Gravity Heights Sorrento Valley
Price: Moderate•American•4.8(1,229)We’re not out to take the San Diego beer scene by storm or reinvent the wheel because the truth is, there’s no shortage of good breweries in San Diego. Instead, our aim is to pair that good beer with the same delicious food, exceptional service and genuine hospitality we’re known for so you never have to compromise one for the other again. Tucked away in Sorrento mesa, our 12,000 square foot brewpub includes a full service restaurant, an event space, an expansive and lush outdoor beer garden and a pretty stellar team to make sure you always have good food in your mouth and a solid beer in your hand.California English
Price: Expensive•American•4.6(561)Located in the Sorrento Valley, California English is the newest culinary creation from celebrity chef, Richard Blais. Blais is creating an all-day menu for California English that’ll interpret classic British dishes through the lens of Southern California ingredients.
The idea is a fusion of sorts: the laid-back California lifestyle that makes San Diego so unique, mixed with a cozy pub convivial atmosphere where you can meet friends (or mates) for a pint after work, set up a client lunch with fresh oysters on the menu or have a cozy family dinner over a Sunday roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes.
The effortless vibe of casual yet stylish makes for the perfect place to celebrate the joy of the unexpected coming together to make the perfect culinary match.

- JJIMVIPOrange County •4 reviews5.0Dined todayValet Parking: The Valet Parking is a major, major issue. The Valet Parking, a single access lane, get so backed up at "drop off" that it creates a traffic hazard at the intersection of La Jolla Village Drive and Genesee Avenue and that's one of the most congested intersections in San Diego County. I'm surprised the city allows for this type of routing and it make little sense, creates a hazardous situation and no one seems to care.More infoLucreziaPrice: Expensive• Italian• La Jolla•4.5
