Herringbone La Jolla: A Premier Seafood Destination in San Diego

The atmosphere has almost a cabana style feel to it with occasional live music. Great natural lighting available from any angle for all your photo needs. The food is amazing I have ordered about half the items so far and have yet to be disappointed. There is food for non meat eaters available as well. The selection of oysters are from around the world and well worth the price. The staff is always amazingly pleasant and willing to assist with any questions you have.

This is the best seafood I’ve had in San Diego so far. The ambience here is incredible. The building itself is an old auto body shop turned into a Tuscan seaport diner. The trees inside are real preserved olive trees. The service was excellent and the food was well worth the price. Make sure you swing by the bar and talk to Joe for great conversation and menu recommendations! For dinner we ordered the seafood tower, which was such a great sampler of all their cold seafood. For dinner I had their fish and chips, which was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had anywhere. They use a homemade batter from a local brewery (pizza port) to fry their snapper to a perfectly crunchy yet soft and flavorful breading. I also tried some of their scallops, which were amazing, and their filet, which was incredibly tender and perfectly cooked. The brandy peppercorn sauce on top was a great touch. For dessert we tried their coconut brûlée and their lemon blueberry tarte.

Great ambience. Technically extremely well prepared food. Delicious flavor. Great wine selection and service. Love the trees inside the restaurant and the lighting. Really nice atmosphere. Ordered the filet medium. Nice outer crust and tender medium cooked on the inside. The peppercorn sauce was savory but not overpowering. The dessert was pretty amazing. The sorbet was refreshing and the strawberry tart fresh not too sweet. Great restaurant for a special occasion.

5 stars for sure! I’ve been wanting to go here for years and finally made it! Made a reso on open table for the same night. Very cool vibe inside with eclectic mix of songs playing. Definitely on the expensive side for drinks but everything we had was delicious including the aperol spritz. Recommend the petite seafood tower which had great portions of everything. Enjoyed the halibut ceviche the most. Salmon, steak and shrimp for mains all were delicious. Only 3 shrimp with that main so be prepared. Will definitely return.

The atmosphere was so Fantastic, the food was so delicious. We ordered 10 dishes most of them are seafood. The seafood tower was great, never forget to order oysters. The waiter was very patient, helpful, and friendly. Can't complain about anything.

Love the ambiance here, it’s fun and clever and comfortable. Their drink menu might be my favorite part. I like to go tapas style here, I love their appetizers and small plates. I am not a huge fan of their entrees. 4 stars only because I feel this place used to be better a few years ago, and it seems their quality has slipped a bit. Maybe I caught them on an off night. Still a great spot for a fun dinner.

Loved the 100+ olive trees, the vibe and atmosphere at Herringbone is perfect for dates nights, family nights or just having a fun evening with friends. Great bar and cocktail menu. Though the wine list can be more extensive, found it limiting. Oysters and lobster rolls were fantastic, a couple vegetarian optiond on the menu would help!
