Bali Hai Restaurant - San Diego (CA)

5 /5 X Joseph (Joe): We had an amazing lunch today filled with delicious Polynesian and Hawaiian-inspired flavors—but the true highlight wasn’t the food or even the stunning view. It was our incredible server, Ava. From the moment we sat down, Ava guided us through the menu with such enthusiasm and knowledge that we assumed she was a seasoned pro. To our surprise, it was only her second day serving! She recommended standout dishes that ended up being our absolute favorites, and her understanding of the drink and food menu was unmatched. Ava made our experience not just enjoyable but genuinely memorable. We will absolutely be back—and when we are, we’ll be requesting her by name. She’s a gem and a true asset to this establishment!

5 /5 Spencer E: One of the old school Tiki bars still standing! Must stop for tiki lovers. Food was good but not amazing. Drinks were strong! Almost to strong! Tried the Mai tai, Pina colada and the jetty. Food we tried the fried rice, calamari and the tasting for two. Desert was the best! Great selection of custom tiki mugs!

5 /5 Justin Neuenschwander: Such a gem! My girlfriend took me here after sailing. Talk about a walk back in time to fully immersed Tiki Culture! The ribs were a major highlight. We felt like it was plenty of food for the price. Drinks were absolutely out of this world. Service was awesome and the views can’t be topped.

5 /5 Selena S: Came to San Diego for my honeymoon and this restaurant was the highlight! The food was amazing, absolutely adored the cocktails, beautiful venue & the best service. Our waiter was so informative and truly kind - he went out of his way and even wrote a list of recommendations for things to do in the area. We went back basically every night of our trip even if it was just for drinks.
