OLD TOWN. Set in a bougainvillea-covered adobe building, Pacifica is home to some of the best seafood in town. Within an airy, spacious interior, guests marvel at innovative, perfectly seasoned entrees like seared ahi tuna with ginger butter, grilled salmon with a choice of sauce and seasonal vegetables, and even griddled mustard catfish. A few steak and chicken dishes also satisfy carnivores, and you'll find a nice selection of wines by the bottle or the glass. |

1404 Vacation Rd Paradise Point Resort & Spa, San Diego 92109 • 858-490-6363 |
|
|
| |
Description:
MISSION BAY. Among the best outdoor dining in Southern California, this resort restaurant’s patio overlooks picturesque Mission Bay, a view that almost makes the food secondary. Fortunately, the food stands up quite well to scrutiny. Seafood with Asian/Californian flair is the focus – citrus marinated swordfish, soy glazed salmon, California-style cioppino, wood-roasted sea bass or scallops – all paired with sides such as truffled parmesan fries, coconut sticky rice, and avocado-grapefruit chimichurri. The “Chef’s Tour of Local Fish and Shellfish” menu is fabulous. Inside, the designers relaxed the elegant décor with an unexpected motif: monkeys. |

Description:
LA JOLLA. Blue Coral, from the creators of Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, excels on every front. The interior design is gorgeous, from mosaic walls to cobalt blue glassware – it’s all exceptionally pleasant to the eye and mind. The seasonal, seafood-centered menu might feature vodka-cured peppered salmon, yellowfin tuna with wasabi buerre blanc, Chilean sea bass with blood orange-butter sauce, or grilled mahi mahi with lemon caper aioli. Even dessert is superlative, and there are 60 wines by the glass, more than 70 vodkas (several infused in-house with fresh fruits and herbs), vodka flights, and unique cocktails. |
