Excellent selection of spirits (Top Shelf)! Food was amazing. Steaks cooked to perfection. A bit on the pricy side, but worth it in my opinion. The duck was also cooked perfectly with a crispy seasoned skin that was spot on. We ordered the crispy mushrooms. Not what we expected but so good we ordered another dish with our dinner. We had the Basque Cheesecake and the Crème Brûlée. Both were outstanding. The restaurant itself has a rich mahogany feel and comfortable booths. Our waiter was always checking on us and making sure we had everything we need The family had a great first experience and will be back for more! Cheers! read more

Moe's in Mission Beach is a must when you're in San Diego. What we love most is they're an elevated steakhouse but are a true neighborhood joint. Their locals are both actually local but also have many out of town regulars like us since so many travel to enjoy the amazingness of San Diego. We try to stay as close to Moe's as we can when we visit because they're in the perfect spot at the edge of Mission and the start of Pacific Beach where all the fun is. The food and cocktails are as good as the service. It's easy to chat up a new friend at the bar because their San Diego happiness is contagious. There were a number of new recipes on the cocktail menu this trip. They had me at "Party With Elvis." Although I was drawn to the fun name, the walnut-infused bourbon was too enticing to pass up, especially because they paired it with Montenegro (Amaro) and sweet vermouth. So it's a fancy Manhattan variation. It was delish!!!!!! Make sure when you go to the amazing beaches next time in SD, check out Moe's. You'll love the food and cocktails as much as the vibe.

Ambiance is drive bar vibes meets old school steakhouse vibes. Food was good. First course garlic knots we were not impressed with those, nothing too special just regular garlic knots & not good ones. Caesar's salad was amaaaaaazingggg very fresh & fishy tasting topped w dried prosciutto of some sort. Wagyu was very good, very rich a bit over salted but over all a nice dish. Potatoes were good they were definitely not a purée but we very yummy. Duck was interesting, my friend who ordered it enjoyed it very much but both agreed it was also over salted. Now I will go back for the BUTTER CAKE it was everything, soft, flavorful, unlike any butter cake I've had. Service was 3/5 read more

I loved Moe's. We were staying nearby and eyed this place as a must visit, and were able to stop in after a lonnng day and had the best service from Caitlin. We enjoyed sitting in a booth in the bar area. Cocktails were a great start: martinis and old fashioneds. Up next was the salad: Caesar and wedge. Caesar was TOP NOTCH. For mains we enjoyed the filet with the best horseradish cream, Cacio e Pepe and Braised Beef Cheek Tortelloni. The flavor of the tortelloni was literally SOOO good. If I had to get only one thing, I'd recommend that. I'd go back here in a heart beat. Only downside was that they were out of baked potatoes. read more

We visited Moe's for happy hour and this place is still one of my favorites in town. My top hits were the burger, French onion soup and the dirty martini with blue cheese olives. I didn't love the aioli on the sliders and I found the steak skewers to be tough and overdone for my liking although the mashed potatoes were delicious. Great service and always a cool vibe. Highly recommend! read more

The moment we walked in to the restaurant we knew we were going to love it. It's cute, quaint and had a good ambiance. We came to celebrate my husbands birthday and he found this spot on our trip to Mission Beach. Our server Nick was AMAZING and recommended the best drinks and entrees for our special evening! They had a special not on the menu, mussels and sausage in white wine sauce, that was paired so nicely with my arrabbiata pasta and he recommended we add bacon to our potato purse which was fire. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are visiting. read more

Moe's - Steakhouses Near Me - San Diego, California

Oh my god I am so sorry but this was the worst food I've had in a long time. The tuna crudo had the weirdest tasting spicy ?plum? sauce and prosciutto to try to complement it? So strange and off-putting. The off-menu tomahawk tasted kinda rubbery and was like $200. Literally go anywhere else. It was the worst meat my boyf and I have ever paid for. I really wanted to like this place but wtf PS house red wine on happy hour is great though! Service was great !!! Loved our waiter. But seriously don't come here read more

