"In La Jolla Shores, this oyster spot from George Hauer and Trey Foshee—opened in October 2021 to replace their Galaxy Taco—will close on Saturday, November 1; though its lease runs through December 31, the team chose to conclude service in the Kellogg building sooner, and in recent weeks the kitchen paid homage to Galaxy Taco with a trio of tacos (fish, birria, and mushroom) and a house margarita for $28." - Helen I.

"Sandpiper, a casual seafood establishment from the team behind George’s at the Cove, sits squarely on the main strip of La Jolla Shores and offers views of the sunset. Newer dishes like Berkshire pork chop, bucatini, and crispy Mary’s chicken cutlet have been added to the menu of staples like oysters and Baja fish tacos with heirloom blue corn tortillas. Don’t skip the skillet corn cake with spicy macha agave and peanuts. Happy hour deals run Sunday to Friday, 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 5:30 p.m., featuring burgers, wings, and oysters, plus drink specials like a $10 passionfruit margarita." - Helen I. Hwang
"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
"The relaxed La Jolla Shores relation of George’s at the Cove hosts an all-day happy hour running from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays when wines by the glass, well drinks, and draft beer are $4 off. Or try the $10 Sandpiper passionfruit margarita available during happy hour. Food specials include $6 Baja fish tacos, crispy shrimp, or albacore tiradito, along with its signature offer of $2 oysters with the purchase of a bottle of Champagne." - Helen I. Hwang
"The La Jolla Shores restaurant is seriously robust, offered from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with $4 off draft beer, wine, specialty cocktails, and well drinks and an extensive list of food that includes menu favorites like Baja fish tacos, smash burgers, steamed mussels, and crispy shrimp." - Candice Woo
