Best Historic Restaurants in Ocean Beach

Valley high is our family San Diego go to restaurant and has been for the last 15 years, possibly longer. What keeps us coming back is the great food and the best mai tai this side of Dukes in Hawaii, paired with spectacular views of the San Diego skyline and Coronado Bay, and great service and affordable prices. The ambience is a wonderful, kitschy throwback to very best that mid-century Tiki has to offer. OpenTable always makes it so much easier, so long as you plan ahead. We’ll be back there again sometime soon! You can count on that!!

We were traveling from Seattle and Chicago. As vegan, we highly appreciated this restaurant had options for us that were not just salad. Food tasted good, portion size was good. Nice views. Overall, a great experience!

Great service, amazing food and very attentive. We loved the pizza, salad, appetizer and pasta. Outside is cold and not many seats inside

Great decor, food quality and interesting preparations.

Had an early lunch reservation for my birthday, seated on arrival. Given a cute birthday menu. Ordered a very strong & delicious Mai Tai, cup of chowder, and lobster rolls with fries. The chowder was very good, just thick enough and great flavor. The biscuit served with the chowed was still warm when it was served. The lobster roll was delicious, but the amount of lobster in the roll was skimpy compared to our previous visits to Ironside. Our server surprised me with a complimentary dessert to celebrate my birthday. My husband said he got a call prior to our reservation asking whose birthday it was and if they had any allergies. Thoughtful. Staff from the host to servers were all very welcoming.
