Luxurious Dining at Greystone Prime Steakhouse & Seafood

By John Breaux | December 10, 2019

When it comes to fine cuisine, Greystone is without a doubt a cut above the rest among San Diego’s culinary scene. Proudly serving the Gaslamp Quarter since 1999, Greystone is a local legend that has become a top destination for San Diego residents. 

Priding itself on being the only family-owned steakhouse in Gaslamp, Greystone has raised the bar for fine dining, creating an atmosphere that is both chic and sophisticated with a world-class menu and prime wine list. 

Through its dedication to the pursuit of culinary excellence, Greystone never fails to bring its customers an extraordinary experience with every visit. The menu here is New-American with a twist, consisting of sublime selections featuring fresh seafood, prime steaks, and handmade pasta. 

After taking in the sheer elegance of the dining area, perusing the menu will have you browsing through some of the finest dishes available. Best to start your meal with a shareable appetizer like the Table Side Filet Tartare, served with prime filet and a delicate Coturnix quail egg dashed with truffle. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the Oyster Rockefeller for a pleasant and light start to your meal either. 

Taking pride in serving the freshest seafood available, Greystone has a superb selection of coastal dishes. They offer Live Maine Lobster up to 3 ½ pounds, served with warm butter and Meunier sauce. The Miso Chilean Sea Bass is a delight, covered in a Yuzu hanakazu glaze and accompanied by sauteed spinach, shiitake mushrooms, and crisp spring peas. 

Of course, the most popular selections at Greystone include fine cuts of meat. They offer USDA Prime 21 day dry-aged steaks, ranging from 8 oz. Filet Mignon cuts to a 44 oz. Porterhouse. Perhaps the most exquisite thing on the menu is their selection of Wagyu Beef. This special cut is derived from several breeds of cattle throughout Japan, where techniques have been perfected to ensure each slice has an unrivaled degree of marbling, giving it a tender, succulent taste unlike any other. 

Greystone offers three selections of Wagyu Beef, including an American, Grand Norman Australian, and the Japanse Miyazaki Prefecture A5. They currently offer 3 oz. of their Japanze Wagyu for $100, served with a generous portion of black truffles and lightly dusted with gold flakes. 

Good food is never complete without a fine glass of wine, and Greystone has an award-winning wine list. They are one of seven in San Diego that have won the Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence. Their extensive wine list encompasses selections from around the world, including rare options not found anywhere else in San Diego. Greystone’s servers have intimate knowledge of the wine list to ensure you have the perfect pairing for your meal. 

Greystone offers pricing dining options for any size group, whether you’re having an intimate gathering or a large celebration. Their highly demanded private room can accompany parties under twenty guests, complete with a fireplace and a classic wine cellar appeal. 

Currently, the restaurant is offering a special where you will receive a $20 gift card for every $100 spent on your meal. This offer will run through December 31st, so be sure to take advantage of it soon!
