Best Fine Dining Restaurants in University City/Golden Triangle

This was my first time at any Eddie V’s. We went to the La Jolla location and I was not disappointed! I brought my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday and they had decorations at the table, which I didn’t even ask them to do! They offered us a complementary glass of champagne, and sat us near the windows so we had an amazing view. The food was incredible, from the appetizers to the main course. She was given a free birthday dessert, that they flambéed at the table. Thankyou you to Eddie V’s for creating such a wonderful experience for her and for myself, we will most definitely be back!

Amaya is a rare gem. Fine dining in an elegant setting, with a low noise level that allows for undisturbed conversation with your dinner companion. They have a nice selection of classic French cuisine menu items. Our food was expertly prepared, beautifully plated, and every course was delicious. Our service was impeccable. I compare the experience to A.R. Valentien (which is currently closed for remodeling thru March 2025).

Service and food top notch. Noise level was high. We’ve been here before and it wasn’t as noisy. Maybe it was just some tables with very loud guests.

Phenomenal experience both with service and food. We planned to try the restaurant when it opened, but somehow never had a chance to go. I’m so happy that we have an opportunity to go the other night. Such a fantastic experience. And, hour teenagers also requested to go on our next visit.

worth every penny and every calorie - bravo chef bradley and staff!
