I only discovered the Turquoise a year or two ago, and it is hands down my favorite place for dinner and drinks; first it's the ambience that hooked me, but the food is amazing, the service is friendly and attentive, the music is wonderful, and everyone is smiling--it’s really out of this world. I actually took a picture of my dish on Mother’s Day last year because it was such perfectly crafted haute cuisine, it was delectable, and yet it’s very inexpensive! Even better, I just discovered that they've added a bunch of new things to the menu, and they’re offering a new happy hour menu that’s fantastically reasonable (3$, if I remember correctly, for the tapas, and the portions are huge). Furthermore, the live music has been remarkable (jazz, blues, or flamenco, they change it up). This place is so civilized, sophisticated, and at the same time the height of decadence, and the owner has taken care of all the details: even the ladies’ bathroom is beautiful! I’m so glad he brought this little slice of Spain to PB; I can’t sing its praises highly enough!
Pros: great food, service, music, and best ambience in town
Cons: none, it's reasonably priced and very consistent

We went here on a recommendation to start out a Girls Night Out. When we got there for our 7pm reservation, we found out it was happy hour until 8 and that meant 1/2 price EVERYTHING... drinks, food and WINE menu! We knew it was tapas so we ordered a bunch of plates to share but no one told us that these are fairly good size portions for "tapas" and we were totally stuffed before we got to dessert. : ( We left a lot of food on the table un eaten but only because we were full... the food was awesome. When the bill came it was $45 each for 5 of us to have way too much food and 3 bottles of good wine. I will say we might have made slightly different menu choices if it weren't 1/2 price... but we prolly could have done with about 1/2 the food we ordered. Oh and they were totally accomodating for a couple vegetarian requests also.
Pros: Happy Hour
Cons: Low table height

I looooove Bandar's chicken kabab and green salad. My husband can't get enough of the lamb shank mixed with the hummus avocado...we could eat it everyday!
The staff service is also always very friendly and dressed nicely.

I was pleasantly surprised at the food and came here because of a rave review from my roomate. I had the Escargot and the Black African Sea Bass in a leaf. I also sampled the Lamb tagine - both were excellent. Come on, they made snails excellent. The waiter spoke french so I got to order dessert in my non fluent french which was great.

The ambiance was really nice, the staff friendly. My drinks was always topped immediately. I had Panang Char Kuey Teow and Satay. Char Kuey Teow was really good but the satay was out of this world. I'm telling everyone about this place.
Pros: Food
Cons: Parking

Despite the location of the restaurant, the interior is very nice and you can't see outside. The sushi is very high quality but it's expensive, of course you get what you pay for.

This is right on the harbor, and has fresh fish every day. I take every out of town guest here. It is a must visit in San Diego. The outdoor area always has a line and you will have to scope out he place a while to find a table but it is well worth it (and kinda fun). The fish and chip basket is the best in San Diego. And the best part is that it is not that expensive.
