Firefly Restaurant and Bar
Address: 1710 W. Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109 (Map)
Located in the Dana Hotel on San Diego’s beautiful Mission Bay is a restaurant that will likely attract you with its spectacular view, but keep you coming back with its dynamic cuisine. Serving California cuisine on the unbelievable California coast is all too natural for Executive Chef Craig Jimenez. This San Diego native takes pride in his restaurant’s use of seasonal, local ingredients and that pride is evident in every dish he serves. Dishes such as Bulgogi Glazed Ribeye and Pink Peppercorn Scallops can be enjoyed poolside, outdoors or indoors where the view is just as nice.

Crab Catcher
Address: 1298 Prospect Street, La Jolla, CA 92037 (Map)
Perched atop an oceanside bluff in La Jolla, the Crab Catcher offers a spectacular view. The elevated dining room overlooks waves crashing onto La Jolla Cove set before an elegant backdrop of the coastline. Chef Jon Burwell’s impressively extensive menu celebrates the ocean’s bounty with dishes such as king crab-stuffed Hawaiian Ono served with chili-garlic puree and dill-infused buerre blanc; he also showcases his range of talent in select non-seafood dishes such as charbroiled herb-marinated rack of Australian lamb with California peaches, montrachet goat cheese, and roasted shallot pinot noir reduction. The atmosphere, if anyone can take their eyes off the view or the dishes, is comfortable and quaint, almost intentionally unpretentious so as to let the view and cuisine shine.

Humphreys
Address: 2241 Shelter Island Dr., San Diego, CA 92106 (Map)
Step into the main dining room of Humphreys Restaurant and understand how understated opulence is mastered. The large multileveled room is bathed in soft light and flowing panels of pale gray and ice blue upholstery. Juxtaposed against the whimsical softness of the colors are massive exposed beams that lend an anchor to a bay-side view that threatens to draw you in completely. The menu is thoughtful and inventive in the way it continues this balance between the ethereal and masculine – the Mirin Sesame Shrimp appetizer positions two large shrimp atop a bed of mango-mint relish that is refreshingly cool against a wasabi dressing. The menu and decor offer a cohesive gesture of sophistication that may just leave you swooning.
