    May be my new #1. Glad I finally tried it. Every dish was fantastic and the service was top notch. The duck was the best duck dish I’ve ever had. The Cacio E Pepe was phenomenal.

    Outstanding food and lovely ambience. Our service was excellent! This is a gem in La Jolla, one of the best meals I have had in the area. We ordered the sea bass, a steak, sashimi and roasted pear salad. All were out of this world. I will be back for sure! Also, the ambience is really nice, very upscale.

    Pleasant and comfortable and consistently good except for the 4% surcharge. I would rather they tack it on the price of food then at the end seems to be frivolous and unnecessary

    Staffs very friendly. The place looks magnificent like the food. Everything was perfect. We appreciate the card given to the birthday celebrant. They even gave us free desserts. It’s a good place to celebrate and be with family and friends. :)
