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.

Beginning with a few classic recipes culled from our chef’s family and friends, the menu captured the true spirit of Mexico. And its authentic style drew a loyal following of those in search of Sonoran grilled swordfish tacos, sizzling sirloin fajitas, and spicy rich chicken mole.Over three decades, our signature friendly service and festive decor have made Miguel’s a San Diego tradition for locals and visitors alike. Our commitment to artisan cuisine has only grown stronger. That means handmade tortillas, fresh salsas, and colorful crispy chips made daily right in our kitchen. Of course, there’s our decadent, must-have jalapeño white sauce, occasionally referred to as white gold by regulars, and craved up and down the coast.We invite you to stop in. Enjoy a refreshing hand-shaken margarita and a genuine, mouthwatering Mexican meal. Lets celebrate what we hope will be your first of many, many visits.

    Holy heck, my wife and I visited for the first time on a Sunday night for our anniversary. The restaurant was poppin' very lively with great music and packed and after the dinner we had; understand why. Book your reservation out at least a month as it's in extremely high demand. Service was exceptional, very nice waitress who had the menu down cold both front and back. Ambiance 10/10, fun music. 15/10 for food. All of it was packed with flavor and delicious. Pork tomahawk and wagyu new York strip were exceptional but what stole the show for us was the charred cabbage. We had never had anything like it and for being such a simple ingredient it was phenomenal. Like.. would've ordered a second plate it was so good, lights out. We couldn't quit talking about the damn cabbage of all things. Get the cabbage! Probably the most expensive dinner we've ever had (come from humble beginnings) but it was worth it and probably self inflicted. I didn't NEED to get the $160 new York strip, but you know, eff it we ball (occasionally) and I'm glad we did. 12/10 would recommend.

    The service was excellent. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. We were there celebrating a special occasion and they all made it very special for us. The spaghetti carbonara is the best we ever had. Deep flavor with crispy pancetta in every bite. A must try. We highly recommend Seneca.
