    We showed up 30 minutes late and with an extra person in our party. The reception never once acted anything but happy to see us and made accommodating our extra guest simple. Service, food and view were great.

    Seneca San Diego is a true gem. From the moment you walk in, the design takes your breath away! Stylish, vibrant, and full of character, with stunning views that elevate the entire experience. The food is absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Service is attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The ambience strikes a perfect balance between lively and relaxed, making it ideal for both special occasions and a memorable night out. Highly recommend!

Discover Shelter Island

Visitors to Shelter Island on San Diego Bay have a variety of cuisines available to them within short walking distance. This island was created during WWII when the bay was dredged to allow for large Navy ships. Appropriately, the cuisines found here come from around the world. When looking for elegant dining with high-end drinks, you cannot go wrong with the cuisine that concentrates on Hawaiian and seafood elements with an Asian fusion twist. The food is as sumptuous as the view of the bay. For a full-bodied American cuisine with robust views, there are excellent choices built beside the bay with the view in mind. Many of these options meld American and seafood cuisine.
