That being said, there’s still a handful of seaside restaurants, bars and grills that specialize in everything from fresh seafood favorites to classic baja California cuisine. Regardless of what kind of food you’re in the mood for, you can find it一along with equally fabulous views一in this beloved SoCal city. Here are some of San Diego’s best waterfront dining options.
