Restaurants near Scripps Shoreline Underwater Reserve

Went in December and it was so nicely decorated for the holidays, food was great except for the gnocchi which was undercooked and doughy but they recooked it for us (lamb chops were 10/10), had holiday drinks (ornamentini was so good), service was great and so friendly, overall 4.5 stars! (0.5 marked off for the gnocchi)

Absolutely amazing! Even without the waves on the window. Which, how can the restaurant control that?! So delicious and elegant. 10/10. Hector was our waiter and he was the absolute best! You can tell the staff works together to provide the best experience for the customers. A highly recommended restaurant.

Fun place, great food, excellent service! Will definitely be back. Nice casual vibe overlooking the water. 

This place was incredible! The food was not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors were amazing. Our server was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to!

Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)
