Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/11/2010 - Great La Jolla Dining ExperienceGeorge's is the perfect spot for late summer dinner in La Jolla. Sitting on the upper deck, you have a bird's eye view of the Pacific coast. Try the mussels for an appetizer -- excellent. The spaghetti with clams was great for dinner.
If you're in La Jolla and in the mood to splurge a bit, George's is the perfect spot.

were a positive experience.
It's located in a great spot near the ocean and the service is excellent.
Read More On Citysearch laylabee 5/4/2009 - Good restaurant for a romantic dinnerI like George's at the Cove but it's pretty expensive.
It's definitely a special occasion type of place. The food is great, the service is great and if you get the right table there are awesome views.
Reserve in advance on holidays like Valentine's Day.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/27/2009 - Beautiful and tastefulThe view is enough to fill you up! Most seating in the upper part of this restaurant acquires full view to the entire cove, beaches, and sea. It's definitely something to see!
Yet watch out for the angry prices! Something so simple as a salad is beyond okay for price range; I'm shocked that George's has not gone out of business for their extreme prices!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/25/2009 - great food for pricegreat view. Love the ocean, decent prices. Different levels of dining for different budgets. Only downside is occaisional wait for the ocean terrace level. However, they give you a beeper and you can walk around la jolla which is always fun.

1. Beautiful ocean view
2. Excellent service
3. Very delicious food
4. I love the atmosphere
5. Totally a flexible place - bring a date or family/friends to impress. :)
You have to book it in advance. Just a day before is okay. Otherwise, you may be waiting up to 2 hours for a seat for two.

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/18/2008 - Still the bestStill the best view any restaurant could have. Overlook La Jolla Cove while dining on incredible, and unique dishes. The view is excellent, but the food is also.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 10/13/2008 - Best of La Jolla in my opinionA lot of restaurants have come and gone but Georges still remains the king, as far as I am concerned. It remains our go-to place for out of town visitors, as well as when we are looking for a well prepared meal. For those who have not been, the restaurant overlooks the ocean, it is right up against it in La Jolla. Check it out!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/22/2008 - GREAT LUNCH VIEWThe view from the open terrace is amazing during the day, so bright and airy. It was very noisy and I don't even know if there was music playing at all. The service was good, the bussers kept our water very full all the time. My friend had the burger w/ aged cheddar and bacon- which was excellent and worth every penny. I had the 'most popular dish' I was told- the fig mustard, ham, and arugala pa...
Read More On Citysearch theriches 7/16/2008 - Excellent SeafoodI had a lovely meal at George's California Modern last Friday. Haven't been there since they remodeled and I was pleasantly surprsed how modern, young & non-stuffy it felt. I had been there prior and the food was excellent, but the atmosphere felt too stuffy. NO MORE! The great bar in the bottom level was very cool. Creative & unique cocktails! Our dinner was beautifully prepared (we had the...
Read More On Citysearch epv 6/16/2008 - I was disapointed. Good, but it does not live up the hype.Ok, I understand that George's is an impressive restaurant. Creative, innovative, amazing, whatever. It's nice but not one of the best. As a foodie ,we enjoyed 5 great nights of dining in the SD area but I would rate George's at the bottom of the list of what we had. The food was fresh, beautifully presented with impeccable service all in a beautiful setting. But, it just didn't do it for me...
Read More On Citysearch coup36 1/3/2008 - Definitely the best restaurant in La JollaGeorge's is awesome - The food is amazing (but not over-priced), the specialty mixed drinks at each of the bars are outstanding (they have an on-site mixologist that creates interesting, seasonal drinks with fresh fruits), the atmosphere is fun and inviting, and the view is spectacular (especially at sunset). Great date (or anytime) place!
Read More On Citysearch emalnati 12/28/2007 - Incredibly disappointing!
I went to George's California Modern for a special occasion with family expecting to have a terrific dining experience. I was really looking forward to showing my family what I believed to be one of the top restaurants in San Diego. We started off with mixed drinks that were good and fairly creative but nothing earth-shaking. From there the meal got progressively worse--out of three salads, one w...

It is literally the best thing I have ever consumed in my life, and on more than one ocassion I have skipped the entree entirely and just gotten more soup. I think I'va had the pork chop and something else before as a main, but I can't even remember them because my...

Read More On Citysearch by turtley at Menuism 7/10/2007 - Ocean TerraceDuring the summer you can't beat the Ocean Terrace for a lovely lunch or sunset dinner. The food is wonderful and a great value for what they serve. The specialty drinks are pretty good and the wine pours are generous. The view can't be beat and with great food George's Ocean Terrace isn't missing anything that makes a great dining experience.

Read More On Citysearch by Brad F. at Judy's Book 10/23/2006 - A quick lunch bite...I've only been here once for lunch up on the patio area and it was superb. It definitely left a lasting impression on me. I wish to try the place out for dinner but the restaurant is a bit far from where I live. We only went there in passing to San Diego.
The service was great and the food we ordered was good. The view from the patio was beautiful on a sunny bright day. Great for pictures!!!
Read More On Citysearch patee333 10/6/2006 - Amazing food and serviceThe food is amazing, and the service is impeccable. They pay attention to every detail. It truly is worth the price! Ask for a table near the window for a gorgeous ocean view.
Read More On Citysearch bessca 8/28/2006 - World class place!This restaurant is very upscale and the atmosphere is awesome. I brought a date here once; it is a very good place for a date. The balcony overlooks the shores, and the seafood is top notch. I ordered salmon which was juicy and tender. The prices are high but totally worth it.

Read More On Citysearch by MistySea w. at Judy's Book 10/7/2005 - Ocean Terrace Fine DiningTheir Ocean Terrace is simply beautiful'; you can enjoy a reasonably-priced meal (probably $16-22) with the surf crashing next to you. Every seat has a great view of the ocean; it does get very crowded so be sure to make reservations ahead of time-- I did it online at opentable.com. The halibut with a cherry tomato vinagrette was fantastic; the chicken breast was a little on the dry side but st...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/20/2005 - pricey, but delicious and great viewIf you're looking for a great place to bring a date, this is it. Request a seat on the balcony to get an amazing view of la jolla shores as you enjoy your fresh seafood catch. During the weekends and nights I recommend making reservations though since it does get extremely busy and the wait could be awhile.
