Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was built in 1971 by a man who was not afraid to put his name on his product. Rooted in warm welcomes & excellent food, Tom Ham made his lifelong dream a reality. Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is the only restaurant in the US to have a USCG operated & maintained Lighthouse attached to it. You can locate us on any modern nautical map as Beacon #9. Featuring a 100% responsibly resourced seafood menu & award winning Sunday Champagne Brunch, we are a must when it comes to the San Diego food scene.

    Unmatched hospitality! The server was knowledgeable about the food and able to describe them well. We didn’t have great luck with the clams, they were very chewy & overcooked but the broth was delicious. They took it back and a sweet manager, (I’m forgetting names) sent a hamachi that was to die for! Everything else that hit the table was delicious and we were very impressed. The bubbly and celebration desert was super appreciated as well. Honestly made my birthday dinner feel extra special, some places really don’t go the extra mile but they sure know how to impress.

    We love going to speakeasys and this one was a great find. It was a little bit loud for our taste but still a great experience. Victoria, our server, was fantastic! She was super energetic and very knowledgeable on the drink selections!

    First we enjoyed happy hour on the patio. The oysters' price and quality was excellent as were the happy hour drinks. We went inside for dinner where we had a reservation. The view from both the patio and the dining seats were beautiful as we were able to see the view of the bay and downtown both in daylight and as the sun set. We enjoyed the asparagus and corn salad and the salmon entree--both excellent!!!
