The 38 Best Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"For a city of its size, San Diego has too few restaurants dedicated to showcasing local seafood and the bounty of the West Coast. This family-run Pacific Beach institution is currently helmed by chef Mike Reidy (Callie, Ironside, Melisse), who joined last year. The casual restaurant is also a seafood distributor and retail market, ensuring that the freshest catch lands on the menu. All the fish and shrimp are wild caught, and the names of the local purveyors (fisherfolks and farmers) are acknowledged on the menu. The local seafood, oysters, and ocean-themed cocktails, like the Selkie Song, are made with Bimini overproof gin, Taiwanese sunset oolong, and seaweed. Must-try dishes: Indulge in the shareable seafood tower, which has a little of everything, and pair it with a Tiny Martini made with Layback vodka and oyster shell vermouth." - Candice Woo
