Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was built in 1971 by a man who was not afraid to put his name on his product. Rooted in warm welcomes & excellent food, Tom Ham made his lifelong dream a reality. Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is the only restaurant in the US to have a USCG operated & maintained Lighthouse attached to it. You can locate us on any modern nautical map as Beacon #9. Featuring a 100% responsibly resourced seafood menu & award winning Sunday Champagne Brunch, we are a must when it comes to the San Diego food scene. The dining room, purposely shaped like the state of California, allows for groups as grand as 50 yet private enough for a couple’s night out.

This place is really cool all around. The decor is really creative and engaging. The staff were on top of our orders, refills, and water throughout the night. The plantain app and XXX roll were standouts for us. We were concerned about the noise level based on other reviews we read. While the music could be a tad quieter, it honestly wasn’t an issue having a conversation. And our table was the one directly in front of the DJ booth. All four of us would recommend this place for a fun, unique night out and will be back again ourselves.
