San Diego Best/Worst Neighborhoods for Restaurants
To have a competition amongst neighborhoods is merely a competion among the people who live there. Since 75% of restaurants fail in the first year and all good restaurateurs know their base clientele comes from within 5 miles...The food should generally reflect the neighborhood its in. And as gentrification pushes east from downtown, the next "new" food hotspot is gonna have cheap rent and a burgeoning "it" scene. That is until the new neighborhood comes to town. What's next Barrio Logan? In a nutshell, I appreciate neighborhoods with a longstanding reputation of getting people from outside the area to make the drive, wether or not it has a few new "hotspots" So, I'll take la jolla over most places and kearny mesa over posh North park

Everybody needs to remember that seaport village is not and was not ever intended to be for natives. It is a cash cow for the city and for those restaurants, believe it or not. All the restaurants are owned as a group and I know that the harbor House has had the same GM since the 80's...the reason why? because that trap hasn't been in the red for 30 years.
