    Sperb dining experience. Delicious striped bass and hamburger. Beautiful views from the terrace. The heating lamps kept us warm on a chilly evening. Many thanks for a fine dinner.

    Outstanding service and exceptional dinner selections. Every item we ordered from salads to main courses to the wonderfully decadent chocolate dessert was a ten. The restaurant is certainly one of the top places we visited on our stay in La Jolla.

    This is an outstanding restaurant. We loved everything from the pork belly and ahi crudo appetizers to the duck and lamb entrees. Service was impeccable and they gave us dessert for our anniversary.

    Very friendly service and great location. They even remembered my note that it was my wife’s birthday and they included a candle with our desert that they comped. Very much appreciated. Shrimp sandwich with truffle fries was yummy. Pavlova desert was unique and loaded with contrasting flavors. Thank you for a wonderful birthday lunch experience

    Very good service and pleasant ambience. The food is mediocre at best. The waiter didn't ask to heat up the donut so it arrived room temperature. My breakfast presentation lacked interest. The potatoes were room temperature and tasteless. The eggs were overcooked. The coffee could have been much better.
