    Tuna poke
    Hana Y.

    We had such a great experience here. The tuna poke was a favorite. Super fresh, clean flavors, perfectly seasoned, and paired really well with the crunchy chips. Light, refreshing, and honestly hard to stop eating. The seared tuna with grilled vegetables was just as impressive. The tuna was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, and the grilled vegetables were fresh and well balanced with the sauce. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared and not heavy at all. Another big plus for families is that kids eat for free, which makes it even better. Fresh ingredients, delicious dishes, and a great family friendly bonus. Highly recommend.

    Tuna Poke from day 2
    Jean S.

    Hudson & Nash is the restaurant inside the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, on the concourse level. It's large and spacious with plenty of indoor, some outdoor, and bar seating. They have happy hour from 8-10pm each night. We came here two nights in a row during happy hour, but our experiences were very different each night. The first evening, we sat at a table all the way in the back of the restaurant. Our waitress was pretty nice and let us know certain dishes were half off for happy hour. We ordered the tuna poke and calamari fritti, and a beer. Tuna poke was really good and came with black sesame rice chips. The calamari wasn't that good. The fried batter wasn't crispy enough and the texture of the squid was not good either. The next day, we sat at the bar and ordered the tuna poke again. The service was not good. We waited a long time to order, get food, etc. Furthermore, the bartender told us the happy hour poke was $15, not half off. I wasn't too pleased with the inconsistent information and inconsistent charging, especially since we came and had the exact same thing the day before and still had the receipt with proof. For some reason, the second night's tuna poke wasn't as good as the first's. The second night's service was by far lacking compared to the first's. We only got one giant rice crisp on day two instead of many the first night. If you are staying at the hotel, the restaurant is convenient.

    Great location right near the water. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Good service. Clean restaurant. Located downstairs in the Hilton Bayside. The food was overall ok, some were better than other. The bayside bene was good but they accidentally wrote the wrong order for the protein so they gave us a nice salmon rose free of charge to compensate. We also ordered the waffle sammie which left more to be desired. Portion size was kind of meh and the waffle itself wasn't the best. The picture of the food is a combined plate with both entrees.

    My boyfriend and I visited for lunch as their breakfast service was ending. We opted for takeout since we weren't sure about parking. It's located on the first floor at waterfront side in the Hilton Bayfront hotel on Park Blvd just outside of Gaslamp. As mentioned, we didn't know where to park but there most likely is a parking area for customers who are not staying at the Hilton. My boyfriend and I ordered their Orecchiette Pasta and Chermoula Chicken. The food smelled amazing on the drive home. The pasta dish was just okay. It had a lot of pasta with only a small amount of vegetables and scattered sausages. There was a nice, subtle spicy kick in the sauce. The chicken, on the other hand, was nicely seasoned with a lot of flavor, but it had some pink areas, so we heated it up just in case. The figs and vegetables were very good. There was a side of "soup" that came with the chicken meal, I believe. It was very flavorful and good, but I started to wonder if it was meant to be a sauce for the chicken because it was kind of thick... We tried it with the chicken and was thoroughly surprised by how much of a difference it made with and without that "sauce". The takeout container for the pasta almost broke in half when we arrived home because the sauce soaked through. This dish should have been packaged in two containers but thankfully, this dish was on top of the chicken entrée. Overall, the food was relatively good especially the chicken dish. Would love to come back to try their other chicken dishes when the menu changes if they're all this flavorful. Just hope that the chicken would be fully cooked without the residual pinkness. We should have also read the signs about the automatic 20% gratuity before ordering takeout. It would have been a better experience dining in as we're already charged the gratuity. P.S. There is a 5% service charge + 20% mandatory gratuity. Even with takeout orders, there is an automatic 20% gratuity added which is kind of crazy in my opinion. We failed to see this when entering.

    Hudson & Nash is conveniently located inside the Hilton, which makes it an easy option if you're staying at the hotel or nearby. The service was fine and the space itself is pleasant enough, but overall the food was pretty mediocre -- nothing terrible, just not memorable or worth going out of your way for. One thing that really threw me off was the number of birds flying inside and landing on tables. I actually like birds, but seeing them around where people are eating made me uncomfortable, especially from a hygiene standpoint. It honestly distracted from the experience and made it hard to fully enjoy the meal.

    Lasagna Scomposta

    My husband and I decided to have dinner here and sat at the bar. It was the end of the night, we sat at the bar. The bartender was great. Provided suggestions and was patient while we made a decision. I tried something new; Lasagna Scomposta. The Food was delicious and filling.

    Nothing special but an overall solid breakfast bowl. The bacon was a bit overcooked but the eggs and tots made up for it. Not a lot of flavor or seasoning but it's a quick breakfast dish. Overall worth a try

    Grabbed a late lunch/early dinner with the family during Comic Con (2025). We parked in the hotel parking structure, so it was convenient. We had our kid with us, so we couldn't sit at the bar upstairs. Since it was Comic Con weekend, we were given a special menu, so choices were limited. No complaints. The food we ordered was filling and delicious. We did not have to wait at all for a table. Service was relatively quick considering how many people were there. Our food also came out quickly. With exception to receiving 2 BLT sandwiches with avocado and no kids chicken tenders, everything was fine. The tenders came out quickly. There's not much I can say in this review. I'm not sure if the noise level is normally this high, and if prices are usually this high. All I can say is that it seems on par with Comic Con weekend.

