Located in the heart of San Diego, Gaslamp Fish House has quickly become a favorite for seafood lovers. This charming restaurant at 411 Broadway offers a delightful escape with its inviting atmosphere and exceptional service. Reviewers consistently highlight the Macadamia Nut Calamari as a standout appetizer, uniquely prepared with a nutty, sweet, and tangy chili sauce that sets it apart from traditional offerings. The fish n' chips is another crowd-pleaser, known for generous portions that guarantee satisfaction.

Guests like Jochenius Maximus and Raul Cantero rave about the freshness and creativity of the menu, mentioning the Pacific Coast Cioppino as a treat not to be missed.

Yet, the outdoor seating and the vibrant ambiance make it a fantastic spot for a date night or casual outing, as suggested by Persida Negron and Kong Vang.

Overall, the Gaslamp Fish House offers a relaxed dining experience, serving delicious seafood in a welcoming environment – making it a must-visit when you're in San Diego.

Reviews For Gaslamp Fish House

The staff at the bar were excellent and really made the experience the couple times I visited so far. Very interesting and personable. All the main entrees and specials are quite unique. The main go-to are the macadamia calamari and the fish n' chips (which will fill ya right up by themselves). Be mindful of the portions of the more unique entrees. Better to pair them with an appetizer and a treat at the end. Overall a great lil spot, although just be cognizant of the surrounding street-dwellers that can be a bit rambunctious at times.

I went for the happy hour food specials and loved it. The oysters were great, but couldn't been cleaner. There were some shell remnants. The atmosphere was nice, we sat outdoors and how can a guy from Minnesota like me complain about San Diego weather. The food all taste fresh. I would definitely go back next time im back in town.

This salmon was delicious steak was great! Service was still excellent, although they seemed short-staffed. We also had an appetizer and the bread pudding dessert and everything we ate was wonderfully cooked, served and eaten immediately.... because it was so good! Definitely try out this place for a chill, and relaxed date night. Then go on a walk! It's beautiful.

We walked in and were unexpectedly surprised. Though it was just for a little snack, I wish we were there for dinner. All the dishes we got were perfectly prepared and delicious. Next time, I want to try the seafood tower.

Wow! The food here is amazing. We had the Macadamia Nut Calamari appetizer and it was the best calamari I've ever had. Not your tradicional fried calamari. Instead you get these large chunks lightly fried and covered in a nutty, sweet and tangy chili sauce. Hard act to follow, but the Pacific Coast Cioppino was yet another incredible dish. This place is definitely my favorite when visiting San Diego.

The service was impeccable. Rayne, our server, was great! She was attentive, personable, made great recommendations and answered all our questions. The food was excellent. From the house specialty drink - Stay Classy San Diego to the fresh fish ceviche, shrimp tacos, and chilled shrimp appetizers to the Salmon and Rockfish main courses, it was all excellent! This is a MUST for dining when in San Diego!!!

What an awesome experience! We had the macadamia crusted calamari to start. I don’t remember the name of my platter, but she had the cioppino. Both were outstanding. Our server Max was awesome, which made this memorable experience even better! Seriously, go here. You’ll see.
