Great experience, highly recommend for any occasion. Shout out to our server Stefano, he was exceptional, great customer service 👍. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Dined here with my fam on my birthday, food was excellent especially my grilled lamb chops which was cooked in perfection, hubby and our son loved their food too. Ambience was very good and not too noisy. Loved it here will dine again someday. Highly recommended 👍

Food was all delicious! It’s so great to receive impeccable service… an art form that seems to have been lost a bit after Covid. The patio seating was comfortable and the decor and ambiance were great. What an absolute treat!

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.

Went for dinner prior to a movie like many others on Saturday night. The place was packed with a number of large parties for which this is a good place. Service was very energetic and excellent however the food was fair to good at best. However given its ambience and energy I'm not certain having excellent food would materially impact their business.
