Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sally's Waterfront Dining offers a "great location on the water" with "excellent food and service." The ambiance is charming, perfect for outdoor dining. While the pricing reflects its premium setting, the attentive staff and delightful dishes make it worthwhile. Ideal for a scenic meal, this spot is a San Diego favorite.

    For $94 I got one glass of french sparkling rose wine thst benefitted from a lot of ice, a wedge salad lacking in blue cheese flavor or blue cheese, and a plate of undercooked fish and chips. Sent the fish back to be re-cooked. Staff was attentive except for not being able to explain where a 6% surcharge on the bill goes Boildown: go for the view and a drink and dine elsewhere unless you enjoy throwing money into the bay

    Food was ordinary, space for dogs is great, waiter was average. Host staff offered a heater, it was brought out along with others, but not started until it was time for dessert. $19 for a basic g&t……..

    When I'm in San Diego, I love eating here. It is great seafood and drinks, in a great atmosphere where you are sitting outside, watching the boats, the water, and the people.

    Good food, but you are paying for the location. Nice service. Very expensive. It was very loud, not quiet and romantic, so take that into account. 2 people should expect $100-200 for a bill… not having prices on their online menu makes it hard to know what you can plan for….

    Attentive service, excellent food quaility, quick turnaround from order to food arriving. Lighting was quite variable with our table being very bright and the table next to us being very dark.
