Gaslamp Quarter Restaurant?

I will be taking my husband to San Diego for his birthday, and we will be staying at the Omni. I%26#39;d like to surprise him with a group of friends for dinner at some place in the Gaslamp Quarter. Mexican, Seafood, Hawaiian, or American are all fine.... Just a cool place within walking distance that would be good for a group. Any suggestions?

There are dozens of great restaurants in the Gaslamp District so it%26#39;s really difficult to choose, but for a group celebrating a birthday you might really enjoy the Gaslamp Strip Club - no, it%26#39;s not what it sounds like - the strips refer to steaks and they also have other options (I had Ahi). Explanation: you choose your meat raw from a menu and they have several big grills around the restaurant, and you choose your side dishes, and then you stand around the grills, and each person grills their own meat however they want it cooked. It%26#39;s a really fun, festive atmosphere, and the cooking is half the fun - sounds like it would be great for your particular dinner.

Gaslamp Quarter Restaurant?

I like croces, owned by the late jim croces wife, good food at not too crazy prices.

Check out Mr. Tiki%26#39;s Mai Tai lounge! It%26#39;s very festive, the food is great, and they handle large crowds very well. I have held a couple of larger parties there and they were perfect. The food is awesome, the drinks are great. It%26#39;s a Cohen Restaurant, so the quality is outstanding.....

Thank you so much for the responses! I think we%26#39;ll try Mister Tikis Mai Tai Lounge.... It looks like a lot of fun!
