Best Bay View Bali Hai There’s no escaping the Hawaiian theme at this longtime San Diego fixture; it’s everywhere from the menu to the décor, and it includes Hawaiian nachos, macadamia nut chicken, haole halibut and about a million more choices. The 50th state rules here by virtue of its cuisine, and its tiny place on the map be hanged. Meanwhile, the restaurant’s accouterments are ever-changing in deference to tiki art or Polynesian carvings of human forms.

And the fact that the building sits smack on the water only enhances the flow of things. Mahalo – enjoy!

Point Loma Seafood It began with an idea . . . Point Loma Seafoods first opened its doors to the public back in 1963. Kelly Christianson and his wife Marie began selling fish out of a small store with one small display case. Kelly set exacting standards of quality and freshness, so much so that only the finest catches were kept for sale.

In time, along with their sons Jack and John, Kelly and Marie slowly built Point Loma Seafoods' reputation as more than just a fresh fish market. Soon they began smoking and processing both sport-caught fish and fish for retail sales.

Best Sushi Sushi Lounge Sushi Lounge was an idea conceived by two friends while working together for another restaurant, Sushi on the Rock.

Katie Rooney was the Manager of Operations and started their Catering department. Frank Interlandi was a sushi chef in the La Jolla location for 7 years, assisted in the opening of Carlsbad and was their Head Sushi Chef. The two friends purchased Sushi Poway in 2006 and after renovation opened Sushi Lounge Poway with a new menu, stylish décor, and a whole new feel. Sushi Lounge offers a fresh alternative with emphasis on quality ingredients, a warm lounge-like atmosphere, and hospitable and informative service with a relaxed, friendly vibe. Katie and Frank opened a third location in Point Loma, where Katie lives. Sushi Lounge is committed to making a difference in our surrounding communities through volunteering and charitable contributions.

Fiddler's Green had its origins in 18th century sailing lore. Common seamen, who repaired their lines with a splicing tool called a fid, dreamed of a sailor's heaven, where after the long voyage their every desire would be fulfilled.

Today, Steve and Debi of Point Loma and their friends welcome you to their own Fiddler's Green where the best food and drink — and perhaps a touch of merriment — are offered nightly in one of the world's most renowned sailing ports. As they say at Fiddlers Green, “we hope you join us here as often as your voyages allow.”

As a wife and mother, she often worked in Church Hospitality and Women’s Ministries, and helped organize many tea events, from a dozen participants in a home, to kid’s tea and etiquette events, to hundreds of women in hotel ballrooms. In 2000, after a successful career in office administration, Cheryl had the opportunity to “retire” from that career, and follow her passion for tea and hospitality as a full-time career. And that journey over the last dozen years culminated in the opening of Point Loma Tea in October 2012. For Cheryl, it is all about the experience you will have when you explore the awesome specialty teas and related accessories in her store, and in your home, with your family and friends.

Voted Best Steak Fiddlers Green Fiddler's Green had its origins in 18th century sailing lore. Common seamen, who repaired their lines with a splicing tool called a fid, dreamed of a sailor's heaven, where after the long voyage their every desire would be fulfilled. Today, Steve and Debi of Point Loma and their friends welcome you to their own Fiddler's Green where the best food and drink — and perhaps a touch of merriment — are offered nightly in one of the world's most renowned sailing ports. As they say at Fiddlers Green, “we hope you join us here as often as your voyages allow.”
