    Lunch menu

    I was in La Jolla for a little birthday getaway. I searched Yelp for recommendations and Nine-Ten caught my attention. We ordered Adobada Shrimp tacos and Jamaican Jerk Pork Belly entrees. My compliments to the chef on the sauces used for both dishes. 1. The Shrimp tacos were served on a thick and soft corn tortilla that had been seared with cheese that formed a nice crunchy bed to place the Shrimp on. An avocado sauce and salsa toppings were fabulous. I have eaten hundreds of shrimp tacos in my day, these were the best I EVER ate. 2. The Pork Belly had a nice spicy kick along with black-eyed peas, sweet potato puree, and carrots. The pork was perfectly seasoned that was nice and crispy outside and tender inside. The service was quick, the staff were attentive and checked on us throughout the meal, filling water glasses without being asked or prompted to do so. The restaurant is inside a hotel, nicely decorated for Christmas in the lobby entrance. We had a nice covered patio table, with a poolside view on a sunny day. I highly recommend bookmarking this restaurant for any occasion. Sincerely, Rosemary

    My boyfriend and I made a reservation here since we were staying at the hotel for our anniversary and it was one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip. We booked for the Mercy of the Chef prix-fixe menu as well as the wine pairing. Each dish we had was so flavorful and unique and it just kept getting better every time! Compliments to the chef, seriously haha. Also, the service was amazing and we felt really taken care of for our anniversary. Would love to return to try to rest of the menu next time. Cannot recommend enough.

    We are at 9:10 Prospect. This is such a beautiful part of La Jolla. They have a beautiful bar here and food starts at 5 PM. There is a view to the ocean. Service is on point

    Absolutely loved this restaurant! We came here since it was on the list of restaurants for Chase Sapphire Reserve on Open Table and I was honestly blown away. We shared sourdough bread, cacio e pepe, hamachi sashimi, pork belly, and scallops. This was more than enough for 2 of us and we were full even before the scallops came. Everything was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed all the dishes we got but my favorite were the hamachi sashimi (so fresh and a balanced citrus flavor!) and the cacio e pepe (really great flavor and texture). We didn't get to try dessert because we were so full but would love to next time. Service was really kind and attentive. Our server said he's worked at many high end restaurants but this one was top notch and I can totally see that from our experience with the food and service. This is a great spot to come to for a nice occasion and you can make reservations online with Open Table. Street parking only in La Jolla so make sure to buffer that in for timing.

    Came here for a date night with my wife on a Sunday evening after thanksgiving and we were fortunate to have a spot available an hour after deciding where to eat. Our server was very nice and attentive so kudos to the server! The scallops were very delicious and nice hint of citrus that was great. The hamachi was my favorite with a nice savory punch from the sauce smoothened out by the hamachi. The cacio y Pepe was an excellent dish for mushroom lovers and our waiter's suggestions to get the sourdough bread to dip into the sauce was on point. The bread was some of the best bread I've had both in texture and taste. We got the pork belly as well but I'm not as big of a fan of pork belly. The pieces had more fat than I'd like but that's pork belly! Definitely would come back to try other dishes.

    One of the more disappointing fine dining experiences in La Jolla. Came here for a group dinner for a meeting/talk on a weekday, so options were limited. We all started with the salad, which was by far the most uninspiring of the night. It was just chopped lettuce sprinkled with maybe some vinaigrette and called it a day. There's maybe a spinach leaf or two, but the variety of vegetables or texture or flavor is utterly lacking. For the main course I got a filet mignon, which was cooked decently. It came with mushrooms and potato slices along with a green puree that looked just like basil pesto but does not taste like it at all. It's a bit sweet, maybe with some kind of fruit, but it's not a bad contrast with the beef. Finally, the dessert was some kind of cake, it was soft and had ice cream on the side, but I think the cake is a bit too sweet for me.

    First time here Came here for a bday dinner. It's inside the Grand Colonial Hotel and offers cozy intimate dining with elevated service! Plan to come by around sunset so you can either dine on the patio or come out before going to get seated. Drinks, exceptionally made. Enjoyed all of our items: -Sourdough bread -Pork Belly -Gnocchi -Cod -Veggie main -Cheese plate Everything was amazingly executed and now I see why this place has the Michelin Distinction.

