I recently hosted my son's graduation brunch here on a Saturday at 11:30am for about 22 people…read more Overall I would rate this a 4 and would highly recommend for larger parties but please note the details below: Ambiance 5/5 Couldn't ask for more - was a perfect day, beautiful, live music, covered patio. A whole vibe. Absolutely perfect in this regard. I would myself go back for the vibe and ambiance. A few firepit tables, nice views. Service 5/5 Servers were warm, accommodating, so attentive from start to finish. Amazing service. Even from initially calling to coordinate - they were kind, helpful, set a custom menu and really was a fantastic experience. Food 2/5 ... maybe 3 for some *Beverages were fine *We ordered mainly the following: American breakfast: Eggs unseasoned, potatoes unseasoned, bacon burnt beyond edible, a few opened jams had mold in them Eggs Benedict: no complaints Fish n chips: Small portions overall, overly breaded, tiny fish portions. You have to request fries or these are served with chips. Chicken n waffles: Most people enjoyed but felt like a child sized portion. One said the waffles were incredibly sweet. Caesar salad: unsure Egg sandwich: fine I don't know if it was an off day because this was my first experience here but I feel like you pay for the vibe, food may be meh. Parking is free and plentiful. Overall a lovely party and was happy with the venue overall.

Located in the thoroughfare of a hotel, Dockside 1953 has a very casual, but upscale vibe. Either…read moreviews of the bay with boats and a picture-perfect pretty sunset, we were seated outside. Why 3 stars? When we had made our reservation days before we had requested a table next to the water and were told that would not be a problem. When we arrived, both hostesses did not acknowledge us, instead they stood in conversation with each other. Perhaps talking about restaurant business, I'm not sure, but to stand there and not be acknowledged for what felt like quite awhile felt odd. When we gave our name and said that we had spoken to someone on the phone (while also using an app and mentioning the seating request) that we would like to have a table next to the water, and when we arrived, one hostess acted completely annoyed that we asked if we were getting a table by the water. We sat in a back table outside, which honestly was fine. Our server was fantastic, attentive, and friendly, checking on us often. Only other fail for food was the shrimp cocktail, it tasted really fishy and was warm, even though it was on ice. We only ate half of one, but we didn't mention it to the server. The hummus with crudite was delicious, and the rosemary bread was outstanding! Mains were a wedge salad with grilled chicken which was very good! The hot honey salmon with quinoa we ordered and shared was also delicious.

Overall it was a good experience. The service was quick and staff members were friendly. Food came out pretty quick too! Everything was tasty! We also got 2 surf and turf tacos, which are not pictured. It was plenty of food for the morning Our drinks also packed a punch. It was nice that we got the leftover from the can for one of the drinks. Felt like it was 2 drinks. Would definitely come back here.

Upon arriving, I saw the sign that boasted they have the best fish taco in San Diego, so I had high hopes We were seated immediately and were able to order pretty quickly. I got the taco plate with fish and carne asada. Upon tasting the fish taco, it was lukewarm and had absolutely no flavor. I tasted the steak meat and I couldn't even eat the taco. The texture and flavor was just not there to say the least. The guacamole and the salsa did not seem to be freshly made. The beans weren't even warm. For $23, I was expecting more. I unfortunately wasted my money since it was mostly inedible.

As a girl who was born and raised in the Midwest with immaculate BBQ, I was skeptical that San Diego BBQ could be good (no offense I miss you Porky Butts in Omaha, Nebraska... this was the food I had at my wedding...lots of love!). But wow! I was super impressed by their brisket! Prime rib brisket...? Never had heard of her but wow was it so good. It wasn't dry which is easy to do with brisket and it was flavorful. Their BBQ sauce was good. Another amazing thing about Coaster Saloon is they have homemade ranch!!!! :') That was really good with their fries which were also good. The mac n cheese was also incredible. Food was great! Service was also amazing! We had a great server who was friendly and personable. They have lots of cool photos of Belmont Park from years ago as well as an open air concept with lots of seating. There is a big bar as well as lots of tvs inside. The virgin piña colada was probably the worst one I've had. It wasn't a typical white color of a piña colada and wasn't creamy it tasted more like lime citrus. I didn't enjoy it very much. Definitely would come back for the food, but not for the blended drinks. Well done Coaster Saloon!

Definitely get a rooftop table next to the ocean, beautiful for sunsets!…read more Honestly, I would have given it more of a 3.5 but no half stars. We decided to get the chef's boat to share and it was a little.... idk... just thrown together? Some fish had the two bites and some only had one... very annoying which resulted in some rock paper scissors and ultimately ordering another bite of some of the fish WHICH oddly enough....only comes in bites of two so then we had 3 LOL There was one big item which was supposed to be a stuffed large prawn but there was no meet in there, it's like they scraped out the prawn and just stuffed it with a single cheese. Really weird and didn't really seem to fit the boat. Drinks were fantastic, EXCEPT the Espresso martini. Dear lord that was one of the worst espresso martinis I think I've ever had. Luckily it was the last drink of dinner or I would have been really upset and probably would have just left or not trusted ordering any other drinks. Honestly, I'd probably go back still especially for the view, but would be a little more aware of what to expect.

The sushi is just okay, good presentation, but you're definitely paying for the view but it's still not overly price it's what I would expect. Service can be a little slow when they're busy. Great spot to grab some beers with friends and watch the sunset. Plus, there's a large parking lot right there, which makes parking easy!

Full menu to choose a variety of foods or simply have a nice refreshing drink as you lay by the bay. Today we went with the hummus plate, which included crushed olives and veggies. The plate was a perfect size for two, and the tastes of the hummus combined with the lime infused crush olives was amazing! The pita was nicely toasted to scoop up some tasty hummus. The blue jito drink was so refreshing and unique. The mix included the usual mojito mix with crushed blueberries. The blueberries really took the drink over the top. Have to shout out the friendly staff and attentiveness to take care of us. Cheers

The servers were extremely friendly and attentive, and they had different options for seating. They were not too busy on a Monday afternoon and the vibes were immaculate. The food was just alright, but better than I expected for this type of place. I didn't have a chance to try out the other amenities, but they seem to offer a day pass for a reasonable price which is worth it for the co-working alone. Only note is that they don't have a bathroom, you have to use the bathroom at Belmont park or the public restroom

They serve food everyday until 8pm - sandwiches, burgers, wings, and even ceviche. Tons of college students were here the night we came in. It was absolutely packed. The people in it was super friendly. They all seem to be locals or college aged. They have multiple floors and a patio so if they decor as soon as you walk in, isn't your style, there are other areas you can head to. The drinks were pretty decently strong. Probably wouldn't come back again but I experienced a bar most San Diegos in the area say you have to experience, and so I can check it off my bucketlist
