Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Ocean Beach

The seafood platter had a considerable spread of shellfish. Every bite was delightfully fresh with complimentary savory garnishes. The Caesar salad was a nice opening to our platter with slices of anchovies perfectly placed. Our group very much enjoyed the warming taste of the creamiest lobster bisque before sharing the steak and vegetables.

I recommend a dinner reservation 30 minutes before sunset so you can see San Diego by sun and by the city lights after sunset.

We were promptly sat for our reservation. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our server was attentive and the food was delicious.

What a great spot. The cocktails are well balanced and spirit forward. The two appetizers we ordered were insanely good. Baba Ganoush was creamy, along with the perfectly fresh pita. The star of the show is the Hamachi app. The fish is fresh but the sauce is what takes the cake. The flavors are just too detailed to describe here. For our entrees, we ordered the Gnocchi, Roasted Branzino and Seven Spice Caulilini. The Branzino (sea bass) was good but not our favorite. The gnocchi was perfect and so well appointed with the other items on the plate. The SSC was just a delicious array of vegetables. We were too full for dessert. The ambience was fantastic and service was great. We will return WITHOUT QUESTION.

Wonderful food and drinks, but I was especially impressed with the service. Everyone who serves there genuinely seems like they love their job—they are excited to share the history of Barbusa and to recommend their favorite items. My party and I felt well taken care of and wish we could give it 10 stars!
