The outdoor seating is beautiful, a peaceful place under trees with a view along the place. The food is carefully prepared and well presented and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our diner in this nice place.

Monday summer sunset, a lovely venue. Fish was very good and a good value. Not an extensive wine list. Service was pleasant and efficient.

We enjoyed a family dinner here while in town celebrating my daughter's college graduation. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and we loved the view and the food. The Coast Toast dessert was fantastic. As it cooled off on the patio the staff brought us lap blankets and a patio heater. The dinner will be a good memory on this significant... More

The French toast is tremendous. I love the omelets. The view is the best in La Jolla. The smell of the birds on the cliffs is horrid at times. The City fenced off the cliffs in recent years as a biological preserve so the birds have turned it into their latrine.

Food is ok a little expensive but you can't beat the view. Unfortunately the air is a little smelly because of the birds,maybe they'll get it cleaned up soon if enough folks complain.

I have been to this restaurant overlooking the Pacific Ocean many times, and always remembered the food to be outstanding. I took some family members who were in town to breakfast this morning, and the whole experience was a let down. The service was quite good, but the food was awful. Overlooked bacon, when it eventually arrived, warmed over breakfast... More

Brockton Villa is set in one of the most beautiful places a restaurant could be: literally, right across the street from the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla. It's an old place, which contributes to the charm. Up quite a few stairs from the street level, virtually every seat in the house -- and all those outside the house -- has... More

We were seated on the balcony outside with a great view of the sunset and La Jolla Cove. Our server was fantastic from the wine service to menu knowledge and service. The sea bass was excellent. We had a very memorable evening at Brockton Villa!

This place is located in La Jolla Cove area and while parking can be tough sometimes, it's worth the effort. The Cove is one of the most beautiful locations in San Diego and the food choices at Brockton are many. Little bit pricey, though.

We absolutely love this place. The views are wonderful but the food is as good or better. We went here twice on our last visit and can't wait to come back!
