Here’s the revised review: Mixed Feelings About This Place I visited this restaurant for brunch and was initially impressed. The ambiance is lovely, and the view adds a relaxing touch to the overall experience. The food, at first, seemed quite good—well-prepared and flavorful. Unfortunately, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I noticed a long hair strand in my dish. When I brought this up to the server, she apologized and took the plate to the kitchen. However, she returned with a “new” plate in under two minutes. This made me question if they had simply removed the hair and replated the same food instead of preparing a fresh serving. Adding to the concern, the restaurant has a glass door that gives a partial view of the kitchen, and I couldn’t help but notice that none of the staff seemed to be wearing hair nets. This raised further doubts about their hygiene practices. This situation overshadowed what could have been a wonderful brunch. While the staff was polite, the handling of the issue felt rushed and insincere, and the lack of visible hygiene measures was disappointing. It’s a shame, as the setting and food (without the hair) had potential. If management improves their kitchen practices and ensures better transparency and hygiene, this could be a great spot. For now, I’m hesitant to return. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to add!

We were a table of 5 tonight, and we were very happy with our dishes. The food was amazingly delicious and each dish was perfectly cooked from our appetizers to our desserts. Great service too. Beautiful ocean views! Elegant restaurant. We’ll be back again very soon.

It’s expensive compared to similar foods and similar places in La Jolla, I guess that you pay for ambience.

The turkey was shredded and all dark meat instead of separate turkey leg, thigh or breast meat. The sides of dressing, potatoes were in small bowls with no gravy to add over it. Some of the vegetables were grilled to a black burnt look. But the salad was very interesting with many ingredients like hickory and goat cheese. But the hi-light of the meal was the large and very thick and delicious prime rib. All in all made for a pleasant thanksgiving evening with views of the La Jolla Shores.

The view is only outdone by the best service. An absolute delightful place for any occasion. The quick access to the 5 freeway and avoidance of downtown La Jolla make this a local's favorite.
