“Very fun and lively atmosphere! The design is very well done. The food was great, I personally loved the oysters as they were served differently than I have experienced. The jalapeño Caesar salad was also amazing! Had a kick! Main dishes I enjoyed were the burger, and the chicken, very good and flavorful. Very fun and different cocktails to choose from along with fun zero proof options which is great if you do not drink alcohol. Service was spectacular, very kind, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be coming back!“

The fisherman stew was a delightful medley of fresh seafood, and even the burger exceeded my expectations. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the overall relaxed and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in La Jolla, Candor is definitely worth a visit.“

“4.5 stars for what is a relatively intimate setting....the bartenders are all pretty great and they make good cocktails. My only gripe is the cost. On my last visit it was $78 for 3 cocktails not using top shelf liquors, which in San Diego is pretty steep.“

“Although we live a short two miles from here, it was our first time. We we celebrating a birthday and had an early reservation. The food was amazing. The two entrée s were both good. The sea bass and the filet. The service was mostly good, although I felt they could have checked more often. It seemed like both servers were in the back of the house more often than taking care of guests. We will definitely come back on the strength of the cuisine!“

THE LOT La Jolla New American • $$$

“Attractive large restaurant with good food, good service, and nice ambiance. We had the Chicken Caesar salad, the ahi tacos starter (3 tacos), and the sliders (3 sliders) for a quick meal. They were all delicious. We also had the chocolate lava cake, which was big enough to split. Yum! It wasn't crowded and so the noise level was low. We were able to hear each other talk. Restaurant also has parking, which is a plus in La Jolla.“
