Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was built in 1971 by a man who was not afraid to put his name on his product. Rooted in warm welcomes & excellent food, Tom Ham made his lifelong dream a reality. Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is the only restaurant in the US to have a USCG operated & maintained Lighthouse attached to it. You can locate us on any modern nautical map as Beacon #9. Featuring a 100% responsibly resourced seafood menu & award winning Sunday Champagne Brunch, we are a must when it comes to the San Diego food scene. The dining room, purposely shaped like the state of California, allows for groups as grand as 50 yet private enough for a couple’s night out. Holiday brunches have been long time family traditions for many San Diegans. Start your family’s tradition this next holiday. With the best views of the Downtown City Skyline, Coronado & San Diego Bay, Tom Ham's is & remains a San Diego tradition in dining excellence since 1971.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Starting with a special request and the server’s excellent vibe and knowledge of the food and her craft. The chefs must have their stuff down because every dish was perfectly executed and came out right on time. Table of 6 for a birthday and all dreamed of the food for days to come.

We loved Tom Hams Lighthouse. The food, drinks and dessert were delicious. The waiter Davor is very nice, friendly and he made us feel welcomed. He served our table last year too. The atmosphere is very nice and the view is awesome. Overall we had a great time. Last year we dined here for Mother’s Day. Yesterday was my birthday . It was an awesome time. Thank you Tom Ham’s Lighhouse for a beautiful restaurant with a super nice scenery :)
