Best Seafood Restaurants in Solana Beach

We have been regulars at Jake’s over the years. It’s about the best atmosphere you could ask for. It’s very exclusive but very beach casual which makes it so comfortable. Great service every time we go there. They don’t serve the main course until you are ready…this is such an exception to most restaurants around town that are pushing you to finish and move on. All around thumbs up!!!

Had a lovely time; first time sitting inside, which was a great choice considering the weather was so windy and rainy. Had three apps first; Little Neck clams were fantastic, as was Baked Brie and coconut shrimp. Always eat the Brie first when it arrives at the table; as it will stay warm and melted to the end; then move on to the shrimp and clams last. Main courses of Surf and Turf plus a NY steak were also great. This was a tremendous 25th anniversary dinner.

Pacific Coast Grill has truly become our favorite restaurant, and we make it a point to celebrate all of our special occasions here. Every time we visit, the food never disappoints, but this time there were a couple of standouts that really made our experience unforgettable. The Cardiff Reef Roll was absolutely incredible, and the Alaskan Halibut was cooked to perfection—so flavorful and tender, it truly exceeded our expectations. Even though Pacific Coast Grill isn't a dedicated sushi spot, their sushi is unbelievable. It's always fresh, flavorful, and crafted with such care. It’s a pleasant surprise every time. We also really enjoyed the Pinot Gris from Willamette, which was the perfect pairing with our meal. The wine selection here always complements the dishes so well. Lastly, the valet service was impeccable. They were kind, professional, and made sure our car was parked right up front, so we didn't have to wait in the rain. It’s little touches like this that make a big difference in the overall experience. We can't wait to come back and continue celebrating more special moments here!

The Caesar salad was even BETTER than before! The addition of the red pepper coulis, the Parmesan cup, and the little (not too spicy) peppers was FABULOUS! It was even more perfect with the generous portion of salmon. This will be a go-to meal for sure. And I think the Lobster bisque had even more lobster pieces than usual—it’s ALWAYS divine!

Absolutely outstanding!! My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary, it was our first time dining here and we were floored. Our server, Jillian, guided us through the menu and gave us amazing recommendations! From the 1st course to the last, she made everything special. We ended with a small beignet tree and the house made cookies, along with a super thoughtful anniversary card. Yes it is pricey, but so worth it. The food, service, and ambience were beyond exemplary. Thank you Jillian and Steak 48!
