“Pesce freschissimo servito al momento, servizio veloce e amichevole, bella atmosfera, vini e acqua italiani. Ho ordinato un’insalata con gamberi e granchio, quando ho iniziato a mangiare ho visto che c’era della cipolla e la stavo togliendo, il proprietario accorgendosene è venuto da me per farmelo rifare. Un’attenzione fuori dal comune. ♥️“

“The people working there are always so great, I had a problem accessing my free bday cupcake online and they took care of it in person. Their gluten-free red velvet is the best! And I love that they're having more gluten-free options too. They have the cutest Irish coffee green frosting cupcakes right now for Saint Patrick's Day.“

“We love this bar, been dining here for over 22 years. We've seen it change from the original twice in that time, the latest recently opening so we checked it out today. We ate lunch here and the positives were it was excellent food, good drinks and great service.

It was also our own private restaurant, we were the only diners which surprised us at first. But, once we saw the both very limited and very off-the beaten-track menu choices we understood this is now a place you come when you either want Happy Hour or have a very specific craving.

The menu is oddly specific for a tourist area, none of the very usual comfort food items on this menu here; (not kid friendly in my opinion either) as an FYI). But, to be clear, our lunches were delicious!

Also, in the County of over 1120 micro-breweries, they literally only offer 1 beer on tap and no bottles. One beer! They also only offer one desert. so you either want the one or you do what we did, walk down the street and eat desert somewhere else ?.

But, we do love this hotel and it's restaurants, we've been dining, drinking and staying here for over 22 years (as locals) and still encourage you to check it out.“

“We’re visiting from Austin Tx and decided to try Philz, it was one of the best coffees we’ve had in a long time. The pastries were so delicious as well. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I hope you all come to Austin someday🩷“

“Love this place, they have a coffee for whatever your tastes are. I’m impartial to their iced coffee myself. Also seems to be very popular for sitting and doing work etc. but not overly crowded. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you are near any of their locations 👍🏻“

“What happens when fine dining meets meal prep ? Urban plates you nailed it. Who knew best steak ive had could be prepared fast and efficiently delivered to my door. Wow 🤩 5 stars . RFK approved.“

“My wife is half Cuban on her mother side, and I can attest that this spot is the real deal. Not only is the ropa vieja was perfect! The Yuca fries were awesome, the empanadas were fantastic, and the black beans paired with everything. The rice was warm and buttery, and the service was so fast I was shocked the food was ready. Those place is a gem that you can’t miss if you enjoy Cuban food and atmosphere! My wife is a vegetarian and she got the veggie empanadas, and it was her favorite.“

“Loved the salads here!! we had the Thai Crunch and Kale Ceaser!! The Ceaser was my FAV. The dressing was SO GOOD. Big portions and friendly staff! We will definitely be back! Oh and their homemade cookies 😋😋😋😋“

“I recently discovered a charming location for boba lovers like myself, and it turned out to be the perfect pit stop on our journey. The place boasts an impressive variety of flavors, aligning well with my dietary preferences. Opting for a dairy-free treat, I chose the piña colada flavor, which was nothing short of delightful - a sweet and creamy concoction that I highly recommend to anyone with a similar taste for tropical flavors.

The ambiance of the boba shop is equally appealing. It's spacious, filled with natural light, and maintained with meticulous cleanliness, creating a very inviting atmosphere. The overall vibe is relaxed and positive, making it a pleasant place to sit back and enjoy your drink.

Moreover, this spot is notably dog-friendly, much like most places in La Jolla, which makes it an ideal stop if you're out with your pet. For those seeking a refreshing start to the day or a healthy snack, this boba shop is a fantastic option, offering not just delectable boba but also an array of healthy food choices.“

“Locally owned, by Lisa. She's wonderful, we've been stopping by pre-covid and post-covid for years, from Surprise, AZ. Great spot to chill at during your vacation. We will always come back by! ✌🏽❤✊🏽“

“A special place for both long time locals and newbies. Good for a delicious double cappucino a long work session on the laptop.“

“Simply the absolute best. Everything is ridiculously amazing and the owner ROCKS!“

“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.“

“Don Carlos Taco Shop is a La Jolla institution for great Mexican fast food. Great friendly staff and good food. I use for take out exclusively.“

“Da italiana, ho cenato più volte in questo fantastico ristorante e vi dico che il cibo è ottimo. Qualità dei prodotti 🔝, servizio impeccabile. Il locale è veramente tanto delizioso. Ve lo consiglio vivamente non rimarrete delusi!“

“My sister came along with me to San Diego for work from Irvine, and I give her the credit for finding this place. WOW! This place blew me away.

