Ironside Fish & Oyster San Diego Reviews
Nautical inspired restaurant
I loved my dining experience here last night! I celebrated my birthday here and upon entering we were handed menus with “Happy Birthday Liz” printed on it! We started with a dozen oysters 6 different types and all delicious! I had the lobste

I ate here for my friends birthday and the staff made sure to really make it special! I called ahead to let them know it was for a birthday and they offered to print his name on the menu which was a nice touch! We ordered the seafood tower and a few
Ironside
Delicious food and amazing atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back. Seafood was out of this world. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in San Diego no doubt
Lobster Roll was delicious.
Service was great. It is a bit loud, but a fun spot. Parking is challenging so probably best to rideshare.

From the moment we walked in, this place knocked it out of the park. The atmosphere is stylish, inviting, and buzzing just the right amount -- beautiful décor, just enough energy without being overwhelming. The drinks were top tier: creative, well

Best restaurant in Little Italy.
Always try to come here when we visit SD! Never disappoints. Food is excellent, service is great! Can't go wrong coming here!
Everything about this spot is incredible.
I've been in the local food industry for 12 years and this place is one of my favorites. The happy hour oysters are incredible and I can easy put down 20 of them. The service is top notch, everyone presentable and friendly and working hard and i

I've got to say, as far as an upscale-style seafood restaurant, Ironside has become my favorite. I came here for a friend's birthday celebration. The restaurant had some very dim lighting going on for dinner service, which gave the restaur

The food is good but the portions are small and it is expensive. Waiters are Knowledgeable with the menu but be warned it changes everyday. Some of the items I wanted to try were not on the menu!

We were downtown for the farmers market and after a nice stroll, some baked goods, and a cup of coffee, we were feeling something more substantial and just so happen to be in the mood for some oysters! The ambiance of ironside is spectacular! Plenty
We had great experience.
The food was incredible. Oysters were all time. But the surprise menu item had to be the Asian yams! The service was absolutely flawless and the ambiance was super fun. Both Dom and Geena were incredible. I can't recommend it enough.

Came to Ironside for happy hour with my little sister and it was awesome! The nautical theme is super cute. We tried the $1 oysters, chowder, fries, grilled octopus, and finished with the toffee cake (so good!!). Everything hit the spot. Big shoutout

Finally made it! We dined on clam chowder, oysters, and yummy cocktails. The clam chowder was my absolute favorite, served with a cheddar biscuit....perfection. I wanted more of the biscuit! Although we carb'd out, we noticed all the tables or

I used to LOVE this restaurant when I first moved to San Diego in 2018 and when I visited prior. Always order the peel n eat shrimp and the lobster roll. Sadly, it's not the same ( like so many restaurants post Covid). The shrimp were small an
We very much enjoyed our time at Ironside.
The lobster roll was AWESOME, the service was quick and the atmosphere was very relaxing and enjoyable. Big thanks to Milla for taking care of us. We would love to visit again when we visit my brother in San Diego.
Do NOT miss it!!
We were walking outside, looking for a place to cool down and have some drinks and something to bite. We were lucky to walk inside Ironside, the ambiance was amazing, everybody happy with excellent mood. Drinks were amazing and food superb. Totally
Overpriced and underwhelming.
Definitely a tourist trap. Average food. Average service. Expensive prices. I wasn’t impressed with the menu and when we showed as a party of 8, they said we’d have to do a $85 minimum per person if we wanted to sit together. We won’t be
This place is a nasty tourist trap ......overpriced and understaffed.
This restaurant experience was horrible , the oysters were the size of a gumball, stringy and tasteless ! I dont mind spending the money but the food was terrible. We also ordered baked clams , since we were still hungry after almost $200 wo
A Fantastic Dining Experience!
We had an amazing evening at this restaurant! The food was absolutely outstanding — we enjoyed fresh oysters, tasty fish tacos, and the most delicious lobster rolls we’ve had in a long time. Every dish was full of flavor and prepared with great c
Best lobster roll in San Diego
My wife and I went here while on a visit to take our son to the University of San Diego. We like it so much the first day for lunch that we went back the next day. Probably the best lobster roll. I’ve ever had the drinks and the service were good t
Great evening.
We had a fun night at this establishment. Good food and excellent bar tenders. We will certainly recommend Ironside to friends.
Good Fish
We ate outside on a beautiful sunny day! Monday Lunch was not crowded. Their fresh fish was the halibut, and was prepared two ways. We each ordered on and shared. The halibut with the miso soup and sesame seeds had more flavor and a better combin
It was a good, but not exceptional, experience.
Even though we had a reservation for two, and tables were empty, it still took about 15-20 minutes to be seated. My husband and I ordered the oysters Rockefeller, crab and artichoke dip, and the fish and chips. The crab and artichoke dip was the star

