Olga DinizMarch 8, 2013The lobster tail and the salmon are amazing! Also loved the 5 tastes for dessert. Great food, wonderful view. Book a table near the window before you go and watch the beautiful sunset.
The FeastJune 14, 2011Add drama to your oceanview dinner by timing it around the high tides (seasonal schedule available on the web site). At no other restaurant in San Diego does the surf crash against the windows.
Merve AltıntaşOctober 12, 2017The best food i've ate in San Diego. Plates are beautifully and tastefully created with an amazing ocean view ofcourse 😊👌🏼
- EaterApril 23, 2013Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef de Cuisine Ron Oliver helm this iconic dining institution, which has been in the same waterfront spot for over 70 years.
- Allison LinDecember 8, 2017Amazing views and great food, but the atmosphere is a bit stuffy. You're really here for the view, as San Diego has similar amazing food at less pretentious places.
Beautiful...Chef's are THE BEST...waves lap up to the windows...best servers...the food is so amazing! So elegant, yet casual....they are never snobby! It's a warm friendly, lovely place!
Arthur MitchellFebruary 28, 2012Probably the most romantic dinning in San Diego. The French cuisine is outstanding and the view amazing. Visit the bar to see the great wash-out of the late 1970's
Dessi VolpicelliJuly 29, 2015The view is spectacular, the food is elegant and gentle both in quality and favors. Absolutely loved the place.
Jordi Perez-LopezJuly 13, 2014Good restaurant, great atmosphere, great feeling to see the sea ...... just ... had the prawn cocktail base ketsup Heinz.
Mercy BaronSeptember 18, 2018Amazingly fresh seafood, vegetables and desserts. Steaks too. Most amazing ocean views!
MuddyAugust 11, 2014Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, with a view of the waves breaking on the beach right outside the window
Ocean EnterprisesJuly 10, 2012This is a restaurant in La Jolla that is a landmark for a great diving location where you have easy shore entry and lots of marine life to see!
NoelleSeptember 28, 2013Ask for the 4-G martini! Every table in the restaurant has an amazing view, best place to watch the sunset.
Joel BlazquezFebruary 24, 2017Impressive scenic views. Just came for a drink. The bar does not face the ocean. My cocktail has a long list of ingredients but disappointing. Don't expect much niceness from the cocktail waitress 😒- Elaine CourtneyAugust 17, 2011Great sweeping view of the ocean, good food, lovely atmosphere, it's one of the most romantic restaurants around. Definitely bring your significant other.
Missie De Leeuw-BonoJanuary 18, 2012Chef Bernard and Chef Oliver are genius! They also have a great book titled Flying Pans--it's a MUST for your collection.
