Oceanfront dining with seafood, steak, and stunning high tide views
"Known for its unparalleled view of La Jolla Shores, the Marine Room is a romantic setting for celebrating milestones and special occasions. For a front-row seat of high tides splashing against the large windows, book a table during the High Tide dinner series: Held during peak tide time to ensure dramatic waves, diners can choose between a four-course dinner or a chef’s table experience while enjoying live music and a sunset toast. Earlier seatings include the Rising Tide experience between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. in which guests can choose between an a la carte menu or a three-course dinner. Signature dishes include the king salmon or surf and turf, which pair well with a kelp martini." - Roxana Becerril
"A La Jolla dining destination where chef Accursio Lota applied his culinary skills after relocating to San Diego, contributing to his professional development and regional reputation." - Helen I. Hwang
"La Jolla’s 84-year-old gem, the Marine Room is famous for its front-and-center view of high tides crashing against its windows. Couples looking to make a splash can count on the restaurant’s new executive chef Ananda Bareño (formerly Alila Marea Beach Resort) to serve up her latest creations — Tasmanian ocean trout with coconut salsa macha and cassis chayote; rose snapper with piperade and garden sorrel sauce; and Japanese A5 wagyu strip steak with onion brûlé and potato pavé. Festive pre-dinner hors d’oeuvres range from beef or bluefin tuna tartare to lamb lollipops and mini crab cakes. Up to 230 guests can attend an oceanfront soiree hosted here and may even book a stay at the restaurant’s sister property up the road called the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club." - Roxana Becerril
"One of La Jolla’s crown jewels, the waterfront restaurant is known for its unparalleled views of the beach and caves. Guests can order a la carte, four-course menu, or chef’s table experience; highlights include bluefin tuna, ocean trout, or 38-day dry aged Tomahawk steak. Expect expansive views in its lounge area, which has floor-to-ceiling windows, and white tablecloths in the more formal main dining room (first-timers should try to get into the lounge, though, for the most prismatic vantage point)." - Helen I. Hwang
"Nothing beats dining in the lounge at La Jolla’s the Marine Room for romance, a space which takes in jewel-like views of the Pacific from massive, wall-length windows. Small round tables with chic midcentury-style seating face the view; a lounge menu offers a smartly curated array of small plates (think Moroccan-style lamb lollipops, persimmon carpaccio, and tuna crudo with aji amarillo aguachile) to graze on. Wines by the glass and sensually named drinks (“apple of my eye”) round the experience." - Helen I. Hwang
