Sea & Sky

After moving from NYC back to SoCal, I missed this seaside cuisine. Located on the top floor of the hotel, great service from Dennis. Takes a bit of time to cook, but the HALF GRILLED SNAPPER was fiery peppery and delish! The add on flank steak to the ceasar salad was so flavory! Delish ginger ale too. The carrot cake dessert icing was to die for!

I had the chance to visit this restaurant located near La Jolla Shores, and it was such a memorable experience. The restaurant sits on the 11th floor of a nearby hotel, which means the view is absolutely stunning. From the moment you walk in, the wide windows showcase the coastline and ocean, making it a perfect setting to enjoy a relaxed meal. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit back and take in the scenery while enjoying good food and conversation. I went there for lunch and ordered the BLT, which was prepared really well. The bread was nicely toasted, the bacon had a satisfying crunch, and the vegetables were fresh, making it a very enjoyable sandwich. I also tried the hummus, which was flavorful, creamy, and came with just the right sides for dipping. The combination of good food and that kind of view made it feel special without being overly formal. I can definitely see this being a wonderful place for a date or even just a relaxing afternoon meal with friends. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting La Jolla Shores who wants great food in an unbeatable location with an amazing view.

Dinner at Sea and Sky in La Jolla was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with attentive and friendly service. As we dined, we were treated to one of the most breathtaking sunsets over the ocean, creating the perfect backdrop for the evening. The food was nothing short of amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. This restaurant truly captures the essence of dining by the sea with a touch of elegance. A must when you’re in La Jolla! 🌅🍷🍴

This spot on the 11th floor has such a mood with live music, soft lighting, and views that make you want to linger. Dinner was beautifully presented (though a little pricey), but the happy hour is where it shines. The green juice in the morning was pure joy. 💚 Everything just feels thoughtful and pretty ...very La Jolla.

The food quality was very bad. I ordered half of red snapper. It was supposed to be grilled. But it was kind of broiled when not completely defrosted, so it was combination of chewy and watery. The waitress was very apologetic about it and offered a replacement dish. They prepared salmon, which was also not cooked to perfection bit was delivered to me scorching hot and was super overcooked and dry. For $45 salmon and $52 snapper they should have at least cook it to perfection. The waitress was polite and nice. But the atmosphere was blaze. The restaurant was not busy at the time. I guess at winter when it get dark early you cannot see the view if you come for dinner. Overall, because I stayed at the hotel it was convenient but totally not worth the price and quality. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Amazing views and a full bar. The food is good, especially if you like seafood. They have a happy hour that looks enticing. Come for the view to then enjoy the food and drinks

I am sorry that I do not recall our server's name. He was exceptional in his knowledge of wine, food pairing, and his recommendations were EXQUISITE. Lean, handsome, gentleman with short brown curly hair. Excellent service all around. I arrived before my date. He offered me a delicious brut. He paid attention to detail, offered suggestions at the precise time, and followed up with care. I had the steak and frites off the bar menu. Complimented well with the garlic aioli for the fries, a chimmichurri, and a demi glaze for the tender steak. My date had the scallops. He suggested the perfect wine pairings. I had the seghesio Zin. He had the sonoma cutrer chardonnay. The dessert was a creamy cheesecake. All cooked and prepared to perfection. Update*** came back from impromptu stop to watch the drone show for the 4th and enjoyed the steak and frites at the bar. Maybe even better than the first time with more chimichurri :) service at the bar was phenomenal and all the staff were gracious and friendly.

My gf and I came for sunset dinner on a Sunday, and it did not disappoint. Can't beat the view. Food was good - we had the market catch (halibut) and the snapper. Service was good. They have no corkage fee on Sundays, so we brought a bottle of wine to go with the nice dinner. They opened it right as we were sitting down, poured us each a glass, put it on ice and were very attentive with the pours making sure our glasses were never empty. Highly recommend a Sunday sunset dinner like this

Wonderful view. Located inside the Curio hotel, at the top floor, 11th floor. Jimmy the bartender was great. The 2 gentlemen in the morning staff on Labor Day were fantastic as well. For happy hour, food was ok. For morning breakfast, options were ok. Pancakes were good, omelette was not good.

