Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Cardiff By The Sea

Our experience was wonderful start to finish. We came in to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday and were led to a cozy booth with a view of the sunset over the beach outside. Cocktails were fantastic, and we got a couple of apps but the brussel sprouts stole the show. Definitely don't skip them! Our short rib and seared ahi tuna entrees were amazing as well, to the point that we shared both because we couldn't decide which was better. And of course, the staple hula pie for the birthday boy topped off our visit. Service was great the whole way through and Alicia took such great care of us. Thank you Jake's!! We'll definitely be back next time we’re in San Diego.

We’ve been here several times And each time never disappointed with the food Each meal we’ve ordered is absolutely delicious And the service is always on point

Great spot for dinner/music, but closed patio too noisy...

This dinner was for my birthday and it was wonderful!! The sunshine roll was delicious, followed by the amazing fresh baked bread. Then our entrees, coconut crab crusted Mahi Mahi and Sesame crusted seared ahi, which were both delicious! The service was excellent, as was the view of the sunset from our seat at the window as requested. Thank you to everyone at Pacific Coast Grill who helped make my birthday special.

Once again, Steak48 hit it out of the park. With the top-notch service from Brian and his recommendation for the 14 oz gold plus charred strip steak, I can honestly say it’s one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The meal was perfectly timed and prepared to perfection. We ended the night with key lime pie and their signature butter cake, each crafted to an unforgettable taste. This is definitely San Diego’s best restaurant.
