BenP Posted March 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Can anyone help with restaurants near the cruise port. We prefer causal dinning (I mean slacks and nice shirts). We won't have a car so will be cabbing it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northshorecruisers Posted March 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Are you staying at a hotel - if so, which one - or just looking for a place to eat pre or post cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobiemom Posted March 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The Yummers met at Anthony's Fish Grotto last month. I think it's real near the terminal. My girlfriend took me to The Boathouse in Harbor City (kind of by the airport). They have $11.95 dinner specials on Mon, Wed, and Fri: Mondays - Crab Wednesdays - Whole lobster Fridays - Prime Rib Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoandhugh Posted March 16, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Right on Harbor Island are several restaurants - Tom Ham's Lighthouse at one end and Island Prime at the other. Island Prime is top notch and there is another level, called Clevel where the food is less expensive and you can fill up on several appetisers or pasta and watch the sailboats and cruise ships if one happens to be sailing that afternoon. But it is a popular place and you should plan to be there early. Also, check with the concierge at the hotel for other suggestions nearby. The restaurants I mentioned are walkable, but for most others it would be a cab ride:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted March 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2008 If you are planning to take a cab, I can recommend the following within a reasonable distance: Little Italy: http://www.littleitalysd.com The Indigo Grill Filippi's Pizza Grotto Café Zucchero Buon Appetito Crudo Embarcadero close to the cruise ship pier Anthony's Seafood Grotto The Fish Market Karl Strauss Brewing Company Rainwater's (a little fancier) You can also cab to the San Diego Trolley to the Little Italy station and take it to Old Town (Mexican food) or to the Gaslamp. If you do, get the number for calling a cab when you take the Trolley back to the station as there are no cabs waiting at that station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarciaL Posted March 16, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not too far south is Seaport Village with lots of places to eat, and worth you time is also the USS Midway which is open to visit..... The day we left our ship, we went to our hotel and checked in and dumped the luggage then got a cab to Seaport Village (had lunch) and then did some walking.

Northshorecruisers Posted March 16, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2008 We are staying at the Holiday Inn on the Bay for 2 nights pre cruise and then staying in Mission Valley one night post cruise. Seaport Village and Gaslamp Quarter have some really nice restaurants. The Elephant & Castle off the lobby of the Holiday Inn had decent food when we were there last.

SelectSys Posted March 18, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2008 here is a good link to San Diego Magazine's restaurant best selection guide. http://www.sandiegomagazine.com/media/San-Diego-Magazine/Department-Archive/index.php?tagID=42 I would recommend either Little Italy or the Gas Lamp for a nice urban feel or Harbor Island if you are looking for a view and want to stay by your hotel. I am not really a huge fan of any of the restaurants on Harbor Island. I guess the Boathouse is probably the best. One somewhat differnt alternative that I would highly recommend would be to take the passenger ferry from the Broadway pier over to Coronado Island to Peohe's. The restaurant is right at the ferry landing.