Sea & Sky Restaurant is on the 11th floor inside the Hotel La Jolla. Parking is validated. It was over a year ago since my last visit. Last week, I had a late lunch meeting. Was greeted and seated by the male staffer, who was apparently also the bartender and waiter. The kitchen and kitchen staff of 2 were visible from my booth seat. An older female staffer set my utensils and stemware. I asked her a question about the restaurant, and her immediate grumpy reply was, ' I'm off the clock,' and so I had to brace myself for the service that follows... We ordered off the restaurant week and the happy hour menus: Chardonnays, oysters, truffle fries, crudité hummus and salmon salad for me. The food too longer than expected, I had to constantly ask the waiter. He was apologetic, saying the main chef quit recently and the kitchen staff were new...ugh! The food was presented and tasted good but not memorable. The oysters I had last year had better mignonette and this time none. The salmon salad took forever and when it finally appeared, the taste was subpar for the anticipation, presentation was lackluster but nonetheless edible. Kitchen staff lacked creative presentation of dishes. The restaurant is stylish and I noticed the continuation of the Leaf decor from the garden entry, main lobby and here on the ceiling lighting. The draw here is the view of La Jolla and the ocean, from a distant but still makes for nice ambiance. Additionally, this is a business appropriate place for business meetings as there was hardly any diners. When happy hour started, I noticed people fill the bar and lounge area. If you're looking for a quiet restaurant setting for a private business meeting, this is an amazing place. The food is satisfactory but the lack service staffing slows service which might be ok if you're not in a rush. Recommend

The scallops were 20/10. I would come back for those and the view! The view is amazing, this restaurant and hotel are updated (less than 5 years ago) it's gorgeous! The fish special was yellowtail and as you can see by the presentation it was a bit underwhelming for a special. It looked messy and the fish was EXTREMELY dry and unflavored. We later told the waitress who offered to bring out another fish but that was finally towards the end of our meal - I will say the "new" fish was amazing in flavor and moist. The crab cakes were extremely salty but the roe and sauce was a great flavor

Enjoyed a delicious jazz brunch while on a trip to San Diego. Beautiful views, and delicious food. Service was excellent! Fresh healthy juice was delicious!

Great service, excellent food, wonderful view! Had breakfast here. Had the green shashuka and coffee, $32 total. The server was friendly and personable. Shashuka had fingerling potatoes, butternut squash, wilted kale, 2eggs, verde, jack cheese, and avocado. Freaking amazing! Nice jazz retro music and phenomenal veiw. What a great start to my day.

Too 5 meals of our marriage. Unexpected experience. Carrot cake is outstanding. Server was good but a tad pushy. He needs to slow down a notch. Relax and match your customers vibe.

We came up to the restaurant to use our food credit from our hotel stay, and wow--the view was absolutely breathtaking! I wish I had known about it sooner because we definitely would have dined here the night before. We were seated right away, but unfortunately, it took over 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Other tables around us were seated after us and managed to place their orders before we did, which was frustrating. That said, the food made up for it. Breakfast was delicious, and sipping coffee while taking in the stunning view was the perfect way to start the day. If the service had been quicker, it would have been an all-around perfect experience!

Where do I begin? This isn't your average hotel restaurant serving just hotel guests. This is a million-dollar, five-star dining experience with stunning views! It deserves to be a destination in itself, attracting visitors specifically for the food. From the ambiance, music, and jazz nights to the exceptional cuisine and staff, everything is top-notch. Make sure to ask for the complementary bread, to die for.. we ordered it twice. I wish Yelp allows me to upload more content to show everything we ordered and the ambience. Plus, you get validated parking! Enjoy a meal in La Jolla without the hassle of street parking--just luxurious convenience! This is my 3rd time at the place. Never disappoint!

Come to enjoy the view from this 11th floor restaurant at Hotel La Jolla Curio Collection. We preferred the morning as the glare was pretty significant around happy hour. The restaurant wasn't very busy and the service was friendly and quick for brunch. The huevos con chorizo weren't what I was used to but still very tasty. (It's bed of chorizo then the over easy eggs on top, so I ended up with far more chorizo but not enough egg to roll up in my tortilla.) My parents had the smash burger and avocado toast pictured. This is a really nice perk of staying at the hotel.

