We picked the Ocean Terrace for lunch on a perfect day. The view is breathtaking and engaging, but this was the best meal on our trip to San Diego. The grapefruit-tini and pisco sour were wonderful. The ceviche appetizer was more than enough for two people and not over seasoned, so the sweet flavor of the fish could come through.... more

I have visited George's many times on my visits to La Jolla and always enjoyed the food on the busy terrace with great views. This time though the place was empty and the food terrible. I had mussels followed by the special. I don't know what the chef had done to the mussels but instead of nice plump mussels they... more

Just got back to our hotel from eating dinner at Georges. My husband called before we left to make sure our 18-month-old daughter would be welcomed there. The hostess told him they "love" little ones and that we should bring her right over. We ate at the Ocean Terrace portion of the restaurant because it is more casual and because... more

Georges at the Cove is without a doubt my top choice to recommend for anyone visiting the La Jolla cove area—there are many great restaurants on Prospect Street that have great food and views, but Georges stands above the rest. I lived in La Jolla from 2004-2007 and had the pleasure of dining there many times over those years, and... more

The food is consistently excellent. However, it has become apparent that there is a disparity with the quality of waiters. In the times I have been there, it has become apparent that the best waiter is Eric. However, on two occasions, my group has had a short waiter with dark hair who clearly does not appear to like his job... more

I had been to Georges 11 years ago. It was wonderful!. The view, service, and menu were outstanding. My famliy was returning to visit my son in the military. We were celebrating my birthday, my parents anniversary and the reunion with my son. We thought George's would be a great place. Wrong. It was more like a crowded bar scene... more

My Experience At George’s in LaJolla Georges Ocean Terrace was not nearly as nice as I thought. I was told by a couple of friends and read the rave reviews on this page. I then decided it was worthy of Sunday afternoon lunch with my family from out of town, maybe not. I made reservations two weeks in advance and... more

Georges At The Cove has three levels of dining: Ocean Terrace with a contemporary look, George's Bar for the casual diner and California Modern for a more formal dining experience. Creating these 3 styles within one complex presents quite a diversified array of choices. But from appearances, it seems to be a very well-executed, successful concept! Our experience was dinner... more

I was afraid that when I went to this place it would be hyped up, but it was really good! Service was alright, not the speediest but the waiter was nice enough. We got four courses. The salad was great, appetizer was so-so, entree was aaaamazing, and the dessert was just alright to me, but everyone else loved it. I... more
