The Top of the Market with its breathtaking San Diego harbor views is one of our city’s top San Diego Restaurants. Executive Chef Michael McDonald was named Chef of the Year for 2011 at the Gold Medallion Awards by the San Diego Restaurant Association. Every aspect of this restaurant is first class from the white linen tablecloths to the professional wait staff exude with excellence. And the seafood selection comes from throughout the world daily.

But their top of the line excellence goes even farther. There is not just one restaurant here, there are two of them, one on top of the other. The Restaurant on the first floor is The Fish Market Restaurant. These two award winning bayfront restaurants with awesome views serve the freshest and finest seafood available.

Chef McDonald’s exhibition kitchen features a seasonal menu that may include seared sea scallops with celery root purée, poched organic egg and dijon vinaigrette. Equal to any occasion is the red Thai curry soup. An appetizing main course is the Maine lobster tail with pistachio purée and roasted fingerling potatoes. The fresh Alaskan halibut with grilled polenta, hot house tomatoes, hedgehog mushrooms and pea tendrils is equally recommended. A great standard, which is always wonderful, is the Dungeness Crab Cioppino featuring a medley of fish, bay scallops, shellfish, calamari and prawns simmered in a rich marinara sauce. They offer a handful of mouthwatering, non-seafood entrées too. A perfect conclusion to any meal are their wonderful desserts. Dine here tonight! Enclosed patio.
