Their seafood is tasty. I've ordered their craft cakes and in the past have ordered their clam chowder. I just wish they tell the customers about the surcharge prior to receiving the bill. Tbh, the customers shouldn't have to suffer paying a surcharge when the food already is at its prime due to its location. Just saying... read more

Great food! Excellent view! You can't beat eating by the waterfront. I like to sit in the patio which is closer to the water. Keep in mind though that nighttime temperatures usually drop in san Diego especially by the water so bring a jacket. They do have heater around but i still find it chilly. It is in a convenient location. We stayed next door at the Marriott marquis marina and walked over for food. read more

Sally's is just a stones throw from Seaport Village right by the Grand Hyatt. Came here for lunch on an early lunch Sunday at 11:30 am. This is an upscale seafood restaurant in the most quintessential downtown San Diego location. For food the highlight was the Fish and Chips which came at the recommendation of our waiter. While they are pricey at $35 I knew I had to try them when I saw they were made from Sea-bass as opposed to the usual cod. They were absolutely delicious, with juicy tender fish and a crispy exterior. Our fries had room for improvement, we got the ends of the fries which were a bit over crunchy and a little disappointing for a restaurant at this price point. The other highlight was the octopus which was sublime: fresh, just chewy enough, and bursting with flavor. The lobster roll was solid and the crab cakes were ok. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. I would definitely come back for that sea-bass fish and chips! read more

Came here during a conference with my colleagues and sat outside on the patio. The weather was perfect and the service was helpful without being overbearing. We had a variety of dishes between us and all and there were no complaints. The salad I ordered was well perfectly with perfectly seared scallops, tender shrimp, and a butter lettuce with plenty of toppings. It was plenty to enjoy as a full meal. The seafood sampler was also a hit and was well fresh and prepared with a nice presentation. We tried several nearby restaurants during the conference and this was probably our top pick. I'd recommend making reservations since they do fill up with conferences, but it wasn't too busy when we went. read more

We came to Seaport Village to check out all the shops and restaurants. Once we got hungry we checked out Yelp for guidance. Sally's won the vote!! As we entered, we were greeted with a smile. We were quickly seated inside. The tables with the view of the water were taken. We ended up ordering the crab cakes, the grass fed burger with bacon, and a side salad. All were really good. We've enjoyed other menu items before. The Chilean Sea Bass, the Ribeye, and the bread has been delicious as well. Overall, it was a success! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very well maintained and nautical. They have a nice bar as well. We will be back soon. read more

We had dinner at Sally's while visiting the area. The food came out pretty fast, which was nice. Overall the food was good, but a bit on the salty side. The clam chowder was quite salty, and I also tried the kids' burger that I ordered for my daughter and it was a little salty as well. One thing we really enjoyed was the signature bread and butter. It was simple but very good and a great start to the meal. I think many people come here more for the drinks and the nice view. For us, we were just looking for a good dinner after a long day out. Overall it was an okay experience, but the seasoning could be better. read more

I was on jury duty and visiting place downtown for lunch.  Sally's is near a trolley stop so I dropped by. I ordered the fish and chips.  Batter was thin and crunchy.  The mix of salt and pepper perfectly accentuated the mild chilean sea bass.  Loved the fresh, tender, moist, and flaky sea bass.  Fries were big and full of fried potato flavor.  This is one of my favorite places to get fish and chips. Complimentary soda water was delicious.  Bubbly with a clean flavor that went down smooth.  Some places have soda water that have a bit of a bitter flavor or aftertaste but not here.  This is one of the best. Staff was nice and service speedy.  There is a nice view of the marina.  Very relaxing spot for lunch. read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday with the dog. Nice touch having a menu just for dogs. Restaurant is actually part of the Hyatt, seafood based. 4 entrees and 2 glasses of wine ran about $200 so keep that in mind. Portions are pretty good as well left full. Lobster roll was a little low on lobster. Seafood sampler was great and nice unique flavors. Chicken sandwich wasn't anything special nor was their poke bowl. Service is great and nice environment being right there on the edge of the water. Overall not a bad spot to stop by and check out. read more

Food: great, non fussy food. Items are as described per the menu, you get what you pay for. It's a little expensive but we appreciated that it was relatively casual, uncomplicated food. Service: decent and went very well Ambiance: good location with quieter settings in the afternoon during the weekday. Good place for business lunches. read more

Probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The food itself wasn't the main issue--it was the service and overall attitude. The staff came off like they were doing us a favor just by letting us eat there. Super unwelcoming vibes, almost like they didn't need or want our business. Honestly, this place needs a full retrain on how to treat customers. Dining out should feel inviting, not like you're inconveniencing the staff. Save yourself the frustration and pick literally any other spot. Do yourself a favor--skip Sally's. Terrible terrible terrible. read more

Sally's is across from the water, nice setting! We came for a nice lunch. The food and service were good but there are better options around. The Cobb salad was nice and refreshing, all the seafood cooked perfectly. The lobster roll was tasty and nice big pieces of lobster. The kids meal was KRAFT MAC N CHEESE!!! Had we known this we definitely wouldn't have ordered it! Also I seemed to have missed all the signs about the 6% service charge for nothing! Really disappointing way to end the meal. read more

We love coming to Sally's as a family for a special occasion like a new job or Mother's Day! We had a lovely early Sunday dinner complete with the Padres winning game on the TVs! We enjoyed the burger, blackened halibut sandwich, lobster roll, chicken sandwich and fish tacos, the quality is always great as well as the service! We celebrated Mother's Day with the tres leches mousse which was delicious! Overall a solid restaurant to come to for great eats and a great view of the San Diego marina! read more

I ate at Sally's on Sunday and had a spectacular meal with a great view. There was a mix up with my room at the Hyatt Grand and had to check-out early. As an apology from the Hyatt, the front desk manager walked me over to Sally's to inform them they were to give me a $100 credit on my bill. A couple friends came down to eat with me before I left for the airport and we had a great lunch. Frank, our server, was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. When I pulled my card out to pay, Frank informed me the entire lunch had been taken care of! I insisted on paying, but Frank wouldn't allow me to. Sally's is a Hyatt owned restaurant. I only stay at Hyatt hotels when available and this type of hospitality is why! I will absolutely stay at the Hyatt Grand in San Diego again and will be back to dine at Sally's again! Lastly, if you eat there, you MUST get the Grilled octopus appetizer. It was hands down the best octopus I've ever eaten! read more

We had a nice dinner at Sally's. My husband picked this restaurant solely for the doggy menu and the view of the marina. Our puppy girl just turned 10 years old, so we wined and dined her! I saw a lot of mixed reviews, and was a little skeptical about what to expect. We dined on the patio, and really enjoyed ambiance. For starters, if you park in the lot on the left upon entering the marina, Sally's will not validate that parking. However, they validate parking if you park at The Grand Hyatt. The food is a bit pricey here, so expect a hefty bill if you plan on having a few cocktails. The branzino & swordfish were cooked well, and the sides were seasoned to our liking. Honestly, the star of the show was the tropical cheesecake. My husband said it may be in his top 5 cheesecakes of all time. Our puppy girl also enjoyed her surf & tarf entree. We always include her, and are happy they gave us a pup menu for her. We had a quaint evening at Sally's! read more

Sally's is a great little place in Seaport Village if you're staying in the Hyatt. The prices are a little more than some of the other close by restaurants, but the food is always solid. Recent renovations also make the restaurant more open air and so it feels like San Diego, where you're sitting outside all the time enjoying the consistent weather. I went twice on this trip and the first time got the fish and chips, which was more heavily battered than I remembered it but very good. The second time we went, we got octopus appetizer and stuffed mushrooms. Because I've had a late lunch I got the salt roasted carrots as my entrée and it was a hefty portion even for a side. I also tasted brussels sprouts which were delicious. The highlight of Sally's is the bar. The staff is so accommodating will make any drink you can think of and are always friendly. You truly can't go wrong with this restaurant in San Diego. read more