Decided to come here for jazz brunch. This is a new restaurant in the La Jolla Hotel. All in all it's a nice and trendy looking place but overall too expensive for the food quality. We paid 120 for steak and eggs, eggs and chorizo, the banana bread, a side of toast and two drinks. We started with the banana bread. It tasted kinda stale and hard as if it was warmed up. Wild for 10 dollars. The steak and eggs were the clear winner of the brunch. The steak was cooked phenomenally well and was a great cut with a great chimichurri sauce on top. With that said, could tell that these were not homemade fries with it. The huevos con chorizo were okay. They needed sour cream or avocado to slice through it. Also the tortillas were really stiff. The Life's a Beach drink was okay as was the mimosa. Life's a beach was 17 dollars which is kinda crazy considering the size (2/3 of it was the ice cube). The side of toast was 5 dollars for one slice of toast. Didn't love that. Great service, great views, but all in all we were kinda bummed out by it. Parking - it's attached to the hotel so the lot is free.

Visited this restaurant three times during my stay at the hotel. Twice for dinner and once for brunch. For the dinner I got two variations of the special restaurant of the week set menu. I tried both the caesar salad and beets as appetizers and the pasta and salmon as my main dish. All of these items were so delicious. I then got the pavlova for dessert with honey comb on top. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Super helpful servers and incredible fast service. The ambiance itself in the restaurant was great as well and there is a view of the skyline out of the floor to ceiling windows.

Delicious fresh breakfast with amazing view. Great friendly servers. Had the Green Shashuka and is was delicious.

Great views but they definitely need help with the food experience, everything was drenched in their sauces and the dishes didn't taste of a clean culinary experience. The staff was also not knowledgeable about their own menu. They really need help so that the culinary concept matches with the name Sea & Sky

Sea & Sky is the renovated flagship restaurant on the 11th floor of the Hotel La Jolla. Despite the gloomy skies during May and June, the westward facing view overlooking La Jolla Shores from the penthouse height was spectacular. I can only imagine how the golden hour would look on a clear evening. Guest parking was available near the main entrance to the hotel. You pick up a ticket from the machine which can be validated by the front desk upon departure. The bar and lounge were in the front of the room as you exited the elevator. To the right of that was the dining area with a seating capacity of over a hundred. Coastal cuisine was offered throughout the day with breakfast starting at 7 am. The prices were reflective of a boutique Hilton property which meant a premium was built into the cost. My visit was during lunch on a weekend. There were nine items on the menu. The Wild King Salmon was my selection. It was described on the menu as garnished with smoked shiitake mushrooms, celery, and clam + artichoke chowder. I think the chef deviated from this because a plump ravioli was included that had some type of seafood filling. I didn't see any mushrooms or celery either. Instead, green beans and squash were the vegetables. The crispy skin on the salmon added texture to the dish. The chowder was made up of a savory tomato base. While my food and service were good, it's all about the birdseye view here at Sea & Sky. I wouldn't hesitate to bring out of town guests to dine at a table or drink at the bar just so they can soak in the sunset vibes over La Jolla Shores.

An absolute must when visiting La Jolla! Food is delicious with flavors hitting the perfect notes. Awesome bar but the show stopper is the Amazing View!!! Recommend and Mist Try! Will be back.

Cusp used to be one of my favorite restaurants in all of SD. The amazing view was matched by a top-tier innovative kitchen and an even more ambitious cocktail program and the service was always excellent and personal. That all ended when the Hotel La Jolla became part of the Hilton Curio Collection in 2016. At least they still have the view. I decided to try the newly renovated place-- now called Sea & Sky-- for Mother's Day Brunch. The food was good but pretty uninspired. There were no cocktails to be had because apparently the bar didn't open until 3pm-- on Mother's Day... with a packed room. Ludicrous. The service-- my real reason for writing this review-- was uniformly awful. The hostess-- wearing a wrinkled shirt and a frown--barely mumbled hello as we arrived. There was no welcome of any kind-- certainly no acknowledgement that it was Mother's Day or any attempt to make my mom feel special. This while other, far less expensive restaurants gush over every mom as they walk in, handing them a rose or some other token to elevate the experience. She walked us to our table, dropped the menus and split. Our waiter, Heddy, wasn't much better. He kept asking the same questions, didn't seem to be familiar with menu, etc. The bones are still there. I might be convinced to keep trying the space periodically in hopes for a true return to form, but in order for that to happen, the hotel probably needs to change hands again-- or Hilton needs to improve their compensation program and hiring standards for F&B staff.

