The freshest fish tacos and worth every dollar. Just go now!…read more There's always a line but it goes by fast. You'll have time to peruse the menu as the line moves by the fresh fish case giving you time to decide on your choice of fish and the style you'd like it prepared. By this point your mouth begins to water and once you order you question if you made the right choice. Of course you did! However, you'll have to make a return visit to try other menu items as you'll be just too full after possibly one taco.

Service is terrible. We have a baby and asked for a high chair, which was provided. But after I…read moresettled the baby and everything away, they asked us to move because we hadn't ordered, even though my sister was nearly halfway through the line, and there were multiple empty tables. The worst part is, it wasn't even polite when they asked us. All the employees were giving us attitude for something they didn't tell us when we arrived, nor when they gave us the high chair. They want all four of us to stand in line instead of sitting at the empty tables. They seriously need training on customer service, at least to show empathy, sincerity and apologize to customers. I guess they don't care because we're Asian and believe they don't need our business here.

I'd probably give them a 4.5 but it was still really good. The service was amazing and the valet…read morehonestly wasn't too expensive ($10) for such a busy area. The restaurant itself is lovely, so classy. The ocean view was amazing. My waiter was very kind and attentive throughout the night. French Onion Soup: it had great flavors and i liked that they used gruyère unlike some places being cheap lol. The broth and onions were tasty but I wish the bread wasn't as mushy. I have had french onion soup where the bread is still crisp after being broiled. That's me being nit-picky! 4.5/5 Oysters: tasty, good side accompaniments! Some shell in there but i understand it's hard to shuck sometimes. 4.5/5 mocktails: for someone who doesn't care for alcohol the fake alcohol was a little too convincing but for someone who couldn't drink, they're great and pretty! desserts: both really well done and the raspberry or strawberry streak of sauce is very good. The key lime pie stole the show and that was a to go! but still great desserts. 5/5

I especially love the sight of the Coronado Bridge. Absolutely aesthetic! For my order, I had the Lobster Bisque and C Level Wagyu Burger. The Lobster Bisque was tasty but I had expected a stronger lobster flavor. I had the lobster bisque at its sister restaurant Island Prime a long time ago and remember the lobster flavor being punchier. As for the burger, you can taste quality in the patty. However, the burger could have used more seasoning. The bacon was delicious--as were the included Parmesan fries which were perfect in texture. This restaurant encompasses beautiful views of the Downtown skyline. While I enjoyed my experience and the food was pretty decent, I was left wanting a little more in the flavors of my food.

The service really was amazing, which is why I'm rating this place as highly as I am. We felt…read moregenuinely welcomed, and my water was refilled before I even realized it needed to be. Despite the restaurant being busy, we never felt any lag in service at all. The seafood? I'll start with the good. My brother enjoyed his sea bass, and my dad enjoyed his Alaskan cod. Both thought the portions were a little small for the price, but they liked their meals. The cioppino, on the other hand, was probably one of the worst I've ever had. The broth was oddly sour, and nearly all of the shellfish was overcooked. I almost spit the calamari out. It was that bad. The shrimp was good, and the chunks of fish were decent, but overall this dish was a huge miss. At almost $50, it's hard to justify. They either need to go back to the drawing board or take it off the menu. The standout was the daily cherry sorbet. WOW. Easily some of the best sorbet I've ever had. One random thing: whatever linen they use sheds everywhere. I loved how soft it felt until I walked outside and realized I was covered in lint. Would I come back? No. That said, it was still a lovely dinner with family. The ambiance was nice, and the service was genuinely exceptional. If you're coming for the hospitality, you'll probably leave happy. If you're coming for the cioppino, I'd strongly recommend ordering something else.

Was in San Diego and only had free time to go to one spot for lunch - Mitch's was close to our…read morehotel. Arrived at 1pm on Sunday and the line was out the door almost to the street. We had to leave by 2pm and already had a backup plan to take our food to go. But the line moved fast and we were actually out but 2pm. The line never got shorter and we were worried we might not find seats but they have their timing right. Get your seat after you order and have a number - by the time you order, people would have left and seats are available. They will also ask you to leave if you take seats without a number. Food was good & really fresh. Wanted to get oysters but had a wedding to go to so didn't risk it but saw many ppl ordered it. Had the octopus taco and grilled shrimp platter with limeade. Hubby had the fish & chips with iced tea. Portions were just right. I thought the shrimp could use a bit more seasoning. Loved their coleslaw that had cilantro fir a bit of a twist. Read previous reviews about sitting outside to be wary of seagulls but they had these rubber-ended wire things on the roof that worked great to keep thdm away so we could eat & enjoy the view!

Prices are about average compared to other resturants in the area. Portion sizes of the plates are good, may be enough for two if you are a light eater. Ordered the Clam Chowder and Calamari. Chowder flavor was good, could have used a little bit more butter, Calamari was over cook and slightly rubbery. Price was reasonable. Service was good. Paid parking so you need to factor that in as well.

Cold bar consists of lots of different salads, snow crab legs, lobster claws, mussels, and many more. They had a good selection of soups from clam cowder, seafood soup, miso soup, egg drop, and hot and sour soup. Desert was one of my favorite with creme brulee, cheesecake, cookies, and ice cream, and more. Thursday buffet is $56.99 because they have lobster night. Downside on that is they come out with limited amount of half lobster and often times lines are long. Limit one per person everytime you get in line. The lobster was not fresh today and texture was very mushy. I will not be coming back for lobster night. Service was nice and friendly. Waitress refilled our drinking and removed empty places consistently. They have spacious seating areas and the atmosphere is very inviting and vibrant. We came on a thursday night with 7 people and did not have to wait longer then 5 minutes. Plenty of seating. They have a huge parking lots with plenty of parking.

We were instantly drawn to Pete's because of the dog friendly patio. There are about 6 tables on…read morethe very small patio, and on a Thursday during lunchtime all but 2 were taken. You'll have to park about a quarter mile away and potentially in a neighborhood because there is no parking on the street where Pete's is. I was sold on the crab roll as I'm not a really big fan of lobster. We also opted for the fish and shrimp. The crab roll is a stand out on its own. It had very great flavor and was fresh. I didn't mind the thick piece of bread that it came on, but I found myself just eating the crab itself. The fish and shrimp were actually quite nice and fresh. The shrimp was better than the fish in terms of seasoning. The fish was in desperate need of any type of seasoning. It was extremely plain. A dash of salt, or your favorite dipping sauce perhaps. I did find it interesting that the fish and shrimp plate did not come with a lemon. The fries were not too bad and reminded me a bit of In-N-Out fries when they've been in the bag for five minutes longer than they should and become soggy. They aren't bad, just would have preferred them to be crispier. The patio is covered and although it's small and the tables can feel close to each other the area still nice. For these two dishes, we spent $58.

We just dropped the kids off at camp and I wanted to try a local place with a lobster roll, while…read morethe kids weren't around to steal my food. Lobster roll (warm): It felt like a good amount of lobster, but the soggy roll ruined it for me. I couldn't even pick it up without the whole thing falling apart. The flavor was there but that soggy roll ruined it. Seafood platter: They said it was a plate for two, but I don't know about that. It was nice to try a variety of different seafood. Most of it was good but the fish needs to be firmer. It just fell apart and I wasn't used to that kind of texture. We sat outside in the patio area since inside seemed pretty busy. Service was quick and friendly.