There has been a steakhouse in this location since the 1950s however this Moe's version has been open since 2022. It's a classic old school steakhouse but to me it feels more like a bar that serves food vs a steakhouse. Our server was very polite and was probably the highlight of the meal to be honest. The food itself was just OK but I really did like the ambience and it was definitely a lively and very loud place to have dinner. Parking is very difficult in this part of town, we were lucky to find a street spot a few blocks away, however, you may have to walk some blocks so be prepared for that. Inside is pretty small and darkly lit and the first thing you'll notice when you enter is the giant bar. There are tables next to that and in the back. We sat near the bar so it was extremely loud during our meal. We could hardly hear each other at the table, although it was nice to hear everyone having a good time. I started off with a French Onion Soup, which was actually very nice. It was a bit too salty but the broiled cheese on top made up for it, and I would say it was my favorite dish of the night. After that, I followed up with the Filet Mignon and thought it was just OK. It was a bit dry and lacked any sort of seasoning and just didn't have a lot of flavor. It was not bad but far from what some of the other steakhouses in San Diego would serve. Overall Moe's would be a nice option for a date if you live close by, but I would not suggest to people driving far or to those visiting San Diego. There are better options around town. read more

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what truly elevated our experience was the incredible service and unforgettable food. Lorriane was an absolute gem--attentive without being intrusive, genuinely friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made excellent recommendations, anticipated our needs, and even remembered small details from our initial conversation. It felt like we were being hosted by a close friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best time possible. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The appetizer we started with was great, the charcuterie board. The steaks, sides and pasta were cooked to perfection!!! Oh and the dessert....those were the ideal finish--rich but not overwhelming. You can tell the kitchen puts real thought and care into every plate. Dining here wasn't just a meal--it was a full experience, from the first greeting to the final bite. Thank you Lorriane and the others. We'll absolutely be back, and we'll be telling everyone we know to visit. A rare find where service and cuisine both shine at the highest level. read more

Took my family here and had an amazing experience from start to finish. We loved the atmosphere, and Gaza was such an attentive and welcoming server--truly made us feel taken care of. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, and the bartender made the perfect Ranch Water. We ordered the New York Strip with mashed potato purée and J1 sauce, and it was absolutely top-tier in both flavor and preparation. My family also tried the charcuterie board and loved it so much. Every bite was a hit. Overall, a fantastic experience made even better by having the game on (and the Rams winning!). We'll definitely be back. read more

Best steakhouse around! Such a great spot. Perfect for dates. Groups. Solo at the bar. This place has what you need. Best steak is probably the strip but they are all very good. You can't go wrong. The dessert are fabulous. Get the butter cake! Also, the crème brûlée. We will be going back for those by themselves. read more

I would most definitely come back our server decanted our wine upon arrival. We had a Negroni and a smoked old-fashioned. Both perfect. At the recommendation of the server, we had the Hamachi appetizer which was a special. It was absolutely incredible with a little bit of Chicharron and a light citrus cream sauce. For dinner, we both had the duck cooked perfectly with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon wine sauce. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was on point. The food was outstanding.. read more

***happy hour review*** I've been wanting to check out happy hour or "Social Hour" .as they call it, at Moe's for a while. First off, I like the ambience, I enjoy the dark/red steakhouse vibes. The bar also has some very comfy seats. We had the steak skewers (comes with mashed potatoes), the olives with goat cheese and the sliders. I thought they were all tasty. I also had an old fashioned for $9. I wish they had a few more HH drink options but it was all good. The only con is parking is tough around here. read more

This past visit was our favorite and most delicious to date. Everything we ate was cooked perfectly and flavors were on point The cacio e pepe is just unmatched by any other place I've tried at in SD. Definitely a reason we keep coming back. But they added this focaccia de recco bread service and HOLY SMOKES. We could have eaten 4 of these things. It was like a lil deep dish pizza but 10x better. And the fresh grated cheese on top just wonderful. It's def on the pricier side but I'd get it again haha It was also my friends birthday so we got the surprised with the butter cream cake and omg this was something I didn't know I needed in my life. 10/10 would get again. read more

Food was fantastic, would've liked to see a bigger dessert menu, well greeted and checked on by other staff members more than the waiter, saw and heard him take his time and speak with the table next to me a lot more than he did with me, but it might have been that they were drinking a lot more than I was and would probably yield a better tip. Although I always tip more than 20%for above and beyond service and less for just doing the bare minimum. read more

It was a wonderful dinner! read more

Simply the best. No other way to say it. The wedge salad is honestly the best wedge I've ever had and the Gorgonzola is the beeeesst dressing. The steaks are (obviously) the best in PB/Mission Beach area (sorry to the haters that disagree) and the mashed potato puree? CMOOONN that's good. The ambiance is the coolest and their social hour is simply the best. Like yeah I want filet mignon skewers why wouldn't I? The only issue is the parking. Very limited street parking (especially on the weekends and summer) read more

Moe's was everything I wanted it to be and more. I wanted a good steak for my birthday, and they delivered. They have an extensive liquor selection and wine list.

