Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Sorrento Valley

First time to Isola La Jolla. Starting with being immediately greeted and very accommodating with our request for seating, even though they were busy, to the wait staff, our phenomenal waitress Stephanie, and the food...our visit exceeded our expectations. The decor is charming and inviting. We had the Wood Fired Cannelini beans and the Margherita DOP. Both were delicious. All the food coming out looked like I wanted to try.

We had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, service even better and loved the piano music making this one of our favorites in North County.

Everything was well presented and delicious. The service was very good. The only problem we had was our order for calamari. It arrived extremely spicy. The texture of the breaded and fried calamari was harder than average, giving the impression that this was not a fresh dish. Fortunately, a manager stopped by and checked on us. When we told him of our disappointment, he immediately ordered us a fresh batch without any hot spices in it. We were happy and we totally enjoyed the results. 

Service was slow but friendly. Food was delicious and the view is beautiful.

Great place to watch sports for sure. Cocktails and beer selection is fantastic! We had crab cakes for an appetizer, outstanding. The shrimp and grits is very authentic New Orleans style. Great burger too. We are adding this to our rotation.
