    The restaurant is gorgeous! We sat on the wall, near the water. Our wait person was terrific. The outside area is definitely noisy and prices have risen quite a lot, so the value is not what it used to be. The free birthday dessert was delicious!

    tom Ham's Lighthouse is a spacious restaurant set in a stunning overwater venue with great views of the San Diego harbor. The service was outstanding. The New England clam chowder was rich and full of clam meat. Their quirky version of a Shrimp Louie was a little off-putting. While the ingredients were good by themselves, getting two wedges of iceberg lettuce instead of having it shredded meant either a tedious process of cutting it up or enjoying the ingredients sequentially. I would definitely go to this restaurant again when in next in San Diego, but would search for a different entee.

    This was our first visit to the restaurant part of the Bali Hai. We had visited the casual bar the previous evening and had such a good time, we resolved to book a table for the full meal experience. Bali Hai has an awesome location with excellent views across the water to downtown San Diego. It has a rich and interesting history and as Tiki culture fans, it was an absolute must do during our trip. We were very optimistic, but have been disappointed before with overhyped venues. However we needn't have worried as Bali Hai exceeded all of our expectations! Firstly the staff are lovely and helpful. Next our table had gorgeous views of San Diego. Now to the drinks, we recommend the signature Mai Tais which are off the charts perfection (very strong and a limit of 2 per person, although only one is required!). Then the food is so exceptional with beautiful presentation and amazing flavours! To cap it off the atmosphere is lovely - it's like being whisked away to a beautiful Polynesian island! We found the cost to be excellent value for the quality of food and drinks as well as the stunning location and quality of the experience. Mahalo! Bali Hai, we have wonderful memories and look foward to returning soon!
