    The view is only outdone by the best service. An absolute delightful place for any occasion. The quick access to the 5 freeway and avoidance of downtown La Jolla make this a local's favorite.

    Chef Logan and the team here are top tier. We came for brunch and I had the best breakfast potatoes I’ve had anywhere—perfectly crispy and seasoned. The Bluefin schnitzel is the best schnitzel my bf says he’s had stateside (he travels to Germany a lot for work). The dark chocolate babka is soft, chocolatey and balanced. The music is hella fun while you eat and the service is warm and attentive. We’ll be back for sure!

    The service was great as our waitress (Australian accent) was wonderful. We had a food allergy at our table and she was so great with accommodations for the allergy. Great food and can’t wait to come back again.

    For a relatively casual restaurant, the food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. My only comment would be that while acknowledging the restaurant offer outdoor seating with patio heaters, the doors to the main interior portion of the restaurant were kept open for the wait-staff, and it was uncomfortably cool in the indoor dining area.
