The Mediterranean at La Valencia HotelAnniversary mealReally nice food, but the old-school service is what sets this place apart. George, our waiter, was a great problem-solver, and we were cared for hand-and-foot. Anniversary meal, so we were greeted by champagne and ended with a chocolate torte, both on the house. A wonderful experience.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat lunch experience with a view!Delightful Lunch! Great experience, excellent view.

Always good food, well served. Always quite expensive, but worth it for the quintessential old La Jolla experience.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe chose La Valencia becauseWe chose La Valencia because it seemed like the perfect place to have breakfast with some out of town family members -- beautiful, serene, elegant and sure to have fine food and great service. Everything was indeed perfect, except for the serene part. The construction (and destruction) of the famous and beloved Whaling Bar was sad to be around, and a huge noisy table of about 15 energetic and boisterous Brazilians (is there any other kind?) was sort of holding the dining room hostage. No one could hear anything, and even the waiters and hostess said they couldn't hear themselves think....
The hotel is under new ownership and they are making changes (even the oatmeal doesn't come with fresh berries anymore).4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Saturday nightWhat a lovely evening we had at The Mediterranean!
