Anchoring the Pendry San Diego hotel, Lionfish is one of the Gaslamp's most celebrated restaurants — a sophisticated, design-forward space serving inventive Pacific Rim seafood with Asian accents. The raw bar and sushi program are exceptional, and the $1.50 oysters draw a well-dressed crowd nightly.