Our order:
🍵 two 20 oz matcha lattes - 10/10 thank you so much for putting the right amount of ice - not too much!! Our matcha lattes did not feel diluted at all. The additional $0.50 we paid for the extra 4 oz was well worth it.
🥣 Mediterranean bowl - 10/10, what a delicious combination of ingredients! I want to make this at home as a pick me up. It reminded me of the best parts of pesto pasta but without any pasta!
🌯 Soy Chorizo burrito - 10/10 we were told that the so Cal burrito is also a popular menu item. The personal preference of our cashier was the soy chorizo burrito and it did not fail!! The two are essentially the same except the type of meat (for the most part, so we’re told hahaha)

What drew us to this place has been the featuring of Parutea’s matcha. The matcha quality truly is amazing. It’s delicious.

The plating was crisp and clean - everything about the restaurant was seamlessly put together. It was a haven for good food and a way to start the morning peacefully! There’s a good number of people trickling in as soon as the restaurant opened.

The people here are kind, present, and respectful. I’m so grateful for you all.

They offer milk alternatives including pistachio milk! The food is cooked to just the right temperature where the flavors stand out because of the temperature at which the food is presented.

Next time - I can’t wait to try the pastries 😋
God bless you all!“

“It’s always the best. Pinky is the sweetest!! We never miss Harry’s when we visit La Jolla. It’s a locals tradition!“

“Such an awesome place with great food and an awesome beach setting! Whenever I come to San Diego to visit family, I will always come here after a great day on the water.“

“Love what they have brought to our San Diego farmers markets!!!! A must for exceptional American artisanal cheeses!!!“

“The most adorable setting serving absolutely delicious food. Fast friendly servers are all smiles and so sweet. The coffee is incredible and if you like Unicorns, well, that's doable here too! Don't miss it. Loved our experience.“

“Butter roll perfection warm, soft, and buttery enough to make you question every other sandwich you’ve ever had. The lobster? Fresh, sweet. I did try adding extra lobster, but honestly, it didn’t change my life enough to justify the price save that cash for dessert or another roll.

The place is tiny, with just a few outdoor tables, but you’re surrounded by adorable little shops, so it’s basically like eating luxury seafood in a postcard. The vibe is super chill and informal the kind of place where you can wear flip flops, sip your drink, and watch people browse stuff they don’t need.

Easily one of the best lobster rolls I’ve ever had.“

“Amazing food, staff & atmosphere!“

“Best ice cream in town and it’s open late.“

“Celebrating a Milestone for a family member, one of my favorite types cuisine....I would go back again !!!“

“Every thing was very tasty , the home made pasta was delicious .. good service - authentic Italian choices. A couple of food issues could be addressed; the chicken substituted for the veal piccata was very dry and tough . The bread served before dinner was also dry and cold , not warm and crunchy. It was not the usual crusty warm Italian bread we are used to in good Italian restaurants , and they didn't not serve it with olive oil , salt / pepper, we had to request it . Also the olive oil would be good if it was seasoned with garlic or if a dry seasoning was offered to season it . A very easy option . We had to ask for the salt and pepper for the bland olive oil. Small things can make a big difference !“

“Great flavours! Great atmosphere!! Great service!!!“

“What a wonderful hidden gem! We got açaí bowls, the breakfast sandwich, bagel and the Mexican coffee and horchata iced coffee and everything was soooo good. My faves were the Mexican coffee and sandwich. The owner was very nice and informative on where to park, Sights to see, etc. highly recommend!“

“Friendly Barista & a Great listener ☕😁☕ 'Gino' I love the outdoorsy convenience of the coffee truck @ 4009 Park Blvd. corner of Lincoln & Park.“

“So delicious! My coworkers and I have started to go here whenever we meet up for lunch. The prices are very good given the location, and the atmosphere and service are pleasant. Highly recommend!“

“AMAZING FOOD! Service with kindness and care! 10 out of 10!! Can’t wait til I’m back in town to come again!“
