Best Cozy Restaurants in Torrey Pines

We sat under the huge beautiful tree out back and had a lovely dinner. From the hostess to our waiter and servers, the service was perfect.

Ate on patio and food and service was exceptional

My husband and I have eaten here 4 or 5 times, and we very much enjoyed it. This time unfortunately was a little disappointing. The service was lacking. We ordered drinks and oysters, it took a while to get our drinks, but no oysters, the server said they would be coming shortly. We then ordered dinner, again it was quite a wait, my husband's steak was barely warm, and my mussels were just warm, and still now oysters. Final the oysters appeared. I stated it would have been nice to get the before our meal, and she just said they were backed up, no apology. We will be back because we enjoy this restaurant, but I think we'll wait until after summer.

We decided go to the Whaling Bar after reading a review about the changes made to the Bar/restaurant. The food and service were excellent. We had shared plates, cocktails and wine having a Girls dinner..

From the moment we walked in, we were blown away. This restaurant from Chef Blais was absolutely beautiful—every detail in the décor created the perfect ambiance for a memorable evening. The food? Incredible. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. What truly elevated our experience, though, was the fantastic customer service. Our server, Abraham, was amazing—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure everything was just right throughout the night. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food, stunning aesthetics, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!
