With the best views of the Downtown City Skyline, Coronado & San Diego Bay, Tom Ham's is & remains a San Diego tradition in dining excellence since 1971.

We went early so it was pretty empty. The food and drinks were great and our server was attentive. The holiday rap music was a little weird but overall glad we went!

We had a delicious meal and delightful time! We enjoyed the tagliatelle with butternut squash, rib eye, a filet, and the pasta with clam sauce. Only one appetizer which was the Caesar salad and was very good. Served a little differently with fresh greens instead of romaine and the dressing was excellent. Our server Toni was superb! She is professional, knowledgeable and a delightful person! The manager was also very nice and helpful. Thanks to all the staff for making our evening special!
