5 star experience

Here’s what people are saying about Lionfish Coastal Cuisine. These are not paid reviews, and from actual customers. 

 

“Such an amazing elevated restaurant in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter (in the Pendry Hotel)! Everything I have tried at Lionfish has been exceptional, including their cocktail menu! What many people do not know is that they have an incredible happy hour where you can try some of their amazing dishes and drinks on the cheap!”

 

“We had a party of 6 and everyone loved the food, the service, and the ambiance. Service was attentive and just the right amount of service. Highly recommend it!

“WHILE VISITING FRIENDS DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO, WE DECIDED ON A WHIM TO GRAB A BITE TO EAT DURING HAPPY HOUR. THIS WAS A FAVORITE OF OUR FRIENDS, BUT A FIRST FOR ME. POLITE AND HELPFUL STAFF. UPSCALE AMBIENCE. THERE WERE A FEW ITEMS ON THE HAPPY HOUR MENU THAT INTERESTED US. WE HAD OYSTERS ON A HALF SHELL AND SPICY SHRIMP. VERY GOOD PLACE IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN HAPPY HOUR DRINKS AND THE SNACK MENU.”

 

“Went for a light dinner— assortment of oysters, grilled octopus, and the soft shell crab sushi roll. All were great! Our server was very kind and accommodating even though they had a full house. We will definitely be back to try some sea urchin soon.”

 

“My uncle and cousin brought us to this beautiful spot back in November. It was a great choice.

The decor, ambiance, flavorful food paired with great spirits made it a Perfect evening.

Our server was so attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu. We will definitely be back and highly RECOMMENDED.”
