Ate here on a Sunday morning for brunch two weeks ago and everything was great. However, we brought out of town guests on Monday for lunch and food was not great. Ordered crab cakes which were terrible. They were mostly filler, with scant crab, and they were overcooked and hard to chew. One of my guests felt that they got sick from the curry clam chowder. Made Monday's reservation 2 weeks in advance. Hoped for a quiet table with a view. We had a view, but the restaurant seated a group of 7 men next to us, who were extremely loud. It was difficult to carry on a conversation, because it was difficult to hear over these 7 men's voices.

Great ocean front cafe! A friend recommended Brockton Villa for breakfast during our stay in La Jolla and she was spot on. Megan, our server, was awesome sharing menu highlights in a professional and congenial demeanor. She was very helpful with menu options. The Coast Toast (elevated French Toast) was a huge winner! Delicious and totally 100% da bomb! If you enjoy a good French Toast it’s definitely worth a try and I think you’ll love it too. Excellent Location, Great service, and warm & wonderful food choices….doesn’t get any better! We shall return on our next visit to San Diego. 🥰🤩😋 YUMMY

It was a cold day so we requested to sit inside but the doors were open so it was like we were sitting outside (although, the outside people had heaters do probably warmer). The food was good
