Best Waterfront Restaurants in Sorrento Mesa

Good food, excellent sushi and server was attentive. Very loud.

We ordered the chefs Valentine's special. It was delicious. It has a great view of the bay. We habe dined here several times and we always have a great experience.

The Caesar salad was even BETTER than before! The addition of the red pepper coulis, the Parmesan cup, and the little (not too spicy) peppers was FABULOUS! It was even more perfect with the generous portion of salmon. This will be a go-to meal for sure. And I think the Lobster bisque had even more lobster pieces than usual—it’s ALWAYS divine!

Outstanding food. We really liked the appetizer plate, 4 different appetizers, portioned so that a party of three each had a bit of each of the 4. I was a bit disappointed with the service this time. Our server was pleasant and knew his stuff, but he depends too much on his support staff to maintain the table. I had to flag him down for water and empty plates stayed on the table way too long.

We went to Dockside 1953 to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. We wanted to sit outside by the bay, but the weather was chilly. We asked for a table with a fire pit. We were given that, and when I told Kelley (our server) that we tended to be cold, she brought over an additional heater and gave us both blankets! We enjoyed our delicious dinner warm and comfortable. Kelley was very conscientious and friendly, and took great care of us during our stay. We had a wonderful dinner and a fantastic evening. Thanks!
