My Persian fiend introduced me to this place in Del Mar’s main center. Totally authentic and delicious! We shared a main (salmon kabob) Shirazi salad and roasted eggplant dip with carmelizes onions, and took home half of the food (generous portions)

It’s local family-run and has a back deck with a view as well as sidewalk and indoor seating. Full bar.

If you’re looking for some of the best authentic Persian food in San Diego, then Seaside Grill is the place to go.

Its location and interior is beautiful, and the food is amazing. I highly recommend the Koobideh Kebab plate, which comes with your choice of two sides. They also serve you a completely bread and olive dish which pairs amazingly.

Seaside grill is a staple in my restaurant rotation, will always be going here.

Went for lunch on a Sunday. It was our first time at the restaurant. We had looked at the menu online only to find out their menu on Sundays is limited; however, the gentleman was kind and let us order the combo fish taco plate for my daughter and the combo kebab plate for my husband and me. Also, the view and fresh air made it even more special. We will definitely come back when we are around the area.

Food, service, ambience, location were great. Went there twice in the past month, nice cozy table by the sidewalk, and nice cozy table in rear patio. We didn’t try the beef kabobs, but Salmon Kabob, Fesenjoon and Ghormeh Sabzi were delicious. We’ll visit again.

Delicious food. They have a secret menu item, not on the menu, Tahdig.

All 5 of us unanimously voted 5 stars after we left the restaurant. The atmosphere is classy, coastal, contemporary, and comfortable.
We had one of the best Mediterranean food experiences in San Diego. Highly recommend.

Can’t recommend this place. The food tasted good so that’s great, but the chicken in the Fesenjan was dry and chewy (odd for chicken cooked in sauce…)

The biggest problem was the service, and it got weird at the end. It took over 20 mins for someone to approach our table to begin with. We ordered and the food came out eventually, missing a side. We asked the person who brought the food about the missing side but she said “I don’t know” and walked away. The server did not check in with us so someone from our party had to get up and go find someone. Finally sorted, we finished our meal and waited… And waited…. Finally flagged down our server who brought the check.

This is where it got weird… Due to the poor service we intended to leave a little less than 20% tip. But she brought the machine and gave it to the man at the table (me) rather than the woman who was actually paying the bill. The device showed 20, 25, and 30% tip options. She pointed at 20 and said “is this good?” And I said “I don’t know. I’m not paying the bill” and handed it to the woman who was further down the table and awkward to get to.

This server squeezed behind me so that she could lean over her shoulder and watch what she put for the tip. She again said “is this ok?” And pointed to the 20%. This badass woman says “well actually no, we felt a bit ignored and had to do more than we should have so we are going to tip a little less.” And painstakingly typed in a lower tip amount. Our server huffed and didn’t say another word. Brought the to-go container and basically threw it at us and sprinted away.

When service is at or above the bare minimum, we tip 20%. That was not the case today, and this awkwardness seals the deal, we will definitely not be back.

Hopefully they do better in the future!

If I could give 0 stars, I would!! Our visit to Seaside Grill in Del Mar on 12/30/25 was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in San Diego, and we’ve been here several times before.

The owner — who also insists on being the only waitress — continues to run the entire dining room alone. At this point, it feels less like a staffing issue and more like cost cutting, and it certainly shows.

We ordered a drink for our 4‑year‑old daughter and specifically asked for something toddler‑friendly. Instead, it came in a large, heavy glass cup. Unsurprisingly, It slipped from her small hands and shattered. Rather than showing concern, the owner reacted with irritation and angst; almost as if she had never had a glass break ever before in her restaurant. Our daughter started crying, and the owner didn’t offer a single comforting word. Very cold demeanor, indeed. She cleaned the broken glass with her bare hands and two cloth napkins instead of a mop; she then had the audacity to go back into the kitchen to complain loudly to her husband. On top of all that, when we asked for a replacement drink, she charged us again! What?! I couldn’t believe it….I can’t make this stuff up!

One of our chicken kabob plates had pieces that were completely raw inside. When we showed her, she acknowledged and offered to replace it — but didn’t offer any refund for serving raw poultry which we were already disgusted with.

To top it off, the bill included an automatic 20% tip (calculated on the post‑tax amount btw) for the subpar service plus a 3–4% credit card fee. When I pointed out that tips should be calculated before tax, the owner seemed confused and irritated until her husband stepped in to correct her.

Between the unsafe serving choices, the attitude, the raw food, and the questionable/deceiving billing practices, we won’t be returning. Trust me, I’ll continue telling friends and family to avoid this place.

Weeknight dinner review – The place itself and the environment is great. It was mostly empty with some outside tables occupied. Food itself is decent. The appetizers were great. We had Tahdig with Ghormeh and some kind of lentil stew, which was fantastic. The olive and cheese plate was pretty good as well. However my entree Sea Bass was very bland and had no flavor to it. It was pretty disappointing. Others had Salmon which they said was good. Service was decent.
