Lucas & Steven at the bar were truly exceptional. As a party of 1 being served by a team of 2, they had the perfect balance of checking in & leaving me alone The only thing holding back a 5 star review was the catch of the day, which was underseasoned in my opinion. Not a spec of salt and/or pepper to be seen. The sauces were amazing, but did not make up for the basic preparation of a bland piece of fish, albeit fresh and portioned generously. Will certainly be back for a date night, but will ensure to communicate my expectation for seasoning to awaken the taste buds read more

La Jolla - Lamb Chops - New American Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Surprising good restaurant in a strip mall in Montgomery, AL. We ordered the lamb chops as appetizer and it was perfectly cooked. The medium rare 8oz filet mignon is a teeny bit undercooked, but was delicious nonetheless. The best part of this whole meal was the bread and butter. Warm, hot, toasty bread with crack butter. read more

On a recent trip to Montgomery, I had to find the best food there! La Jolla did not disappoint. With every seat in the place taken, I ended up at the bar and was immediately greeted by the bartender who was friendly yet professional. His demeanor and care during the entire dinner truly added to my experience. I ordered the pan seared snapper with risotto, and the risotto was the STAR of this dish. The risotto was cooked perfectly and the flavor was just as it should be, the snapper complimented this dish so well and the portion was perfect. With a dimly lit ambience paired with a nice glass of bourbon, it was the perfect ending to an amazing visit to Montgomery. read more

It's been quite a while since I have dined at La Jolla, but we recently met some friends there for dinner. Immediately when I walked in, I thought, "This place is really nice, why don't we come here all the time". The interior is fashionable and welcoming. The wait staff was top notch and the food was very well prepared and extremely good. The entire experience was amongst the best I've had in any restaurant in Montgomery. The menu had a nice variety of fresh seafood and steaks, salads and pastas as well. They take reservations, which is a real plus. We enjoyed La Jolla, and I'm quite sure we will be back soon and often. read more

Solid place! Service is good and homey. We had the ribeye to share for two and the chili crunch broccoli. Pretty sure they added Lao Gan Ma to the broccoli, but I liked it! Was nice and crispy. The sweet corn risotto was okay, lacking in a bit of flavor and bite. The ribeye was cooked well. The complimentary bread is also pretty good - nice and warm. The lobster bisque was delicious, possibly my favorite dish. Ended it with the peach cobbler, which was also fresh and a perfect end to the meal with some vanilla ice cream on the side. read more

Still serving quality food and good service for years. Consistently is the mark of a quality restaurant.

From start to finish, this was an amazing experience! Everyone we met who was part of the waitstaff were outstanding! We had begun with Mallory as our server, but Michael ended up taking over and he was amazing. So attentive, kind, friendly and knowledgeable! This place has some of the best service I've ever experienced, and I speak from personal experience as a waitress. The food was soooo good to top it all off! My dad had the 12oz pork chop with the miso green beans, my husband and I had the 22oz ribeye for two with a side of the summer sucotash and the miso green beans. The sauces we got were the black garlic truffle butter and the creole brown butter, and some sort of chimmichurri. Our server included the creole brown butter even though we didn't ask for it, just so we could try it. We also got the lamb chops and lobster bisque to start. They were also amazing! Can't recommend this place enough. You must try it! Everything was delicious. Make sure you ask for Michael! He is the best. read more

Chill vibes and great food! Love the tuna nachos, scallops, and shrimp. Cocktail menu is a bit mid but literally never had a bad meal there!

Wonderful food. Friendly service. Hope to be back again soon. Great to find a non-chain restaurant in Montgomery.

Food excellent and good variety. Service even better. Call early for reservations. Peach cobbler is excellent and plenty for two.

Discovering this gem on the last night of my work trip was perfect. My waiter helped me decide between so many amazing choices. read more

La Jolla is a Montgomery staple, I first ate here at the original location at the Shoppes At Eastchase. Love the new La Jolla's more intimate space. This visit we shared the tuna nachos and chicken skins appetizers. I ordered the salmon piccata and my husband ordered the limited edition burger. The burger changes every week, this one had elk, duck, and bison mixed together. We both were quite satisfied. My favorite was the Szechuan chicken skins, they came with a cornbread pancake and collard greens. Spicy, crunchy, and sweet it was a flavor journey. I actually would have been happy to order two of those and call it a night. Don't even bother worrying about the calories with that dish. I was sad they didn't have the chocolate bread pudding this time. read more

