    We LOVE this restaurant. Fabulous ambiance, great service, great cocktails, wonderful food. They have a perfect dirty martini, excellent selection of fresh oysters, the best lobster bisque anywhere we’ve been and we love their prime bone-in ribeye. Last night we finished our dining experience with a bananas foster cake that was unbelievable! It was so rich it could easily be shared. We always like to sit in the outdoor rooftop dining area looking out over the La Jolla Cove and Pacific Ocean but the lower level indoor dining room is elegant with a great bar. Either way, you can’t lose!!
