    Overall we had a good experience. Food was very flavorful although service was a bit slow. We arrived early when the dining room was largely empty so that was not an issue. Also noise level rose significantly as the room filled. Room itself is very pleasant and appropriate for a more casual dinner or special occasion. Value seemed reasonable for the La Jolla area.

    The Valentine's day menu was not very good and very overpriced. For $460, we had wedding-quality short rib, a beet tartare which was creative but not that tasty, a crab fritter that didn't seem like it was supposed to be cold, and so-so cocktails. Dessert and the soup were very good though. Service was exceptional, Michael was a great waiter - but it was disappointing to pay so much for food that we didn't feel like finishing.

    This was the worse experience we have had in a restaurant in years! I have been to The Mediterranean Room on and off for the past 25 years. Worst restaurant experience we have had in a restaurant in all that time. Food and Menu mediocre at best.

    We sat outside with a view of the ocean. It was a little chilly, but they had some heaters. Our eggs tasted perfect, and our fresh squeezed juice was fantastic. Their prices are better than some other restaurants in the area.

    There was a large party in the room which made it loud and not as enjoyable as it should have been. The food was good but in my opinion over priced
