This is definitely a date night spot, and it's a great location. The ambiance was giving chill/moody. Like you don't have to put on your Sundays best, but also, if you did, it wouldn't be doing too much. It was quiet and romantic, nice for conversations ????. The service was top tier, and our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and helped us celebrate our special occasion. The food was good, but all the items seemed to have a running theme of spice. The menu is small and unique.

Great date night at Lionfish. Popular, busy and loud place. Sort of a fusion sushi-modern cuisine approach, everything we tried was really good. Great bartender for a pre-dinner cocktail. Good service, entire wait staff was well trained and attentive. Good saki list, good wine list, great food. Will definitely be back.

It was a stellar meal and scene on Devil's Night. Beautiful food (long green beans, wow!), excellent service (top notch), and incredible location in the heart of the Gaslamp District. Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More
