Great place, staff and atmosphere. Tried mussel, oysters on the half shell, calamari whom was amazing. Then for the main, macadamia crusted halibut. Wow what flavor, yams, fish and white sauce had such a pleasant flavor.
Went here for valentines dinner. Was absolutely amazing. Did the chefs tasting with the wine pairing. The service, atmosphere, and food were great. The wine was paired amazingly. The opah duo dish was out of this world.
Came here for the first time today, and it was delightfully surprising how good it was! The place wasn't busy at all, which I found odd, but the service was outstanding and the food was super good. The clams with saffron linguine were absolutely to die for, and the drinks were super unique and delicious. Would recommend if you're in the area!
I picked this restaurant randomly from google map during my visit to San Diego. Surprisingly it’s one of the best seafood restaurant I ever tried! Everything is delicious with nice details. I literally liked every course! The service is good too, friendly and caring. 5 star plus recommendations!
This was probably my favorite meal of our trip to San Diego. The catch of the day fish sandwich was incredible! I forget what kind of fish it was, but it was a white fish and it was so fresh and juicy. It was lightly grilled for a subtle flavor and topped with fresh produce. The brioche bun was soft and didn't taste like it had been mass produced. My mouth waters as I type this this from our visit weeks ago. The salad was also nicely presented and very fresh.
My only complaint is that I wanted to take a look at the dessert menu but the menu never came and we had to get going so never got to experience dessert.
Fresh & delicious seafood!
The seafood tower was an excellent choice, I recommend getting the “grand” version. All the items are so fresh & tasty. The white fish spread was our favorite.
We choose multiple dishes to try and share. I recommend doing this, since there so many good dishes. Since the restaurant is also a market, you can see the different crustaceans and fish options inside the restaurant.
The fish was fresh and delicious. Plates were very small though, so don’t expect to feel super full after eating here especially if you’re trying to keep the budget under $200.
I had a table for two and we spent $230 and while the food was very good we were still slightly hungry afterwards and we didn’t arrive super hungry. In that way, it’s more of a fine dining experience.
The server was pretty great and attentive. Kind of slow at times but I think that was intentional. The people cleaning and running dishes were very timely and on top of things.
The atmosphere is pretty nice, but as soon as it got dark, it got really hard to see in the restaurant. I would just consider turning the lights up a bit.
Pictured is the pacific swordfish dish.
Best experience all around! Atmosphere, Customer service, and Hospitality were exceptional. The FOOD ? Not sure I could properly describe the flavors, textures, and the sophistication of the dishes we enjoyed last night. 5 stars all around! Stephen and Phil are experienced in their craft and such a pleasure to have hosting our dinner at the Fishery. We will definitely be coming back!
**side note - returned to Phoenix today and was chatting with a stranger at a local restaurant . I wanted to share my amazing experience with her, but she was very familiar the Fishery and had very similar reviews as to how AMAZING this place is. I highly recommend the swordfish chop and carpaccio!!
First off, Eric is phenomenal. Had us, recommended the sour dough, praised the crudo, just great. Light lunch but what we needed after a coffee and a little jaunt
We had dinner at The Fishery on our recent trip to San Diego. The food was impeccable - in particular, the macadamia crusted halibut. It was perfection! Other items we tried: dungeness crab fettuccine, the burrata salad and the calamari. While these were also great dishes, none compared to the halibut.
We sat outside on the patio. The vibe was vibrant but relaxed. Our server was great - friendly and easy-going. It made for a nice evening.
I highly recommend The Fishery. If we are ever back in San Diego, we will definitely be stopping by!
Food was great! The shrimp katsu sandwich with the side salad tasted very fresh and delicious. I also ordered one of the mocktails. The drink was tasty but a little overpriced. I recommend this place to anyone in the Pacific Beach area!
We had the most wonderful evening at The Fishery celebrating our wedding anniversary. The setting was great, the service impeccable and the food amazing. We will definitely come back ☺️
Part 2: we came back for my husband’s birthday and we loved our second experience as much as our first!
Part 3: we went back last night and it’s still our favorite restaurant in SoCal! That macadamia crusted halibut is probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Simple yet elevated. And their cocktails never disappoint. Also, homemade ice cream 🫶🏻
