Greystone the Steakhouse
Address: 658 5th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
Located in downtown’s old Bijou Theatre, Greystone the Steakhouse shows the American infatuation with beef at its finest, with USDA prime-aged meats in the leading role. Many stars play alongside the gourmet steak specialties, with rival roles filled by fresh seafood dishes and pastas that hearken to American, European, and Pacific Rim influences, but with a twist. An award-winning wine list and deliciously naughty desserts complete the final acts and will leave you wanting an encore. The curtain rises nightly for dinner, and Greystone’s elegant dining room can be reserved for banquets as well as smaller groups.

Coronado Boathouse
Address: 1701 Strand Way, Coronado, CA 92118
The Coronado Boathouse was built in 1887, a year before and by the same architects as the neighboring Hotel Del Coronado. Mirroring the hotel in elegance and style, the red and white Victorian landmark juts out onto a pier in Glorietta Bay Marina. The two-story restaurant inside is seeped in tradition, offering a wide selection of prime steak and seafood. Generous windows and porch seating offer guests views of the Marina while they dine on decadent Macadamia Crusted Halibut or Hand-carved Prime Rib of Beef. Whether staying in Coronado or taking a water taxi from Downtown, the Coronado Boathouse offers excellent cuisine in a historical landmark.

Georges on Fifth
Address: 835 5th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
Georges on Fifth offers two things not common in the San Diego dining scene: dining in the company of San Diego’s elite and a twelve-ounce Prime Filet Mignon of Certified Angus Beef ®. The former takes the form of a vibrant mural of accomplished San Diegans adorning the restaurant’s two-story walls; the latter is one of the most exceptional cuts of meat in the city. Georges’ menu, with culinary highlights that include USDA Prime steak, day boat scallops, and the highest grade sushi, prioritizes quality ingredients highlighted by beautiful presentation. Factor in its unique location in a former gambling hall and saloon in the Gaslamp, elegant historic private dining rooms and Grammy-nominated pianist Tom Barabas performing on weekends, and you have one exceptional dining experience.
