18 Best Seafood Restaurants in La Jolla

“Everything about this place is exceptional. The atmosphere is so nice, the food is incredible, and they take such good care of you especially when celebrating an event. I celebrated my 21st birthday here and was taken such good care of by Benjamin! Best server ever.“

“Great view, service and breakfast!“

“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. ♥️“

“Of the best lobster roll outside. Lobster West in La Jolla serves up a buttery, packed-to-the-brim roll that's pure happiness. It's my go-to spot in San Diego for a seafood fix. Every bite is perfection, and the staff is super friendly. You can't beat it“

“An absolutely amazing dining experience! Went at high tide (not King Tide) but still special having the waves come up to our window! It was our 21st wedding anniversary and they did everything to make it special. Special table right on the window with waves up to our window. Custom personalized menu and glass of champagne to toast. Stefano was so classy and treated us like royalty. No rush at all and excellent service all night. There were a few mistakes made like timing and steak a little undercooked but they were so apologetic and went way above and beyond service to correct and make things right (way more than necessary) The lobster bisque was probably best ever and our Poached Butter lobster and Waygu Ribeye were spectacular. Everything was fantastic and how they took care of us over very minor mistakes, was stellar! We will be back for other special occasions and highly recommend for special dining experience.“

“This New York Italian restaurant with supper club vibes was packed on a Saturday night. Ambience was as expected, very good, and food was on point as usual. Two dings: 1. OpenTable states they have valet parking but when we arrived we found out they no longer do. Parking two blocks away was not on my bingo card. 2. Ordered a martini that never came - I guess on the bright side I saved $20.“

“Absolutely amazing cuisine! Exceptional customer service! I would come again!“

“We were celebrating my fiancés birthday and our server Molly was delightful. All of her recommendations were spot on. We don’t drink and she suggested the best tasting mocktails. The entrees and dessert were absolutely delicious. The view over looking the cove was romantic. Overall Molly made this an unforgettable experience and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Absolutely loved DelSushi! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and the portions were very generous. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and was prepared with care. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s also the perfect option to grab some sushi and enjoy it at the Torrey Pines cliffs with an incredible ocean view. Great quality, great value, and excellent service. Definitely a hidden gem and a place I would highly recommend. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu“

“Such a cool atmosphere and sweet staff! Everyone was very attentive and respectful even going so far as to let us know of cool spots to check out next.

That’s not even to say how amazing the food was. I always appreciate a restaurant who isn’t afraid to be authentic and kick up the spice level in their food. They were transparent in telling us the spice level and of course we agreed (Mexican and Chinese couple we loveeee spice) and they were excited to share their El Picosito aguachile. Perfectly seasoned shrimp, and super fresh, tasty tortillas and amazingly prepared branzino.

I can’t give a better congratulations. Thank you again to the staff for such great recommendations and service! 🤎🤎“

“An excellent Szechwan Chinese restaurant that prepares authentic dishes with lots of vegetarian options. The portions were good size, freshly prepared with quality ingredients and delicious. The service was excellent and the options for Vegetarians were plenty. The prices were very reasonable and the location is excellent and easy to reach .“

“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. Casual atmosphere. Great service to go along with the great food“

“Thank for having high chairs. Will definitely continue to eat here. Also everyone was super friendly! Not just the staff but the guest! That’s the vibe when people are happy at work. I also noticed the team was very attentive to ensure the salsa bar was stocked. This is by far the nicest, cleanest and delicious Rubio’s I’ve been in!“

“Food is delicious! The views are spectacular! And service is always top-notch!“

“My bride and I just spent 4 nights at the hotel. It was very nice. The restaurant, to us, is the crown jewel. We had a superb dinner. The seafood was fabulous, our server (Steven) was a delight and of course the sunset! We had breakfast on our last morning and it was very good! We came here years ago when it was Elarios and we were not disappointed this time either! We will return!“

“Wonderful view of the beach and ocean and great mud pie!“
