- MMichaelVancouver / British Columbia •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe met up with old friends at Dockside1953 for an anniversary celebration. The atmosphere around the fire pit table was impressive and kept us warm during the evening. The service was excellent and not rushed at all. Our server was always on cue when pouring our wines and bringing the next drink. The food was outstanding. Both my friend and I had the filet mignon. We're both meat connoisseurs, and the steak here was the best I've had at any restaurant (or elsewhere for that matter). My buddy is a San Diego resident (I'm from Canada), and he'd never eaten here before. Dockside 1953 has become his new favorite restaurant. Our wives had the chicken and drugstore burger and loved it. Highly recommend.More infoDockside 1953Price: Moderate• Californian• Mission Beach•4.4
- HHamiltonvipSan Diego •11 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMan, I noticed a few bad reviews for this place but we totally disagree. This is a cool, smaller restaurant attached to the Hotel Valencia. It has a nice u-shaped bar with what seemed to be mostly locals hanging out talking with the staff. Upscale vibe but not "stuffy" La Jolla vibe. The cocktails were amazing and fairly creative. We also thought the food was excellent, contrary to what a few other folks have said. The braised short rib Mao, crispy pumpkin squash, and twinkie ceaser were the standouts. Only minor downsides were that you can smell the seals a little bit and it was a bit chilly inside, as the door was kept open. Overall we really enjoyed our experience.More infoThe Whaling BarPrice: Expensive• Californian• La Jolla•4.5
