Situated in Mission Valley, our 9,000 square foot brewpub includes a full service restaurant, an expansive and lush outdoor beer garden, and a pretty stellar team to make sure you always have good food in your mouth and a solid beer in your hand.

Little Italy was built by the fishing industry. Ironside attempts to continue that narrative. It's our contemporary interpretation of the classic fish house and oyster bar. Located in a historic auction house on India St we did a full comprehensive restoration of the building, with three open-air culinary hubs featuring an expansive raw bar, chefs table, and bakery. We tried to be mindful of the past while looking towards the future. Groups of 6 or more will be charged an automatic 20% gratuity. A 4% surcharge will be added to all guest checks. For group reservations of 7 guests or more, please contact the restaurant at 619-269-3033 or via email to info@ironsidefishandoyster.com.Ironside is now taking reservations for patio and dining room seating.

My Nonna's name was Isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito!

    From the beginning when we arrived, the hostess , server, bus boy, chefs everyone was unbelievably kind and so on top of things. The manager visited the table to also make sure everything was ok. We have been there about 10 times already and love it. The ambiance is great, food is great and the service is excellent.

    Excellent cocktails, and the food was very, very good. Has the sea bass and the fish and chips. Both were excellent. It’s expensive, but so are all other seafood restaurants nearby. Right on the water with great views.

    Yet again, we had another fantastic meal at Queenstown. We brought some new friends to eat there with us this time. This was our 6th time to SD and we eat here every single time we come to SD. Everyone loved the drinks, appetizers, and meal. And I continue to tell conference colleagues that this place is not to be missed. Looking forward to our next meal here when we come back to town!
