Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

Bathed by the Pacific Ocean to the West and by the Mar de Cortés to the East, California’s Peninsula is layered with a rich history of cultures reinventing seafood with bold flavors. At our Barra de Peninsula we serve the best bounty that these Oceans have to offer, and we celebrate the people who make our coasts so delicious, from Uni and clam divers to the Concheros in Baja and much more.

Why we love it

Executive chef: Paco Moran

Aguachiles and ceviches are just the beginning of the seaworthy delights at Loreto, a sweeping, modern indoor-outdoor restaurant that transports you straight to the Mexican sea. Explore the menu that dives deep into the flavours of the California Peninsula: Think scallop tostadas with wasabi aioli and whole branzino served with black beans, rice, avocado, habanero onions, and mini quesadillas. Toast it all with an oyster-infused martini.

Ate outside at 8pm in the evening on a mild late-summer day. Lovely modern ambiance. inside and out. Great selection of wines. Tried the funky dry Frnech grenache orange wine and it was delicious. My wife is allergic to shellfish and we both were expecting to peruse the vegetarian menu, but we were were only given the regular menu and had to ask for it. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have been given the menu in the first place. Otherwise, all our servers were excellent and the food was imcredible. Would visit again.

Great raw seafood. Had the tower at the ceviche bar. I was looking at 3 ala carte items but the tower was only a little more money and included everything I was going to order ala carte. A couple of the prepped oysters were a little overpowering for the shellfish, but the Aguachiles and Tostadas were all excellent. Love the tostada and saltine accompaniments. Counter and wait staff were friendly and helpful.

The restaurant is attractive and chic. Try and score an outside table if the elements cooperate. Music is rather loud. $15 valet is rather high as well so try street parking. Had two tasty, delicious but overpriced cocktails ($18 each) at the bar before being seated. Our check later showed they added 3 additional drinks that were not ordered. When this was identified, our server didn't bother to acknowledge, apologize, or even feign it. She took the check, went to make the adjustment, then returned and just dropped it at the table without even looking at us. Wow. Food: Started with the octopus croquetas which were good. Also tried the octopus brochetas. The octopus was lathered in some BBQ tasting sauce which took away any worthwhile satisfaction. Went on to their signature branzino zarandeado which was extremely UNDERWHELMING with barely any taste. Perhaps it had been frozen for too long. We had to add plenty of lime juice plus some of the sauce from the brochetas just to get some taste and flavoring. For two cocktails, two appetizers, and a main dish for $180, I would expect better. Will not return as there are better options both for taste, experience, and cost.

Great food, nice wine list (plenty of Italian and French) love the vibe at the bar… not a fan of the table seating though (seems very much like an afterthought especially if you’re seated in the back section away from the action)

What a spectacular experience: walking in & greeted most welcomely, the stunning interior (& exterior) with the kitchen displays and gorgeous bar not only promised a wonderful time, it totally delivered one! The festive tasty drinks, the service (each person clearly so happy and a harmonious vibe well felt throughout the evening!) and the FOOD. EVERY. PLATE. EVERY ONE. All both visually stunning, and excitingly delicious. Wow. Cannot rate this place higher!!! Kudos to management, kitchen & front of house, very well done!
