San Diego

This excellent address stands out first of all by its very successful decoration, in an industrial style where the leather design chairs blend perfectly with the metallic and woody touches. One goes here to feast on fresh fish and seafood, whose varieties change according to the day's arrival. Among the must-try dishes: oyster platters, delicious ceviche, octopus a la plancha, crab cake, clam chowder, or fish n' chips. All in a friendly atmosphere, far from the stuffy oyster bars.

You're on the embarcadero, facing the bay. Fish are fresh and the card varies according to fishing and seasonal products. We appreciate not only the kitchen but also the refined decoration surrounding the theme of the sea. A secure value and a friendly setting. Ideal for a lunch after the visit of the USS Midway or the Maritime Museum.

The specialty of this chain also established in La Jolla and Encinitas: the Lobster Roll, this famous sandwich originating from the East Coast. In concrete terms, it is a brioche bun filled with lobster, to which grilled cheese can be added. Lobster West offers two other versions: crab and shrimp. He also serves delicious soups, with lobster bisque, New England clams, or Maryland crab. For dessert: Whoopie Pies. A good address, very affordable for seafood of this quality.
