“This was sooooo good! We come to La Jolla all the time and I don’t know why we didn’t eat at this restaurant sooner. We have walked by it a million times and finally tried it! The food was incredible- we had the chicken skewer platter and gyro fries. The chicken and meat were very good, the pilaf was delicious, salad, veggies, tzatziki and hummus too- all 10/10. Highly recommend this place, we also sat outside by the fire and it was super warm. Service was fast and the atmosphere was great, not too busy for Friday night. The prices are great for the portion of food you get.“

“Magical dining experience at the stunning Mediterranean Room in the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Sitting on the dog friendly patio you can see a beautiful view of the ocean and downtown La Jolla. We enjoyed the red wine, Oaxacan Spanish octopus, striped sea bass, and coffee crusted lamb. The service was friendly, quick, and accommodating. Recommend!“

The Honey Pot Bar • $$
1031 Prospect St, La Jolla

“They put us in a windowless back room for Valentine's Day. Every couple in there looked super disappointed when they realized we were in a closed room (converted storage closet) next to the bathrooms. Also, I needed a steak knife to eat my chicken. The other items we ordered were drowning in chunks of raw garlic or syrupy sauce. Overall it was poor dining experience.“
