Started off with a longer than anticipated wait to be
Started off with a longer than anticipated wait to be seated-they said 15-20 minutes and we went up and asked after about 30 minutes and they sat us right away. Otherwise, food and service were great. We enjoyed our meal and time there. Ambiance was
Wandered into it for lunch.
This was an another CH win for us. The service was excellent as usual. Our sever noticed I had cup envy and poured my cocktail from the simple glass into a cute blowfish cup! The drink was a little weak but well flavored. My husband had the steak and
The setting and ambiance are open, social and thematic.
We were there at night, very dim lighting and table side lights do not illuminate the food...like eating in the dark; fishbone? Can't see it. Order the big platter, oysters ok. Shrimp good but sauces over mask. Rock fish ceviche very good and ni

Cute date night venue in little Italy.
Was able to walk in on a sat night 7pm for table for 2. Parking is terrible but exactly what you'd expect from little Italy. The service was nice and attentive. High tops were very cozy (small) and seats were kinda uncomfortable - not sure if it

Everything was great. From the appetizers and drinks to the main courses, everything was great. Alex, our server was friendly and helpful and the interior was fun and engaging. Many of their featured drinks come in adorable kitschy cups. We got t

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.

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.

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

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

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

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
* FluffyStar64, 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.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 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 FluffyStar64 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, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64'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.
