We 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.

First we enjoyed happy hour on the patio. The oysters' price and quality was excellent as were the happy hour drinks. We went inside for dinner where we had a reservation. The view from both the patio and the dining seats were beautiful as we were able to see the view of the bay and downtown both in daylight and as the sun set. We enjoyed the asparagus and corn salad and the salmon entree--both excellent!!!