    The service was excellent. We were seated right away and our waiter greeted us within minutes. He took our wine order and our food order since we had planned ahead and knew what were going to order. The ambiance is ok, might be better if they dim the lights just a tad. Overall service and food were great. Hamachi is amazing and highly recommend. The duck was my favorite dish. It has a nice crust to it that was excellent. I would return again.

    My husband and I have been to Nine-Ten a few times for date nights as well as with our baby. We've really enjoyed our experiences each time and really appreciated them accommodating our baby as well. The outdoor patio is beautiful during sunset hour. The food is delicious - their duck breast is perfectly cooked and the Jamaican jerk pork belly is one of our favorites.

    Crispy muffins, smoky Canadian bacon, and silky poached eggs in lemony hollandaise. Each bite is rich, bright, and perfectly balanced.

    From the moment we stepped into Nine-Ten at the Colonial Hotel, we knew we were in for a special experience. The atmosphere is relaxed, open, and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a leisurely breakfast with friends or family. Everything on the menu is farm-to-table fresh, and it truly shows in every bite. Our group of five indulged in some of the standout offerings: Eggs Benedict - Perfectly poached eggs atop prosciutto cotto and a toasted English muffin, drizzled with velvety hollandaise and accompanied by herb-roasted potatoes. A classic done to perfection. This was my breakfast. Brûléed French Toast - My daughter could not stop raving about this. Topped with macerated berries, Chantilly cream, and a luscious crème anglaise, it had a delicate, caramelized crunch that made each bite irresistible. Simply divine. Short Rib Toast - According to my wife, this was her personal favorite. Tender short rib on a toasted base, topped with onion marmalade, truffled Mornay sauce, and a perfectly fried egg, served with a petite salad. Bold flavors beautifully balanced, every element executed flawlessly. Any of these dishes alone would impress, but together they make for an unforgettable breakfast experience, thankfully everyone was willing to share. While we didn't sample the fresh breakfast pastries, made in-house daily, we can only imagine how incredible they must be. Next time! Service was attentive and seamless, making the entire meal feel effortless and enjoyable. Nine-Ten delivers excellence from start to finish, and we cannot wait to return. This is breakfast done right, one thing that annoys me is when you see this on the menu, "To help cover increasing costs & support growing minimum wage a 5% surcharge will be added to all checks." I felt like this was already priced into the cost of the items, which were worth every penny, so my comment is not about being petty, just a simple eyeroll. This cost them a star, outside this it was an enthusiastic 5-stars.

    Potato Agnolotti

    Good food but because it is upscale, the portion sizes are small and for higher prices. You do have to make reservations considering how busy they are and their small size At dinner, I tried the Parker house rolls, the potato agnolotti and the half baked chocolate cake. The Parker house rolls (5 pieces) came out warm and were so soft. They're a little sweet on top and paired perfectly with the salted butter they give. They didn't come out with our food at first and when the waiter realized, he gave them to us on the house! The potato agnolotti comes with 5 small stuffed pasta pieces. The sauce is tasty, the green onion gives it a lot of flavor. The crispy mushrooms on top are meaty and add a good texture and flavor! The half baked cake is very runny so there isn't much substance to it. But the flavor is good. For breakfast the next morning, I tried the lemon blueberry pancakes, pavlova and some of the roasted potatoes. The roasted potatoes were so-so, they kind of tasted like they were seasoned with ramen packets and were still a little tough. The pavlova was good, but the meringue itself and cream were just a little too sweet. The tart strawberry compote that comes with it was good for balance! Lastly, the lemon blueberry pancakes (3) were very good! Great texture and size, lots of blueberries and the right amount of lemon to balance it. They were very good with metered butter and syrup on top!

    We had an AMAZING experience at Nine-Ten. We had a wonderful business lunch with Daisy, the Senior Catering Sales Manager, and she could not have been more gracious and welcoming. We tried the house-made Parker rolls. I could have eaten the whole basket!! We also had the hamachi sashimi and the Jamaican jerk pork belly. Highly recommend both! The sashimi was so fresh and the pork belly was full of flavor! For lunch, I had the salmon. Others in my party had the Spanish octopus. Highly recommend. At the end of the meal, we met Chef Jason. Such a nice guy. We had such a great experience and we can't wait to return! Thank you!!

