★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris Stephenson · Feb 2026

We recently visited Georges at the Cove and were absolutely blown away by the newly renovated Ocean Terrace. The fresh look of the space perfectly complements the iconic La Jolla views, making it easily the best rooftop vibe in San Diego. The menu has some incredible standouts that made our night: The Drinks: The cocktails are top-notch—innovative, refreshing, and the perfect pairing. Beef Tartare & Bone Marrow: This appetizer was a highlight; served with sourdough, it was rich, savory, and perfectly executed. Local Spiny Lobster Spaghetti: The combination of red chili, charred onion, and lemon cream with fresh lobster was decadent and full of flavor. Spice Crusted Local Swordfish: A fantastic main course—the spice crust paired with herbed farro and yuzu yogurt sauce was a unique and

Amazing. Had an excellent time here with my dad. Started off by being greeted by the most wonderful staff and even with reserving a table for the wrong date, they were more that willing to seat us with an incredible view. The restaurant has 3 levels that overlook La Jolla, the top being a beautiful roof, the middle is where the photo below was taken and has an open window view and bar, and I believe the bottom has a inside area. I totally recommend paying the extra $60 to be with the view as it’s one of the best aspects of the place. If you go during a non busy time(like around 4) they’ll be open tables typically at the window so it may be free the extra fee. To add onto this beautiful restaurant, our waiter was hilarious and so helpful! And if you have dietary restrictions, many if the

I recently visited George’s at the Cove in La Jolla and had a great experience overall. The location is absolutely stunning, offering beautiful ocean views right from your table, especially if you manage to get a window seat as I did. I booked my reservation on the same morning around 8 or 9 a.m. and was surprised to find availability for a 12:45 p.m. lunch. Although there was some construction noise on the top deck, the staff accommodated my request to sit by the window and enjoy the view. The food itself was great; I started with the salmon tartare and had rockfish tacos for lunch. The service was good- and the overall atmosphere was very enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend George’s at the Cove to anyone visiting La Jolla for the first time who’s looking for a great meal with a fantast

What a fantastic place! We started with the brussel sprouts. Everyone in our group got different entrees and we were all really pleased. Ended the night with 3 desserts. We talked about how wonderful George’s at the Cove was the entire night. It’s also a wonderful place to watch the sunset!

I would give them 6 stars if I could! Came here for our wedding anniversary dinner and they definitely made it very special. They knew it was our anniversary so they upgraded us to the terrace seating and even brought champagne on the house. Servers were quite nice and prompt to check on us, asking if we needed anything and if the food was good. General manager also came and stopped by our table twice and was quite a gem to talk to. Portobello Mushroom - just wow! I was not expecting to have loved this so much! Mushroom cap was perfect and went so well together with that Thai sauce and those shishito peppers! And oh gosh, even those cashews on the side had some flavor of their own. What a lovely combination here! Salad - could be better. Really love the concept of the pair and the blue
