Humphreys

On our lists of the best live music venues, special-occasion restaurants and restaurants with a view in San Diego.

Right on the marina at Shelter Island, Humphreys pairs a dining room built around water views with the Backstage Music Club next door, where the night keeps going with dancing and live entertainment after dinner. Executive Chef Percy Oani's kitchen runs Southern California seafood and steaks, with a macadamia-crusted halibut and pan-seared Hokkaido scallops among the dishes reviewers single out, alongside creative cocktails and a deep wine list. Breakfast runs daily until 11, dinner starts at 5:30 Wednesday through Sunday, and a request for a waterfront table gets a seat looking straight out over the bay.
