Amazing restaurant to watch the token San Diego sunset. Make a reservation as far as you can in advance, and request a table close to the viewing window, well worth it. BBQ ribs are a great appetizer!

Duroc pork Cuban, Grilled fish are amazing! Fresh, simple, balanced flavor. A little pricey but worth it for the beautiful atomsphere

Awesome place! People who work here are great! Seafood cocktail, fish, steak, and burgers... All delicious! Used to work across the street, ate there all the time. Way better than the place next door.

We love it here. The view at sunset just does not get any better. The food is great and the service is spectacular. Very attentive staff. But make a reservation

My favorite place! Great atmosphere, and an amazing view of the ocean. Perfect place for dinner, sit down, relax and enjoy the sunset.

Food was amazing! Calamari was perfect and they used big pieces and so were the tacos. The gnocchi was divine.

Great food, bar, service and an unbeatable ocean view. After lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch you can enjoy a stroll down the beach. -Our Fallbrook Branch Manager

Great food, knowledgable servers, everyone was friendly, and the view is amazing. Wonderful place to eat on the beach!

Get the crab cake!! It’s full of crab meat and not all the extra fillers. Really friendly staff too.

A very shellfish-oriented restaurant. Almost every seafood entree was shellfish, and all of them at the bar menu. But you can order the regular menu at the bar if you want.

After dinner, kick your shoes off and walk on the beach; they have spot lights that illuminate the surf rolling in... Awesome finish to the evening.

The quintessential ocean view restaurant with really outstanding food...a staple in the repertoire of local great places to bring out of state friends and family.

Service never disappoints, but I'm not a fan of the remodel. I miss the old Jake's ... dark woods, more privacy, intimate and romantic. Food remains top-notch.

OMG ocean front dining at its best! Did not want to come back to the 28 degree weather on the East Coast!
Chris WhittakerFebruary 21, 2012
The bar is packed at Happy Hour, get there earlier, leave your credit card with the bartender and they'll close you out when your table is ready.

The best part of this restaurant is the view and the orange blossom margaritas. The food is overpriced... I guess your paying for location. Hula pie is a big hunk of ice cream w a grainy bottom crust.
Caroline LiAugust 23, 2016
Wonderful view of the sunset, right on the beach. Bit more pricey than expected.
MuddyAugust 13, 2014
Great views, good swordfish, margaritas. Get the hula pie for dessert.
Lee AllenDecember 27, 2017
Nice view of the ocean and the fish tacos were fantastic.

Another San Diego staple. Relaxing evening dining atmosphere. Tasty swordfish. Make reservations for window seating, especially during the summer months...you won't be disappointed. Read more

Hula pie. The legend is true. The best part is the Oreo crust on the bottom. Amazing.
TolgaJanuary 26, 2016
Not cheap , good food but not perfect . Very nice view especially for sunset .
Tracy LiuSeptember 20, 2011
The combination of roasted garlic soup and roasted turkey sand which = super filling and definitely worth the $15 restaurant week deal!
Jon DarveauFebruary 1, 2018
This place is really good but parking is a nightmare. If you can get here through means other than driving yourself, do so!

The service was super-quick, and the scallops to die for.
