We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.Our generous corkage program for each table: the first 750mL bottle is complimentary, and each additional 750mL bottle is $25.

    This was our favorite Italian restaurant in San Diego, but we moved to HB a few years ago and now stop by whenever we can. Excellent food and service.

    We had a great table on the upper terrace and the service was fantastic- very attentive. The blackened shrimp tacos were some of the best we’ve ever had. The Smoke cocktail I’d highly recommend, and the coconut flan was very special.

    We were on vacation in San Diego and wanted a nice family dinner with seafood (since we live in the desert). It did not disappoint. We had great service and recommendations from our server, Andres. His recommendations were spot on. Their French onion soup was better than the lobster bisque. Seafood fettuccini, salmon, and mahi were all very delicious. Dessert servings were all generously sized. We finished off dinner with PB Brownie Banana Split and trio of ice cream, and we ate every bite. We had a table right by the water, with skyline and boats. It was a perfect place to make a great San Diego memory. Highly recommend!

    One of our absolute favorite farm to table restaurants in San Diego. We’re lucky enough to live a block away from this incredible spot, so we now make it a priority to go once a month (for either brunch or dinner). If you’re into quality, local fare with amazing flavors - this is the spot.
