Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Ocean Beach

This is our go to brunch place in SD! We are always treated so well ! Luz, Molly, Joe, Sarah and Eddie always greet us no matter where we sit. I can’t say enough about the service, food and drinks - you need to hit up this Sunday brunch!!

We had reservations to celebrate our anniversary there on a Saturday night. When the hostess greeted us she congratulated us on our anniversary and led us promptly to our table with a view. She also sprinkled some red heart shaped confetti on our table! Our server was the AMAZING Gil, he had been our waiter before. Gil is the most attentive, polite, knowledgeable server we have ever had at ANY restaurant. My filet was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The sweet potato side dish is amazing. The cheesecake dessert was delicious! Gil made sure we had everything we needed and it was a perfect meal! Thank you!

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!!

Great restaurant that never fails. They updated their menu two weeks ago and while we missed the old favorites, the new menu is probably of wider appeal. I will say that the fajitas were just a bit too spicy, especially for an older person. The chips and salsa and guacamole are the best in town!!!

This place was incredible from start to finish. We had flown in some family for my girlfriend‘s birthday, and even though the plane was an hour late, we were seated immediately while we waited for the rest of our guests. The hostess was also unusually accommodating in reducing the size of our table while maintaining a perfect spot.  the waiter Colin was over the top with suggestions, service and a great smile. Your food was the best I’ve had in San Diego. The three medallions with crab, the tuna, avocado stack was the best appetizer, and the humongous mud pie at the end really topped it off. We enjoyed it so much. We ended up staying there for over four hours, and the gracious manager even took our picture by the Christmas tree when we were the last ones leaving. The parking is wide open and easy to do. No valet parking to mess up your car and spend another $20. All in all one of the best experiences I’ve had eating in San Diego. Not to mention the very unique view of downtown at night.
