"Outdoor dining is offered on its covered front patio, but Sandpiper’s main dining room is also open air, cooled by ocean breezes coming in from the La Jolla Shores beach. The restaurant offers a robust happy hour, which runs Sundays through Thursdays from 4 p.m to 5:30 p.m. and all day on Fridays and Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with oysters, steamed mussels, fish tacos, and more on the menu. Even outside of happy hour, though, the patio area is worth stopping in for." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
