Everything was plated beautifully. The staff were wonderful- so grateful for the recommendations! Will definitely be returning when we visit La Jolla again.

Fast service after ordering. Highly trained staff. Very cordial. Not difficult to park close on nearby streets for free. Just slightly beyond and out of reach of the very crowded part of Prospect Ave. Prices are no higher than the long wait line places. Very reasonable.

This time, lamb loin and ahi tuna both delicious. Presentation beautiful and service attentive. And can’t beat the half-price wines on Wednesday. Had looked forward to dining on the Terrace on lovely evening, but all tables were in the sun with no umbrellas- disappointing.

Just visiting here in San Diego for a couple of months and we usually like to try out tasting menus in different places. For the price per head, the food didn 't really live up to ourexpectations. It was good, but not that creative, and didn 't feel like an experience so much. We 've had $50/head tasting menusin NYC that were so much better. Service was great though, and the staff was really friendly.

You definitely need a reservation even in the middle of the week because the restaurant isn't exceptionally large and it's popular. The inside was classically designedand elegant. Service was excellent, and we happen to go on Wednesday when bottles of wine are half price. We decided to go witha bottle, and we ordered the duck and the striped bass for our entrees. We also got the tuna crudo which was incredible, as wellas the Napoletano dessert which was top five desserts I've ever had at a restaurant. It had an incredible blend of textures andflavors that wasn't too sweet but incredibly dynamic and unique. Absolutely go again. With the appetizer, to entrees and adessert plus a half-price bottle of wine, after tip it was around $215 for two of us. Well worth it.
