    We recently celebrated our 45th anniversary there and were so impressed with every detail. The service was top-notch, and our meal was delicious. We were offered a glass of champagne, on the house when we were seated. We split a wedge salad, and enjoyed a center cut filet mignon that was cooked to perfection. My husband also got the lobster tail with his filet, which he loved. We were on the fence on which accompaniment to get, and our server offered that we could get half orders of both the mashed potatoes and cheesy scalloped potatoes, so we did. And then they brought their amazing Bananas Foster that they flambe' at your table. So yummy! We will definitely be going back and not just for special dates.

    Came in for Friday happy hour and really enjoyed the experience. We sat outside. We had a view and could enjoy the live music without it being too loud to have a conversation. Had food from both the happy hour and the dinner menu. Especially enjoyed the Kalbi skewers, the pork lettuce wraps and the coconut shrimp. The service was excellent too. Definitely will be going back.

    Great atmosphere. We sat outside and had a beautiful view of the cove. We even saw dolphins! The service was excellent and the food was very good. The chilaquiles were too spicy for me but I'm sure others would love it. Definitely will be back next time were in La Jolla.
