    Grilled Asparagus, bread, lobster Butter Poached Lobster  Mashed Potatoes
    Arwen L.

    Eddie V's is genuinely the place to celebrate anything special. This place is located at the top of La Jolla Shores, so the view of the ocean is breathtaking! The service here is impeccable, and Max is genuinely one of the best! He made my graduation dinner so special, and I will definitely be coming back here again. Max started us off with complimentary champagne. It was really good! The raspberry added a nice touch of color. For food, I would definitely recommend the seafood when coming here. The sides, such as the crab fried rice, lobster mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus are a must get! Super flavorful and filling. I recommend ordering an entree and having sides to share with everyone! I also got the lobster tacos which were amazing. Their tortillas are very special and Max will tell you why. I also got the crab stuffed shrimp which was very flavorful. I got the best of two worlds with this one dish. Max ended our night with their famous banana cake dessert (not sure what it's called) but it was sooo good and I will forever be craving it until I go back! This might be the best upscale restaurant in La Jolla (in my opinion)!

    Wow! What a top-notch dining experience with ocean view to boot! The service was exceptional and great care was taken from the moment we were seated to the time we left. We felt special and well cared for throughout our dining experience. I can see why our companions come here often. It's worth every penny! Additionally, the mixologist was outstanding crafting well-balanced cocktails for customers to enjoy. The food was expertly prepared using only the highest quality ingredients. Every bite melted in our mouths. It was a memorable culinary experience. We left feeling more than satisfied.

    Service was good as expected. Seafood tower was good. Just shrimps were a bit overcooked. Crab was marinated with a bit of oil, which I liked. Lobster was perfect. Oyster can be bigger but I guess it is a preference as well. Sole was nice.

    What a wonderful dining experience in La Jolla! Decided to make a reservation for this weekend to celebrate a wedding anniversary and was craving a steak and seafood restaurant to try out in the area rather than driving to Downtown San Diego or the Gas Lamp District. In making the reservation I had indicated that we would be celebrating our anniversary, and so it was nice that the servers and staff/manager made it a point to welcome us and congratulate us on that. We had a 6:30pm reservation and were seated pretty promptly. Only waited maybe 5-10 min before being shown to our table. This place is pretty popular and had several large groups celebrating all sorts of things this evening. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining, and just beautiful views of the water from almost every table. We composed our meal for the evening as such: 1. Starters: half dozen oysters and beet/burrata salad 2. Mains: ordered the rib eye and "surf & turf" filet and lobster tails 3. Sides: au gratin cheesy potatoes, asparagus, and Brussel sprouts. 4. Dessert: complimentary butter cake bananas foster, and we added the crème brûlée. Overall impressions of the food: excellently prepared to our liking. The steaks were cooked to our desired temperature requests (mine was medium rare, while my wife's was medium). Solid tasting and high quality beef. I finished my 22oz rib eye and even my wife's portion of filet mignon that she couldn't finish. Asparagus was grilled to perfection and had a nice crunch still. The brussel sprouts were good too. The au gratin potato was heavy but that's expected when ordering that style. Maybe too cheesy! I wish their menu offered a baked potato option that was just plain or straight forward and not the $80 over the top kind which comes with caviar. I should have just asked if they'd make me a plain baked potato! Great value and beautiful location! Amazing service and friendly, attentive staff! I can see why there are so many regulars who keep coming back!

    I've always had a good experience at Eddie Vs but tonight was by far the best. My best friend and I were both celebrating our birthdays and our waiter was just absolutely the best! I feel bad as I forgot to check the check for her name but she was working at the bar tonight during happy hour and she was beyond stellar. The whole Eddie Vs crew from the from hostess stand to our food delivery, was honestly just wonderful. Made our night feel very special. Our food overall was super good and cocktails were 10/10. Only small note is that we ordered our filet mignon medium and it definitely came out more on the medium well to well done side but the flavor and texture made up for it for sure! Au gratin potatoes side was *chefs kiss*. We were so kindly gifted a banana foster dessert for our birthday and omg, Devine is an understatement. Happy Hour here is awesome. Views when sitting outdoors are also lovely. Parking is street parking or valet.