We dined here for lunch right after church to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. Sally's has one of the best views of the Embarcadero Marina and the San Diego weather couldn't be more beautiful. IMPT: If you park at the Hyatt hotel's self-parking, Sally's will validate your parking ticket. We were one of the first patrons to check in after they opened and were sat at what we believe is their nicest table (on the corner inside the restaurant but in their covered patio right next to the boardwalk). We were served by Frank who was excellent, and provided the BEST service to us during our entire lunch. We started with an order of their house bread and stuffed mushrooms to eat, combined with a revolver cocktail & Heineken zero beer to drink. For our lunch, my wife & I shared their delicious fish & chips which we've had before. It's one of the most tastiest fish & chips we've ordered. To wrap up, our server Frank surprised us with a "Happy Anniversary" flourless chocolate cake which was very tasty. As great as our food was (and I hope I clearly conveyed how delicious all our food tasted), our table location and Frank's service surpassed the food. So much so, that we want to return and bring friends of ours to try their dinner menu. We're not huge fans of corporate, franchise, or hotel collaboration restaurants, but we honestly think Sally's is one of San Diego's best kept secrets that fly under the radar but are actually very delicious establishments which have excellent servers, and are lucky to have a great view of our city's best waterfront views. read more

We were exploring San Diego, on the trolley tours and came to this area to grab a bite because we were all hungry. As it was mother's day, Sally's had a mother's day menu which was nice! We decided to order just some light bites because we were planning to grab other foods to eat throughout the Trolley Tour. The guys ordered a beer flight, and I got a mimosa. Foodwise- My fiance and I ordered the swordfish, my sister and her husband ordered the steak and eggs, and my parents ordered the burger with fries and we got the oysters for the table to share. Everything tasted so good and I'd definitely want to come back when I come back to the San Diego area! Service was great and our total came out to $225. We noticed a print error because the menus said the oysters were $21 but their system was $23 so we got that corrected luckily before we paid. Great for groups and special occasions! read more

Oh, Sally's, how I love you! My daughter and I have been regulars here for years when we would come to the San Diego Comic-Con. The food is always amazing and they do a good job of theming for SDCC. I miss our old server of many years, Drew, but Jenn was fantastic! My Walnut Old Fashioned was the bomb. The Lost at Sea cocktail my daughter had this year was also delicious. My whole branzino was melt in your mouth good, my daughter's " Fallout burger ", a comic con special, were both fantastic. See you again, Sally's, at our next Comic Con! read more

What an awesome pup friendly lunch we had here! I was able to make a patio reservation ahead of time, indicating we were traveling with dogs. They have a lovely open patio/restaurant table set up right on the harbor. We were seated and given both dog and people menus (extra points for the pups having their own menu!) Service was EXCELLENT , plus they immediately brought water for the dogs. We had the fish and chips, Baja tacos and the dogs split the "howlin' good chicken" . Everything was fantastic and the fish/chips were the best we ever had with the Chilean Sea Bass. I would definitely come back here thanks to a gold standard lunch experience! read more

Amazing food with the most perfect waterfront views. If you're looking for some elevated food in San Diego, this is the place for you. But fair warning, it is pricy!!! The menu was of course seafood forward which was the exact reason we decided to give Sally's a try. There weren't a ton of options on the menu but honestly, everything sounded delicious. We opted for the octopus appetizer. This was a generous portion and cooked to perfection. It was tender and not chewy at all. For my main, I settled on the swordfish. This is usually not my go to since swordfish can be a little dry but this was certainly not the case at Sally's. It was moist and flavorful. Another generous portion and you were able to choose two sides to accompany your meal. Everything we ate was delicious down to the desserts! If you're looking to splurge a little, give Sally's a try. read more

Sally's Fish House and Bar is located next to Seaport Village and offers breathtaking San Diego Bay views making it the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful weather or a sunset view to end your day. Sally's just reopened after completing a full renovation that now gives a mix of modern elegance and coastal vibes. They serve fresh, locally sourced seafood, handcrafted cocktails, and the menu highlights seasonal ingredients, plus top notch service! I've been on the hunt for the BEST Fish and Chips, and it's safe to say, I found the spot! Sally's Fish & Chips included 2 large Chilean sea bass filets that were breaded to perfection and not greasy. We loved their kids menu too - such great options and the perfect portion!

