Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego Beoordelingen
The food was delicious.
The staff was very attentive, courteous and prompt. The decor had a colorful, Polynesian vibe. Spacious with high ceilings, huge windows for beautiful downtown San Diego views! It's considered one of the 'must go' restaurants for a fir

My wife and I's favorite place to be in San Diego for a great meal and Mai Thai! We love it so much we got married there on 10/25/25. It was a dream come true and an incredible experience we will never forget. The venue and views fit perfectly
My favorite restaurant and bar in San Diego.
Food was incredibly tasty. Service was on point from the moment we walked in the doors to the moment we left (shout out to our super server Issac and bartender Nick). Tiki drinks are strong, flavorful and affordable. Also the bartenders are very will
The view was fantastic!!! The food was very disappointing.
It's not good at all. It has no flavor. We got seared tuna a "deconstructed sushi" with no flavor and salmon with risotto that has no flavor at all. The service was bad. They asked if want to sit outside and we said yes. She put
Good food. Terrible surcharge
Really good. Not as before in the early 80s, but good dining. Had the tasting platter. Would order again The 5% surcharge additional to tax???just because? Then why are we tipping 5 or 10%. Meh
Bar is fine.
Great drinks and ambiance is very nice as well. Great views of downtown and the bay. Food is just ok and nothing outstanding in my opinion. But a nice place to have cocktails.
I ordered the swordfish special.
It was very dry. Won't ever go back again. However, it has a great ambiance and service was good.

Bali Hai has been one of our go to's for many moons since it never disappoints; staff is very friendly & food is insanely delicious.... when I let my husband know I made reservations there, he's instantly in a good mood (wife points) !!
Bali Hai is a great spot.
The ambience is the best. Service was great. I recommend the steak. Food was delicious.

We came here on a whim while staying down the street at the Humphreys (I don't not recommend) And we absolutely loved it! The view is nothing short of breathtaking and the food was wonderful. Our server Issac was on top of it and very patient w
Ate here once.
Beautiful. Wish I had gotten more seafood though. Delish to nosh there none the less.
Came on a Monday night around 6pm.
There was 5 of us in our party. I took a poll at the end of the night to see how everyone felt about the experience. I rated it a 2 star. Two people rated it 3 stars. One person a 3.5 and one person a 4. We all generally ranked the food the same...
We arrived on a Sunday prior to the dinner start time.
So we were daring and sat in the bar while we waited for outdoor seaside table. Yes we did it we tried the famous Mai Tai. So it is not the traditional drink we have loved in the past. It's unique and I was so glad we had an Uber!! I ordered a s

Impeccable view and fun ambiance for my last dinner on vacation. The meal was very good, but knocked off a star for the disappointingly bland pina colada.

Bali Hai was one of the many restaurants I decided to scope out during restaurant week. I've heard such great things and was excited to try their set menu and try out the infamous Mai tai. The Mai tai lived up to its' reputation: strong,

It was a beautiful experience today having lunch with my son. The food was awesome and our waiter Issac was an absolute delight. He is an asset to this establishment. Thank you Issac for a great experience.
Wow what a disappointment .
First the positive this place has a beautiful view. We had seen a bit piece on social media and decided to check it out for "restaurant week in SD". I called prior to going there to see if we needed a reservation, the hostess said no, we d

The calamari was to die for We for the pork dish and salmon dish and it was alright. Service was great and love how everyone was having a good time. Drink are strong and delicious. The views are also beautiful.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service, and awesome drinks, especially the piña colada and the Mai Tai. Food was decent, especially the crispy ahi. I wouldn't recommend the pork belly as it lacked flavor.

My wife and I wanted something different, and Bali Hai came thru. The wait staff was excellent. Their recommendations were perfect, their attentiveness was appreciated. They do not short pour on the drinks and the Wok Fried Bass was delicious, and hu
$53 Citation for BACKING my car into a parking space in lot.
Food was amazing and drinks were better. BUT ... ***Parking Lot Notice**** DON'T BACK YOUR CAR INTO YOUR SPACE in the lot. I just got a $53 citation for backing my car in.
I know this place is famous for drinks but I didn't expect
I know this place is famous for drinks but I didn't expect the hostess Maggie to be sloppy drink. Her breath reeked of alcohol. I have no idea why she was allowed to remain at work. It seemed like she and the other blond girl were in cahoots..
Went in for buffet on a Sunday.
Had to sit outside for the beautiful view. We had Ms. Betty for our waiteress, she has been there 20 plus years. I had crab, fruit, shrimp and ice cream.
This could have been a 5-star, but the noise was unbearable.
We asked for outdoor balcony seating b/c we knew (assumed) it would quieter. But there was a wedding downstairs and the band noise came up through the balcony floor planks. REALLY LOUD. The restaurant could sound-proof that with soundproof mater

Bali Hai is a quintessential Tiki spot with amazing views of San Diego and the surrounding waters. Watching boats sail by while sipping a Mai Tai adds a lot to the experience. However; their drinks just did not live up to expectations. I had the Ahi
Nice place for drinks & appetizers!
Things I like about this restaurant. The views are outstanding but go early before it gets dark. Why, all you see is twinkling lights cause the water view gets dark. Parking is awesome cause there's a lot of free parking. Drinks are strong so if
Noisy!
The atmosphere of this restaurant would be great if it weren’t so noisy. It has a unique style with almost 180 degree views of the city across the bay. But the noise literally gave one of our party a headache. There was a very boisterous group actu
Bali Hai Has Lost It's Local Spirit
When you are a Polynesian restaurant but don't have the "Aloha" spirit, that's strike one. The food and Mai Tai's are excellent, but the management and service are subpar. IT was once a San Diego institution, a place where yo
Bali Hai- I say aye!
We arrived a bit later than our reservation time however, they still had room - thank goodness. The restaurant was loud but very lively and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We were sat by a window overlooking the harbor and had water in o
Great view and staff with awful food
Views and staff were awesome but the food was terrible. We had a late lunch and I had the burger which was overcooked (I ordered medium rare) and really I did not taste good. My husband had the fish and chips and the fish was deeply breaded and not

