Very lovely experience. We started with the Oyster dozen chefs pick on our lunch. Then moved on to the Smoked Salmon sandwich... and the Fish and Chips. Food was great, view fantastic, and the service amazing. Juan did a great job knowing the menu. We arenow picking up dinner to go. Read more
Dining at Tom Ham's is not having a meal, it's an experience. We took it for our adjacent stay but it would have been a huge... miss if we didn't go there. I had the best roasted beet salad in my life. The fish was over the top. Wanted.to meet the chef sowent back next day but the staff seemed to be less cooperative the next day. Anyway, focusing on the bright side. Thearrangement is breath taking. The view of the sea, the downtown and point loma is not enough as if when some jet skiing guyshows off his skill. I thought for a moment the restaurant owner hired him for entertainment ???? Price is very reasonableaccording to the experience. Will be back when we are in the city. Read more
We came to this spot later in the evening for some dinner, and the experience was very satisfactory. The oysters were very... fresh, bouillabaisse was great, paella was delicious, and linguini is pretty good too. The waiters were very attentive andwelcoming. The interior is nice and they have pretty custom-made napkins. It was a good visit. Read more
First of all EXCELLENT service and the views are amazing!! Very loud inside. (Bar area very loud.) Wrinkled paper menus. For... fine dining, I'd like a clean laminated one please! (Highlighting favorites) Steaks (excellent flavor) should automatically comewith sides, not charged extra. Hot butter for cold lobster would improve the dish. Add a coleslaw or something for thatprice. Salmon was excellent! Rice and veggies were dried out/overcooked. Oysters were delicious and fresh!! We were one of thefirst tables sat on a weekday. For a $300 meal for 3, I had to leave my suggestions here. Beautiful restaurant. Would like totry again. We were traveling from Washington state. Home of amazing salmon and oysters! Read more
This was recommended by a local and it was great! It is expensive but it was our night to splurge and we picked a great place to... do it. Sat outside over the water with a heater very close to us. Our waiter was Raymond and he was wonderful. It was a moderatewalk there from the Sheraton San Diego Marina but we didn't mind and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset walking home.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here. Gifted by my grandma’s best friend. The view is spectacular and we always get... treated very well. Since our wedding, my grandma has passed away. So we meet Margot(grandma’s bff) at Tom Ham’s every monthor so for lunch. She is well known there, so my husband and I always get the best treatment. Easy to find San Diego landmarkrestaurant. Dress up, or casual. They have brunch on Sundays. With a variety of different food. They don’t have vegan optionslisted but if you’re creative, you’ll get by. They have good salads, French fries, fruit with sorbet for dessert if you’rea vegan, and in a bind. Margot and my husband always get the fried calamari and clam chowder soup. Great drinks. The bar tenderalways makes me something fancy, even though it’s a virgin drink. Margot always has a blast there. Bring a camera for someawesome photos inside and outside the restaurant. It sits right on the San Diego Bay overlooking the water. The sailboats go byon warm sunny days. There’s also historical favorites downstairs. Plenty of parking with handicap spaces in front.

Great view, friendly service, and good food at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Restaurant. I made a reservation for Valentines Day and we... were given a table with a great view of San Diego. The moment we arrived, the staff greeted us and checked us in. We wereushered to our table in no time. The staff who took our order made sure the appetizers and my kids’ meals arrived promptly.This made our dining experience pretty amazing. Kudos to the chef, staff, and everyone in the kitchen. Normally on a busy daylike Valentines, you would expect slower service since there are a lot of diners. We were blown away by the service we got. Myfamily will definitely be back! Read more
My new must go happy hour in San Diego! Fresh and yummy oysters for $1.50 each! The cheese board, calamari are super, sirloin... tip and clam chowder are good also. We liked it so much that we went there both days we were in San Diego. Service was good andthe view was gorgeous. We even get to sit outside for the happy hour ????. Read more
