Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in La Jolla

Peter was our server today. As regulars he is one of our absolute favorites. He is professional and very knowledgeable about the menu and always steers us towards the best options.

The ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.

The special menu item, surf & turf, was delicious! Tender fillet, scallops and shrimp with broccolini and mashed potatoes—all tasted divine. A special thank you goes out to Joy who personally contacted me to accommodate an earlier reservation time.

Our waitress was really sweet and my husband and I enjoyed our brunch and bottomless mimosas. I think her name was Anna !

My only complaint is that when we arrived at 6:30 it was so noisy that we could not hear each other talk . The noise died down by around 8:00 .