    Jamaican Jerk Pork Belly
    Natalie N.

    We came here for a date night and had a great time. The vibe was relaxed, not too loud or busy which made it easy to actually talk and enjoy the night. Our server was friendly and helpful, and he recommended a lot of dishes that we ended up loving. We started with the Jamaican jerk pork belly and the Agnolotti pasta, both were really good. For entrees, we went with the Grilled Jerk Chicken and the Smoked Duck Breast. The flavors were bold and balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a solid dinner spot in La Jolla. I'll definitely be back for the amazing food!

The grounds were spotless, the landscaping and different spaces were so pretty that we needed very little additional decor, and our guests had a great time. We were also able to schedule unlimited walkthroughs leading up to the wedding, which was really helpful, and there were no issues with setup, teardown, or getting our security deposit back. Communication with Carly, the venue coordinator, was always quick and professional through the venue's portal. She sent reminders about vendor COIs and other important information, which helped keep us on track leading up to the wedding. My biggest advice to other couples would be to read the contract in full and make sure you are comfortable with the venue's rules before booking. Given that it is a historic site, the rules are extremely specific and there is very little flexibility, so you have to be willing to get creative within their guidelines. In our experience, if we asked for an exception to a rule, the answer was no. The biggest challenge for us was the lack of a built-in rain plan at the venue level. There was no flexibility to use indoor spaces in case of inclement weather, so we had to spend a pretty significant amount on a tent to ensure the day would go smoothly. That said, Carly was helpful in guiding us toward vendors and coordinating with another couple so we could split the tent cost, which we really appreciated. Overall, Darlington House is a gorgeous venue, and the actual wedding day went smoothly; we loved it. If you love the vibe and are prepared to work within the rules, it can be a beautiful place to get married! Photo: @byalexaleigh Planner/Florals: @franceslovesfrancis Tent/Disco: @eventpartyrentals

The wedding and reception ran timely and smoothly. The buffet dinner offered a variety of options and everything was tasty! There were plenty of seats and tables to ensure every guest had a place to hang out before and after the formal dinner. Heat lamps and tabletop fire pits were set up throughout the venue in the evening. What I did notice was how great and attentive the staff were in every aspect - at the bar, passing hors d'oeuvres, buffet dinner, photobooth. I really appreciated a female staff member notice who wasn't drinking alcohol and provided apple cider so they can participate in toasts! A staff member was also stationed by the main entrance which I'd assume is to prevent party crashers and ensure guests aren't walking out with alcohol (they thought my water was alcohol). The only downside of this gorgeous venue is the parking situation. We parked in a paid parking garage at the Morgan Stanley building for $25. It is a 0.2 mile walk to the venue.

It was exhausting but my experience with Full Moon Bridal exceeded all the other stores. Her store was well stocked and I was on a time crunch since my wedding was just three months away since we decided to do a wedding venue after all. The dresses were well organized as I wanted something simple and elegant. When I went to Full Moon Bridal it was more of a personal experience unlike other stores. You had the whole store to yourself and friends if you chose to bring them. She was so helpful with helping me try on the dresses and I got to pick quite a few to try on versus being limited like other stores. I went to about 4 or 5 stores after hers and I knew the dress I tried on at her store was the one and went back. It was also in my price range! I had it altered with her and the dress fit perfectly and the length was spot on. I highly recommend going to Full Moon Bridal. Yanna is the best and my dress was perfect!!! I felt so beautiful and my husband and wedding guests loved it. Thank you so much Yanna. I highly recommend her bridal store to everyone!!

    We were trying to find somewhere special for Mother's Day and decided on Italian since our family…read morespends quite a bit of time in Italy every year. Somehow, this ended up being one of the best Italian meals we've ever had -- including overseas. This was our first time here, and everything exceeded expectations. The restaurant is family owned by the chef, his wife, and their sons, and you can truly feel the passion and hospitality the moment you walk in. They came by to introduce themselves, which made the whole evening feel so personal and welcoming. The ricotta and spinach ravioli was unbelievable -- honestly one of the best pasta dishes any of us have had. The branzino was equally impressive, and that says a lot considering how much seafood we eat while traveling through coastal Italy each year. You can absolutely taste the quality of the ingredients. The owner mentioned they import their flour directly from Italy, and it definitely shows in the food. I only wish this restaurant was closer to home because I'd be here constantly. Such an incredible little spot in La Jolla.

