With sprawling views from Point Loma to the Coronado Bridge, Top of the Market offers a spectacular setting and fresh seafood dishes from executive chef Michael McDonald, the former chef at Dakota and 25 Degrees at The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. The menu changes twice a day, depending on the freshest fish. We recommend the salmon ceviche served in a coconut shell with avocado chunks, papaya and fresh coconut bathed in coconut milk and lime for a little zing. Soup lovers will appreciate the flavorful lobster bisque or hearty clam chowder. Grab a table on the deck and watch the parade of boats on the harbor while nibbling Hood Canal oysters, or get close to the action and sit at the counter where you can interact with McDonald and his team as they produce treasures from the sea in their exhibition kitchen. John Dory rests over clams with asparagus spears, and Dover sole nestles on airy potato purée. True decadence unbound appears as Maine lobster potpie with truffle cream sauce and Chino Farm vegetables. Be sure to share creamed corn and Brussels sprouts sides, and then save room for desserts such as the crème brûlée.
