"Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is 54 years old, but the views and quality seafood are timeless. It’s a quintessential San Diego spot for a business lunch or celebratory dinner, with a functioning lighthouse overlooking the harbor and two stories of indoor and outdoor seating. First-timers should aim for a sunset meal seated against the deck glass walls. Start with an order of tart shrimp ceviche, then move on to the buttery linguine with clams before splitting an enormous chocolate fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. On Sundays, the restaurant, which is still under its original family ownership, sets up an all-you-can-eat buffet with made-to-order omelets, pastas, and a raw bar." - Keri Bridgwater
