Our waitress was very attentive for us, and she provided great service for how busy it was and how small the actual restaurant was. With that being said, the kitchen messed up the temperature of my steak, I requested it medium rare, and the first two attempts at cooking the steak, it was still blue rare, but the third attempt was perfect. Besides the hiccup on the temperature of the steak, everything else was great.
Outstanding!! Hadn't been here before and honestly made the reservation because this place was located close to where we were going, had a great rating, and offered substantial Open Table rewards points for the time we were going. We didn't really know what to expect, but were very pleasantly surprised. Great wine, a large selection of menu items, food was delicious, service was outstanding, the place is really cute, and dessert was amazing as well. Though the Open Table points may have enticed us to book this time, we will be returning because we really loved our dining experience here. This place deserves your consideration!!
Candor is our go to restaurant. Food is excellent and we always feel welcome by the owner and staff

Always fantastic we love this place. We've eaten here many times and it's always good. Service is great. Food is excellent a great place to go highly recommend to anyone who wants a great dining experience in La Jolla.
The best meal I've had in a while. The food and service were both amazing. The wine the waiter recommended was delicious and the seasonal food options were great too. We ordered the garlic butter shrip appetizer, the short ribs, and a sundae. All were fantastic. A real local's spot with great food for a great price.
Candor by Giuseppe is a treasure and wonderful restaurant in our La Jolla neighborhood. Highly recommended!
Candor consistently delivers good service and a nice selection of seasonal foods. We shared a starter and entree and imbibed on two speciatly drinks. We were not rushed and had a pleasant meal.
We had an awesome dinner!!! We even made it for a little bit of Happy Hour which was nice! I had never tried the Pasta with meatballs and it was over the top delicious!!!! I loved it!!! The short rib was also amazing as always!!! Well be back!!!

Always an amazing time! The food was delicious and experience lovely. Thank you for making the annual birthday celebration wonderful.
We didn't get to eat there because there were 2 servers for both the outside and inside areas. Many tables were seated at the same time we were so we couldn't even get place settings. Went next door to eat. Disappointing.
Candors offers something for everyone. The remodeled outdoor area is very inviting, the summer menu is outstanding, especially the pistachio pesto gnocchi, and the staff always tries to meet special requests.
Guillermo was such a wonderful server and made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for. His attention to detail was spectacular. We never ran out of water. He refilled our glasses for us often. He gave us fresh silverware for each entrée. We had Lamb Pappardelle, with fresh, homemade tasting pasta, and the lamb was cooked to perfection, and Fisherman’s Stew, so good I couldn’t stop eating the soup after we finished all the lovely seafood. Generous portion and everything cooked to perfection and seasoned fabulously. Had to zobble it up with the bread, then drink it with the spoon. Absolutely delicious. We started out with the fig salad and we both looked at each other like OMG! Why is this so good! Everything knocked our socks off. Just delicious. Carrot Cake was so good and different from any I’ve had. It wasn’t overly sweet, even though there was a lot of frosting. The frosting itself was smooth and creamy and did not overwhelm. It was a nice balance with the delicious spices of the cake and allowed those flavors to come through. Our dinner was truly a memorable experience.
