Our server was so friendly and pleasant (Jadelynn). She was very attentive and is a wonderful asset to your business.

Giancarlo was our waiter during our visit and he was amazing. his recommendation of the empanandas was perfect. All of our food and drinks tasted great. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. read more

My biggest concern was food safety. My husband has a seafood allergy, so he ordered fries as a safe option. After eating only a couple of them, he immediately became sick and ended up dealing with vomiting and an upset stomach for the rest of the day. When he told me the fries tasted strange, I tried them myself, and so did the friends who were dining with us. All five of us agreed they did not taste like regular fries. They tasted like fish. I asked our waiter to check with the kitchen whether the fries were being cooked in the same oil as the fish and calamari. He later returned and apologized, confirming that they were. He stated that this was the first time it had happened, though I am not sure whether that was actually the case. Thankfully, my husband's reaction was limited to an upset stomach and vomiting. It could have been much worse, and I am grateful it wasn't. Aside from this issue, the service was decent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, for anyone with seafood allergies or sensitivities, I would strongly encourage asking detailed questions about food preparation and cross-contamination before ordering. read more

Came here for happy hour to catch the sunset. Parking was the usual annoying situation you expect anywhere in DTLJ, but once you're up on the rooftop, the views definitely make it worth the hassle. They have some happy hour specials that include basic apps and $12 margaritas. We ordered chips and guac and a margarita each. The chips and guac were solid overall, though the guac could've used a bit more salt. The salsa, unfortunately, kind of sucked. The margaritas were very strong, but not in a good way--more like straight tequila than a balanced margarita. I enjoy a strong drink as much as the next person, but these were just not well-executed. That said, the view is really the star here. We came on a day with great visibility, and the sunset was beautiful enough to make up for the mid drinks. Definitely a spot you come to for the scenery more than the food or cocktails. read more

Quaint rooftop bar with great views of La Jolla. Small menu with variety of flavors and choices. Our table had the blackened salmon, pesto pasta and piccata. Brittany was attentive and knowledgeable.

Birdseye Rooftop is a cozy spot with beautiful ocean views--especially at sunset, which really makes the whole experience. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away without a reservation, and since we were just stopping in for a quick snack and drinks, we knew what we wanted immediately. Unfortunately, service was a bit hit or miss. It took about 15 minutes for a server to come over, and we noticed another table seated after us had already been greeted and had their drinks. We ended up flagging someone down, and they did apologize for the delay. On the positive side, our server went out of his way when we asked about Coke Zero. Although they didn't have it initially, he managed to find a bottle for us, which was a really thoughtful touch and appreciated. When the food arrived, we realized we hadn't been given side plates or silverware, and after asking, we were brought a dirty sharing plate, which was disappointing. That said, the food itself was very good--the empanadas were delicious, and the salad, while simple, hit the spot. Overall, the atmosphere and location are hard to beat, but the inconsistent service brings the experience down a bit. I'd probably return for the views and a drink, but hope they tighten things up on the service side. read more

Came here in the late afternoon for a bite & drink with a view. I would have rated this two stars for the service and food but added an additional star for the view. This restaurant sits above a small boutique hotel and has a small dining area and bar that has a nice view of the water. We sat at the bar after being told all of the tables had reservations. Despite it being a small place and two and sometimes three bartenders on duty, we had to wave someone over to get drinks, also had to wave someone over to order food. Our food arrived and there was no cutlery so we had to wave someone over for cutlery. At no point did anyone ask if we needed anything, another drink, etc or how our food was. The food & specialty cocktails we tried were just mediocre, at least by my NY standards. The service was extremely slow & poor, especially for so small a place. At the end, we also had to waive someone down for the check. I wouldn't go back or recommend, but if you just have a drink and take in the view, it might be ok. read more

