Bali Hai / 2230 Shelter Island Drive San Diego, CA 92106

Great service, beautiful view of the bay and wonderful company!

Bali Hai has a long history opening it’s doors in 1954. A remodel was done in 2010 including the dock area and a separate space for private events called the Hawaiian Village.

They have an extensive mixed drink menu along with a warning, two drink maximum of their signature Mai tai cocktail. It’s no wonder since it contains no juice. 

I ordered the Mr. Bali Hai, includes rum, blackberry brandy and pineapple juice. Very tasty indeed. Daughter had the Pina colada and Gramma had the Mai tai. I took a sip and yup its very strong. 

For lunch we decided upon the coconut shrimp for two of us and daughter had the salmon dish. The dipping sauce for the shrimp added a nice pop of flavor along with the lightly crunchy crust on the juicy shrimp, I found myself wanting more.

For dessert we had the tropical cheesecake, chocolate praline torte and banana foster creme brûlée. We all tasted a bit of each delightful, decadent dessert. 

At the time we went in June masks were still required upon entry and walking back and forth from your table. Plus all employee’s had to wear a mask as well.
