For generations of San Diegans, the “Seahorse” symbol of The Marine Room has long stood for its dramatic on-the-surf location and California coastal cuisine. Considering this rare blend of culinary excellence, uncompromising service and beachfront setting, it’s no wonder The Marine Room has become a true San Diego landmark. We invite you to San Diego's iconic dining destination and experience how each tide brings something new to The Marine Room. You’re not reserving a table – you’re joining a 80-year tradition.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Michael Vaughn

From the OpenTable editors: This is an iconic La Jolla gem. What was French fine-dining is now a standout sustainable seafood spot serving local bluefin tuna with edamame and pickled ginger. The dining room is still the place to go for a killer oceanfront view—especially during high tide, when waves crash against the windows.

    There's no better place for a nice dinner with an amazing view. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and professional. Our filet and entire meal was exceptional! They even printed a special menu for us wishing us a "Happy 20 Year Anniversary" on it!! That's next level above and beyond service!

    Celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. They made everything perfect with a special note on the menu recognizing our anniversary, champagne, perfect table, and excellent service. We have eaten here many times before and it’s always fantastic.
