              Our family went there for dinner and experience seafood on the ocean. Had a great time with family. Definitely try the dessert ice cream mud pie. Service was great and the food was outstanding.

              The menu is limited. They need more Hawaiian fusion items. What we order was just okay. Service is as fine not great. It’s all About the location and view.

              Our server, Grant, was fantastic. The coconut shrimp was delicious and the fish was very fresh. Will definitely try this restaurant again next time I visit La Jolla.

              Lovely patio overlooking The Cove. Food and service was terrific plus there was live music - Kai Kalama - who was great. Nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon.
