Enjoy your favorites daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and enjoy brunch every Saturday and Sunday. Reservations highly encouraged. Ocean View Terrace seating IS NOT GUARANTEED and will be given to GUESTS PRESENT for their reservation based on what is AVAILABLE AT THE TIME.

    The Mediterranean Room at the La Valencia has always been a staple. The service is excellent. Our server had a welcoming smile and was helpful and professional. Our Cobb Salads (we all ordered the same thing) was outstanding. The greens were varied and abundant, the added chicken was tender, and the presentation was beautiful. It was a meal. The Pupusas were delicious as an appetizer. Different than the ordinary offerings in restaurants. I would recommend them and would order them again. The chocolate mousse Birthday Dessert was beautifully presented and so delicious. Thank you for making our girlfriend's birthday lunch one to be remembered.

    Great service but the acoustics are not helpful bc the noise level from a large party made it very hard for our ladies lunch to hear one another! Food was good!

    The 2 ladies at the hostess station were a little rude. I got a text saying our table was ready, and when we checked in, they dismissed us and acted like we wrong for showing up 10 minutes early.

    Lunch menu is very limited. We had a salad which was somewhat wilted and the bacon crumbs were stale. The service was below par. We live in San Diego and went there for lunch to relive some old memories. Would never eat there again.
