    French toast
    Giuseppe A.

    Food was good. French Toast were superb. Beutiful view and most importantly great service. Kainoa and Taylor made our experience here absolutely exceptional.

    Surf and turf Benedict
    vincent j.

    Cody's has a very beautiful view so you should try to get an outdoor seat. The food itself was okay! Nothing to write home about but definitely good. The food is not cheap either. If you are trying to come here for value this is definitely not it. I got the surf and turf Benedict for about 30 bucks and it was a very very small portion size. This place is definitely for the vibes not the food! The service was definitely great. People were super nice and tentative and made sure we were taken care off. I only recommend of you are looking for a nice view and a good chat.

    Family suggested this restaurant while we were in town and it did not disappoint. Soon as I saw the blueberry pancakes, I knew that I had to have them. I also went with (crispy) bacon and a side of potatoes that were delicious! The staff were very friendly and attentive. And of course, the views of La Jolla Cove were stunning

    Traditional Eggs Benedict

    This may be my most reviewed brunch spot in San Diego and I truly tell everyone to go here when they are visiting because the food, service, and views are all 5 star worthy! I came recently with my puppy and I was blown away by how helpful they were with getting everything for not only myself but him too. I came right at opening so it was not busy so I got a table right on the outside patio and they brought over a bowl of water for the pup which he needed after running through the park before. I ended up ordering some coffee and my brunch and I also asked if I could get a some things for my pup to have some food as well. They were so amazing and even brought it out in a dog bowl for him and gave it to me first to make sure I could give him the portion I wanted which was just above and beyond what I thought. I normally always bring a little water bowl and stuff for him anywhere we go that is dog friendly. I got my usual which is the traditional eggs benny and I get it with the potatoes and added avocado. I truly love how fresh everything tastes here and it is a quality meal that I think is worth the price of it when going out to eat. I have enjoyed every meal that I have had here and will continue to come back again and again!

    Great location, great place. Stopped by for brunch, and they had a great food selection without being overwhelmed. Service was nice and the food came out super quickly. Our table was always being taken care of The food was delicious. We had omelets, which were delicious and their pricing is very reasonable. Their location is perfect for seeing the ocean from afar and we had a great time. If you are in the area, try them out and share your experiences. Happy brunch time! Check the pics!

    Lobster Cross Section

    Date of Visit: 12.27.2025 Cuisine Type: American/Seafood Vibe: Nautical themed with amazing view over La Jolla Cost: ~$20-$30 depending on what you get This was a nice little discovery recommended by my parents who sometimes walk around La Jolla (very unexpected surprise). This place was ultra busy but we were fortunate to come during an off peak time (wait was still 35 minutes) What We Ordered: Cappuccino - 4/5 - I prefer cold brew but this was as expected milk and chocolatey with the hint of coffee. Cody's Burgers -4/5 - All the elements of a good burger (i simply don't like most burgers since it's just too messy to manage), the fries are double fried so it remains the nice crispiness despite being round wet ingredients Lobster Roll - 5/5- Massive...you have the tail and claws and a 1/2 a loaf of toasted brioche bread...it is honestly worth the cost Steak and Frites -4/5- Cooked well! The green sauce is creamy but I guess if we are doing sauce I prefer chimichurri French Toast -3/5- Everything is fresh on this plate. Not too sweet but I guess the french toast isn't that crispy but also I personally don't really like horchata egg toast Fish n Chips -5/5- The breading is done right...light enough so it creates crisp and not become its own entity when you take a bite. Also their cole slaw doesn't use typical ranch it feels like greek yogurt or something. I actually really appreciate the nod towards making things actually healthy Atmosphere: Clean, feels relatively private even though we were pretty much next to the main door, open bar concept in the center, and there is a deck further down the restaurant with more open air dining environment Service: Quick and friendly staff Ambiance: Fun, festive with sea decor, and great view of people and the coast Overall Thoughts: Best thing I ate: Lobster Roll Something to improve: Most things are pretty peak already. I think if anything make the french toast crispier and the burger easier to eat heh. See y'all again one day.

    Surf and turf Benedict
    Sally M.

    We've been here for a late brunch a couple times on the weekend and haven't had a wait for a table. Both times we were seated at the same booth. The frose is very good, especially on a warm day. My husband typically gets the lobster roll while I get a benedict. Both entrees are very good and filling. Service has been good as well. The servers are friendly, though there is sometimes a bit of a wait to get drinks and food when they are busy. Overall, a great spot for brunch. A little pricey, but that is expected with the area. Dog friendly as well.

