Best Historic Restaurants in Mira Mesa

Wonderful dining experience. Great food and service and truly beautiful ambiance. The space and vibe is special.

The best French dinner I had in years, great service lovely place

Great view of La Jolla Cove and seals, good food, interesting menu, casual but fun atmosphere, excellent and friendly service. Great place to take out-of-town guests. Highly recommend.

Man, I noticed a few bad reviews for this place but we totally disagree. This is a cool, smaller restaurant attached to the Hotel Valencia. It has a nice u-shaped bar with what seemed to be mostly locals hanging out talking with the staff. Upscale vibe but not "stuffy" La Jolla vibe. The cocktails were amazing and fairly creative. We also thought the food was excellent, contrary to what a few other folks have said. The braised short rib Mao, crispy pumpkin squash, and twinkie ceaser were the standouts. Only minor downsides were that you can smell the seals a little bit and it was a bit chilly inside, as the door was kept open. Overall we really enjoyed our experience.

A go-to spot for years. Beautiful views, delicious food and cocktails. A must if you are visiting La Jolla. Rachael is and has been the kindest, most attentive server that makes you feel so amazing and welcome.
