We prefer to sit on the deck where it is always more intimate, quieter, away from the busy intersections. The San Diego skyline is crisp in every direction. Heaters keep you from getting chilled in the cooler nights. Food and service never disappoint. Bali Hai has been our go-to spot since I was a child 60+ yrs ago for celebrations. Just recently we've been taking advantage of their holiday buffets; OMG, beautiful and delicious!

Fun place although I would only come for a drink. The atmosphere is cute and well decorated like Christmas pirate boat. The tables are cocktail so eating is tight. Food was just ok.

Love this restaurant! The service is outstanding, it is bright and cheerful inside and the food is great. We had four for lunch and all of our meals were prepared to perfection. I had the catch of the day sandwich which happened to be halibut. I chose the fries over the salad as my side and the fries were just as I like them, crispy of the outside and soft on the inside. My friends had fish and chips, oysters, caesar salad and baja fish tacos. I highly recommend this restaurant!
