    Cusp used to be one of my favorite restaurants in all of SD. The amazing view was matched by a top-tier innovative kitchen and an even more ambitious cocktail program and the service was always excellent and personal. That all ended when the Hotel La Jolla became part of the Hilton Curio Collection. At least they still have the view. I decided to try the newly renovated place-- now called Sea & Sky-- for Mother's Day Brunch. The food was good but pretty uninspired. There were no cocktails to be had because apparently the bar didn't open until 3pm-- on Mother's Day... with a packed room. Ludicrous. The service-- my real reason for writing this review-- was uniformly awful. The hostess-- wearing a wrinkled shirt and a frown--barely mumbled hello as we arrived. There was no welcome of any kind-- certainly no acknowledgement that it was Mother's Day or any attempt to make my mom feel special. This while other, far less expensive restaurants gush over every mom as they walk in, handing them a rose or some other token to elevate the experience. She walked us to our table, dropped the menus and split. Our waiter, Heddy, wasn't much better. He kept asking the same questions, didn't seem to be familiar with menu, etc. The bones are still there. I might be convinced to keep trying the space periodically in hopes for a true return to form, but in order for that to happen, the hotel probably needs to change hands again-- or Hilton needs to improve their compensation program and hiring standards for F&B staff.

    Great view of the ocean and La Jolla. Busy day, so I will give some grace, but we sat down and within 3 minutes the waitress asked if we were ready to order. Felt rushed most of the meal and the check was brought halfway into eating. Food was decent, though not spectacular. Nice to visit, felt like a hotel restaurant experience versus a destination experience. Glad we tried. We won’t return.

    You cannot beat the view from the restaurant, at the top of the hotel on the 11th floor overlooking La Jolla. The restaurant itself has a wonderful ambiance and the service was very good. The food was very good but fairly expensive, especially for the salmon which was a very small portion with only a few small pieces of potato and barely enough vegetable to be mentioned on the menu. My wife had the steak which was very good, and fortunately was a large enough portion that I was able to eat some of it and avoid leaving the restaurant hungry.

    David., thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have shared your feedback with our culinary team. Your feedback about service is important to us, and we'll ensure it’s addressed. We're glad your overall experience was great and hope to welcome you back soon.

    We enjoyed our dining experience at this hotel! Great food with a view. We had grilled octopus recommended by our waiter Arthur for starters and it was delicious, I had seabass and my husband got the steak. We both enjoyed our meals and the desert is great too, they have in-house pastry chef so it’s something worth trying. I love the vibe and view, the food and the service is great. I would recommend this place and will definitely go back whenever in the area!
