    The Godfather's is a classy, old-school restaurant. Red leather booths...waiters in suits. And the food is very good. My sea bass was delicious. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. And on the weekends they have a piano player. There is also reasonably priced valet parking. Highly recommend

    Delicious, top-tier Mexican food. Ambiance is among the finest in all San Diego. Red O service is truly outstanding. Awesome server and bartender checked on us diligently. Three separate managers approached us to assure our satisfaction. This was our first time here, and we will be back frequently. They validate parking for three hours.

    Fantastic 7 AM King Tide experience with waves crashing against the windows. The Holiday Brunch Buffet was fantastic. All preparation and presentation far exceeded expectations. Food was most delicious. Service also great! Beef was exceedingly tender. Omelets also great and a super seafood table. The only possible thing as an improvement world be to add a belt style toaster to allow for higher bagel toast capacity. Dessert choices were also fantastic. We could not have been more satisfied. We’ll return for sure. Thank you.

    Bert was our waiter. He was amazing. He brought such a good energy and showed up within minutes of us being seated. The food is always super tasty and clean. I had the lunch special with half flatbread (pesto ch) and Caesar salad. My husband had the steak tacos. He said they tasted like filet mignon. I’m surprised he didn’t lick the plate. We had the cheesecake for dessert. High recommended.

    If you like fresh seafood, this is definitely the place for you!! But it’s not just the seafood that’s great, their salads and soups are amazing too!! My husband had the clam chowder and it was thick and rich- whole clams (not diced up little pieces)….and I had the chicory salad which was a lot more than just chicory….it had dates, blue cheese, persimmons, pumpkinseeds. I was so delicious that I ate the whole thing (but honestly, it’s a shareable portion). I had the macadamia crusted halibut which was perfectly cooked and the sauce was the perfect accompaniment. My husband had the scallops with squid in risotto….also delicious! We will definitely be back and bring friends next time!!
