    Everything went well except for the wait time. Waiting over 45 min to get seated. Another 30 for the chef. We were informed they were short staffed after the fact, however it was an amazing experience. Our chef Chris M. was a delight!

    The food is AMAZING, our server was a little bit aloof, she seemed new. BUT I would definitely go back to this restaurant. Again, amazing food and the outdoor seating is just great and the way to go with summer weather hitting.

    Superb! Arthur and our Somalia took the most spectacular care of me and my family for dinner. We celebrated my youngest for his graduation and wanted something special to celebrate. Sea & Sky made the evening exceptional with their attentiveness, suggestions for menu selections and made sure my son was taken care of. The food was perfectly prepared and tasted amazing! We spent over two hours enjoying the food, the ambiance and just being with family. I will absolutely visit this restaurant again and again when in La Jolla. It’s definitely a keeper!
