   Good cocktails. Sushi rolls were great. Seabass was good but a bit bland. Overall overpriced but good. We ordered an extra sushi roll but after 30 minutes it didn’t arrive so we had to cancel in order to get to the show on time.

   Great place to dine before going to a play at the LaJolla Playhouse. Food was delicious. Sound level only drawback.

   A perfect pre-theater place to dine. Very pleasant and easy. They are very ready to handle the theatre crowd and time limitations.

   Great food, great service. A little pricey but portions are good size. Surprisingly loud with customers talking. Not sure why this is - so the ambience for a pricey meal can be a bit disappointing.

   Had a very nice dinner here before the show we were seeing and our server was awesome. Not sure how you get the parking price that's advertised tho.

    I am so disappointed there is no sushi. I understand it could be me due to waste. The food is solidly good. My mussels were a little overcooked. There was quinoa with the fried tofu which makes no sense. Quinoa's wetness un-crisps the tofu. The ahi tacos were very pleasant. I'm thankful they are right next to LJP for convenience.