    Great spot. Blessed

    For our anniversary dinner the other night we ended at Eddie V's. It was the perfect choice, a very class act great food and truly some of the best service I've ever had by a fellow name, John. He became like a friend at dinner and that made the night exceptional. The same as how the restaurant took care of us with rose petals on the table and a dessert that was fabulous. Wine list to die for food for every type of person really nice experience. Can't wait to go back.

    Eddie V's always hits the spot on service, ambiance and of course the food. The view is just a bonus! Went during lunch and parking is always a hassle in La jolla and there is a smell for outside seating so just be aware. Overall, had a great experience (:

    Eddie V's! One word...AHMAZZZZING!! First and foremost...you must make a reservation for a table upstairs! The view is phenomenal! The set up is great! They have heaters if it's chilly! We had a party of 14, and the staff did an amazing job of taking care of us! We never wanted for anything! Jeremiah was super attentive and amazing at remembering what everyone was drinking!, The food...chef's kiss! I wish I had taken more pictures of the food, but I was in the moment! For appetizers, we had shrimp, crab cakes, and oysters! I personally had the Goat Cheese Salad and the Sea Bass. The sides we shared were asparagus, Brussel Sprouts, Crab Fried Rice, Truffle Mac and Scalloped Potatoes! It was all fresh and delicious!! When in the San Diego/La Jolla area, you must go to Eddie V's!

    02/03/26 Amber, our waitress, paid attention to detail. She checked in on us often and had a quick chat with us. At the end of the meal, she brought hot lemon scented towels for us to clean our hands. That was a nice touch! Amber's friendly demeanor made our dining experience here more pleasant! Ordered: -22 oz Ribeye $79- melt in your mouth, so tender! -Lamb Chops $69- yummy delicious! -Burrata & Beet Salad $18- refreshing! -Filet Tartare $26- my husband enjoyed it. -Truffle Mac $19- loved the truffle. -Lobster Bisque $19- creamy delicious, the best I had! -Lobster Tacos $29- tasty lobster. -Au Gratin Potatoes $17- very rich. Drinks: -24 karat $18- pleasant color with appealing presentation. -With Love Eddie $19- citrusy and smooth, served with a sweet note, loved it!

    We came here to celebrate Valentine's Day and were immediately impressed. Upon arrival, we were first greeted outdoors by the hostess and then by Ben, who welcomed us warmly. He offered the ladies a rose along with a chance to win a gift card to Eddie V's. Sadly, my partner didn't win, but it was a fun touch. We were also offered complimentary champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, which was a really nice gesture and set the tone for the evening. We were then escorted to our table, which had a beautiful ocean view, something my partner absolutely loved, since she's a big ocean person. Bonus points there. Shortly after, we were greeted by our waitress, Phoebe. She was fantastic throughout the night, helpful with wine recommendations, attentive without being overbearing, and consistently checking in on us. We truly appreciated her service, and she even stepped in as our photographer for the night. For food, we started with the crispy rice with tuna as our appetizer, followed by the salmon and filet mignon for our entrees. Everything was excellent, flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Shoutout to Odin as well for delivering our food, he was polite and professional. All in all, it was a wonderful Valentine's Day outing, and the Eddie V's team really made the night special.

    My favorite place to celebrate special occasions in San Diego! This is the place to go when you want a guaranteed great experience. The environment is classy, the views are impeccable, the food is to die for and the staff is excellent. I've been here for birthdays and Valentine's Day, and each visit has been nothing short of excellent. Looking forward to returning once again soon!

