- HHelenvipSan Francisco Bay Area •33 reviews5.0Dined todayWe had a great time here celebrating my husband's birthday. Highly recommend the seafood tower. Our waiter Yao was so attentive and friendly, the service he provided us took the whole experience to another level. We'd recommend this restaurant to anyone for special occasions, or just to have a good meal with wonderful service and a great ocean view.More infoEddie V's - La JollaPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• La Jolla•4.8

- OTOpenTable DinerSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023The food is fresh, delicious, and very well priced for the portion and quality. My family and I usually order takeout and enjoy it at the beach nearby. The food is perfectly suited for a casual picnic. As it was rainy winter’s day, we dined in. The macadamia crusted fish is always a hit. I highly recommend it as well as the rib and chicken plate. Ask your server for off the menu specials in case you’re looking for something different from the usual menu. The quality and freshness of the mac/nut fish is on par and surpasses some of the more upscale, expensive, 5 star restaurants in San Diego. Their appetizers are also delightful, like the coconut shrimp. The servers and front of house staff are kind and attentive; and make great recommendations. Our server was very kind to offer a complimentary dessert as a couple in our party was celebrate their wedding anniversary. This is great place to dine in the village with family and out of town guests. The patio offers a lovely view of the beach and coastline. Overall, a wonderful experience as always.More infoDuke's La JollaPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• La Jolla•4.6