Oh my goodness, our waitress was obscenely rude to us. I hope she was just having a bad day and this wasn't a normal occurrence. We still left her a big tip hoping it would make her day better. Hopefully it did! This restaurant has such a nice view it's sad the waitress was so unkind. The bartender was very nice though!

First of all I ordered the salad dressing on the side. Everyone knows that means not mixed with the salad but on the side. I got both on the salad and on the side. I got another one. We had a voucher that I paid $50 for $100 worth of food, alcohol included. We only ordered $89 worth, which I knew. We got charged for a beer and wine we didn't order. The waiter seemed mixed up and blamed it on his boss. It is my birthday so I didn't want to cause a scene. We did get the drinks. Our waiter was very attentive and pointed out various things to look at out the window at our table and in another area of the restaurant.

This incident happened on 4/12/25. I'm still waiting for a return call from them but here we are, 6 months later and still no call from Hotel La Jolla/Sea & Sky. Our family dined at this establishment for a special dinner for my mother in law. Sea & Sky had a promotion at the time for groups who book and dine by April 30 will get double Hilton Honor points. I asked our server about it (can't recall his name now) and he said he was not aware of the promotion. Another server interrupted and said they don't do that. I told them it was on your website. I asked our initial server to ask the manager. I waited and waited. No manager came. I asked the server again and he told me he didn't ask the manager because the other server already said they don't do it. I was starting to get upset so I asked him to have the manager talk to me. A few minutes have gone by and still no manager. Finally, I saw a guy in a suit walking in our direction but stopped midway to talk to the server who interrupted the conversation. The manager had no plans of talking to me until I asked our server to call the manager where I saw him hiding. Marcos Villalobos, the manager, finally came by. He said he was not aware of the promo and that he didn't know I wanted to talk to him. I was very, very upset at this point! Marcos said he will ask the hotel manager about it and call me the next day. I asked for his number because I told him I will call him if he didn't follow up, which he didn't. I decided to call Hotel La Jolla on 4/30/25 to clarify their promotion and to complain about the Sea & Sky manager. He was not available. I left a message for him about the incident. "Joshua" called on 5/1/25 and left me a message that I must have received an email (it wasn't an email, it was all over their website at the time) about the promo and there are very specific guidelines and he'd be happy to discuss. I called back that same week but was told that Joshua was off and did not leave a message. I called for Joshua again on 5/11/25 to discuss and left a message and here we are, still no call. All I wanted was an answer to my simple question. But the way that Marcos handled it at the time was very poor, not to mention he never called me. And as for Joshua, another call back would have been nice. My family spent so much for a very special dinner at this establishment. No one knew any answer about their own promotion which was all over their website. This could have been avoided had they known about what was on their own page! We never expected both managers not to have the courtesy to call and give us answers.

We went there for Father's Day brunch and really enjoyed the view and food. The service however was not at par. When we got there, the host was on the phone talking to another customer so we waited for a few mins. Then she needed to speak to her manager to get some answers so she held the phone and kept calling her manager's name, the manger was talking to someone else and did not respond. We waited for another 5-10 mins watching her holding the phone, trying to get her manager's attention, not talking to the customer on the phone, not talking to us, not even eye contact as if we were not there. While I enjoyed the food and view there, I'd think twice before going again.

! recently had the pleasure of dining at Hotel La Jolla Sea & Sky, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict, and it was simply divine. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection, and the combination of the rich Hollandaise sauce with the tangy capers was exquisite. Each bite was a delightful blend of flavors. What made the experience even better was our server, Rosemary. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the dish and provided excellent recommendations. Her enthusiasm for the menu was infectious, and she assured me I was in for a treat--and she was absolutely right! The roasted breakfast potatoes on the side were equally impressive--crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, seasoned just right. The ambiance of the hotel added to the experience, with stunning ocean views and a relaxed atmosphere that made for a perfect morning. I highly recommend visiting the Sea & Sky Hotel for a delicious meal, especially if you're a fan of brunch. I can't wait to return and try more from their menu!