Stopped by the rooftop bar at our hotel and was met with neutral, uninterested service from the start. The host ignored my question about other tables, and our server had awkward banter when we mentioned a small discount from the front desk. Drinks were good, but service was slow -- our chicken sandwich and fries took 30-40 minutes while others who sat after us got their food first. By the time ours came, it was lukewarm, so we took it to go - which was also met with another sarcastic comment. The only friendly person was the girl refilling water, who was actually attentive and smiling. Not worth the price or the "15% off" that barely covered the $5 split plate fee. The view or drinks did not balance out the slow and off putting service - wouldn't return. read more

We hit this rooftop spot on a perfect night--breezy, great view of the water, tacos calling our name (because Taco Tuesday is a lifestyle). Drinks? Fantastic. Mezcal old fashioned, Japanese old fashioned, tequila flights, mezcal flights... basically, if it came in a glass, we tried it, and not a single one disappointed. My wife's sangria was a hit too. So yes, the bar staff is doing the Lord's work. Now, the service? Let's just say it had... island time energy, except we weren't on an island. It took 25 minutes just to see the first drink, another 30 for tacos, and by the time we finished paying the check, the sun had packed up and gone home. Our beach plan? Cancelled. Instead, we left with the gift of night vision training. Also, shoutout to my carne asada tacos that I asked for with pico on the side. The kitchen heard that as "load it up with pico like it's a salsa commercial." They remade it, but by then I was wondering if I needed to order breakfast too. So yeah--amazing rooftop vibes, killer drinks, tasty tacos... just don't make plans afterward unless those plans involve camping out at the restaurant. read more

We were looking for a rooftop bar in La Jolla and we came across this one. Stopped in for a couple drinks and appetizers. The service it self was great, the servers were very attentive. The ambiance is nice, there's a beautiful view of the ocean. We ordered a draft Pacifico and I got a dragon fruit mojito. The presentation was beautiful, the drink itself was okay. We also got the fried calamari, it was yummy. It came with fried jalapeños and a side of tartar sauce and it was nice touch. It was a bit for this day and we did have an umbrella shading us, but it was still rather hot and a bit uncomfortable. I would love to return here on during sunset! read more

Ceviche was so underwhelming. Lacked any sort of flavor and was terribly under seasoned. It's also packed on the "rooftop" with a covered low ceiling tables close together and then the umbrellas were on their side facing out so unless you were on the edge of the "rooftop" you couldn't really see anything. Also got the tacos and they were two tiny little things. Not worth it. read more

BIRDSEYE ROOFTOP @ LA JOLLA One of my friend's birthday was hosted here, with beautiful views on the rooftop, I was super excited to go to this spot. I decided to get the lemon linguine, which was delicious, I am a huge lemon person so I really enjoyed this dish, and I wish I could've add some of protein next time. It was delicious, not super buttery, great flavor and was about $16. The service was great, and they even gave the table a cake to all share which was kind. Everyone's food looked amazing, and the place itself was amazing vibes with the view of the beach. Overall, great spot and would come again. Parking is free for street. read more

Came here at open and there was plenty of seating. The staff were wonderful, but the food wasn't much to write about. The drink menu, on the other hand, was amazing so I'm assuming that's why this place is popular. Additionally, the bathrooms are located in the hotel next to rooms, so be prepared for either a crowded and/or long line. Loved the rooftop view of La Jolla though, it was so gorgeous! They play great music as well, so the vibes were great. Overall, the drinks and view could make a visit worth it, just don't expect the best food. read more

After I walked by this place a bit ago, I tucked it away thinking "I need to come back and try this". So, when my cousin and I had a girls night out we decided to try it. The hostess stand is at street level and then you walk a steep staircase to the roof. There were roughly a dozen or so tables on the roof, some hightop tables and some normal. We chose a hightop and had a partial view of the water. Even with the angle of the patio the views are pretty nice and the breeze is wonderful. We got there on a Thursday during happy hour and while the margaritas flights looked good, we played it safe and chose house margaritas on the rocks. They were so good! We also ordered the happy hour guac and chips. The portion was great and both chips and salsa were tasty too. For dinner we both chose tacos. While they are street tacos they didn't skimp on the meat or toppings, each taco was packed full! I got shrimp & carnitas while my cousin got carne asada & carnitas. We both really enjoyed them. The service was really great and each server we interacted with was kind. I would definitely recommend Birdseye and look forward to coming back! read more