    Food: Fresh local ingredients. The taste of fresh tomatoes and fresh seafood. Food came out…read morequickly and well timed to enjoy company we were with. Yummy cocktails too. Service: fabulous wait staff. Greeted as soon as we arrived on the steps, recommendations were provided when asked. Only slight misstep is our wait staff went MIA at the end of the night. Ambiance: reminds me of a quaint ristorante you would find tucked away from the Main Street tourist spots. Unique pathway of tucked away hidden seating area. Fresh greenery for decoration. Asked to be seated on the patio overlooking the front if possible.

    Review of La Valencia Hotel…read more I purchased a day pass here as someone who works in the hospitality industry and is always curious to experience new properties from a guest perspective--and La Valencia absolutely delivered. I arrived pretty early in the morning (optimistically expecting sunshine), but even with the typical coastal overcast, it didn't take away from the experience at all. In fact, I somehow ended up with the pool almost entirely to myself--in the middle of August, which felt like a hidden luxury. The setting is just beautiful. The views, the calm atmosphere, and the overall sense of escape made it easy to settle in and relax. I spent about five hours there and never felt rushed or overlooked. The staff, especially at the cabana bar, were fantastic--attentive, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to interact with. I ordered food and drinks throughout the day, and everything added to the ease and enjoyment of the experience. The only small downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky--but that's pretty standard for La Jolla. Overall, this was an incredible day experience and absolutely worth it. I'd do it again without hesitation.

    Multiple social media searches told me this was the place to stay in La Jolla, so despite the…read moreexpense I decided to book a room for one night, my first night after flying into San Diego. I paid $500 for the room, arrived around 10 pm and had to check out by 11am, quick $500! There was a $45 resort fee, whatever that means. Still would love to know what that was for. Anyways, the bellhop guys were nice they gave me recommendations for where to eat and also helped carry my suitcase up to my room. The bedroom was small, really small and the view was of a back lot with dumpsters and the side of a building. Sure, the room was hip and funky and cool. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but functional. Listen the room was fine, but for $500...and this was a heavily discounted room because I booked through Hotel Tonight. Anyways, I walked the hotel at night and it was nice because I had the place to myself, the pool is really pretty at night, it's lit up, I recommend walking outside and having a seat on their comfy couches above the pool. In the morning I continued exploring the hotel and when I went to check out the dining room I was receiving unfriendly glances from the hostess or whoever she was. So much so that I stopped and asked if it was okay that I was looking around, to which she replied, "Well are you eating?" I said no and that I was staying here and just wanted to check out the view. I am a pretty average looking chick, was in work out clothes, maybe I didn't fit the high end clientele look and it seemed to bother her. Anyways, the people at the front desk upon check out weren't the friendliest either, seemed annoyed when I asked if they had change for the bellhop. The man at the concierge desk who I believe has a job of making sure everyone in the hotel is happy and having a grand time didn't even acknowledge. me the four or five times I walked past his desk. I felt unwelcome to be honest.

    Went to the Marine Room for my 25th birthday and had such a good time. They made me feel so special…read moreby customizing the menus, giving us window seating, and even bringing out a special cake with a nice birthday message. The food was amazing and so was our service! I think our servers name was Stephen but I'm not too sure. He had a nose ring! I hope he sees this and knows how thankful I am for the wonderful experience I had. Ambiance was amazing 10/10! :)

    First off, this restaurant has one of the amazing location and views, right near the ocean waves…read more This alone makes it a spot to check out, but more on this later ;). The restaurant has a little higher end feeling to it so dressing nice is recommended. You enter at the top of the restaurant and move downstairs to the dining area being at beach level. The ideal tables are closest to the windows where you can have the view outwards. The food here was American style, with the veggie sides being delicious. The Australian wagyu was cooked beautifully and delicious, coming with same veggie and potatoes side. Also had the truffle risotto that was made yummyly!! Overall the food was good! The service here was great from start to finish. They really made us feel like special guest and that goes along way for the vibes. We truly appreciate our service we got here and a big reason why we would come back! Again, the view alone is enough to make this restaurant stand out, but there are times which the restaurant can be epic. That is during either sunset or high tide, something I didn't get to experience and will have to come back to see!