    A relaxing perch to gaze upon the ocean and have a delicious breakfast. Met some friends here for a Tuesday morning brunch. Waitstaff walked us through the menu.

    Crab and Corn Chowder
    Sandy N.

    Came here on a Saturday and was seated right away. I don't know what happened, but we had difficulty finding the entrance even when the rug stated the restaurant's name. LOL. It's on the second level so take the escalator or stairs to get to the entrance. Anyways, we ordered Crab Cake Benedict, Javi's French Toast, Crab and Corn Chowder. The Crab Cake Benedict was okay. There wasn't much crab flavor, and I wish there was more to this dish. The Javi's French Toast was decent. The bread was soft and tasted like how a regular bread would taste. It can be a bit heavy, so we ended up taking it home. The crab and corn chowder was the most disappointing. I love corn so I can't complain too much but it was also lacking crabs. Disappointed that we barely got any and wish it wouldn't been in larger chunks. Overall, I had better elsewhere but it was honestly just okay. The interior is very nice and relaxing. The server was attentive and stopped by often for water refills or additional assistance. Parking on the streets.

    Cody's is not to be missed! My husband and I had a fantastic breakfast on our last day in La Jolla and we wished we discovered it sooner. The view and the decor are beautiful and our server Trevor and everyone working that morning made us feel really welcomed and cared for. I had the veggie hash with a side of sourdough toast and my husband had the French toast. Both were excellent and the complementary coffee refills were much appreciated. Looks like an awesome spot for happy hour too. Don't sleep on this place!

    Half portion of the crab cakes Benedict (we split it between two people and they put it on two separate plates, so nice!)
    Kendall D.

    This breakfast was PHENOMENAL! It is a little pricey, but worth it for the food. I had the crab cakes Benedict and it was so tasty. The ambiance itself makes it worth the stop, but the service and food made it even better!

    Cute Christmas decorations outside before you enter

    I was quickly greeted, as I walked in. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the vibe was very festive. I didn't order much, just a soup which was delicious and a salad. My friend ordered tacos that she enjoyed. I have to say that the seasonal Mistletoe Margarita was very tasty. The first time they made it, it was too limey. They quickly apologized and remade it so deliciously!! I have come in here in the past, but at the other old location nearby. It's still considered one of my favorite restaurants here in la jolla. I hope Cody's is here to stay because it is such an asset to this community. Trust me on this!

They sat us outside with a nice view of the water and mountains. For drinks we ordered the lavender pina colada, hot earl grey tea, and seltzer. The drinks came pretty quickly. The food a little slower. I got the farmer's omelet with bacon. My husband got the coconut French Toast, my mother-in-law got the burger with avocado but no sauce or buns. My son got the eggs benedict, and my daughter got the burger with no pickles or sauce. I really enjoyed my omelet. It had kale, pepper, mushrooms, cheese, avocado and I asked for bacon which they cooked into the omelet. It was soft, fluffy, and well seasoned. The only disappointment was the home fries were not crispy. My daughter thought her burger was only ok and her fries were not very crunchy. My son liked his eggs benedict. The eggs were perfectly runny. My husband liked his French Toast. My mother-in-law liked her burger but she asked for no bun. However, there was a bun which is why we didn't recognize the order at first. She just removed the bun. We enjoyed the meal with great views.

The Italian meat pizza was small but actually really good and ended up being the best thing we ordered. Unfortunately, I found a hair in my pasta, which completely grossed me out. After that, I couldn't bring myself to keep eating it. The service wasn't great either. The woman at the front had an attitude, and the staff overall felt dismissive. Parking in La Jolla is already difficult, and the experience just wasn't worth the hassle. Overall, between the disappointing pasta, finding a hair in my food, and the poor service, I wouldn't recommend it or come back. Food: 5/10 Service: 3/10

Both orders were excellent 5/5 stars. I tried the Horchata Latte but couldn't really taste the horchata and wasn't sweet enough for me. I wouldn't order this latte again, but maybe y'all would enjoy the flavor better. The restaurant has outdoor seating with heating lamps and welcomes well behaved dogs in their outdoor patio.

The lot was quite busy around lunchtime, and I ended up parking nearby. The area is built on a fairly steep hillside, so there is some walking on a significant incline. It wasn't a major issue for me, but it could be inconvenient for anyone with mobility, knee, or walking limitations. Overall, I'd still go back. While my initial impression was probably closer to a 3.5/5, the beautiful setting and reports of improved service make it a solid 4/5 and worth another visit.