I love each food i have tried. I stayed in the hotel on Monday and checked out on Friday and absolutely love my stay especially when the restaurant is inside the hotel. I didn't have to go out and get food. All i went out for is work and go to the beach afterwork. I tried their breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and dinner and it did not disappoint. Some of the staff and bartender were nice and one staff needs to work on their attitude and be nice to their colleague. What is nice about this restaurant, you can view the ocean from the top.

Love the remodel! Still has the beautiful La Jolla view with a fresh new menu. Came in for a quick lunch and tried the Tuna Smashburger- tasted great with the kimchi and I'll be coming back for the fries alone. Food came out incredibly fast and service was beyond 5 stars. I wasn't a hotel guest but live locally and look forward to coming back soon to try more of the menu!

Came to this restaurant because my husband had been here before and he wanted to take us there for his big birthday. (The hostess knew that it was for his birthday dinner). The evening started off with our grandson's highchair not having the correct safety buckles. A lady server kept saying that that's how it was (it had 2 male clips & was missing a female clip). They found another one and it was the same problem. Another server finally found one that had both a male and female clips. (the lady server didn't seem happy about it and was grumpy) Our server "A" was attentive but lacked Knowledge about the menu. We asked him what Kurobuta porkchop was and he couldn't give us an explanation (like other high-end restaurants could). He just shrugged his shoulders and said that it was a porkchop that was very tender and juicy. (I actually knew what Kurobuta was). He also didn't tell us what the restaurant's specialties were nor explained what each entree was or how they were made, nor did he recommended any dish. We were basically guessing on our own. The appetizers were OK, but not superb for the price: oyster dish was too sour, octopus and crabcake were good, Yellowtail Crudo was kind of too thinly sliced. However, the main dishes were surprisingly delicious. We had the porkchop (good portion size), the snapper (I didn't think it would be sliced in half...disappointed about the size), and the 3 pieces of scallops dish. To end the dinner, we ordered a cheesecake and a carrot cake, which were good but again, not extraordinary. We thought they would remember why we came here in the first place, but they didn't. THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE BIRTHDAY PERSON...not even a small candle on the cakes we ordered. We were utterly disappointed even more. It's sad that the restaurant has such a beautiful view but lack in service and in many other ways... which did not reflect the high class restaurant reputation it deserved.

I remember this place as Cusp when they had that amazing surf & turf dinner and Prosecco special on Wednesday nights. It was wonderful and I ALWAYS brought every out-of-town visitor here to experience the good food and sunset. Unfortunately, I can not stand behind the new Sea & Sky, and it isn't necessarily just the restaurant's fault, but the hotel itself. I brought 5 out-of-town guests in yesterday evening to the bar for sunset. Apparently, we were the last people up in the only elevator that was left working (11 stories up), because while we were here, the last elevator also broke. We finished our drinks and meal, but then had to descend eleven flights of stairs to continue our evening. Not ideal...especially in light of the fact that two of our guests were in heels. Now, this evening, I have a few other family members in town for the holiday, and I thought that, for sure, the elevators would be working. At least one, anyway. But neither are. And two of my guests are elderly, and there is no way they will be climbing eleven flights of stairs just to eat and see a sunset. I came up just to see how it affected business. And, as suspected, there isn't a single person in the dining room, and only one person in the bar.....on a holiday and at the sunset hour. Hotel La Jolla, take notice....this isn't so much a bad review of Sea & Sky, but a bad review of you. Upon speaking with other people, apparently, these elevators have been a major problem for some time. No matter how many reiterations of the restaurant that you make, if people can't even get to it, it is all for nothing.

My wife and I stayed at Hotel La Jolla for 1 night getaway and decided to try out Sea & Sky for dinner. We picked 6:45pm since we wanted to enjoy the sunset while dining and we glad we did. The weather was perfect and the view was amazing. Overall, the decor, service and ambiance made it a great experience. With regard to food, we ordered the Crudo to share as our first. It was good, not amazing. It was served in a wide bowel and covered in garnish... this presentation didn't showcased the fish as the star. The fish and the dish tasted good. For entrees, my wife ordered the special, a halibut which was very, very good. Both me and my wife loved it. I ordered the half grilled snapper, one of the best I ever had. This dish worth coming back for again and again (and I will). For deserts.... Well, unfortunately the pastry chef was out sick that day so we didn't get to try any dessert :( that was disappointing. With all that said, do we recommend and will we be back to Sea & Sky? The answer is absolutely Yes.

