32 Best Seafood Restaurants near Valley Center

“Another amazing dining experience at our favorite dining spot. Updated menu contains a few delicious additions along with our regular favorites. Specialty cocktails were prepared to perfection. Noise level was a little on the high side, but understandable being that the restaurant was very busy.“

“Great food and the service was amazing.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This buffet is one of my favorites, the food is so delicious, great portions. We always went in a huge group so we need to wait a little bit. The service is almost perfect, they treated us so well except for one person, seems like she doesn’t like us and even speak to us when she had to attend us, all the other personal came and attend us, her name is Teresa, we hope a change just in that situation, but everything else is so great👌🏻“

“Had a nice experience. Food was good i was just suspicious about my habenero chicken cause the inside didn't seem to be well well done, had some pink still but was juicy. Oysters were good and fresh just wish they were bigger and my shrimp boil had just enough flavor. Overall good experience.“

“We always love going to the Brigantine Excellent everything!!! We go frequently to Happy hour also. The general manager is always checking on his guests and very personable.. thank you to him also. We will definitely be back. Great for Escondido to have such an excellent place to dine out.“

“Best fresh Margaritas in town. Good food for take out or dine in . Highly recommend the margaritas“

“On a recent visit to the San Diego/Escondido area, we ate at Craft and Taco Lounge. Since I’m vegan, it was my pick for dinner, and the Vegan Pastor ended up being my favorite. It was so good that I went back the next evening for takeout. I’ve had tacos across Texas and Mexico, and these were among the best I’ve had.“

“We came in after a hard day loading and wanted A great meal they went ahead and made our food even thought it was closing time, they could have told us they were closed! What awesome customer service, beautiful and very clean restaurant! Delicious food! Thank You for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 100 star rating!“

“I think they have the best middle Eastern food in the county. I love their rice. Platters are huge and you'll get three meals out of it - two if you're a big eater! I don't know what they're called but the pickled veggies (part of platters) are amazing and so it their baba ganoush. There is plenty of parking.“

“Perfect, amazing and always awesome. Fast service, nice staff and great food!“

“I stopped in very close to closing to put in a large order for our family after a graduation event. The staff put the order together without a problem and everything was delicious!

I really can't thank the staff enough for taking care of us.“

“Everything we ate was excellent!“

“Best Indian food and friendly service!“

“My favorite restaurant of boiling crab 🦀 🥵“

“This is my FAVORITE Mexican food in all of North County. The food is AMAZING, horchata is amazing, the employees are really kind and I appreciate that they are following COVID guidelines not letting anyone inside...food is either ordered to go or there are a few tables outside you can sit at. Definitely recommend ❤️“

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Chin's Gourmet and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The chef's recommendations were absolutely outstanding - every dish was packed with flavor and prepared perfectly.

The dumplings were some of the best we've had: fresh, delicate, and incredibly flavorful. The green beans were exceptional, cooked to perfection with just the right balance of seasoning and texture. The rice dishes were equally delicious and complemented everything beautifully.

Beyond the food, the service was attentive, welcoming, and made our family feel right at home. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal together.

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Chinese cuisine and aren't sure what to order, trust the chef's recommendations-you won't be disappointed. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Highly recommended!“