The steaks were absolutely perfect, cannot say enough about how great this dinner was. It is so cozy, has an old school steakhouse vibe.

Hubby planned a date night at Moe's. The restaurant has a dine in side while the other side is more of a casual bar type setting. We had reservations for the restaurant side. Our server was super nice and attentive. Hubby had the dirty martini while I had the espresso martini. There are only a few places that actually make an espresso martini really good and this is one of them. I went for the lobster pasta while hubby had the duck , both dishes I would highly recommend . We tried the mushroom dish for our sides it was just ok. (Wouldn't order again) We also ordered a side of mac & cheese which was so delicious (definitely order again) Moe's is a great place for a date night or you can swing by the other side for drinks if you want a lowkey vibe type of night. We will definitely be back! Plus it's just a walking distance from the ocean. Can't beat that too! read more

We came in on a Saturday night for date night. We were very excited to check this spot out! The vibe is super fun. Really cozy atmosphere. My husband had the whiskey business cocktail. Definitely not a very well made drink. Average at best. Our server seemed sweet but the service was very rushed and we didn't see her much through our dinner. We had the wedge and French onion soup to start. Both were ok. For dinner we had the short rib and a baked potato. The short rib had potential to be incredible. The meat was cooked perfectly but the risotto was so overly salted it was basically inedible. Whoever was on risotto needs to taste it before sending it out. I think the salt shaker was accidentally dumped into the pot. We were both very disappointed. To spend $170 and get a meal that is just average is a big bummer. read more

Great place. Moe's is our go-to place in Mission Beach. One complaint. When the check comes, it is 20% 22% or 25%. What happened to 18% or even 15%. I know i can do my own tip, but let's not be so presumptuous as to suggest a 25% tip! read more

I guess "disappointed" would be how I walked away from this dining experience. First off, from the outside the place is really oddly plain. You wouldn't walk by and say "Oh, I really need to try this place". Inside is a different story. A very typical upscale steakhouse vibe with really nice ambiance. Server seemed very nice and professional but immediately upsold us bottled water by telling me the regular water is not filtered (when I asked). So it starts. We paid for the bottled water. Unlike a typical steakhouse, no bread and butter. If you do want bread, you pay $18 for 4 pieces. All good, we did that as well. Now to the food. Shrimp cocktail was good as expected. My wife ordered French onion soup as her main which she said was wonderful. My daughter ordered 9oz filet cooked medium and when it arrived, it looked like 5 or 6 oz. She said it was good but definitely was tiny. My sea bass arrived cold and was definitely mid at best. Kicker, I had 2 Makers 46 old fashioneds...$38...saywhatnow? We are not cheap but we at least appreciate getting our money's worth when splurging. Probably would not repeat... read more

It's been awhile since we've experienced such friendly and attentive service! My fiance chose where we made reservations for our anniversary dinner and I'm glad he found this spot because I never consider this area near Mission Bay when looking for food. What we ordered: * lemon pepper calamari * 14 oz NY strip steak with horseradish cream * loaded baked potato * linguini & clams Everything was delicious! The standouts to me were the calamari and linguini and clams (prob bc I'm a seafood girl). The calamari came with arugula and tomato's and a basil aioli that was *chefs kiss* Loved that we could have a very lovely meal in a nice outdoor setting bc we wanted our dog with us. Even though it was cold, it wasn't bad with the covered area and heaters. The staff were so sweet, super attentive, checking in pretty often but not an overwhelming amount of times (s/o to Toni!). They had cute touches like giving us an anniversary card and comped champagne and a dessert. Definitely would come back here or their sister restaurant next door! Only negative is parking sucks! read more

Went to this place for my birthday dinner. They put 3 of us in a tiny booth with no leg room. I explained that I'm disabled and need room to extend my leg. After waiting about 15 minutes for the "hostess" to reappear, we decided to eat elsewhere. Major disappointment read more

Moe's is in a lively beachside area. It is dimly lit with a big bar that attracts much of its attention. It qualifies as a steakhouse but is not up to par with other steakhouses as far as quality steaks. I did like their Focaccia bread which is stuffed with cheese and dazzled with homemade tomato sauce. The Focaccia bread was almost like a pizza. The crab cakes we ordered were just meh. Furthermore, I ordered a rare 18oz bone in USDA prime ribeye which came out as a disappointment. I didn't even come out rare. It was more on the medium side. Also, the quality of their "prime" steak was not there. The service and atmosphere is awesome but if you want a good steak, you might want to go elsewhere. read more

