The 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 Feast

Add 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 Altıntaş

The best food i've ate in San Diego. Plates are beautifully and tastefully created with an amazing ocean view ofcourse ????????????

Eater

Executive 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 Lin

Amazing 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.

EverydayOpera

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 Mitchell

Probably 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 Volpicelli

The view is spectacular, the food is elegant and gentle both in quality and favors. Absolutely loved the place.

Amazingly fresh seafood , vegetables and desserts . Steaks too. Most amazing ocean views !

Beautiful restaurant , delicious food, with a view of the waves breaking on the beach right outside the window

Ocean Enterprises

This 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!

Noelle

Ask for the 4-G martini ! Every table in the restaurant has an amazing view , best place to watch the sunset .

Joel Blazquez

Impressive 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 ????

Carlo Suijkerbuijk

Stunning views ....... Excellent service and very good company.

Elaine Courtney
