- BBrookeSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe Maine lobster roll is fabulous — lots of lobster! My (very picky) fiancé has gotten it twice in the past month, so that says a lot. The hamachi crudo is fresh and delicious, and next time I want to try both of their ceviches. Both times we sat right next to the big open windows overlooking the boardwalk. It was beautiful in the evening — you can see the ocean, smell the ocean air, and still feel like you’re right in the middle of PB. Our server Michael was awesome! He has the handlebar mustache and is also a bartender. Super friendly and attentive, and they make one of the best spicy Ranch Waters! The TVs are positioned really well, too. The Padres game was on and it was busy without feeling crazy. Great atmosphere, great location, and just a really fun vibe. We’ll definitely be back.More infoWaterbar San Diego$$$$• American• Pacific Beach•4.5
