Best Waterfront Restaurants in Sorrento Mesa

Food was delicious, waiter was great but the ambiance was old and too bright inside. Kinda sleepy. I feel like they need to work on their music and decor.

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.

The service is exceptional. We always celebrate our Thanksgiving here and are grateful for the range of options available. It is one of the only places that will make tradiitonal.and also vegan and vegetarian options. The quality of food is wonderful. We love the view, for sure. The entire experience with the professional staff and presnetauisn of the meal are elevated and worth it every time. Highly recommend.

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!
