Great food and excellent service. The staff was very attentive and the ambience was great. We will definitely be back!
The food here is incredible. If you get the chance to eat here just do it.
Loved the view and the food. Biggest serving of fish and chips I ever had. And good too!
Excelent food and great atmosphere and the view breathtaking...!
A fabulous dining event. The raw bar selections were awesome and the salads and paella were great. Marielle our server did a fantastic job taking care of us. And I can’t forget the beer selection. We shall return when back in SD.
The view is beautiful day or night from this restaurant. Food was delicious and that is why I return often.
Always love coming here for dinner time, for the Pan Seared New York Steak! 10/10 always. All the workers are very nice and always cater to you!
Will come back when I can!
Lunch was fabulous! A beautiful day on the bay!! Views are an added plus at Tom Ham's.
Wonderful!!! Good service, good food, great view, what else can you ask for?
Great view of bay & downtown and food was great! Great service too.
We ordered as soon as we were seated, requesting that the 2nd course not arrive until we finished the 1st. We had to wait 20 min. for drinks, 40 min. for the 1st course, and the 2nd course arrive 5 min. later. We noted that customers who arrived later were able to get their meals, pay their checks and leave before we got our bill. All we had was cioppino and fish and chips - nothing difficult. We spoke to the front desk about the delay, but she really didn't seem to care. Food was great, though and the server was very pleasant - if slow.
We reserved at THL to be near the airport and were not dissapointed. From the patio overlooking the water to the food, everything was top notch. Calamari was perfectly fried. Nicoise Salad had an interesting pickled egg and great balance. Bonus for the toasted New England style hot dog bun for the Lobster Rolls. Fish and chips were excellent. Washed down with a SD IPA.
Amazing views of the bay and skyline. A unique building and history along with the great food, drinks, and service.
Food was exceptional and the service was great and the view was amazing.
I came here for breakfast.
The weather was nice and the food was very delicious, so I had a good time.
I'd like to go to dinner next time.
Raymond was probably the best server I've had in a long time. Super friendly and helpful and gave us some great recommendations. Checked on us often but not in an annoying way. The ambiance was great and it felt private even though there was plenty of customers. Food was pretty good as well but a bit over priced for portion/flavor.
a bit pricey for how small the portions were and no bread service Just felt a bit basic and not over the top or any additional perks yet sitting outside and min service required - would have liked a bit more since we are supporting business and bearing the cold to eat outside. Waiter was great. Hostess service was below average View of course awesome
The saffron lobster bouillabaisse was outstanding and being able to make my own beer flight was perfect
Great! As always!
Very great service and amazing view
Beautiful view from the outdoor seating looking at the city lit up at night. Service was great and food delicious. A real treat, and one gains an appreciation of what a beautiful city we live in.
Our server, Raymond was great. The food seemed average. The selection of items was smaller than I expected, but that could be due to Covid supply problems. You can't beat the view of the harbor and downtown.
Excellent. 50 characters is to much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful view and safe for COVID outdoor dining. Love the lobster roll and crab blt. So relaxing out in the sun by the water. Perfect for pre or post airport pick up and/or drop off.
If you want anything other than oysters, suggest you go elsewhere
Good food and great service. Having the bay view was great also
Beautiful views of the San Diego skyline at sunset. Very efficient service, obviously well trained waiters and busboys. We had a relaxing three course meal with delicious raw oysters and the beet salad, followed by diver scallops and the paella with a cream brûlée for desert. A nice selections of craft beers and wine by the glass.
We live in San Diego and are used to the great waterfront restaurants we have in our city. Tom Hams is one of the best and well worth a visit.
Great reception from the staff. Swift and informative service. Tasty food. Better beer :-)
Pricy but worth the occasion and the venue.
A favorite :-)
It was cool that night but we decided to go knowing there were heaters there. The heaters however were not very effective so we hurried through our dinner because we were so cold. Food was good; we’ll return when it’s warm outside.
Great view of the harbor and sailboats
Wasn’t that crowded... which I liked.
Space heaters if you want them
Waiter was very helpful and accommodating but gave me all the time I wanted...
lunch was very reasonable... delicious yellowtail meal.
Hard to decide with the lobster roll beckoning.
Oh - and the world famous rum drink ! I had to try “one” of those. Very strong but very tasty.
The day was sunny and a little bit chilly but being from Colorado I was so happy to be outside dining with such delightful views
Nice location by the water and great views of San Diego bay. Easy parking onsite. The food was very average and expensive for what it was. The servers were great and very attentive.
The view was great we had terrific service and the view of downtown was amazing.
Had an awesome Valentine's Day Dinner here. Great and quick service with a beautiful view. Tried several drinks and all were all great - the strawberry jalapeño margarita was my favorite. Will definitely be going back.
Awesome possom
Never fails to satisfy
Table was amazing! Server was very nice and personable. Had a great brunch. Thank u!