    Our waitress was attentive and friendly despite it being completely booked. We had a great view of La Jolla from the inside. We ordered the sashimi, Chilean sea bass, 12oz wagyu strip, scallops and au gratin potatoes. Our waitress asked kitchen to make all the mains shareable. I loved everything especially the steak and broth that the sea bass was steamed in. The au gratin potatoes were a delicious side. The steak was tender and seasoned perfectly to my liking. For desert we had to try the banana foster and it was absolutely delicious. Even my husband who hates sweets enjoyed a couple bites.

    We had a very special experience at this restaurant! We were able to make a reservation the day before on a Wednesday, although times were very limited as everything from after 5:30 to 7:45 were taken. Upon arrival we were asked about any special occasions, which we had communicated upon making a reservation. They had notes in the system as well which were communicated to the waitress. We wanted to do a gender reveal through a surprise dessert - the restaurant was more than happy to accommodate and the manager even came by to let us know they were happy to make the reveal special for us. The restaurant has beautiful large windows showcasing the ocean and cliffs. Most all tables in the restaurant have a great view of the ocean. For appetizer we shared the Calamari - I really appreciated that it was a unique twist on such a popular dish being that it had an Asian flair with cashews and other sauce on it. Bread and butter is served at the table as well. For dinner I ordered the prawns which were crab stuffed. It was akin to a mini crab cake on top of a prawn- so good! My husband got a steak that he really enjoyed, with prawns added as an accompaniment. The grand finale was the dessert which was an amazing gender reveal! There was a platter with several mini desserts that said Congratulations and a separate plate that has the gender written in chocolate and covered in powdered sugar. The waitress put a flame to the plate to reveal the gender - it was so unique and special! We can't thank the restaurant enough for putting on this memorable experience for us!

The ravioli was the standout of the night, thin pasta with just enough filling for a delightful bite. The bucatini all'amatriciana wasn't quite what I'm accustomed to, the guanciale was ground rather than diced, and the sauce leaned more toward a meat sauce with an oily finish, not really my style, though the pasta itself was cooked well al dente. The steak, on the other hand, was excellent. Cocktails were great, and the staff were attentive throughout. For dessert, the trio was a nice way to sample a few things, though I wish they offered smaller sampler portions instead of full-size pieces. The Basque cheesecake was excellent and the semifreddo was perfect with a nice crust. The chocolate torte was good but couldn't compete with the other two.

We called an hour ahead to reserve a table and luckily they had availability. We ordered the crudo and octopus as appetizers. The crudo was served with fresh tuna topped with a sweet melon sauce (not to my liking, but still appreciated). The octopus was delicious. For our entrees, we ordered the pistachio pesto pizza, raviolli, and beef ziti. The pizza was my favorite (i love anything pistachio) especially enjoyed the pistachio pesto. I appreciate the thin dough of raviolli and the ziti was good. Overall food was good. Our server's name was Kevin, he was friendly and gave great service.

This one is long overdue--not that they need my review, because by now everyone already knows how amazing this place is. What keeps me coming back is the combination of great music, an energetic vibe, outstanding service, and some of the most creative cocktails you'll find anywhere. Tonight was girls' night out, so we decided to order the prettier, and sweeter cocktails. But don't let the sweet flavors fool you--they are definitely generous with the alcohol. These drinks may taste dangerously easy to sip, but they pack a punch! I don't even remember the names of the cocktails we ordered, but honestly, that doesn't matter because the menu changes so often. And that's one of the things I love most about Music Bar. Every visit brings something new, fresh, and exciting to try. Both of my drinks were absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. I honestly don't know how the bartenders come up with these combinations, but kudos to the team for constantly pushing their creativity while still making every cocktail incredibly well balanced. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, Music Bar never disappoints. I'll definitely keep coming back to see what new creations they come up with next.

