Lionfish Modern Coastal Cuisine – San Diego

Sorry no pictures the food was an amazing absolute spectacular, service was great the atmosphere is fantastic! Honestly was here on a business trip and it was amazing.

Came here for our 20th anniversary. The food is definitely nothing to brag about…overpriced and mediocre at best. What a waste on choice of place to spend n important milestone. Would not come back nor recommend this place at all. Out of curiosity, asked the guys waiting and bussing tables what they order. One mentioned the chicken and waffles, which is what I ordered, but my meal was nothing like what they described it should have been. Save your money and go elsewhere!

What a horrible experience. Came in from San Francisco for my husband’s birthday. I noted on the reservation and let staff know it was my husband’s birthday and not even an offer of dessert. Instead felt rushed out! Will never return or recommend this restaurant.

Loved the restaurant. We went here on valentines day with another couple and it was a great experience! Ambiance of the restaurant is really beautiful. Take advantage of the full bar like we did. You can ask the bartenders for custom drinks of their choice, we asked for refreshing gin drinks and they were so freaking good AND they were actually $2 less than some of the cocktails on the menu. Neat little trick for anyone who made it this far. I cannot stress enough that if you like octopus The Spicy Grilled Octopus is a MUST 11/10 (it isn't that spicy so if you like the spice try asking for more). Highly recommend the nigiri flights and the rolls, you can really taste the quality, don't forget to ask for ginger, wasabi, and soy! Love how they stamp the wasabi, what a cute little touch. The quality of all their seafood was really good, definitely making up for what some would consider higher prices. And for any of those who are concerned about their prices, as a fan of happy hour their prices are actually super good. I will definitely be coming for happy hour next time to try. Definitely make a reservation if you can! Thanks Lionfish! Food featured is: Spicy Grilled Octopus, Dozen Oysters - 6 east and 6 west - highly recommend the west, Bezerk Specialty Roll, El Maniakz Specialty Roll, King Salmon Specialty Nigiri Flight, and Crispy Rock Shrimp, and of course the ginger and wasabi with the little stamp Parking: Downtown parking so iykyk Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom is upstairs, I’m not sure if I saw an elevator or if there’s a downstairs bathroom.

Beautiful ambience, delicious food. But the hostess was awful. We showed up with a reservation and were seated in an awful table (middle of the room, not romantic at all) instead of one of the nicer banquettes available When we requested a better table, we were seated next to the kitchen with servers running in and out the entire meal. Very disappointed to be treated like this on a special night. Will not return. So many good restaurants in the area, no time for inconsiderate staff.

Wonderful food and always room at the bar. Service was great. Sort of a fusion restaurant?

Loved dinner here! I will say that the portions are small and I was hungry even after ordering 7 dishes (we were a party of 3!), but everything tasted good.

Went to have a drink here and was refused service because of a Canadian ID after waiting 20 mins at the bar. Nobody seemed to be on the same page about it so we just left...
