The 38 Best Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"A landmark La Jolla restaurant, George’s at the Cove has been going strong for over 40 years now. The culinary team is led by chef Trey Foshee, executive chef Masa Kojima, and pastry chef Anna Adams. The restaurant’s three levels, each with different vibes, all have sweeping views of the Pacific shoreline. The rooftop Ocean Terrace features a full bar and a new snacks menu with fresh anchovies, sardines, mussels, and grilled cheese. Right below is the newly renovated Level 2 dining area and bar with a high-top counter facing the ocean. Hit up the spring and summer happy hour for half-price beer and wine, along with bar bites. The lowest level works well for large gatherings. Must-try dishes: For lunch, don’t skip on the lobster roll and rockfish tacos. For dinner, try the seared rare yellowtail or prime flat iron steak." - Candice Woo
