“Our “go to” sushi restaurant in the village. Everything is always fresh, especially the king salmon sushi and sashimi. The non-sushi dishes are quite good as well (ramen, buns, salads). Nice view and decent service - no issues at all but don’t expect Eddie V’s approach. Their model is more flexible such that different people can take your order and deliver the food.“

“Always the best service from start to finish. The chemistry between the servers is top tier. Food is always great. I rotate between the Crab&Crawfish Cake Benedict and a few others but no matter what I always get the Jurassic Pork or Asiago Chicken Fennel as a side! The fresh squeezed orange juice is my favorite. They also have a great drink menu for those brunch days!“

“Where do I begin? This isn’t your average hotel restaurant serving just hotel guests. This is a million-dollar, five-star dining experience with stunning views! It deserves to be a destination in itself, attracting visitors specifically for the food. From the ambiance, music, and jazz nights to the exceptional cuisine and staff, everything is top-notch.
Make sure to ask for the complementary bread, to die for.. we ordered it twice.
Plus, you get validated parking! Enjoy a meal in La Jolla without the hassle of street parking—just luxurious convenience!
This is my 3rd time at the place. Never disappoint!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place!

I had the opportunity to take some awesome clients here tonight at their suggestion. I was so happy with their choice!

Eddie V’s truly goes above and beyond. When I made our original reservation, I shared that this was for a business meeting with clients I love. I requested a table as close to the water as possible. Damn, did they deliver. If we’d have gotten any closer, they’d have had to serve us in kayaks on the water itself.

From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this place takes service very seriously. Our server, Daniel M, had his game on lock! This guy made us feel like we were the only table he had, and I know he was busy. As a former service industry member, I know how difficult that is. He absolutely killed it!

We started out with some Yellowfin Tuna Crudo, Calamari, and their lump crab cake.

The Crudo was unbelievable. It was served on a large, chilled platter in a citrusy and somewhat spicy dressing. Each piece had a thin slice of Fresno Chili (I think) on top with a micro green of some type. It was the perfect amount of heat, crunch from the raw chili and micro green, and the Tuna could not have been any fresher. 10/10

I’m not even sure how they held the crab cake together, because it was almost all crab meat. I have never had a better one, actually. It was served with an aioli which had whole grain mustard in it. The mix of creamy aioli and acidity of the mustard was incredible. Again, 10/10.

The calamari was a really different one. It was served on a bed of fried Vermicelli noodles for presentation. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and is exactly what you want when you order that dish. What set it apart was the chilis, cashews, and scallion on top. It was also uniquely served with a citrusy and gingery sauce, rather than the traditional sauces you get everywhere else. Once again, 10/10.

Moving onto entrees. One of my clients and I both ordered the 22 oz. Prime bone in Ribeye Oscar style. My other client ordered the salmon, which she said was perfectly cooked and she loved.

Ok. Let me break this steak down for you, because sweet Jesus that was perfect. We both ordered it medium rare. It was edge to edge perfectly medium rare. It almost made me wonder if they have some Sous vide and pop them in a pan to finish. That’s what I do at home and when steak is pure perfection like that, it isn’t cheating it’s working smarter to deliver the best product to your customer. The crab and Béarnaise sauce made this like a 47/10.

We ordered the butter poached lobster mashed potatoes which were basically a vessel to deliver lobster and dairy to your dome. 10/10

The Brussels sprouts were absolutely out of this world. More cashews for texture, a glaze that I can’t even explain, and the perfect amount of crunch to tenderness. 10/10

Now, for the truffle Mac and cheese. I have never had a better Mac and cheese in my life. I have no idea how they pack that much truffle flavor in that sauce. I wish I did. The crumble on top of Panko, butter, a bit of cheese, and shavings of black truffle made this one of the best dishes I’ve eaten in a very long time, and maybe even in my life. 500/10

I ordered the smoked Old Fashioned which is served table side. They arrive at your table with a glass overturned and some type of wood shouldering underneath to impart that perfect smokiness. When they upright the glass, smoky aromas fill the air and everyone has to know what’s going on at your table. The server then takes a massive ice cube and puts it in your glass. The pre-stirred and strained drink is then poured over the ice and your skewer of orange zest and a cherry are placed on top. It’s perfect.

By the time we were done, all of us were too stuffed for dessert, but we would have done it if we had any space le“
