Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Mission Beach

Fantastic 7 AM King Tide experience with waves crashing against the windows. The Holiday Brunch Buffet was fantastic. All preparation and presentation far exceeded expectations. Food was most delicious. Service also great! Beef was exceedingly tender. Omelets also great and a super seafood table. The only possible thing as an improvement world be to add a belt style toaster to allow for higher bagel toast capacity. Dessert choices were also fantastic. We could not have been more satisfied. We’ll return for sure. Thank you.

We usually come here during the day for the view, but the food is always on point, so we tried it for an evening celebration. December in San Diego is not the typical winter weather, so we sat outside, and with all the heaters, the temperature was perfect. As always, the food did not disappoint, and our server was wonderful!!! It's of our favorite places on the water!

Dockside 1953 went above and beyond to give us an amazing anniversary experience. The food and drinks were outstanding!! The atmosphere was simply beautiful!! Our server and the manager did everything in their power to make sure we had an extra special evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant—it is definitely a hidden gem in San Diego!!

This was our second visit, and everything was excellent -from the beautiful holiday decor, the excellent wait staff, to the food . The server Valerie's timing was impeccable, the cocktails very generous, and even the temperature was perfect. The first time we dined here, we had a seasonal appetizer of poached peaches, prosciutto, and whipped burrata on country bread that was one of the best things I have ever eaten. We live out of state - otherwise would be dining here often.

The service and food were awesome. The lobster melted in your mouth. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a great view of the beach and surf.