Such a beautiful place. Stunning sunset views, amazingly, attentive and personable, waitstaff, the freshest and most delicious food. I'm so happy we stopped here.

Came here over the weekend had amazing French toast. But what made our experience top-notch was our server Rosemary. We will be back.

We decided on this place for our anniversary dinner. We had been to a couple of iterations of this place before for happy hour and the stunning ocean views. We were not disappointed with this iteration. Beautifully styled and you could see the kitchen, which is a plus in my book. Our primary server Arthur was very attentive and answered our questions regarding the menu. The food was fantastic. In particular I had the sesame leaf-wrapped pork chop (which may not have been exactly what it's called on the menu) and I will have it again.

The ambiance lovely and the view breathtaking especially at sunset! The new menu was thought out and creative but enjoying the flavors was challenging! It looked better than it tasted. It wound've been great to have a few simple dishes to balance the over creative cuisines. Bone marrow with tuna,huh? Clams gnocchi, yikes? We had the whole snapper yet it was served with a side dish of cooked chopped tomatoes with lil anchovies which didn't complement the fish drowning in Mayo like sauce. Since we love staying at this boutique hotel, we will keep dining here. Breakfast with a bird's eye view of LaJolla & Ocean is the best!

Beautiful views And great service. Menu could use more diversity. The beet salad was very good

I've always enjoyed dining in the restaurants atop Hotel La Jolla, in their many reincarnations, going back to Elario's, with live jazz and one of the best wine lists in Southern California. Sea and Sky, the latest, has great views over La Jolla Shores to the Pacific. We reserved one hour before sunset to enjoy some color. The June gloom rolled in, so we missed that treat. S&S offers eight starters and eight entrees. We shared the blue crab cake starter, $28, a tasty, good-sized round portion, about five inches across, with excellent crab content, trout roe, green blueberry capers, and mustard. The spicy chorizo and Manila clams starter, $28, came in a white wine, garlic, and tomato broth, and crostini for dipping, and was a little light on flavor. The daily fish, $47, halibut, a decent portion but bland, came with mashed potatoes, blistered shishito peppers, and Chinese long beans, which didn't seem fresh. It has a decent wine by the glass list starting at $13. Corkage is $25. Service was excellent. To enjoy the setting at lower prices, visit during the daily happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m.

The only reason I'm giving two stars is because of the view, which was beautiful. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. The cocktails were underwhelming, with a massive ice cube that took up too much space and diluted the already not-so-tasty drink. Service was slow, and the waitstaff didn't seem particularly attentive or helpful. Most importantly, we had specifically requested a table by the window for a friend's birthday but never received it. The hostess was rude and dismissive when we inquired about it, which left a bad impression.

Oh my! Are you a foodie? Do you like depth of FLAVOR? If you answered, yes to either of those questions, then what are you waiting for? First let me tell you about the oysters. They are flavor bombs. Probably the best oyster I can ever remember! Every dish we had after that was equally as spectacular! Their wine selection is very perfectly paired with the flavor profiles in their dishes. We live locally, but I would travel miles to come back here again. They have remodeled beautifully and done everything right!

The worst service and food ever. The view cannot make up for how bad this place is. We were not greeted at the hostess stand and the waitress just pointed us to our table at the end of the room instead of escorting us there. I asked her several times for my drink and she blatantly ignored me. I ordered the tuna smash burger and it was completely inedible - it had a very odd chemical aftertaste and was cold and dry. The waitress gave our table attitude and almost was hostile about her responses. Beautiful view, but every thing else is not worth the time or money.

This is my go to restaurant when I have clients in town! They are always so impressed by the amazing food, service and atmosphere! Bravo Sea & Sky!

Great location ! We were a party of 10 for a Birthday dinner, it was difficult to witness the waitress without a Bus Boy so I spoke to the 'reluctant' Manager who apologized for the lack of supportive staff to which I had to remind him that its his 'duty' to help clear the table ! ( he deliberately left some dirty dishes ) I also noticed in another part of the restaurant that a larger group had left & their dirty dishes were left the whole evening ? Sadly not all meals were good 3 at the table had dry Pork & sent back, however my chicken was good, our Host was disappointed that he could not have some particular wines that were listed on Menu ?

