Tidal

Perched where land meets sea on the shores of Mission Bay, Tidal is a San Diego outdoor restaurant that offers a thoughtful dining selection of local flavors and craft beverages that, like the ever-changing tides, shift seasonally at Mother Nature’s whim.

Uncomplicated. Laid-back. Tidal is both in food and furnishings, making it one of the most enjoyable San Diego restaurants. Set as a beach house in the 60s, this San Diego restaurant’s coastal design draws from the era it was built by Hollywood producer Jack Skirball. A fire pit-dotted deck is perfect for sunset gazing alongside 180° views of Mission Bay.
