San Diego’s Top Restaurants for Wedding Receptions and Dinners | Eater San Diego
"Celebrated chef Jose “Jojo” Ruiz helms Lionfish, which anchors the Pendry Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter. The restaurant is available for buyouts to host more than 100 people, along with an upstairs private dining area for up to 50 guests. Larger parties often book both the indoor and outdoor space to have enough room for 200 attendees. Chef Jojo’s dishes focus on modern coastal cuisine, sustainable seafood, and prime meats. Couples have the option to try four different tasting menus worth up to $200 for sampling shareables, salads, sushi courses, entrees, and desserts. More upscale private dining menus offer items like wagyu beef tataki; a surf and turf sushi roll with seared wagyu and Maine lobster; Spanish chorizo and robata diver scallops with miso-glazed king trumpet mushrooms." - Roxana Becerril