I went there with my wife and two friends. We had the fillet mignon and the scallops. To say that they exceeded my expectations was an understatement. The fillet mignon was the best one that I have had in Montgomery. Our guest were the ones that introduced us to this amazing food so they affirmed their amazing review. We will be back. read more

Great atmosphere. Small restaurant. Good wait staff. The tuna nachos were good. The grouper pan seared over a Parmesan risotto was bland to me. I would have replaced the risotto with grilled or steamed veggies. The banana Foster's cheesecake was yummy for dessert. Dinner for two, two glasses of wine, and splitting an appetizer and dessert will cost around $140 with tip. You'll get a kiss afterwards. ;) read more

This restaurant deserves to be mentioned in the top 5 best restaurants in Montgomery. Everything was excellent in our dinner for 4 today: my husband's ribeye steak was mouthwatering and tender, the black garlic-truffle butter added an additional flavor to this masterpiece. My red snapper was seared to perfection keeping its flaky and juicy texture and was well complimented by creamy lemon and asparagus risotto with marinated cherry tomatoes. My son admitted that his ground beef, duck and elk burger was the most original and tasteful that he ever tasted and he loved his white cheddar macaroni. His girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed her farmer's salad. The key lime cheesecake and the triple chocolate brownies were absolutely delicious. The service was great. Bravo "La Jolla"! We will be back! read more

Always Great Food and Excellent Service! Be sure and get a reservation! Best place in Montgomery!

Great food, and great service. They are always top notch. Definitely a nice place to dine at if you're looking for a nice restaurant.

PORK CHOP. Go for the pork chop. Say hello to the lamb appetizer, order the lobster bisque, and then dig into the pork chop with the creole brown butter. I don't like pork chops, and this is the only thing I will order at La Jolla! We have tried most of the other entrees, and nothing compares to this pork chop. If I was on the food network for "best thing I ever ate", this pork chop and brown butter would be easily in the top 5. Now La Jolla- I will delete this post if you raise the price of the pork chop due to popularity!! But seriously, get a reservation to La Jolla. The food is exceptional. read more

Met some friends here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed myself! While it's located in a trendy strip mall, it is very classy inside with plenty of room for dining. I enjoyed a beer at the bar while I waited for my friends to arrive. For dinner, I ordered the Smoked Duck Fettuccini and lapped it up like a puppy - it was delicious, savory, and beyond flavorful. The service was excellent....simply EXCELLENT! I highly recommend this place for an engagement or anniversary dinner, or any other "classy" occasion. read more

The first time I tried to try out La Jolla, I realized reservations are a must. I only visit Montgomery every other weekend. I wish there were some sort of way to make reservations other than by phone due to their limited hours. I contacted them through Yelp, and they arranged dinner for me. Just FYI to those that would like to plan before the restaurant actually opens! The environment is nice and quaint. There were no empty tables... I could barely hear the conversation I was having with my boyfriend throughout dinner. This is not an intimate space, expect it to be loud. My waiter was very attentive (literally brought us bread 3 times), and he was knowledgeable about the menu/drink selections. 10/10 on the service. I enjoyed the red snapper, which came with dirty rice and a crawfish sauce. I REALLY enjoyed it and I would order it again. They cook it slowly in a green egg, which I believe it gives the fish a lot of flavor. More so, I drank the cranberry mimosa to wash down my meal. It was light and not too sweet. My boyfriend ordered the burger, which lacked vegetables... neither one of us were impressed other than the unique taste of the meat within the burger. Ketchup was provided on the side. It would have been nice to see a piece of lettuce on the side or an addition of onions. The food overall was good. I would come here again. Sorry for the lack up photos, pictured is my dish and the cranberry mimosa! read more

My husband and I went to La Jolla last week for a late anniversary dinner and were blown away by the food! The atmosphere, plates and service were all amazing and we left very full and wanting to come back! Just a heads up: we did call and make a reservation for 8pm on a Tuesday and were still seated a little late (not an issue for us because we were not in a rush) because it was so busy! Reservations are a must, even on slower nights of the week. read more

Not as great as advertised. Wife tried the shepherds pie and said what we make at home is way better. Her words. I tried their burger - waiter said best ($16) burger you'll EVER eat. I ordered it medium and got it medium well to well done. No pink. We made reservations months ago and seated in the worse seats possible in the aisle of the restaurant. Won't be back - HUGELY DISAPPOINTED - WASTE OF MONEY - WASTE OF TIME. Service great- Steve I think. read more

This was my first visit and it was such an amazing one. The server David was so pleasant, helpful and provided me with impeccable service. David made the best suggestions and I'm overly impressed.
