San Diego Restaurants and Dining

New restaurants come and go in San Diego and today's darling may sport tomorrow's "closed" sign on its door. The restaurants we list here are those old standbys, the ones that people keep standing in line for year after year.
Bertrand at Mister A's
Often voted among the best restaurants in town (if money is no object). their menu focuses on Continental and American cuisine and their views are hard to beat.
Corvette Diner
1950s diner decor and a lively wait staff make this place a favorite of kids of all ages. In the lively Hillcrest neighborhood.
George's at the Cove, La Jolla
Locals vote this La Jolla place among the city's best restaurants year after year. It has great views, too.
Hash House A Go Go
A local favorite for its breakfasts and family dining. They call their cuisine "twisted farm food."
Old Town Mexican Cafe
This Old Town favorite is so popular that you're likely to be faced with a wait - and they don't take reservations. The fact that people hang around anyway gives and idea of how good their food is. Specialties include carnitas, ribs and fajitas.
Point Loma Seafoods
A bit outside the tourist areas, but there's always a line out the door at this local, fresh seafood shop.
Sammy's Woodfired Pizza
A great, moderate-priced pizza and pasta restaurant that's good for dining with kids. They have several locations.
San Diego Happy Hours
This well-designed site helps you find all the food and drink specials, by area, day and time.
The Marine Room, La Jolla
Offering some of the city's best fine dining since 1941.
The Prado at Balboa Park
Gets top votes for outdoor dining and the inside dining area is pretty, too. Local newspaper readers voted it the most romantic restaurant in San Diego for 2007. Some say their bar serves the best mojitos and pisco sours in town.
