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,
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
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..

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.
Bali Hai is a quintessential Tiki spot with amazing views
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
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
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

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
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
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
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.
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

Amazing setting, great service, delicious food.
Really fun for an occasion. Recommend making a reservation.
Cocktails and appetizers celebrating with friends.
Ordered the ali'i for tasting for two; Plate winners: coconut shrimp, crunchy and tasty; beef skewers, soft quality beef; and ahi poke, delicious. Plate losers: Spinach Lumpia, just a fried spinach dip wrap and unappetizing ; and the riblets which ha

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

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
Kitsch is how we described it.
The location, location, location, the building, the view, the vibe, the service are too good. It was fun to visit, we checked the box. I think you can read into that. Don’t get their famous Mai Tai, it’s just pure booze and unpleasant to drink

The service is okay and friendly, the location and view is great. However, the mixed drinks are completely wrong. We had a Long Island and aloha kiss, the Long Island just tasted like tequila and gin. The aloha kiss gave hits on dirty dish water. Th

When it comes to the view and the service, I would give Bali Hai 10 stars. The restaurant sits on the second floor offering a panoramic view of the San Diego seaside and Downtown harbor. The entire restaurant is enclosed with massive windows so you d

This is a super fun place to visit while in San Diego! My husband has raved about it for a long time and I relented and tried it on my way to the airport. The staff is so friendly, the drinks are beautiful (and strong), the food is fresh, and the vie

**MUST READ IF YOU PLANNING A WEDDING HERE** My wedding was last month and the venue itself is beautiful, having the backdrop of downtown San Diego is gorgeous! I gave 2 stars for location! But let's get down to business. The event coordinators were
Loved the Polynesian food and the view.
The main tais are indeed quite strong (all alcohol and no juice). It's a little expensive so get here for happy hour to enjoy it for a lot less. Happy hour ends at five.
Uncreative food
. We loved the look of this interesting restaurant on Shelter Island. The view is beautiful and the decor makes you feel like you are in South Pacific. The food was disappointing. We shared the pupu platter for two. The coconut shrimp was very good
Iconic San Diego Staple
We came here after a harbor cruise for some drinks/appetizers and it did no disappoint as a staple in San Diego for decades. I had been here once before for dinner with my parents who have since passed as this place was very special to them and wher

Things started a little rough. We made a reservation about 2 months ago for dinner & to have a table by the window to look out over the water. We were a little early & were told that a window table wasn’t available right then. If we wanted
BEWARE!!! 5% added to all food and beverages.
We stopped here for drinks having heard about the wonderful location of this restaurant. Yes, the location is superb. The staff is superb. The food is mediocre. The prices and billing were horrific. Instead of re-printing new menus with increase
Location Food Wow!
We enjoyed their mai tai drink special first before dinner with their calamari which were both excellent. We both had the wok fried sea bass which was absolutely amazing. One of the best fish dishes I have ever had. The view of the water and boars an

Nehmen wir an, Peter hat einen großartigen Morgen und beschließt, seine drei Freunde am selben Tag um 18 Uhr ins Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego einzuladen.
Er sieht auf der Website des Restaurants nach und stellt fest, dass keine Reservierungen verfügbar sind. Dann schaut er auf die Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego-Seite bei AppointmentTrader, findet aber auch dort keine Nutzereinträge.
Genau hier kommt der von der Community getriebene Bietprozess ins Spiel.
Peter kann ein Gebot auf AppointmentTrader abgeben, das als Belohnung für jedes Community-Mitglied dient, das daran arbeitet, die Reservierung zu sichern. AT benachrichtigt dann erfahrene Nutzer, die helfen könnten.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung
1.) Festlegen einer Belohnung (Gebot)