We had a res for 530pm on a Saturday, arrived 10 minutes early and were seated right away in the patio (husband's suggestion). The hosts were aloof. Our table for 2 was tight, we asked for inside seating but were told there was nothing available, not a problem. Had I made the res, we would have been inside because - flies. Our server Nick showed up quickly with great recommendations and was very patient as my date perused the drink menu (even though he's been looking at it online since he made the res a week prior). Drinks: Chardonnay - Daou, Paso Robles x2 Old Fashion Starter - Lemon Pepper Calamari, this was phenomenal! I am not a huge fan of calamari - this was the best by far. With arugula, Parmesan, tomatoes & a squeeze of lemon! Chef's kiss! Entrees: Me: 15 oz. Boneless Rib-eye (medium, don't come for me) with caramelized onions on top. I think the onions gave a little sweet flavor which was fine, next time I'll opt for the Matrie d' Butter. 5 oz. went home. Hubs: Pan roasted, Alaskan Halibut, well there was not a crumb in sight after 10-15 minutes. Needless to say he absolutely enjoyed that. Side: Potato Puree - beautiful, smooth, GARLICKY, perfection. Black Truffle Mac & Cheese - hands down, the best truffle mac I've ever had. So much truffle flavor, I didn't want to share . Dessert: BUTTER CAKE - Do not skip! We had to take it to go because I was so full. I didn't get to experience the gelato in its perfection but it still gave the creaminess alongside the berries. Worth every bite! Our bill was $233, roughly the same amount we've paid at other steak joints around the city. The outdoor ambiance was decent, the food was great but our server was on top of it and took care of us, thanks Nick! read more

Located in the heart of Mission Beach. You can either find a street parking or park by the recreational parking of Santa Clara Point or Mission Bay with a short walk. Be aware of the parking restriction, or you can end up with a tow fee higher than your expensive dinner here. The restaurant was very vibrant. Especially at night. The place was very busy and fairly clean. It's best you make a reservation or test out your luck. I was very lucky with a short wait to our outside table. They have both indoor and outdoor seating shared with Molly's; the sister company next door, which serves brunch and coffee. The price point could be as low as 13 dollars for a side/Appétizer. Or high as 90 dollars for their main entre. The food wait time was about 20 minutes before they were served. The portion is small than expected. Don't expect any breadsticks. However, I was expecting more flavors than portions. I would find the whole experience disappointing. The food was on the very salty side, but still with good flavoring. The service was medicore with a lack of attention from our server. For the price point and previous reviews, I was expecting excellent service and food. But I didn't get from neither categories. It was a dismal. Medicore at its best. I just could give this place a 5 star rating but it only earned itself a 3.4 out of 5. read more

Went to Moes for meatball Monday! Was excited to see the institution! Sat at the bar. Welcoming place with hostess which you do not see much anymore! Had olives for appetizer - super salty. But nice portion. Bar staff was attentive but not friendly. Husband ordered the focaccia bread, asked if he could get some meat topping. Answer no! I decided to get bone in ribeye the photos here of their steaks are phenomenal! I wish I had taken a pic. The one I got was super small and dry. Had a great smokiness to it - smell and flavor - but the steak had a freeze dried consistency. I'm a big eater and I passed! As for the meatballs- bland! There is some sort of jelly rolled into the meat. Whatever it is there is no flavor! The kitchen is fast and attentive but the food . Our bill was over $250 for two drinks each, steak was $95. Totally regret this spend! Side note I took the home and on day 3 it was much better. Not $95 better, but it had softened and was edible on top of a salad ! Pass this place! read more

My wife and I have been vacationing to Mission Beach and Pacific Beach area for the last 12 years. We have a lot of our favorite spots and we just added another. Tonight 8/21/2025 we had a fantastic dinner at Moe's! The food was incredible. We both got the duck and we are happy we did. We've eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world including Michelin star restaurants and this was up there with the best duck we've ever had. Very nice portion and cooked to perfection. We ordered two mocktails and they were great. We had exceptional service, our server's name was Alexa. The manager was very kind and accommodating. We finished with two cappuccinos, and they were fantastic. We will definitely come to Moe's when we visit PB in the future . read more
