The seafood here is something else. I had two sushi rolls and both were incredible. The restaurant has a nice view of a bay. Good dinner spot.

Fish and Chips
Lisa T.

This is a casual restaurant in the Catamaran hotel. You can sit outside and have a beautiful view of the bay. We ate there a few times for breakfast and during Happy Hour. I also ordered room service from there one morning. The breakfast I ordered was great. Two eggs,potatoes, choice of meat and toast. My friends ordered biscuits and gravy. We all enjoyed our meals. During Happy Hour, the Fish and Chips is a great choice at $24. It was so good that the next time we ate there, all of us ordered it. The servers were very pleasant and attentive. Can't beat good food with an awesome view!

CA BLT
Erica C.

6/30/2026 - our 3rd time here. First, don't park in the hotel parking lot. It's a rip off. $20 the first hour and $10 every hour after this. They do not validate. Drive around the area and park for free in the residential area and walk there. We ordered the following: Coconut Ceviche, which was excellent and big pieces of fish, CA BLT, very good but far to much lettuce and only 2 bacon strips total, the Sal Citrus Roll which was the best item we selected and the Polynesian Punch which was the least favorite. Had to much cinnamon in the drink. The total bill was around $80. Again, they added back office tips and we asked to have it removed. They forgot. Next time we go the tip will we deduct the extra cost. We aren't there to pay a living wage to employees. Bump up the food prices. Don't add an extra tax to guests. 4 stars overall due to the extra service fee added and was to be removed. The ceviche was excellent but we had to ask for more chips which were broken. They gave us a plate of small broken chips and counted just 5 normal ones. Soy sauce brought out to us and was empty. Overall a total of 4 stars !

Came here for brunch. Definitely opt to sit outside. The staff was a bit slow in refilling our drinks. The stuffed French toast was a great balance of sweet and salty and the whipped cream was great. The crab cake bene was good; the potatoes it came with were ok. The chilaquiles was definitely a must and quite filling if you're hungry; I did ask to swap the chicken for salmon, but they gave me both (I was able to eat around the chicken).

Barrel Aged Mai Tai
Nadia M.

Had a great dinner experience during our stay. The views from the outdoor patio are spectacular. On Sunday night, there was live music playing which was great. I ordered the poke bowl, and the server asked me if I wanted rice because theirs just had seaweed salad, and I said yes so he was kind enough to ring up the poke bowl from Morays next door. Which brings me to the service, outstanding. Our waiter was Adam and he was amazing! Very pleasant and friendly, and went above and beyond for all of us. I also ordered the barrel aged Mai tai which packed a punch and was definitely worth the price. I'd recommend dinner here even if you aren't staying on the property.

Mara R.

Wonderful place! Stopped for lunch while biking around the bay. Sat outside- enjoyed ciders and very delicious sandwiches. Our server was kind and attentive to us.

Salmon citrus roll, 8 pieces.

The food is yummy especially the mussels. Thursday promotion for sushi roll make it a great deal.

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant for breakfast. We stayed at the hotel and two days in a row, we came to have breakfast. To start off, the view from the outdoor seating is unmatched! Loved the view of the ocean! Margarita served us and she was the most attentive waitress! Lastly, the food was delicious. We tried the omelette, breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. All savory! Loved their latte's as well. I recommend this restaurant for breakfast!

Goat Cheese and beet salad.

Oceana Coastal Kitchen - Bay Views, Beach Vibes, and Bites Worth Savoring. When you're staying at the Catamaran, it only makes sense to treat yourself to dinner at Oceana Coastal Kitchen--and we did exactly that. Not once, but twice during New Year's week. Because when the food's this good and the view's this relaxing, why not double dip? On a quiet school-night evening, we had the patio to ourselves, and let me tell you--it felt like our own private bayfront dining room. They rolled out the tableside heater, and we kicked back in that perfect San Diego winter air, watching the lights twinkle across Mission Bay like a scene from a postcard. We started with sushi and a vibrant beet and goat cheese salad, then dove into the star of the show:Crispy snapper with forbidden fried rice, glazed spam, pineapple drizzle, sesame, and cilantro--a sweet, savory, crunchy, tropical moment that made us forget it was even winter. But the highlight reel doesn't stop there--we also celebrated New Year's Eve here with friends. This time inside the restaurant, opting for the prix fixe menu that did not disappoint: * Scallops cooked to perfection * Burrata beet salad (yes, we're beet people now) * Prime rib and halibut mains that deserved a standing ovation * And for dessert: the rich, indulgent chocolate torte that practically demanded a slow clap. Our drinks kept pace with the food: Dark & Stormy - moody but smooth Espresso Martini - classy and caffeinated Mana Potion - because even adults deserve a little magic What tied it all together was the top-tier service. The servers treated us like we were longtime regulars or long-lost royalty--friendly, attentive, and full of great menu recommendations that elevated the night. Bottom line:Oceana Coastal Kitchen is what happens when great food, golden service, and a Mission Bay sunset get together to throw a party. Whether you're out with friends, staying at the resort, or just looking for an effortlessly perfect SoCal night, this is the move.

ARTISAN SOURDOUGH BREAD
Char B.

Went here for my sis birthday. Very nice vibes, our waitress is super nice. Food is okay, for the price not really worth it in my opinion. The sourdough bread is nice they pair it with many different butters. We got the Hawaiian pad thai which we did not like. It was different, the pineapple thru us off. Sushi was delicious. The steak was good but for the price it's so small. The free birthday cheesecake tasted very tasted like cardboard.

Grethagurl E.

