Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD.

• Seafood • Little Italy

Little Italy was built by the fishing industry. Ironside attempts to continue that narrative. It's our contemporary interpretation of the classic fish house and oyster bar. Located in a historic auction house on India St we did a full comprehensive restoration of the building, with three open-air culinary hubs featuring an expansive raw bar, chefs table, and bakery. We tried to be mindful of the past while looking towards the future. Groups of 6 or more will be charged an automatic 20% gratuity. A 4% surcharge will be added to all guest checks. For group reservations of 7 guests or more, please contact the restaurant at 619-269-3033 or via email to info@ironsidefishandoyster.com.Ironside is now taking reservations for patio and dining room seating. We are now offering Happy Hour MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 3:00PM - 5:00PM.

$$$$
• Greek • Coronado
Booked 154 times today
Nighthawk takes its name from the Edward Hopper painting, not as nostalgia but as a reflection of atmosphere, people gathered, light stretching into evening, and the feeling of stepping just outside the ordinary. Set entirely outdoors in Coronado, it embraces the Pacific breeze, shifting light, and horizon in a way that echoes the rhythm of the Greek islands, where life unfolds in open air and time moves more slowly. The space centers on connection and presence, drawing from the Greek idea of philia—relationships built through shared moments and unhurried conversation, rooted in a tradition where gathering, simplicity, and time spent together matter most. Nighthawk lives in that overlap between places, suggesting that the warmth, ease, and sense of belonging we associate with distant coasts may already be closer than we think.

    We had a great experience at TREO Kitchen & Bar. The entire staff was professional, welcoming, and friendly throughout the evening. Pamela and our waiter, Alex, were especially kind and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was excellent. We tried the pork chops, and they were absolutely on point. We also ordered the burger, mushroom pasta, and the sea bass dish — every plate was flavorful and well prepared. The cocktails were a hit as well. Overall, it was a wonderful dinner for a special occasion and definitely worth the price. We look forward to coming back!
