"Embarcadero —The first Mastro’s Ocean Club has made landing in San Diego, opening on the ground floor of the InterContinental Hotel, replacing Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse. Anchoring the luxury hotel with a corner spot enticing pedestrian traffic on North Harbor Drive and West Broadway, the seafood restaurant occupies two levels with plush indoor tables and balcony and patio seating. Views of the USS Midway dominate the skyline while diving into seafood towers with oysters, caviar, shrimp, and Dungeness crab cocktail. Try other fish dishes or dig into the robust steak menu, including the 12-ounce bone-in filet, accompanied by creamy lobster mashed potatoes. Ask about the off-the-menu cocktails, poured tableside to dry ice fanfare." - Helen I. Hwang