We had a family dinner here and it was good with a great beach view. Also, Petfriendly.

Creme brulé
Sary O.

Went to Oceana Kitchen for restaurant week. The squash soup was creamy and good. My flat iron steak was juicy and cooked just right with mashed potatoes and broccolini on the side. The crème brûlée was a bit too sweet for me, but overall I'd come back to try more dishes. The service there was excellent with a nice ocean view

Crispy Whole Snapper
Gale R.

Several years ago, we came to the brunch buffet at Oceana and it was fantastic. The outdoor view of the bay is phenomenal. Food for dinner was just ok for the price. We had the seared tuna roll as an appetizer and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, we had to ask for soy sauce. My husband had the chowder and while it's impressive that it has whole clams, they didn't bring out a spoon initially! By the time the spoon came out the chowder had cooled down quite a bit. My husband's scallops were not seared properly and tasted salty. I suggest that the chef watch Gordon Ramsay's technique, searing and preparing scallops. I got the signature dish, the crispy fried snapper, and it was magnificent to see. It was a little challenging to eat, but was tasty. Pineapple sauce was a little sweet. The forbidden rice was good. My son liked his teriyaki chicken. My daughter-in-law liked her poke... We also split the strawberry salad, which was tasty. For dessert we all had a few bites of the Ube cake with coconut ice cream which we liked. We all enjoyed our drinks. We mostly had The traditional Mai Tais. The waitress was pleasant and helpful. Overall, gorgeous view with live entertainment, OK but expensive food. They need to tighten up their service (missing soup spoon, soy sauce with sushi) We had a wonderful time there with family....

Nico's is an amazing seafood spot that is not only chill but amazing in its seafood…read morechoices/flavors. Nico is very close to the beach and in the middle of some shops. The interior is very chill filled with history about the location and a mostly blue/white palate. There is a display of the fishes of the day in the front although usually there is a line, especially during the summer months. Nico's has several menu items centered around their seafood - poke, a plate, tacos, burritos, oyster shooters, and ceviche (think I most of them but may be forgetting a few). They get their seafood fresh every morning. Once you order, you can find a table both inside or outside and wait for your order to be called. Usually the line isn't too long and pretty efficient. And the staff is super nice in telling you about their favorite fishes of the days and recommendations. They also have some drink items including beer, sparkling water, and sodas along with water stations near the front and their signature Nico sauce. Here's a few items we've gotten over the couple years we've been here: *Fish Ceviche: The ceviche comes with some chips and in different sizes (4, 8, 16 ounces). For two people, the 4 oz. usually is good to tide us over until the meal is ready. It is a good balance between being lime-y and full of nice herbs/spices. *Taco: They have a few different taco options. I've tried the Nico which is delicious and is their constant panko crusted snapper item. But I really like to usually go for some of their fish of the day options like the salmon and swordfish which are even tastier. It comes with items you'll find in many of their other items like the Lily mayo-like sauce, pickled onions, melted, avocado and corn tortilla. It's delicious and is even better with their Nico Sauce. *Plate: This though is my usual order where you get the fish of your choice blackened or with lemon garlic butter with a bed of rice, pico de gallo, pickled onion, avocado, Lily sauce on the side. It helps the seafood sing more on its own and like all the items separated. For two people ordering two tacos + a plate + 4 oz. ceviche and a sparkling water, it came out to around $55ish which felt fair. Parking is a bit hit-or-miss around the immediate area. During the summer months in particular, we usually aren't able to find parking nearby and have to park across the street or at adjacent streets. Nico's is a fantastic stop that we constantly come back to for nearly each of our San Diego trip.

I had this place bookmarked for quite a while, but since I don't get to this area very often…read moreanymore (not since my college days!), I hadn't had a chance to visit until my husband and I were nearby on a Saturday afternoon. We stopped in for an early dinner around 4:30 PM, and it was already fairly busy. There aren't a ton of tables inside or outside, but we were able to find a spot. Shortly after we ordered, the line stretched out the door, so I was glad we arrived when we did. The menu is fairly simple and focuses on a handful of fresh seafood options. We ordered the Grilled Shrimp Burrito, an 8 oz Red Snapper Ceviche, and the Crispy Rice Poke. Our food came out quickly. The shrimp burrito wasn't enormous, but it was a good size and came with guacamole, which was a nice addition. The shrimp was cooked well and nicely seasoned. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, though I did find it a bit pricey at $15 for the portion size. My favorite dish was the Crispy Rice Poke. The crispy rice was topped with tuna, ginger, seaweed, and several sauces that added a lot of flavor and texture. Every bite had a nice balance of savory, tangy, and fresh flavors. Overall, the food was good, and it's definitely a solid spot if you're looking for fresh poke or seafood. Just keep in mind that the menu is intentionally simple, so there isn't a huge variety of options if you're looking for a more extensive selection.

At the time we came in there weren't many people, but a crowd started gathering after about 30 minutes or so, which was nice! Our food came out - with a decent amount of wait time - and it looked great! We ordered a couple of cocktails from the menu as well, which we got right away. I had gotten something similar to an Espresso Martini, but the drink fell short in both the taste and the presentation. My beer battered fish tacos were good, but nothing extraordinary. I believed they lacked a bit of taste...perhaps seasoning? The jam burger on the other hand, extremely juicy and flavorful! The fries were nice and crispy & seasoned. Overall, the food and drink were a bit inconsistent, but it may also very well be the items I ordered. For that, I'm docking it one star, but again it may come down to my taste buds and previous items I've had from other grills. I'd definitely give it a try, again, and keep exploring their menu.
