- OTOpenTable DinerSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoA little bit of a wait but it was well worth it, the food was great. I got the emperor's feast and it was amazing the steak was juicy and cooked to a perfect medium, and the lobster complimented it perfectly. It was fun having the food cooked in front of us and a great experience as always. And the bartender put a lot of cherries in my Shirley temple so I was very happy!More infoBenihana - Carlsbad, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Carlsbad•4.1

- JJenniferSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024King's is part of our Christmas tradition, and last night's feast was the best meal we've ever had there! A big thanks to our server Colette for making our special night even more special! She was so attentive, and we didn't feel rushed, even though it got busy. Her recommendations were spot on, and our dinner was delicious! It was the first time my husband tried key lime pie, he hasn't stopped talking about it since. It was DIVINE! We'll definitely be back!More infoKing's Fish House - CarlsbadPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Carlsbad•4.7
- RRichardSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024We were greeted with a welcome and they remembered from my reservation that this was my wedding anniversary. We choose an indoor seat by the window. The waves looked nice as we could see them roll in. The food was very good. We had the Shrimp Dumplings which was good--sort of like a Chinese potsticker, but soft. I had the Lobster and Shrimp Chowder, excellent. My wife had the Mixed Organic Greens, very good. We shared both. For our main course I had the Seafood Pasta lobster, shrimp, scallop & mahi with smoked tomato sauce, Thai basil & parmesan. I liked it very much. My wife had the Pacific Paella grilled lobster tail, mahi, clams, scallops, shrimp & saffron Arborio rice, very good. The quantity of those dishes was more than what we expected--we could have just ordered one or the other and shared.More infoPacific Coast Grill - CardiffPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Cardiff By The Sea•4.8
