Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Cardiff By The Sea

The restaurant is a kind of an awkward layout but it is beautifully decorated. I love the presentation of the seafood & kitchen and the transparency of the pastry kitchen. Service is impeccable here and my server was so cheerful. My group loved the chicken-fried lobster; thought it was the sweetest lobster. The 12 oz filet mignon was perfection as were the side of mushrooms. I had the Chilean sea bass last week and it was the best Chilean sea bass that I've ever had (and I've had my fair share) in both terms of cut and quality; not as good this time as it was a bit fishy and it was a smaller cut. Dessert was great. Their pastry chefs are so creative. We loved the presentation of the beignets on the tree and the triple chocolate bombe. The key lime pie was delicious! All and all, a very enjoyable night out!

The Chart House continues to deliver one of San Diego Counties elite beachside dining experiences! Being "eye level" with the surf, waves within feet of the dining room, surfers, beachcombers and seagulls energizing the North Coast vibe and then, those sunsets! We love it!

Food was great. Service was good, but the waiter seemed to have forgotten about us for a bit and I had to flag someone down to go get him. Anyway, it’s a very minor complaint. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and my date had the ahi tuna. Both great. Glad they accommodated my dairy allergy and my date’s gluten sensitivity. Great ambience and views also. I’m glad I went and hopefully will be back!

We dine at Jake’s often, so decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary here for lunch. The fish special was tasty, and the fish and chips the best I’ve had at Jake’s. The staff welcomed us to a table reserved for especially for us and our anniversary. We enjoyed the booth and sea views while sipping sangria. We were given free choice of a dessert on the house, so we picked the Hula pie of course! Thank you Jake’s for making our day special.

Melody was our server. We were a table of 4 and there was also a table of at least 12. The entire team at Ki's made sure we got our drinks and food on time even with a big crowd on Christmas Eve.
