George’s at the Cove serves seasonal New American fare with standout seafood and creative cocktails across three oceanfront levels, crowned by a breezy rooftop terrace.
"Celebrating its 40th year, this La Jolla institution is overseen by chef-partner Trey Foshee and executive chef Masa Kojima. Known for its seasonally minded cuisine and equally impressive views, take your pick for dining at Ocean Terrace (an open-air rooftop venue) or Level2 (a covered open-air bar area). Diners can’t go wrong with any of the seafood options on the menu, but favorites include the albacore tataki, mussels, and local rockfish tacos topped with mango salsa and crisp cabbage (the latter served for lunch). Reservations are encouraged, especially at sunset." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
"This might be the fanciest entry on the list but where else can you enjoy a fish taco with such a stunning ocean view? The lunch menu at George’s Ocean Terrace has a great rendition of the classic made with local rockfish." - Candice Woo, Mario A. Cortez
"Celebrating its milestone 40th anniversary, this La Jolla institution is comprised of three levels that each boast ocean views. The second level serves lunch and dinner with a focus on craft cocktails while the breezy rooftop ocean terrace is a coveted perch from which to enjoy a menu of coastal cuisine from chef and partner Trey Foshee and team." - Candice Woo, Helen I.

Other areas available for private dining include the Ocean Terrace and City View rooms. Executive chef Masa Kojima offers a range of culinary packages, from an array of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres to a custom, seven-course chef’s tasting menu." - Helen I. Hwang
