Bali Hai Has Lost It's Local Spirit

When you are a Polynesian restaurant but don't have the "Aloha" spirit, that's strike one. The food and Mai Tai's are excellent, but the management and service are subpar. IT was once a San Diego institution, a place where you had your wedding, graduation cere...

Bali Hai- I say aye!

Relaxed, Enjoyable Hawaiian-Themed Restaurant

My wife, daughter, and I tried Bali Hai for the first time this evening. The spirit and decor of the restaurant is very reminiscent of the classic Trader Vic’s, which is not a complaint but just an acknowledgement of the kind of experience diners should expect...

Classic vintage Tiki atmosphere with gorgeous views, best cocktails in town and an exceptional seafood restaurant.

Exceptional restaurant with a classic vintage Tiki vibe and fabulous skyline and bay view! It’s a Time Machine atmosphere but with a diverse menu appealing to a modern palate. Fish is fresh and offers include whole prep or fillets. Delicious and fun - perfect...
