SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Looking for dinner with a view?

In San Diego, the best views are found up and down the county's coastline, according to OpenTable users. The dining website's rankings were pulled together 12 million reviews for more than 28,000 U.S. restaurants collected on OpenTable between June 2017 and May 2018.

In San Diego, 10 restaurants took honors as one of the best places to grab something to eat that's just as beautiful as the scenery nearby:

  • Pacific Coast Grill (2526 S. Coast Hwy. 101, Cardiff): Two-floors of views, including a spectacular 180-degree look at Cardiff Beach's coastline.
  • Poseidon (1670 Coast Blvd., Del Mar): Seating just off the coast, with perfect views of waves rolling onto the sand.
  • Jake's Del Mar (1660 Coast Blvd., Del Mar): Sitting on a low cliff in Del Mar, eat as waves roll up just underneath.
  • The Marine Room (2000 Spindrift Dr., La Jolla): Waves crash up onto reinforced windows during high-tide, for an unforgettable meal near the sea.
  • Ocean Terrace at George's At the Cove (1250 Prospect St., La Jolla): Views of La Jolla Cove that are especially popular to catch during sunset.
  • Duke's La Jolla (1216 Prospect St., La Jolla): Two-stories of panoramic views along La Jolla's coastline.
  • Bertrand at Mister A's (2550 Fifth Ave., San Diego): A 360-degree rooftop view of downtown San Diego, Coronado, and Balboa Park.