We have been going to this restaurant for years. Now it is in desperate need of a face lift. The carpet is thread bare. The paint is chipping off of the walls. The staff needs to pay more attention to the restrooms. I noticed toilet paper on the floo
New Chef and Manager needed
I wanted to go to this restaurant for my birthday since I was born in Hawaii and thought it would be nice. I had been before for lunch and enjoyed it. This time, it was horrible. The views are great, so we enjoyed that and our drinks. We ordered Cham
Relaxed, Enjoyable Hawaiian-Themed Restaurant
My wife, daughter, and I tried Bali Hai for the first time this evening. The spirit and decor of the restaurant is very reminiscent of the classic Trader Vic’s, which is not a complaint but just an acknowledgement of the kind of experience diners s
Classic vintage Tiki atmosphere with gorgeous views, best cocktails in town and an exceptional seafood restaurant.
Exceptional restaurant with a classic vintage Tiki vibe and fabulous skyline and bay view! It’s a Time Machine atmosphere but with a diverse menu appealing to a modern palate. Fish is fresh and offers include whole prep or fillets. Delicious and fu
Haven't had a bad experience at Bali Hai.
I love this place so much the food is always made to perfection, the service is amazing with super nice servers and the view from the top level is hard to beat! 10/10
It was not a great experience.
We first got greeted by a host who went mia for ten minutes as she was supposedly getting the table ready. We had to sit at the table for 15 min before anyone showed any attention. The food was ok nothing great or really tasty. Worst was the 5% surch

I'm surprised I've never written a review on this place as many times as I've been here. My bestie took me there for my birthday in November and it was awesome. The view the food the ambience and even the cake for my birthday was amazing. I make
This place is NOT worth the $68 they charge for the buffet.
The service was horrible and extremely slow. The food was like warm at best. The "eggs Benedict" had no sauce; it was an egg, 3 pieces of crab meat, and an English muffin toast dry and bare. The meat was not tasty and not even warm. The
This place is wonderful.
Gorgeous panoramic views of the bay, nostalgic tiki decor. And the food was *chef's kiss*. The firecracker pork ribs were the best ribs I've ever had in my life. Everything was exploding with flavor. We split the sea bass which was a massive piece of
Went to celebrate my 35th birthday there.
The drinks were delicious, and they borough out a little birthday treat at the end, and I can't stop thinking about the dessert.

Cocktails and appetizers celebrating with friends.

The drinks here will put you into a tailspin but so worth it. The food is alright, if you want an amazing view, great drinks and some apps it's the place to go!
Very Disappointed
Food: 2/5 | Service: 3/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Very disappointed with our most recent meal. This is a $$$ rated restaurant and so we expected much better at almost $100 for 2 people. First the good - our reservation was ready, and we were seated at
First time visiting
Great meal. Very nice atmosphere with view of San Diego sky line. My sons got the pork chop, the Korean fried chicken and the short ribs. They all loved it. I got the pepper steak and it was very good. My wife got the honey shrimp. Another great dish
Best view ever !
Was greeted by two cheerful host, Olivia & Sarah. Being Solo I sat up at bar. Musician 3-6pm was playing for happy hour. Started with coconut shrimp. It only takes one mai tai to get lit. Another Olivia tended Bar sold me on the Ribs they were a

Back again after almost 10 years! The food & ambiance haven't changed. Recommended Bali Hai to my friend who was celebrating a birthday, our server Victor (?) I hope, took great care of us in addition to the excellent service at the bar AND food
Always have an amazing time when I go there.
Request a window table and watch the sunset reflect off the bay and downtown San Diego. Food is great, service is great. Ambiance is fantastic. It's lively and loud. Check out the cool memorabilia on display. Go at HAPPY hour and sit in the bar and l

Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
Daar komt het door de community aangedreven biedproces van pas.
Peter kan een bod plaatsen op AppointmentTrader. Dit bod dient als beloning voor ieder communitylid dat helpt om de reservering te regelen. AT stuurt dan notificaties naar ervaren gebruikers die mogelijk kunnen helpen.
Stapsgewijs Proces
1.) Beloning Instellen (Bod)
* AppointmentTrader gebruikt historische data om een redelijk beloningsbedrag aan te bevelen voor het regelen van een reservering – stel, $100.
* Peter wil er graag heen, dus verhoogt hij het bod (de beloning) naar $200.
* Op dit punt bestaat de reservering nog niet.
2.) Een Communitygebruiker Neemt het Bod Op
* CompellingStation67, een ervaren AT-gebruiker, heeft veel succes met het regelen van reserveringen en ontvangt weinig terugbetalingsverzoeken. Zij ontvangen een melding van Peter’s bod van $200.

3.) De Reservering Vinden
* CompellingStation67 gebruikt nu hun contacten bij Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego om de tafel te regelen.
* Als het lukt om de tafel voor vier om 18:00 uur te bemachtigen, krijgt Peter een bevestiging dat de reservering geslaagd is.
* Als CompellingStation67 de reservering niet kan regelen, gaat het bod terug in de pool zodat een andere gebruiker het kan proberen.
4.) Betaling & Bescherming
* Zodra de reservering is geregeld, ontvangt CompellingStation67 de $200 beloning, die wordt bijgeschreven op het AT-saldo van CompellingStation67. Gebruikers beheren hun eigen saldo en kunnen laten uitbetalen via opties zoals bankoverschrijving, PayPal of Zelle.