My cousin and I were attending a Sunday night concert at the Rady Shell, and I was looking for a place where we could have an early dinner outside before walking over to the show. I made a reservation at Sally's for 4:30, as we wanted to take our time and get to the show early. It happened to be Mother's Day. The restaurant didn't look all too crowded, and we were seated right away. Our server was super friendly. Once she took our drink orders, she let us know that they were rolling from the lunch to the dinner menu so if we put in orders quickly, we could order from either menu. She did let us know that that our orders may come out at different times. Anyway, from that point on, service was downhill. Our drinks took forever to come out. I may have ordered another drink, but I didn't want to waste anymore time, so figured I would just get drinks at the show instead. I ordered a classic mojito. It wasn't bad, but a bit on the watery side. The ceviche was good, but very hard to eat given the consistency of the ceviche and the wafer cracker that it was served with it that we broke and used to scoop it up (see photo). For my entree, I chose the ahi poke bowl. It was good and fresh, but I've had better poke at some of the fast casual places around town. My cousin ordered the lobster Mac and house rolls, but they were out of rolls, so she ordered the truffle fries. I was a bit shocked that they were out of rolls by 5PM. Anyway, we were done eating everything else and ready to go by the time the fries came out. When they did, they were not really done, almost as if the oil in the fryer wasn't hot enough. The server was really sweet and realized their mishaps. The fries and the bottled water were taken off of our bill, which was nice. She did suggest that we give them another try on a night that isn't a holiday and isn't a show night. I appreciate her efforts, but also know that this restaurant gets a ton of business from being near the show venue, and the only reason we were there was because it was a show night. On top of that, the food was only OK. The location is simply beautiful, but unfortunately, I have no desire to return. read more

Food: 10/10 1. Clam chowder was so healing! I loved it. Stayed warm when I was eating outside so A+ 2. Shrimp and scallop aguachiles: 9/10. Sauce was more sweet than savory but still super yummy and good amount of spice. I wish there was more scallop than shrimp tho Lobster roll: 9.5/10!!! Super good just wish it was a tiny bit more saucier, just a tad dry but super yummy and filling and good amount of lobster meat! Service: I forgot the waiters name... maybe Alan or Alex or Sam ... but he was very nice and checked on us regularly 10/10 Ambiance was really nice, we sat outside so it was beautiful weather outside. My 3 times together was 93$ before tip. Pretty good for waterfront dining experience. read more

Enjoyed Sally's very much. Was in San Diego for the weekend and went to Sally's for lunch. From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcomed. I had my two dogs and they are very dog friendly. Frankie was my server and he was awesome. He made sure my dogs and I were taken care of. I ordered the Baja clam chowder, fish and chips and a mimosa. The mimosa was really good. The clam chowder was the best I have ever had. Fish and chips were great. The fish was Chilean sea bass. Most fish is either cod or halibut. They have a dog menu and my dogs ate good. They had 5he surf and turf bowl and a turkey dog cigar treat. Overall experience was amazing. Definitely will go back whenever in San Diego. read more

We recently stopped into Sally's for some oysters and martinis and had a good experience. The oysters were good and the martinis were decent. I can't speak to the rest of the food though, as we only had this as a little appetizer before we went out for dinner. The restaurant was quite quiet when we were there and service was good, but nothing to write home about. I can't say that our server was friendly, but it was also early in the evening so they were probably just getting started. The ambience is quite nice as you overlook the water, but I couldn't help but feel that something was just missing in general from the restaurant. Next time I'm in San Diego I will definitely come back to try more dishes read more

Came here for a work dinner recently. Service was great for our group of 10! I ordered the sea bass with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Portion of the fish was generous, and it was cooked perfectly; just wish there were more asparagus and mashed potatoes. Their fries were also delicious (they are the flat, steak style). Their bread is also delicious--nice and fluffy with a good crust. We sat outside and enjoyed the sea breeze and people watching. They have large umbrellas for the sun and some heat lamps when the sun goes down. Personally, I would not come here unless I was expensing the meal just because prices are super steep. But if you're coming for a work dinner, the ambiance, service, and good are great. read more

I dined here for a late lunch with a party of 8 on a Sunday. We had to wait quite some time to be seated, despite there being many large open tables available inside and outside of the restaurant. One seated, it took some time for our waiter to come take our orders as well. I had the ultimate Bloody Mary, oysters and fish and chips. All three were good but just average. Nothing much to rave about and definitely not worth the price. The restaurant is in a very touristy part of town and the view of the bay is beautiful so I can see why everything would be overpriced. It was a fine experience but not sure I would dine here again. read more

