    BLT with salmon, crab cakes, clam chowder and Mediterranean chopped salad were all delicious. Outdoor seating with a view of the ocean was an added bonus. Overall, we loved our La Jolla dining experience.

    The food was delicious. So many flavors between the drinks, guac(with Parmesan), salsa and tacos. The filet mignon tacos were more spicy than we’d anticipated. Still yummy but if you aren’t a spicy fan I’d stick to a different type of taco. They have several to choose from!

    Three of us shared the onion tart, the citrus salad, steak frites, and the swordfish almondine. We enjoyed it all! The swordfish was delectable. The tart was a nice combination of rich caramelized onion and flaky, tasty crust. The steak cooked medium was beautifully seasoned, the fries crisp and hot. The wine by the glass offered a lovely sancerre, and the Old Fashioned cocktail was smooth and spicy. I'll be back!