Atmosphere amazing bartender friendly and Terri our server was fantastic. Will definitely be back. Had the scallops which were cooked perfectly.

This location has always suffered from beautiful views and terrible food. Well, that has all changed. We now have beautiful views and fabulous food. A new chef has arrived and it makes all the difference in the world. My husband and I went tonight. We had a fabulous meal. We shared the tomato cherry salad, the bread service with the pickled ramp butter... Which is to die for. He had the salmon and I had the scallops...both entrées were fabulous. We shared a bottle of wine. No dessert for us, but it was a fabulous evening. The view was gorgeous. Dennis was our server and he was excellent. He kept things low-key and, tried to make sure we were not feeling rushed. The ambience is excellent... How can you beat a view like that. Please everyone, go...let's keep this restaurant open and active and profitable. La Jolla Shores has needed something like this for a long time.

Laila was phenomenal. Terrific host. Food was good. View was great. Elevator, yes one for 11 floors of hotel rooms, not so much.

Eddie is the best!!! After helping me at my last stay with my to go breakfast orders to this stay assisting me with my coffee orders he always has the best conversation and service. He is such a hardworking individual and so incredibly kind. Be sure to ask for him when visiting this tasty restaurant.

Came for an early dinner with kids. I had the scallops, dad had the steak, and we ordered a burger and fries for my son. The cocktails looked so good but we skipped and opted for wine. Everything was delicious. We also did an order of the oysters. A bit pricey but worth it for the service and view.

This place is up back and running after going through a remodel. The ambiance here is indescribable. We were greeted immediately by a very friendly host and taken to our seats. Every table has a breathtaking view of the ocean! Our server Shelby was extremely attentive and had wonderful recommendations. My family and I tried a little bit of everything and oh my lord we were blown away by how amazing every single dish tasted. For appetizers we had asparagus, baked mussels & the bone marrow with some type of raw fish. I normally do not like seafood or raw fish but this melted in your mouth, filled with flavor and beautifully presented. My mom is a pescatarian and was throughly impressed by the asparagus. The baked mussels were so good I was only able to snag one before my brother hogged the whole plate. For entrees my brother and mom both got the salmon dish that came with perfectly cooked artichokes and not to mention the presentation was beautiful. I ordered the scallops (nothing I would ever order but the way our server described it left me intrigued) I was not disappointed. Scallops were freaking awesome paired with mushrooms and some crispy delicious things. I know it sounds crazy but we still had room for desserts! We got the chocolate tart, the shaved ice and another chocolate something... crowd pleaser was for sure the shaved ice. There was coconut on the bottom and air dried tangerines? I was trying to find words to describe the flavor explosion but it truly is indescribable. Hats off to the chef and the staff the whole experience was phenomenal to say the least and we CANNOT wait to go back. The whole ride home my brother couldn't stop talking about how it was the best meal of his life!!! The bathroom was also so beautiful I had to take a picture !

Beautiful view, great atmosphere, good service. Great place to sit and relax to enjoy meal with friends.

Table for two on the 11th floor with unobstructed views of the ocean. While sipping delicious cocktails we watched the floor show occurring in the ocean - blue whales (we think) blowing a watery fume of breath out of their blow holes that was easily seen from our table. Other dinners began noticing what we were watching and it seemed like the entire restaurant was watching the show. Pretty cool way to enjoy cocktails and anticipating our meal. The appetizers, the entrees and the desserts were fantastic. The staff is professional and clearly trained. A great and enjoyable evening. We enjoyed a three hour meal and view. Thank you Sea and Sky - well done.

Wonderful dinner (had the whole fish) and staff!!! View and sunset... amazing! Can't wait to go back.

Stay away from this place. It was remodel, but the staff don't know what's in menu, every item that came out had something missing or over cooked or just wrong.

We came in recently to see our new favorite bartender in La Jolla, Charles. He helped us at Hiatus before Sea & Sky opening and we had to come see the new creations at the bar and restaurant. They did not let down. Charles gave us some amazing recommendations and as always made the best cocktails in town. I highly recommend this new restaurant, the views are breathtaking, the food/drink are spectacular, and you can't beat the service
