Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephane Voitzwinkler

From the OpenTable editors: This plush penthouse escape—open since 1965—reached new heights after a dramatic redesign. Thanks to a freshly added lounge, diners have better access to its skyline views. The French-American restaurant highlights local produce in throwback dishes like grilled blue prawns with charred shishitos and pan-roasted Alaskan halibut with corn.

    One of the best restaurants in San Diego and in major cities like NY and San Francisco. Service is superb, food is interesting and delightful. Had the Caesar salad - great - the special asparagus, very good, and the lobster with cacao e Pepe and truffles which was sublime. Great cocktails and an extensive wine list although pricey. One of our favorite restaurants with views to die for on special occasions.
