    We're from AZ and we always visit Sally's, the food is good, the service is awesome, the view is great...the drinks could use less ice. It was my birthday and nothing special was done, dessert would have been nice, but we'll be back!

    We dined at Sally's before a concert at the Rady Shell and have a wonderful meal with a very attentive and friendly server. Will definitely return again pre-concert.

    We have been to Sally's numerous times. Our last experience (Sun July 6) service wise was good with Alex as our server. My son's hamburger was not the quality you anticipate at their price point. He chose to ask to speak to the manager on our way out off the restaurant. The hostess let the manager know but unfortunately a good 10 minutes went by and the manager never appeared. Hyatt needs to step up their food quality to meet the competition surrounding them. We are locals and see restaurants come and go frequently and feel it is important to let the management know when they strike out.

    two of us got the Tomato and Burrata Salad - lots of tomato, very little burrata. We added Scallops - we got two. Very little food for a lot of money. Three of us shared the Crab Cakes - two small ones. I guess we were paying for the view and the fact that it is next to the Hilton. If you want good seafood, go to the Fish Market down the street.

    I’m sure the Service in general there is fine but we just got unlucky with the worst server ever

    Wr purchased their 4th of July package and it was amazing. It was the perfect place with a front row seat for the fireworks. The food was also delicious and our server was great! I would definitely recommend.

    Our 3rd year for the 4th of July waterfront experience and it was great as always. Service and staff remembered us from years past so top notch!!! Jennifer has been our server twice now and she is great. Removed 1 Star for food only due to the desserts being below average. For a big night where we are spending $700 per table, there should be more options or better ones that would suit kids as well as adults. Other than that, it’s the best spot for the 4th and we love it!!!

    We watched the Big Bay Boom Fireworks from Sally's Waterfront. The view was spectacular. Unfortunately, the food was not good. We tried many items since we had a $300 minimum. We started with oysters which were from the Baja region and were standard. The tuna crudo lacked seasoning and had no flavor. The octopus appetizer had good accompanying spreads. The crab cakes were not cooked well and the tomato chutney which was spread on top of each cake was sweet. The kids burger was overcooked. We ordered the scallops with bacon lardon over a sweet pea risotto. The scallops tasted fresh and were seasoned well, albeit could have had a better sear. The lardons tasted like cardboard and the risotto was undercooked. The bottle of wine was good but the food was lackluster and there wasn't a single dish we finished. All in all, we enjoyed the ambiance of the San Diego waterfront and a front row seat to the fireworks but would not come back due to the food.
