We had an amazing lunch with an exceptional service. The food was just out of this world, the Whole Roasted Branzino the best, but if you look for pasta or pizza we tried the Bucatini Alla Amatriciana and the Italian Meat Pizza, both were espectacular… This restaurant is a must in San Diego/La Jolla.

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. The best thing about our dining experience was our waiter, “Max”. I would highly recommend you request Max should you dine at Eddie V’s. Max was attentive without being over bearing, humerus, friendly, and simply great at his job.

Our server today was kinda off push and rush us to order. I didn’t know because it was Christmas Eve and people were waiting for a table or just she wanted to get the job done . The margarita I ordered today was not much alcohol in it, even I ordered a second one with double shot, still pretty light. Other than that, the food was good like always.