    Came here for Mother's Day brunch and honestly, the food was so good. Oysters, poke, omelet station, prime rib, salmon... and that lobster mac and cheese? My whole family was seriously impressed with the quality and variety. Our server seemed a bit over it, probably post-Mother's Day rush vibes, but no big deal. We'll definitely be back to celebrate again (and eat way more). Oh, and shoutout to my espresso martini, which was absolutely on point. Then, as if I had not eaten enough that week, I went back after the bartender told me how good their wings are.. and he wasn't kidding, they were SO good!!

    This was my first meal after arriving in SD and I was so happy I didn't have to travel far. Restaurant looks new or newly renovated and very appealing. There is plenty of seating and the decor makes you feel like you're on a yacht. The views are priceless being right on the bay, absolute perfect location with both indoor and outdoor seating. Because the weather is so appealing, the servers left the door open, no doubt making it easier for them to go in and out, but the downside to this is that the birds know food is inside and they are not shy about finding their way to it. I looked down while waiting for my meal to see a bird eating crumbs off the table by my feet. Fortunately it did not fly above my table, but I did keep an eye out for that. My server was awesome! So cheerful and helpful. He gave me a recommendation for the double burger and it did not disappoint. Easily one of the best burgers I have ever had. So flavorful and moist, I wanted one to take home! It was so good. Perfect start to my trip.

    We had breakfast at Hudson & Nash during our stay at the Hilton Bayfront, and it was a great way to start the day. The Eggs Benedict and Egg Sandwich were both delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The location is super convenient if you're staying at the hotel, with beautiful bayfront views and a relaxed, modern ambiance. Service was on the mark ! It's spot that is perfect and convenient for a leisurely morning if you are staying here. Overall, solid food, great location.

My boyfriend and I had been…read moreon a half-day tour beforehand, but I saw that False Idol was near our hotel and I insisted we stop in for a cocktail before calling it a night. I knew it was a speakeasy but he did not. I was trying to double-check on my phone that Craft & Commerce was the right restaurant its housed in (yes) when he tried to jet set off down the block "to keep looking" rather than listen to me. I yelled, "MOTHER!" by accident and then he did truly leave me hahaha. He resurfaced a few minutes later, and then we walked in. It was 5:15 at the time, so 15 minutes after opening. I had NO IDEA how popular this spot was, nor anything about its nation-wide reputation. I actually didn't know that until two days ago when a Yelp-friend at home here in Richmond, Virginia, exclaimed excitedly when I told her we stopped in. The host who greeted us was kind, informed us there had been a line to get in that day, but that they had one barrel left; we jumped on it of course. It was happy hour, so the first cocktail I ordered was dirt cheap at $9. It was the Imperial Hawaiian with gin, rum, lemon, pineapple, and orgeat. I really shouldn't have ordered a second drink after that one, but I did have the classic Saturn later on in the night and it was absurdly good! Definitely my favorite of the two. The moody tiki vibe was so cool and fun. They even had frogs you could play on the tables. We had some fun neighbors too, which livened up the experience even more. We had a great time and both walked out heavily buzzed. We were asleep by 8 that night, but it was worth it!

Once inside seating is first come first served so the place is insanely crowded with people trying to get drinks. Service is a little confusing as the waiters will come up to you with a menu asking for your order instead of an order at the bar type of thing. Once we actually got a seat things were okay. The menu is mostly rum drinks since this is a rum bar however since I'm not the biggest fan I ordered the only thing with tequila on the menu. My drink was actually really good, it was refreshing, not too sweet or strong at all. I just wish there would be more variety.

I parked on the street close to the dinner spot I went to and then walked over to Charade. Ambiance (5/5): Charade is a speakeasy so here's your clue. It's located inside Balboa. Look for the room with the arcade games and you're on the right track. Once you enter the speakeasy, you'll immediately be impressed with the old school charm. It seats roughly 20-30 people and there's a bar on one end and a stage on the other end. Old school red curtains add to the vibe. And here's the best part. On Mondays, it's jazz night. Local musicians will play which makes for a great time. Service (3/5): There was one bartender working when we were there. Overall, she provided pretty good service. There was one comment she made which rubbed me the wrong way but no biggie. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior so were on a liquid diet. I did notice that they have a few snacks available like popcorn. Drinks (4.5/5): When you think of speakeasies, you think of elevated cocktails. I look for creativity and an interesting blend of flavors and ingredients. The menu here, while not huge, has some interesting options. Outside of the menu itself, the prices are reasonable (especially for California). And they make you stiff drinks which is always appreciated. Taking into account the cocktails and the ambiance, Charade is an awesome laid-back speakeasy. Make sure to stop by on a Monday for jazz night. That takes things up a notch.
