Best Waterfront Restaurants in University City/Golden Triangle

W had a great window table and the food was excellent. Great choices for a holiday meal. Three of us had the lobster and it was wonderful. Wanted my out of town guests to taste the coconut shrimp but never appeared but when told it was taken off the bill. Glad to see Roger the Manager has returned. He is a great Manager. Will be returning again.

Visited for Thanksgiving, they had a special menu designed for the holiday. Everything was very good and service was great. The menu was an interesting take on traditional turkey dinner and was very tasty. The grilled filet mignon was really done nicely and the sauce was very good. The Gruyère scalloped potatoes were a surprise with a spicy kick. The crunchy pumpkin desert was a pleasant way to end the meal. Enjoyed Roy’s Hawaiian Martini which was like a low calorie pina colada but that soaked pineapple sliced had a kick! And the Argentinian Malbec was very smooth and a nice addition for dinner. Our server, Oscar, was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant’s history. And a beautiful view of the San Diego bay at sunset.

Outstanding Thanksgiving meal. Great flavors and presentation and very tender Turkey. . Excellent service. We will continue to enjoy Eddie Vs thru the year and I imagine we will return again next Thanksgiving. Best regards Dyanne Routh.

We met up with old friends at Dockside1953 for an anniversary celebration. The atmosphere around the fire pit table was impressive and kept us warm during the evening. The service was excellent and not rushed at all. Our server was always on cue when pouring our wines and bringing the next drink. The food was outstanding. Both my friend and I had the filet mignon. We're both meat connoisseurs, and the steak here was the best I've had at any restaurant (or elsewhere for that matter). My buddy is a San Diego resident (I'm from Canada), and he'd never eaten here before. Dockside 1953 has become his new favorite restaurant. Our wives had the chicken and drugstore burger and loved it. Highly recommend.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! And would definitely recommend the Clam Chowder! Service was great and loved the ambiance on with an ocean view!
