Awesome food and view of the Pacific. Finding parking in La Jolla is a bit limited but they do have street public Valet for $11 or a parking lot next door for $10 during the day.

Miguel BA

Unbeatable view , great service. Try the piña colada , they do a great one.

Andy Dunn

Really fun vibe. Good drinks. Food was hit or miss but the good was very good. Great energy. Skip the sweet potato tacos . The best view .

Alexandre Munhoz

Absolutely fantastic. You’d think that with this view they would neglect the kitchen, but the food was actually delicious. Tartar , crudos , seafood .. all fresh and tasty. Good service and wine list .

Chef Trey Foshee at George's California Modern is cited as a guiding force in the San Diego food culture and one of the first champions of local seafood . [Eater 38 Member]

That view tho. Cocktail program is absolutely top. Great spirit selection and knowledgeable bartenders . Host and table service were disappointing. Avoid the ceviche .

happy hour 3:30-6:30 with ridiculously reasonable prices for such a LIT atmosphere/location. get the short rib panini ; life is short .

Tolga

Foods are good; view is nice ; but they start dinner time at 16:30 which is so Early and prices are nearly double Of lunch . (exactly same starters 7 Usd at lunch ; 13 Usd at dinner ) ;

Aida Shams

Great experience ! It's really hard to reserve side tables though! I called one month in advance and still couldn't get the side table! AWESOME food and good service .Loved it!

Amanda Reuss

Grab a cocktail at the ocean terrace for sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Great wine list and daily food and drink specials are available daily.

Dana Tedesco

The Tasting Menu is well-worth $72. The four fully-satisfying, locally-inspired creations by Chef @TreyFoshee are clever, innovative & taste-tittilating in a non-pretentious fine-dining environment!

Kristen Haas

Sat in the middle level because we thought it'd be too hot on the roof. Nice environment, small. Fish tacos were so tasty! Topped with mango salsa & an avocado cream sauce !

Natalie M

Delicious food and awesome cocktails . I prefer sitting on the second level but the upstairs outside level is very fun too. All the food the same and yummy

Akhil Bhandaru

Great View complemented by great food. When you're in La Jolla remember to go and enjoy the fine dining in a relaxed environment . The yellow tail was very delicate and nice, and all the food was great

Diego Romero

Top dining, great service. Grill es fish tacos , Garlic Roasted shrimp and a great Sesame Crusted Tombo (picture). Definitely repeat.

Serious Eats

This spot offers two separate dining concepts: the semi-casual Ocean Terrace on the top floor, and George's California Modern, a fine-dining restaurant below.

Aolani Smythe

Very recommendable fine dining in any occasion at its best.. Lovely scenic view enjoying every breath while the yummy food makes the tummy so happy :) Five Stars!

Basheera Abdulaziz

The food is really tasty and unique, but I think it’s too herbal for sensitive people. The Salmon dish + the view .. Heavenly !!

Hana Kateman

The top level is beautiful! The ocean is gorgeous and creates the perfect setting for a meal. I got the shrimp tacos , and they were delicious. Definitely recommend!

Courtyard San Diego

Home of some of SD’s greatest seafood , George’s offers multiple iterations of the perfect waterfront dining experience. The terrace & the restaurant serve separate menus, both with world class eats!

Nana

We got calamari , octopus and tacos and the octopus was delish! So we're the tiny potatoes in it. Creme brûlée was ok and the molten chocolate cake was mediocre at the best

Morris Beard

The views are awesome, the food is delicious!

Payton Swick

Not a ton of vegan options but they are well marked and amazingly delicious! Highly recommended if you want a very fancy meal.

Melanie George

Such a nice spot. Hubby and I enjoyed a beautiful view and yummy margaritas . Of course we also enjoyed the specialty, fish tacos . Delish!

Charles Chen

Great scenic views of the ocean. There is a public valet service right in front for the restaurant .

Firat Akcoray

perfect ocean view ! delicious food kinda expensive but totally worths! be prepared to wait 30+ mins if u do not have a rservation at lunchtime!

El Doosty

Good views up top AND in the bar . Also a lounge on the bottom section (so there are 3 seating choices in all). I don't think the kitchen justifies the cost tho. No oysters .

Francisco J. Barrera

For $75 you get the 4 course menu which is totally worth it. Octopus was a bit salty for my taste. Don't miss the doughnuts for dessert !

Maher Alsayooni

Amazing food with an amazing view . Sit in the terrace the best restaurant in la jolla. Dont miss gorge soup ????????????

Alexa Pomerico

Make a reservation a day in advance (for a weekday) and eat on the terrace during sunset .

Aaron Lewis

Expansive views and really amazing fish tacos . Great for a drink and a light bite in La Jolla.

Kat Quigley

The farro salad is so delicious! Every flavor compliments each other!!! Also the five spice chicken salad is tasty... Definitely sit on the roof for views & ambiance!

Kristin C.

Exceptional service! The terrace will provide a breathtaking view of the ocean as long as it isn't foggy. I recommend getting a reservation .

Sharon Bonds

The roasted garlic shrimp and the grapefruit infused martini were excellent. Enjoyed the ocean air on the terrace . I would definitely come back.

Kelly Bone

The vegan options are lovely and thoughtful!

Wonderful view . Sitting outside you'd think they might have only average food, but you'd be wrong! Delicious breakfast and brunch food .

Russell Hirschorn

Fancy restaurant with excellent food. Dont forget to order an extra dirty matini with the blue cheese stuffed olives . #traveltude

Missie De Leeuw-Bono

Major upgrades and lots of new menu items. Fab views . A must go when you're in the neighborhood !

Kathy Sawicki

Highly recommend the black bean chicken soup . Perfectly subtle heat and wonderful flavor.

Jason

The mussels are great as an app. Grab a California Caipirinha , you will thank me later.

Mike Burke

When the Halibut is on the menu it is hard to beat sitting on top on the terrace and having that plus a few vodka sugar free red bulls ;)

The Culinary Institute of America

Get a taste of what Chef & CIA Alumnus Trey Foshee is cooking up! He's taken the skills he learned with us and developed his own California-Modern style of cooking.

Sophie Gallet

Delicious cocktails , great bar & view . Ceviche and service were so so

Jackie Brown

The fish tacos are a must. It gets busy so make a booking for dinner at sunset !

Barry Rucker

Stuffed dates, fish tacos , faro salad with ahi tuna . Very good but crowded for lunch . Great view .

Melissa Escher

The Halibut and Bloody Mary are amazing!! Best I've ever had!!!

Sam Moreau

George's is always fantastic if you are looking for a place to relax and have an amazing meal. Enjoy don't rush!
