- DDianneVIPTahoe / Reno Area •28 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoShared a bluefin carpaccio followed by a quinoa salad with grilled fresh sea bass. Delicious. Sat at the bar and although the bartender was very busy, we never felt ignored. They had some nice wines by the glass and the Banjuls he suggest did go perfectly with the lemon tart. Highly recommendMore infoThe FisheryPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Pacific Beach•4.8

- MMelissaSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 1, 2025Our experience was perfect! My friend and I went here to celebrate our birthdays together. We each ordered two drinks. Friend got the Dreamsickle and I ordered the Mexican Point Break margarita. We shared the Short Rib. It was delicious! My second drink didn’t look or taste like the first and I told the waitress. She offered to take it back and have them make another. The second drink was perfectly delicious like the first. For dessert, they gave us complimentary churro beignets. They were superb! Loved the white and caramel dip but the chocolate one tasted artificial. We were offered a scoop of ice cream as well but it never came. No matter as we were plenty full! Service was not overly quick but it worked for us as we sat there for three hours catching up and never felt rushed. Tables on either side of us came and went but we were never hurried along. I have been wanting to try this spot for quite some time and can’t wait to return to try more of their comfort food. It was really hard to choose and the food they brought to other tables looked enticing. We were very happy with our large portion of short rib though. I’ll be back!!More infoPacific Beach HideawayPrice: Moderate• American• Pacific Beach•4.7
