Best Historic Restaurants in Ocean Beach

From the esthetics to the food and drinks, Tako was the best experience in SD! We try a new place every week and this place is hands down the best and already making reservations to go again!

Absolutely fantastic experience - this place is such a gem. From the food and drinks to the ambiance and staff, the small but beautiful touches, I can’t say enough good things.

Amazingly authentic Italian food! Loved the food and ambience!!!

It was everything we expected and more! The ambiance, the culinary adventure, the fabulous and knowledgeable wait staff, the pianist, and the interior decor were utterly fabulous! DEFINITELY will go back!

What can I say? This is easily one of the best happy hour spots in San Diego! The ambiance is stunning, the service is outstanding, and the food is absolutely incredible. We had yet another fantastic experience here, this time for an early dinner to celebrate my kid’s birthday. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the Japanese sweet potatoes are a must-try, the fish and chips were amazing—so fresh and moist—and the clam chowder was perfection. The smoked trout dip wasn’t my favorite this time, but it was still a solid appetizer. Our server, Mike, was exceptional—attentive, polite, and spot-on with his food recommendations. We’ll definitely be back, and if you’ve never been to this place, make a reservation now. You can thank me later!
