The 50th state rules here by virtue of its cuisine, and its tiny place on the map be hanged. Meanwhile, the restaurant’s accouterments are everchanging in deference to tiki art or Polynesian carvings of human forms. And the fact that the building sits smack on the water only enhances the flow of things. Mahalo – enjoy! Bali Hai Restaurant 2230 Shelter Island Dr. Point Loma (619) 222-1181 balihairestaurant.com

Point Loma Seafood It began with an idea . . . Point Loma Seafoods first opened its doors to the public back in 1963. Kelly Christianson and his wife Marie began selling fish out of a small store with one small display case. Kelly set exacting standards of quality and freshness, so much so that only the finest catches were kept for sale. In time, along with their sons Jack and John, Kelly and Marie slowly built Point Loma Seafoods' reputation as more than just a fresh fish market. Soon they began smoking and processing both sport-caught fish and fish for retail sales.

Voted Best Tea Selection Point Loma Tea If you want to know about Point Loma Tea, you need to get to know its owner, Cheryl Graf. Cheryl is a life-long tea enthusiast, really – since childhood. Some of her earliest memories are of spending time with her Grandmothers in the Midwest having tea parties. Her Mother, as a Minister’s wife, was well known for her hospitality, welcoming visitors to her home with fresh-baked goodies and tea. Cheryl’s first job as a teenager was assisting the British owner of a Boarding House in Bellflower, CA provide afternoon teas for her guests, serving tea, polishing the silver, and more. As a wife and mother, she often worked in Church Hospitality and Women’s Ministries, and helped organize many tea events, from a dozen participants in a home, to kid’s tea and etiquette events, to hundreds of women in hotel ballrooms. In 2000, after a successful career in office administration, Cheryl had the opportunity to “retire” from that career, and follow her passion for tea and hospitality as a full-time career. And that journey over the last dozen years culminated in the opening of Point Loma Tea in Oct 2012. For Cheryl, it is all about the experience you will have when you explore the awesome specialty teas and related accessories in our store, and in your home, with your family and friends.

Our special edition tequila is rested an additional month in Old Town Tequila Factory's own toasted oak barrel that is specifically crafted for finishing the maturation process. This critical detail, which is a proprietary step for this particular Herradura Tequila, ensures every ounce captures the distinct flavors and notes drawn directly from that specifically chosen barrel.

Every bottle is approved, authenticated and signed by Casa Herradura's Master Distiller.
This family has been in the Thai restaurant industry in San Diego since the early 1990s. A lot of people say choosing the name for a restaurant is a very important part in its success. When they were deciding the name of this restaurant, they thought of ISSARA. “Issara” in the Thai language means liberty -- fitting, since they are located in Liberty Station. They provide casual dining and a commitment to satisfy customers with great service and delicious Thai food.

THANK YOU FOR THE GOLD MEDAL
To all of my clients and friends in Ocean Beach & Point Loma,
Best Tea Selection Point Loma Tea
If you want to know about Point Loma Tea, you need to get to know its owner, Cheryl Graf. Cheryl is a life-long tea enthusiast, really – since childhood. Some of her earliest memories are of spending time with her Grandmothers in the Midwest having tea parties. Her Mother, as a Minister’s wife, was well known for her hospitality, welcoming visitors to her home with freshbaked goodies and tea. Cheryl’s first job as a teenager was assisting the British owner of a Boarding House in Bellflower, CA provide afternoon teas for her guests, serving tea, polishing the silver, and more. As a wife and mother, she often worked in Church Hospitality and Women’s Ministries, and helped organize many tea events, from a dozen participants in a home, to kid’s tea and etiquette events, to hundreds of women in hotel ballrooms. In 2000, after a successful career in office administration, Cheryl had the opportunity to “retire” from that career, and follow her passion for tea and hospitality as a full-time career. And that journey over the last dozen years culminated in the opening of Point Loma Tea in October 2012. For Cheryl, it is all about the experience you will have when you explore the awesome specialty teas and related accessories in our store, and in your home, with your family and friends.

From designer brands to sport glasses and prescription lenses, it’s a one-stop shop for the latest eyewear fashion and prescription lenses.
It all started in the ’50s. Would you believe they started out as a small chain of convenience stores? It's true. Way back in 1958, they were called Pronto Markets. In '67, the founder, the original Trader Joe, changed the name to Trader Joe's. They made the stores bigger (if you can imagine), decked the walls with cedar planks and donned the crew in cool Hawaiian shirts. Most importantly, they started putting innovative, hard-to-find, great-tasting foods in the Trader Joe's name. That cut costs and saved you money. Still does.
