Way too loud, and the food is mediocre at best. Also, no free water.
Altogether extraordinary movie theater with very helpful, professional and knowledgeable staff. 10/10 on comfort and customer service that made the movie going experience that much better. Top marks to Lex, who specifically helped answer our questions and get everything sorted out for us.
The theater is really nice, the chairs are comfortable but squeaky which takes away from the cinematic experience. Parking was validated.
The service was excellent, our waiter Jesus was very nice. The screen was huge.
I’m writing this review to warn people to be wary of the food - my entire family went to see a movie and eat dinner in the theater and we all left with stomachaches and woke up with heartburn. We ordered regular things like buffalo chicken pizza,...read full review

THE LOT La Jolla offers a unique experience of dinner and a movie in a great ambiance. The food quality is generally good, with favorites like the Beef Hot Dog and popcorn shrimp appetizer, which is crispy and served with a tasty sauce. The Chicken Caesar salad, ahi tacos starter, and sliders are also highly appreciated for their delicious flavors. The restaurant has a nice setup that is relaxing and sophisticated, especially when dining outside by the fire. Service is friendly and attentive, making guests feel valued, and parking is available, which is a plus in La Jolla.
The movie recliners are comfortable and clean, and the overall atmosphere is enhanced by pleasant music during special events and movie showings. Ordering food during the movie is a fun experience, although it can be a bit tricky in the dark to get hot food off the grill. The restaurant's large size and low noise level, especially when not crowded, allow for easy conversation. The chocolate lava cake is big enough to share and a perfect sweet ending to the meal.
Prices are on the higher side, reflecting the overall experience, which is enjoyable and worth a few extra dollars. Some guests have noted that the volume of movies can be quite loud, but the friendly staff, like Nathan, help create a positive environment. While some dishes like calamari might miss the mark, and the food quality can vary, the overall experience at THE LOT La Jolla remains memorable and fun.
