    ARTISAN BREAD SERVICE
    Shannon C.

    I was a smidge hungry while waiting to go to the airport so my group stopped by for a quick bite. My coworker ordered a chicken sandwich and I ordered the bread service. I feel like these two items should be relatively quick but the food took quite a while to come out. When I asked the waitress if our food was ready after waiting 30ish minutes, she said they were putting the final touches on it...??? My group started joking they were putting the sesame on my bread with tweezers. The bread itself was great though. I love a good sourdough with a heavy dose of butter. The seaweed butter was a nice touch. Wish the service was a bit faster. The views and the bread were fantastic.

    The restaurant is a beautiful place to dine. It is a great meeting place to catch up with friends, celebrate a special occasion or bring out of town guests. You cant beat the spectacular view!

    Stopped for brunch a few weeks ago. Had such a great experience here! The service was excellent. Our server was attentive and had great drink recommendations that we really enjoyed. We started with the hummus and veggies appetizer, which was colorful, and tasty. I ordered the chilaquiles, they were delicious and had the right amount of crunch, just how I like them. The steak on top was a great addition and really rounded out the dish. My husband got the eggs Benedict, and he enjoyed them as well. The flavors were spot on, and everything was cooked just right. Between the delicious food, the well-made drinks, and the beautiful view, Dockside 1953 was an overall a good experience. Definitely recommend!

    Great service, atmosphere, and food! I did not catch our servers name but she was very sweet and fast. We sat outside at a fire pit which was a beautiful view of the sunset. Seating was comfortable. I ordered the Caesar salad and added steak to it. I never finish my meals so this was surprising that I liked it so much I was able to finish it. My friends like their drinks, steak, pork tenderloin, Bahia Salad, and desserts. I had a taste of the tart dessert and it was a perfect tang and sour.

    Dockside 1953 is the relaunch of the on-site restaurant at the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Beach. It was formerly Cafe Bahia while 1953 represents the year the resort was founded. The property is on the southwestern edge of Mission Bay with a nice view of the water to the north. A large outdoor patio was available if you wanted to dine al fresco while looking at the bay. I decided to dine inside which turned out to be prudent because an isolated rain shower hit the area and forced the parties who were out on the patio to take refuge in the dining room. My visit occurred near the switch over from the breakfast menu to the lunch menu. The hostess gave me a copy of each after I was seated at a table. The latter had better selections which consisted of the following categories... Starters, Greens, Flatbread Pizza, Favorites, and Sides. For my meal, I chose a Wilted Spinach Salad and the Farm Bird Chicken Lollipops which were actually listed on the bar menu. The salad was made up of spoon spinach, tomato, candied pecans, tart apple, egg, and gorgonzola cheese. The dressing was a sherry-bacon vinaigrette. The medley of flavors ranged from the tartness of the apple to the sweetness of the pecans to the saltiness of the egg and cheese. The price tag was hefty for the serving size though. The small plate came as three drumettes coated with a hoisin chile glaze. A scoop of coleslaw was included in the center of the dish. I was quite disappointed at the amount of chicken. You can get eight to twelve chicken wings with the same amount of meat on each piece for the cost. While the setting of the restaurant was pleasant, the value and quality of the food were the reasons why I gave a three star rating for my lunch at Dockside 1953.

    Avocado toast sans egg
    Aspen R.

    Great friendly service, dog friendly and great food ! Be sure to custom order your avocado toast or it will be avocado on toast topped with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce on top of that !

    I came here with my team for work and we shared the hummus platter and artisan bread. I liked the bread as it was sourdough with two different spreads. The lobster mac n cheese was okay, but i think i should have tried the fish tacos instead. They forgot to give us plates at the beginning so that would have been helpful, but other than that, it was a nice experience especially as you get a good view of the water.

    BLACKENED SALMON.  Excellent.
    Rosalie S.

    We've been here before but this time they got it perfectly right. The place had good vibes. It was bust and we still had great service. The food we ordered was excellent. Splurge and get the bread service. It's worth the price and calories.

    Chilaquiles

    Food and ambiance are great. We had breakfast there once during our stay at the resort. Service was okay.

    Dockside 1953 outdoor seating

    Aloha gang! My sister took me out for brunch over Memorial Day weekend and we enjoyed meal at Dockside 1953. The restaurant had a casual, Southern California vibe and was located at the Bahia Hotel and Resort. It's tucked away beyond the Bahia Hotel check-in area and just steps from the beach. The minute you step into the restaurant, you will automatically go into "relax" mode. I suggest finding a seat outside on the patio. You'll get a beautiful view of the bay,the beach and plenty of fresh air. For those who prefer to dine indoors, there's plenty of indoor seating as well. We decided to start with a Tiki Tempest mocktail. It included a rum alternative, Demerara, pineapple and ginger beer. It was a refreshing drink and perfect for brunch. For an appetizer, we ordered the Big Eye Tuna Tostada. It included seared Ahi Tuna, smoked Trout Caviar, Sirachi Aioli, cucumber, shallots and fresh seaweed all on a crispy tostada shell. The smoked Trout Caviar elevated the taste of the ahi tuna and the fresh seaweed topped off every savory bite and gave it that light salty finish. We decided to follow up with the Market Omelette. It included, tomato, relish, caramelized onions, spinach, feta cheese, mushrooms and breakfast potatoes. It was a typical omelette dish with nothing out of the ordinary, but it satisfied our breakfast craving. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. Our server, Ethan was great and checked on us to make sure all was good. We hope to return for dinner to try the outdoor seating with fire pits.

    Dined on a Monday night outdoors in late April 2025. The server turned the heat lamp on for us. We ordered bread and oysters to start. We thought the oysters were on special and didn't realize we were charged full price until the check came. That was our misunderstanding but a bummer. I think they were only $1 each in the special. They were super fresh. Had the crusted tuna and friends shared the sliders and a salad. They brought out a free dessert for my birthday. The server was great. He was attentive and joked around with us. We had a couple craft cocktails and shared a bottle of wine. I think the combo of the ambiance and food make it special. Unlike other reviews I've left about restaurants associated with hotels. This is an exception. It stands out. Have dined at other restaurants on the property even though I wasn't staying here. Would definitely return and recommend it.

When we arrived, there was no line at all. Security was really nice, and we got in easily. There weren't many people inside around 10 PM, and I definitely feel like this bar is more of a "grab a drink, sit with your friends, and chat" type of spot. It's not a club or a dancing bar. We ordered a round of shots and a mixed tequila drink. It wasn't strong at all, but it was really delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The server was also super nice, especially since our friend's mom kept ordering drinks and shots. He brought everything out quickly and with great service. I really loved the architecture and ambiance. It had a darker, cozy vibe, very much a small, deep-bar aesthetic. They also had some really cool paintings, and if you were wearing white or yellow, your clothes would glow in the dark, which was a fun touch. It wasn't super busy, and I appreciated how easy it was to find seating and just relax. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but it was still manageable. Overall, I'd definitely check out this spot if you're walking around Ocean Beach and want a chill place to grab a drink and hang out with friends.
