Restaurants near Salk Institute

Amalfi Lama is one of my favorite places to go. I’ve been there numerous times for dinner and they have great happy hour as well. My favorite waiter is Eugene. He is amazing. This evening was very quiet. Normally they have a DJ that plays loud music. The place is beautiful and has a nice ambience. 

Great Food and great service. I was surprised by the beef carpaccio because last time I got it. It was wonderful and this time it was very spicy. 

Wonderful location over looking the ocean. Fish tacos were amazing. Barbecued chicken salad was a hit as well. Had a table by the glass wall looking out over the bay. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive Definitely will come back.

Jared, our server, was excellent! We began with cocktails. Great experience for New Year’s Day. Food was delicious and entrees were followed up with dessert & coffee. Two young gentlemen waited on us and they were delightful. Thank you Torrey Pines Grill. We will see you again.

The ambience and service are the shining stars here. Food is very good but not sure worth the price. But hard to say anything bad because it was a very enjoyable night. Personally I’d save it for a more special evening than just an average night out. Even though it’s a very busy, loud and energetic place, our round booth table for six in the middle of the restaurant still felt very private.
