One of our new favorites in La Jolla. The staff is fantastic. The food is wonderful. Very generous portions. Inside on a Friday night is very energetic. I would suggest sitting on the patio. Even when it's cool outside the heaters are fine. Friendliest staff from top to bottom I've encountered in years.
