“

“Never had been to Harrah's So Cal but attended a concert there last night with dinner before at Salt & Fin. Honestly, dinner was better than the concert and that was pretty darn good, too. Waited about 15 minutes for two spots at the Oyster Bar but ended up deciding to go with a table so we could order from both the Bar and restaurant menus. Had oysters two ways and they were scrumptious and obviously fresh. As was the two sushi rolls we probably over ordered after having the delicious sautéed bok choi, too. Needless to say, we decided against desert! Overall, I think this was the best choice out of Gordon Ramsey and a steak restaurant on either side of Salt & Fin. Kudos to Rachel and Jen for superlative service and for just being nice people! Not sure if I'm ever going back to Harrah's but dinner here might be reason enough!“

“Great food and the service was amazing.“
