Mr and Mrs CIQ Posted June 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Going on Zaandam 15 night Hawaii cruise. We would like to eat seafood the night before the Cruise. We will have no car, nor have we been to San Diego before. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickey 88 Posted June 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The grandaddy of all San Diego seafood restaurants is just across Harbor Drive from your hotel - Anthony's Fish Grotto, 1360 N Harbor Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted June 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2009 As mentioned, a large seafood place right across the street. Also, several seafood places in Seaport Village - a shopping area about a 10-15 minute walk down the boardwalk (to your left as you exit the HI).

Splinter Posted June 29, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Anthony's Seafood Grotto right across the street is a family style restaurant...pretty informal, decent seafood, a San Diego institution since 1948. Run by the same family (the Ghio's) all that time. Be prepared to wait (no reservations) on a busy weekend or holiday. A few blocks south is the Fish Market. Actually one of a chain. Good seafood in both the upstairs (more expensive and upscale) and downstairs areas. They only take reservations for the upstairs area unless for a large party. Both these places have great views of the bay, so you should try to get a window table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on the otherside of the Midway and a nice walk afterwards to Sea Port Village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad973 Posted June 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2009 If you want an little more 'upscale' experience, try Anthony's Star of the Sea Room....adjacent to the regular Anthony's Fish Grotto but much quieter, with very nice ambience and great seafood. You can't go wrong with the Fish Market either but a lot more casual and noisy. Enjoy either! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Star of the Sea room has been closed for several years, and the space is now only available for rental and catering to private parties such as weddiings. The Grotto does not have a dress code (other than mandatory shirt and shoes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually like to eat in the bar area. That area doesn't seem like such a cafeteria. Of course it has been years since we ate there. We usually go to the fish market.
