TANTALIZE YOUR TASTE BUDS AT LIONFISH!
It’s no secret that we’re a hot spot for dinner or date night. Sure, we can talk your ears off, but if you’re a visual person or just need to taste for yourself, we don’t blame you. Our unique twist on coastal cuisine is why we’re a Gaslamp Quarter favorite, but sometimes you just have to taste for yourself. We’re going to walk you through some of our favorites right now, and if that’s not enough to get you to pop in, and see what’s cooking on our menu, then we didn’t do our job right!
Our passion is bringing you the best seafood San Diego has to offer!
WILD MUSHROOM & POTATO GNOCCHI
If you’re not “starch raving mad” for this one, then you need to step up your hot plate game. This dish boasts wild mushroom, California Seaweed, Humboldt Fog, and Dashi Pan Sauce. We’d call it a fan favorite, but we’re going to talk about some more food in just a second, and we don’t want to get you too excited too soon!
“ANIMAL STYLE” BEEF TARTARE
This dish will surely bring out the animal in you! Our “animal style” Beef Tartare features Crispy Potato, Shredded Iceberg, Caramelized Onion, Aged Gouda, and our Secret Sauce. We know about those other guys who do things “animal style,” and we just wanted to let you know that when we do it our way, you won’t just want to be “in and out.” You’re going to want to stick around for a few to really savor the flavor.
TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD
We know, we know. It sounds like there’s only two ingredients to this one, but get ready for this. Our Tomato and Cucumber Salad is chock full of flavor that you might not have thought of at first. We’ve got Heirloom Tomato, Izakaya Cucumber, Basil Seeds, Dashi Pickled Onions, Petite Shiso, and Amazu Rayu Vinaigrette.
THERE’S PLENTY MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM
From hot and cold plates to oysters and sushi, we’ve got you covered. Or maybe you want to talk to the chef and see what the fresh catch of the day is. All we know is that we love to see you smile, and we’re hard pressed to see a frown at Lionfish. When you put as much care into seafood as we do, it’s hard to not have a great time! See you soon.
