Had an incredible dining experience at Lionfish in San Diego! The atmosphere is AWESOME, the menu is INSANE, and every dish was prepared to perfection. The sushi rolls were some of the best I’ve had, and the cocktails were on point. Big shout out to the Don, who made the evening extra special with his hospitality and attention to detail. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!!
everything I tried tasted pretty good. my favorite apps were the rock shrimp and surprisingly the tuna pizza which was quite interesting. I had the diver scallops which were good but the flavor of the sauce could be overpowering after awhile. the service was excellent and bar selection/drinks were great.Food: 5/5
We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation, which was before the dinner rush. We were seated right away and within minutes the restaurant was very busy. Despite the rush, we never experienced a delay in the service personnel coming to attend to us. Everyone was extremely polite, well dressed, and professional. The food was excellent, definitely worthy of all the praise we've read about on social media. The menu had limited selections so as not to overwhelm diners, and the chef's staff can concentrate on the quality of the food instead of how much is offered. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here and can't recommend Lionfish enough to our friends. One minor caveat, was the volume of other patrons. Understandable with such a large open area. More my preference than anything.
The food was absolutely incredible, we got the Tomahawk Steak, and it was perfect. Highly recommend the steak tataki. Our server was truly wonderful she made our special occasion perfect! the only issue was the restaurant could not seat our dinner reservation on time, so we spent 45 minutes to an hour at the bar, in which they barely apologized, sat us at high top tables at the bar and didn't even offer an appetizer or a round of drinks for the delay.
Firecracker shrimp were amazing. The need was great, as well. But small portion. The happy hour oysters were not that great, but liked the service overall and location. Would definitely return.Food: 4/5
Loved the restaurant. We went here on valentines day with another couple and it was a great experience! Ambiance of the restaurant is really beautiful. Take advantage of the full bar like we did. You can ask the bartenders for custom drinks of their choice, we asked for refreshing gin drinks and they were so freaking good AND they were actually $2 less than some of the cocktails on the menu. Neat little trick for anyone who made it this far. I cannot stress enough that if you like octopus The Spicy Grilled Octopus is a MUST 11/10 it isn't that spicy so if you like the spice try asking for more. Highly recommend the nigiri flights and the rolls, you can really taste the quality, don't forget to ask for ginger, wasabi, and soy! Love how they stamp the wasabi, what a cute little touch. The quality of all their seafood was really good, definitely making up for what some would consider higher prices. And for any of those who are concerned about their prices, as a fan of happy hour their prices are actually super good. I will definitely be coming for happy hour next time to try. Definitely make a reservation if you can! Thanks Lionfish! Food featured is: Spicy Grilled Octopus, Dozen Oysters - 6 east and 6 west - highly recommend the west, Bezerk Specialty Roll, El Maniakz Specialty Roll, King Salmon Specialty Nigiri Flight, and Crispy Rock Shrimp, and of course the ginger and wasabi with the little stamp Parking: Downtown parking so iykyk Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom is upstairs, I’m not sure if I saw an elevator or if there’s a downstairs bathroom.
Best date spot ever! Thank you Lionfish for the incredible service and impeccable meal. ...oh yeah, and the sake recommendations too!
This is definitely a date night spot, and it's a great location. The ambiance was giving chill/moody. Like you don't have to put on your Sundays best, but also, if you did, it wouldn't be doing too much. It was quiet and romantic, nice for conversations . The service was top tier, and our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and helped us celebrate our special occasion. The food was good, but all the items seemed to have a running theme of spice. The menu is small and unique.
Sushi meets Mediterranean meets San Diego! This place is so delicious! I love how expansive the menu is yet so creative. We tried the pasta gnocchi, sushi rolls, and they did not disappoint. The interior of the restaurant was also super cute and felt upscale. I will definitely be back.Food: 5/5
Lionfish is an outstanding dining destination that offers a perfect balance of fresh sushi, flavorful steaks, and beautifully prepared seafood dishes. The menu is diverse and creative, ensuring there’s something for every palate. The ambiance is chic and lively, ideal for both special occasions and casual nights out. Every dish, from the sushi to the steak and fish plates, is crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The service is always top-notch, making the entire experience memorable. Highly recommend Lionfish for a refined and vibrant dining experience!