Wanting a place with a view, this did not disappoint us! Easy to miss as the entry is just the stairway to the seating area. They were not busy and we were able to order quickly. My wife enjoyed an espresso martini and I wanted a gin and tonic. The tonic wasn't up to par, so I was able to order different drink. ( I wish I remembered which one of the specialties I had ) as we were not hungry but wanted something to nibble on we opted for the focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic to dip in. It was just enough to satisfy our needs for the afternoon. read more

On a gorgeous weekend after going to The La Jolla Concours d'elegance, I wanted to go to a rooftop bar. This fit the bill perfectly since I was able to see some of classic cars in the street below. I was seated right away in one of the tables next the glass, so I had an amazing view. It is difficult to get in and out of the tables since they are close together. To start, I had the Girl on Prospect. This was a slightly tart refreshing drink, which was perfect for the weather. I tried the sangria, which was sweet and delicious. To snack on I had the fresh guacamole (it was overpriced imo but it's La Jolla) with chips. I also ordered the salmon at a medium but was more like a medium well. I was able to swap out the veggies for the fries, which were crisp and loaded with chunks of Parmesan cheese. Food & drinks came out kinda slow. I still would come here around sunset to enjoy the view and sip on a drink or two. read more

Personally, my pesto perscuitto sandwich was amazing! The garlic parm fries tasted a little soggy. The staff were very nice and attentive. The reason for the three stars is because the situation to get inside is a very narrow staircase. My partner did not like their meal which was the baked salmon with veggies. It did seem to lack an additional veggie to make the plate seem complete/filling. We didn't get drinks, maybe that's why people like it so much? Not bad, but would probably seek to try another place before here again. read more

They have amazing ceviche! Such good flavor and a good portion size. We'll definitely come back for it. Their old fashioned's are also great--the only reason I give four stars for this trip was because we were stoked for the smoked old fashioned and they told us the smoker wasn't working, which is fine of course, so we got our drinks anyways. Literally three minutes later we saw them using the smoker for someone else's old fashioned. We wish that they would've at least come over and asked us if we wanted it smoked because it had been fixed so quickly. But as always, great views and lovely vibes. Their succulent walls are also impressive :) read more

New place for us! Rooftop dining with a beautiful ocean view! 10/10. For a Friday evening in La Jolla we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly we got a table, especially since this place is small. We waited less than 5 minutes. As mentioned, this place is small, its just a roof top and no inside dining. After walking through to our table and sitting down I quicky realized that this isn't a family spot in the evening. This is geared more towards adults looking for a fun place, for drinks and good vibe. Our table was the only one with kids and my kids are teens. All the other tables were mostly younger adults grabbing drinks and dinner. We had a late lunch so we were only looking for appetizers. We got the empanadas which is served with chimichurri. We also got the fresh focaccia which is served with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and we added pesto. The empanada were tasty. It served with very little chimichurri sauce, not enough to for all to enjoy some with each bite. It was just enough for one person. Thankfully we had pesto so we used that on the empanadas. The focaccia was brought out hot and seemingly fresh with the added pesto we ordered but not the olive oil and balsamic. I had to ask for that. The portion was lackluster for the cost and additional $4 to add pesto and we didn't have enough bread to finish the pesto. The pesto was delicious as was the bread but for the cost not worth it. The service was mediocre at best. I feel that once our server saw that there were kids and we were only getting appetizers he focused on his money making tables. He did not refill my iced tea one time. It sat nearly empty for awhile then I finished it and he never came back. I asked for a copy of my receipt and he never brought one. Sure I wasn't his highest ticket of at that moment but service shouldn't have been like it was. This is a lovely spot and if we did return it may be for brunch only. read more