We were a party of 4 on the waterfront. Watching the gulls, boats, the setting sun and the ninja skateboarders do their thing. Some people are put off by that level of commotion but it's all good, IMO, at least until large underdressed sweaty people huff by. Otherwise, this little perch by the water is where you want to be. The frosty IPA and strong gin & tonics were brought out post haste. We settled into those as our WEDGE SALAD came out. Crispy iceberg lettuce with giant bleu cheese crumbles, bold hunks of bacon and crunchy nuts and tasty dressing. Dug it. The main event was THE LOBSTER ROLL and THE PORK CHOP. Both were very good. Ride, Sally, Ride and let your mystery ship keep on churnin' out that delicious fare. read more

Somewhat small menu, excellent location right on the harbor at Seaport Village, servers were great and attentive. Menu is slightly pricey- for what you're getting. I don't particularly enjoy going to restaurants and having to work at my food; a seafood cobb salad (around $40) came out like lettuce wraps with what I think was butter lettuce? The pancetta was a nice touch but I sat through a business dinner cutting up my lettuce for a salad with colleagues... so that could certainly use some help. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dishes for the most part but there was nothing that stood out food wise, except possibly the mushroom appetizer- which was tasty and unique. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

Okay, so our VP booked this place for the ambience, of which, it has plenty, very beautiful view. The food though. I ordered the Lobster Roll and they used the parts of the lobster that is up in the claw, very thin, gross, and fishy. I sent it back. I asked for the burger, feeling it was a safe choice, I told him medium well. It came back almost raw. I wasn't going to send it back again, at a company function, so I took it home and gave it to the dogs. So the company lunch I so looked forward to ended up with me getting nothing decent to eat. The appetizers were okay, the empanada was good, the bread and crab cakes so-so. very disappointed and discouraged by this place. read more

One and done. The online menu without prices should've been enough warning. But, Sally's location and last minute reservation availability in the busy San Diego Seaport tourist area beckoned. Being from San Francisco, relatively high dining prices don't usually knock us for a loop. But, Sally's Waterfront Dining's prices were nothing less than OBSCENE. Our bill for two bowls of soup, one salad with addition of flank steak, a minuscule lobster roll with soggy French fries ($34), one glass of wine and a weak, ice laden cocktail added up to a bottom line charge of $196.00 (including a mysterious 6% "surcharge" which turned out to be removable after I never could get a clear explanation of its purpose or justification). FWIW, though some of the items (e.g., the soup) were adequate, the bulk of the food order was mediocre at best. I almost felt sorry for the decent waiter who had to serve the slop and then show you the rip off bill. At the bottom line, there are far better choices in that popular San Diego harbor area (e.g., Brigantine at Portside, Puesto at Headquarters). Even the chain Cheesecake Factory would be a more pleasing and reasonably priced option. read more

To quote the Humungus from Mad Max "Disappointed!". Haven't visited Seaport Village since they started the recent remodeling/destruction process. Sally's has gone through a complete rebuild. It's owned by one of the huge hotels around it. The new building and grounds are beautiful as are most of the staff. We went for an early lunch Sunday. The outside seating was uncomfortably loud so we went inside. The building is modern, clean and minimalist with all the atmosphere of a modern airport lounge. We had a nice table next to the windows. Service started well with drinks but it took 20 minutes for the designer bread to arrive and 30 for the octopus. Both were nice...not earth shattering but OK. I'm a Britt 30 years in the states but I still miss fish and chips...so that's what I ordered. My lovely wife had the tacos and my grandson had the swordfish. Verdict: Swordfish a bit dry but the marinade/sauce was good. Tacos...hard fail. No flavor, dry fish, bean slurry "disgusting" Fish and chips...mediocre at very best. Two small fish pieces fried in breadcrumbs rather than batter. The chips were the right size but dried out and not salted at all. We didn't have salt and pepper on our table and the one I stole was damp so didn't sprinkle well. After all that there was no interest in desert. Conclusion: Service OK certainly pleasant. When I questioned the unexpected 6% surcharge I was told that was for hotel residents but if I insisted (we weren't residents) the he could go get a manager to remove it came with an audible eye roll so I told him not to bother. Total One glass house chard one cocktail and the above food with BS service charge and tip $245. Overall...if I were hosting a corporate event to butter up clients the venue is impressive but limited tho the menu was it under delivered at every level. Not disastrously but way below I'd expect from that ambitious a venue. read more

Choose another restaurant. There are many in the Seaport Village. Don't get the Lobster roll! It was all roll with a few pieces of Lobster which had no flavor at all.