The Lot is very unique in that they not only serve as a movie theater, but have a full-service dinner and bar area as well. Adjoining ASA Bakery is also on-site, serving creative, too-pretty-to-eat pastries and matcha drinks. Honestly, the $24 price tag for a movie experience might seem steep, but other movies theaters are in and around that price anyways. At The Lot, at least you're getting comfortable, plush seats, a seemingly private viewing experience with your partner in your recline-ready love seat, food and drink wait service at your seat (if you desire it), and superb picture with okay enough sound. On that note, some cons: -We recently watched The Odyssey and some of the scenes were blaringly LOUD to the point where my ears felt like they could bleed. They do not divulge their sound system either, only that it's "high-end". The sound could definitely use better balance. -Mentioned love seats are very apparent upon booking now, making selection easy with no confusion. The theaters do cater to them so if you're in a group, you'll feel far from them. -Try as we might to pay in person, we could not avoid the service fee applied to all sales. Service fees are my biggest gripe, enough to teeter this rating. The atmosphere though is rather spectacular, so some things are to be ignored. -No true matinee prices unless you're a member. $20-22, otherwise, on Wednesday's for non-members.

    I really enjoy the experience of The Lot, but between this location and the one on Liberty Station,…read morethe service always leaves something to be desired. Each visit (three separate occasions), something I've ordered was either forgotten or brought out very late. On this particular visit (Fri, July 3rd), I went to see a movie for my birthday. Unfortunately, due to public transportation, I was unable to make it to the theater as early as I wanted. My movie started @ 1:30, but I didn't make it inside until about 1:40 or so. The trailers were still playing, but the lights were off inside and the other guests seemed to already have their food/drinks. So, I attribute some of the mishap to that. However, there were less than ten people in the theater. So, keep that in mind as well. I ordered poke nachos, a popcorn, and a soda. Pretty simple order, right? My "host" brought out the popcorn + drink pretty swiftly. The popcorn tasted stale, just like another time I'd visited. Even though I'm pretty sure their 1:30 movies are their first showing. About halfway through the movie, I pressed the call button because I still hadn't received my nachos. The host said, "They might be ready now. Let me check." Translation: "I forgot them." That was pretty annoying. Especially as this is the third time something like this has occurred at The Lot. And I've only been three times in total. Luckily, the popcorn was free because it was my birthday, which I had to remind the host twice before he tried charging me. Do not order it unless you enjoy stale popcorn. The nachos and ginger ale were tasty, though. Overall, the vibe/setup is nice for viewing films. I only which the service and attention to detail was better.

    After enjoying Nine-Ten for over 15 years and close to 100 visits, it has been a pleasure to…read morerediscover it once again. After a stretch of time, particularly during the COVID period, when dining out was limited, returning has been especially rewarding, including experiencing their breakfast and lunch offerings. The service remains excellent, and both the coffee and dishes stand out. The pancakes and short rib panini, in particular, feel like signature items well worth trying. On weekends, when nearby cafés are often crowded, this place feels like a hidden gem. There are no long lines, yet the quality is easily on par with, and often exceeds, more popular spots. You continue to deliver consistently, and I always look forward to coming back.

    We came here last night to try the award-winning Nine Ten Restaurant, and had been really looking…read moreforward to experiencing the ambiance of this Michelin-recognized spot. We made our 6 PM reservation well in advance and were promptly greeted and seated by the hostess in a cozy, romantic spot--perfect for me and my hubby. The presentation throughout the meal was beautiful. The ambiance was relaxed and casual, though the décor felt a bit loud and slightly outdated. To start, my husband enjoyed their homemade sourdough bread with whipped butter, and they thoughtfully provided a gluten-free bread option for me--which was absolutely amazing. We also shared the hamachi sashimi appetizer. While the presentation was exquisite, the sauce it was served with was a bit overpowering for our taste, as we're more accustomed to sashimi without added sauces. For our entrées, my husband had the ribeye and I ordered the lamb. Both dishes were outstanding--cooked to perfection, incredibly tender, and easy on the palate. We couldn't even finish our meals, but they tasted just as delicious the next day. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place.