Dominique was an incredible waitress and made our whole dining experience exceptional. I would request her if possible
I don't even know where to start with this review.
We came here for my birthday when visiting San Diego and I can't stop thinking about the lobster roll. Like, what kind of magic is in this lobster roll? If you go here and don't get it you're making a mistake. My mouth waters remembering what it tast

This place was great!! We went on a busy weekend so the service was a little delayed but the food was great!! I'd give it another try on a not so busy weekend!

Not bad! We started with twelve oysters: six of the laguna and six of the sapphire. I definitely preferred the laguna but the sapphires were good too. For the entrees, I had the sea bass with the potato rosti and she got the yellow tail with the mix

Whenever we're in San Diego, we love going to Ironside.
This last visit was another winner with oysters, octopus and the catch of the day, and ending with a pavlova. This time, we sat at the bar and the service there is just as good as when we're sitting at the table. We'll be looking forward to our next
Great Seafood Experience in San Diego Little Italy
ronside, nestled in San Diego's vibrant Little Italy, offers a dining experience that's as captivating as it is delicious. The menu is a masterpiece of seafood delights, showcasing flavors that elevate traditional dishes to new heights. The clam cho
When in Little Italy try something else
We were told the wait was 40 minutes. We ended up waiting an hour and 10 minutes. Totally understand sometimes tables don’t turn as quickly so I could be patient but an acknowledgement would have been nice. We sat down and ordered the small platter
Put off.
Terrible service asked to be seated in a table right next to the section that was open to accommodate 4 guests and our dog. They would not accommodate our request and the waitress was rude and said”you do you”. Decided with that type of attitude
Worth a visit, but skip the martini "service"
A really nice time! Great food and staff and the cocktails were wonderful. I would, however, skip the "martini service" as the martini itself is both small AND substandard; sure, the presentation is cute...but for like $30? Insane.
Disappointing food and service.
The ambience was nice, the appetiser and clam chowder were good. However, everything else was super salty. The crab dip, yellow tail, lobster roll n fries were so salty we could not even finish half of our food. What gives? To make matters worse, we
Best Oysters!
Exceptional food and excellent service. Waitstaff gave us great recommendations and well-crafted descriptions of the food. We had the Phantom Creek and Sapphire oysters, the Japanese eggplant, and the Broccoli dishes. The oysters were the best I’ve
Hoppin' place for oysters and seafood.
We got a variety of oysters, which were excellent and fresh. I got steamed clams in a sort of Thai coconut broth. It was excellent. Wish it had more broth! The lobster roll was really decadent and good. The pesto pasta with scallops was also looked t
Happy hour $1 oysters are the best.
We also got the chowder fries, one shit on a shell, and shrimp tacos. All very yummy. Definitely worth the trip during happy hour (weekdays 3-5 I think).

Super bad service! The waiters have attitude, inattentive and rude! Never going back!
I ordered the swordfish with bone broth and veggies.
The swordfish was cooked to perfection but the bone broth sauce was really the star of the show! Ended the meal with an espresso and banana pudding -- divine! 10/10 all around!
My favorite happy hour place for food and $1 oysters.
I loveee it here. Service and food is always so amazing ! I come here probably every 2 weeks. The freshest oysters. The lobster roll is amazing , great happy hour deals and the chowder is quite nice too ! They have a great array of hot sauces and th

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ironside Fish & Oyster San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ironside Fish & Oyster San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Ironside Fish & Oyster San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ironside Fish & Oyster San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
