The restaurant is located on the premise of Bahia Resort Hotel. With reservation, our group is seated promptly. Our server, Nic, was courteous and knowledgeable of the menu, got our drinks and even confirm w a member of our group of the shellfish allergy! The food came out timely (the restaurant was quite busy). Everyone really enjoys their order. My Rock Ceviche and Ahi Poke were very good. The ambience and surrounding were wonderful as we were observing the sunset while working on our after the meal cocktails. Thanks for a fun time and good foods.

I recently visited a Dockside 1953 located in Bahia Resort Hotel during my stay at the resort and had an amazing experience. One of the highlights of my visit was the fresh flatbread veg pizza that I ordered. I appreciated the fact that the staff was able to customize the pizza to exclude the meat, which was a nice touch. The pizza was delicious, and the crust was perfectly crispy, making it an enjoyable meal.

Was staying at Bahia so went here a couple of times. The fire tables were great when it was under 60 out. The staff were great, especially with two kids as part of our group. The food is all pretty good. I had the steak one night which is flavored very well, but the Hawaiian hasselback potato that came with it was boring. I also had the banh mi flatbread which was excellent and had a nice kick to it. I also sampled the scallops which were cooked very well. The kids enjoyed their meals and I was impressed with how well the fruit was. I would pass on the puff pastry dessert as it’s mostly pastry and I found it rather dry. The butterscotch pudding though was fantastic. The only issue for me was pricing. These dishes all tasted fine but had some of the highest prices we paid in San Diego.

My daughter had the carne asada, and I had the club. The club sandwich and salad were enough for two people. My daughter loved her meal. The service was excellent.

Wife was craving some good Seafood on our last night on San Diego Vacation, Called and the pleasant receptionist booked us in a last second reservation. Was greeted upon coming in and the Manager (Matt I believe) seated us at an amazing outside Bayside, sunset view table with a fire feature. The atmosphere was incredible, calm and relaxing.

So glad the Bahia added this seafood restaurant. Large wine selection. Many seafood options. Everything was reasonably priced. Oyster prices are outlandish however at $4 each. The mussels were great.

My only issue is that the food is quite pricy, but I’m not used to Cali prices, so I’m not sure how bad it is. It would be nice for food to be included as complementary for resort guests. I have no complaints about the service though! Jessica is a very friendly and attentive server, and she remembered us from the day before. I don’t remember her name, but an older lady was very amused and helpful when I asked for a container for the seashells I collected. As long as you can afford the food, it’s convenient and worth the visit! (They also have non-dairy milk options and goat cheese!)

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Dockside 1953. We were told that the location is new because they moved from the other side of the building. It clearly was a wise decision.
