Came here for breakfast the week of my stay at the hotel and also dinner one night. I tried a variety of items and everything was high quality, well-presented and delicious. The view is hard to beat, looking over the coast and ocean for every meal. Laila helped me for breakfast every morning and was always smiling, attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back here in my next visit to San Diego to see her again! read more

Eddie is THE BEST. Amazing service and so friendly. He made this whole experience so much better we came for the view and food, but ended up talking and laughing. He is truly a delight. Eddie, our server, was very kind and friendly. The service was amazing. We love the view- but the service makes it extra special. I would for sure recommend it, I would certainly come back again. If you are coming for dinner come early so you can get a good seat to see the sunset and the food is good read more

We came for the view and the food. There are lots of clean eating options! Our server, Laila, was the reason to stay! She's friendly and is a topnotch experienced professional! I lingered and she was attentive to refilling my ice tea throughout. Someone at our table was in a hurry and she rushed our food order and brought his check early without his asking so he could get to work on time. read more

Their happy hour is so amazing! From 3-5pm and drinks are fabulous and food is amazing. Laila helped me with order the food and she helped me take these lovely photos, what a view on the 11th floor! She was the best server I've met! read more

Sea & Sky Restaurant is on the 11th floor inside the Hotel La Jolla. Parking is validated. It was over a year ago since my last visit. Last week, I had a late lunch meeting. Was greeted and seated by the male staffer, who was apparently also the bartender and waiter. The kitchen and kitchen staff of 2 were visible from my booth seat. An older female staffer set my utensils and stemware. I asked her a question about the restaurant, and her immediate grumpy reply was, ' I'm off the clock,' and so I had to brace myself for the service that follows... We ordered off the restaurant week and the happy hour menus: Chardonnays, oysters, truffle fries, crudité hummus and salmon salad for me. The food too longer than expected, I had to constantly ask the waiter. He was apologetic, saying the main chef quit recently and the kitchen staff were new...ugh! The food was presented and tasted good but not memorable. The oysters I had last year had better mignonette and this time none. The salmon salad took forever and when it finally appeared, the taste was subpar for the anticipation, presentation was lackluster but nonetheless edible. Kitchen staff lacked creative presentation of dishes. The restaurant is stylish and I noticed the continuation of the Leaf decor from the garden entry, main lobby and here on the ceiling lighting. The draw here is the view of La Jolla and the ocean, from a distant but still makes for nice ambiance. Additionally, this is a business appropriate place for business meetings as there was hardly any diners. When happy hour started, I noticed people fill the bar and lounge area. If you're looking for a quiet restaurant setting for a private business meeting, this is an amazing place. The food is satisfactory but the lack service staffing slows service which might be ok if you're not in a rush. Recommend read more

We ate here twice during our stay. The staff was great. Laila was friendly and efficient. Dinner menu wasn't great, but we enjoyed the bar menu. Breakfast was very good. read more

I dined at Sea & Sky Restaurant and left questioning how the happy hour menu could be this poorly executed. The view is beautiful, and the service was attentive and professional. The food, however, fell far short. The burger was overly sweet, the oyster with strawberry sauce was a mismatch that didn't make sense, and the fish taco was dry. The Brussels sprouts were overcooked, and the chips tasted like they came straight out of a bag. For the price, this was some of the worst food I've had in months. It felt like paying restaurant prices for something worse than groceries at home. read more

I have to start off my review by clarifying that I am from La Jolla and grew up here so I really have been to all of the restaurants in town over the decades and have been to this restaurant many times, both before the remodel and after. My last time was 2.5 years ago and we decided to stop in last night for an early Christmas week dinner. The hotel itself needs a lot of work and is far from somewhere that I would stay, but this restaurant location is honestly unbeatable, especially if you go during sunset or daytime because the views are really the best part. The food and the service is also pretty good, but honestly the best part of this place will be the view and it being in a sleepier part of La Jolla with easy parking. It's located on the top floor of the La Jolla Hotel and there is self parking available on site. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered had a bit of a delay this past evening, but that maybe is to be expected during Christmas week and potentially shorter staffed. The menu here is actually very small, it's much smaller than it was 2 years ago when I visited, but they do have some good options on it. I started off the meal with a Baby Beats Salad and this one was better than it was two years ago. This version had a lot more beats and more flavor to it so it was definitely improved from the last time I had it. For my entrée, I chose the Rockfish because the Seabass was not available this time unfortunately. The Rockfish was actually surprisingly good and I would recommend it. It had some very delicate flavors and was not overly fishy; in general I really enjoyed it. I finished the meal with a Caramel Macchiato and for $7.50 I was expecting more than just a single shot so I honestly felt that was not a fair option so I would not recommend that. Overall a nice meal in a sleepy part of La Jolla. The Village always gets most of the attention, but it's nice to dine over near The Shores even though I grew up near Windansea myself. Sea & Sky would be a great spot for a date and try to book it during sunset hours, you won't be disappointed. read more

We came up to the restaurant to use our food credit from our hotel stay, and wow--the view was absolutely breathtaking! I wish I had known about it sooner because we definitely would have dined here the night before. We were seated right away, but unfortunately, it took over 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Other tables around us were seated after us and managed to place their orders before we did, which was frustrating. That said, the food made up for it. Breakfast was delicious, and sipping coffee while taking in the stunning view was the perfect way to start the day. If the service had been quicker, it would have been an all-around perfect experience! read more

The two of us arrived on a quiet Sunday, April 19. We've been to this venue many times, and the view, the ladies room,, interior design of the dining area, and cleanliness were excellent. Unfortunately, the food was lower than expected. He ordered a Caesar salad with salmon for dinner. It was delicious. I ordered rock fish with vegetables. It was disappointing. Perhaps I overlooked the fact that it would be blackened and overcooked. It was presented floating in a broth, with very little flavor. I also noticed that the plate was cold for what should've been a hot dinner. There were three $10 sides offered on the menu: french fries, macaroni and cheese, and crispy Yukon potato. It was surprising since they were all carbohydrates. Not much of a selection. So we gave into the french fries which were ample, but nothing special. Oh, and by the way, I asked for a glass of French champagne and they brought Prosecco. Apparently they don't have any French champagne, just Prosecco and a bubbly rosé. The best part was the sunset. Don't come for the cuisine. read more

Lovely bar for the view alone! We timed to catch sunset before dinner and found a perfect spot belly up at bar. They have a decent happy hour selection of drinks and appetizers which are half of not close to that of regular priced items. Shishito peppers were good as were the fries and house red wine wasn't bad. Mixed drinks are the route to go and we both enjoyed our libations! The bartender was by himself and the place was packed so service was slow but not his fault. Hotel should really have another bartender available for these times. All in all a great evening and would return for sunset drinks again! read more

Where do I begin? This isn't your average hotel restaurant serving just hotel guests. This is a million-dollar, five-star dining experience with stunning views! It deserves to be a destination in itself, attracting visitors specifically for the food. From the ambiance, music, and jazz nights to the exceptional cuisine and staff, everything is top-notch. Make sure to ask for the complementary bread, to die for.. we ordered it twice. I wish Yelp allows me to upload more content to show everything we ordered and the ambience. Plus, you get validated parking! Enjoy a meal in La Jolla without the hassle of street parking--just luxurious convenience! This is my 3rd time at the place. Never disappoint! read more
