Came in for restaurant week. First time dining in the outdoor area and it was packed but not so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation, which was nice. The salad I got wasn’t particularly memorable though the shrimp in it was delicious. The ceviche on the other hand was perfect- my favorite bite of the whole meal. Only other issue was the oysters were tiny!They were much smaller than expected. But overall enjoyed the lunch experience.
The views of the bay from this restaurant alone are worth eating here!

I visited Tom Ham’s Lighthouse and overall had a really nice experience. The location is beautiful, the views of the water and skyline are truly the highlight and make it worth the visit. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service throughout the meal was very good.
What felt a bit strange, though, was the main dining area. It’s set up more like a large hall or event space rather than a cozy restaurant. Because of that, it didn’t really have the warm dining atmosphere I was expecting. It felt a bit open and impersonal, even though everything was clean and well-kept.
That said, the place itself is unique, the setting is lovely, and the environment outside the dining hall is very nice. With such a great view and good service, it’s still a spot worth trying, especially if you’re there for the scenery and experience as much as the food and ambiance.

A very cool restaurant that was a lighthouse. Great for groups and has beautiful views overlooking then city. Food is pretty good and the history is pretty cool. There is plenty of parking too so shouldn’t be an issue. I got the Bouillabaisse and it was very flavorful with a good assortment of seafood. The Cauliflower was also pretty good and was nice to share as well. Service was friendly and attentive too.

We had lunch at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse, the view was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and not crowded at all, which made for a really relaxing experience.The food was okay, just not particularly memorable compared to the amazing location.Glad we went once for the scenery, but I pro wouldn’t go back; however, it would be a fantastic spot for events or special occasions cuz the setting is truly great.

A terrific place to take your friends from out of town. The view was incredible, the food was delicious, and the beer list extensive. My husband and I often wonder, when we leave, why we just don’t make the half an hour drive to go and have such a great experience. I had the lobster bisque soup and my husband had the short ribs. Both were excellent.

I went there with some coworkers and some clients to enjoy a happy hour. We got some cocktails and some appetizers. The high barstools are very comfortable and you can see the great view from the large windows behind the bar. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful too. It’s really fun to enjoy a happy hour out on the patio when the weather is pleasant.

Great views for sure. Food were mostly good. But the scallops were a bit too burnt. But we enjoy the overall experience

Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is an upscale, very nice seafood restaurant very close to the San Diego Airport. In fact, it’s walking distance to the Sheraton.
It succeeds at providing an upscale experience without crossing into pretentious nonsense. You can come here and have absolutely world class seafood without needing a tie (unless that’s your gig).
Drinks were strong and fairly priced (10-17 dollars based on the drink).
Kids meal provided ample portions for children – perhaps a bit more than they actually need. Two small kids can split a meal and still have left overs.
We ordered a dozen of oysters (chefs dozen) which were prepared immaculately.
The Boulabaise was phenomenal and had a creamy, tangy broth cooked to perfection with a millet of lobster, oysters, clams, and other assorted shellfish.
They Scallops were also cooked to perfection. In many ways, Scallops is a test of seafood cooking ability as the prime texture window is quite small. Fortunately, I’m happy to report that they were all perfect with an excellent portion.
Please consider this restaurant for date night, family night, or a non-chain seafood experience on the harbor.

Fantastic experience! We went to the Sunday brunch and it was excellent. The $80 per person is worth the price. Great food, great service (thank you Sarah!) and awesome views. This was a high point during our trip to San Diego. Be sure to book ahead.
