Jimmy's Famous American Tavern - Point Loma

Valentine’s Day dinner, and our only time here so not sure how a “regular” night would be but the staff was great and accommodating. We arrived about an hour before our reservation and they were still able to get us a table right away. The service was terrific - Connor was knowledgeable and had great positive energy. Atmosphere was also great. Right next to the water (marina) and we sat outside. Food was excellent. Fish tacos (which is a San Diego must) were amazing! Even though it only came with 2 tacos it felt like enough since there was also a side of delicious homemade crispy tortilla chips. The tacos were also topped with this avocado sauce that just tied everything together.

Nov 2025 • Friends Good food served fast at this waterfront dining restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered and DOG-Friendly. The hostess and the server were friendly and checked on our comfort and needs multiple times. I had the large SALAD with added grilled (5) SHRIMP. The salad had fresh greens, avocado, grilled corn kernels, tomatoes. I was not able to finish it! My friend had the same salad but had the grilled SALMON added. I am told the hamburgers & fries are good here too.

This visit earns five stars based on the exceptional service we received. Unfortunately, I did not catch our server’s name, but she was truly phenomenal. While we did experience a longer-than-expected wait, approximately an hour after being quoted 30 minutes, the overall experience remained positive. The food was good, and the atmosphere was enjoyable, especially with the consistently beautiful views of the water and passing ships, which add to the charm of this restaurant.
