About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Beeside Balcony is a hidden gem in La Jolla Village, CA with a relaxed seaside chic décor where guests enjoy global mediterranean cuisine and ocean views from interior and the balcony. A third generation chef of Spanish and Italian descent, and hailing form Paris, France, Christophe's restaurant career began at 17 in the kitchen of his father's restaurant in Pasadena when they first emigrated to the USA. Upon returning to southern California in 2011, Christophe spent 8 years as the managing partner of Eddie V's Prime Seafood in La Jolla. Here he deepened his knowledge of sourcing and cooking the freshest seafood available, while delivering world class service. The laid back coastal vibe of La Jolla, combined with the attention to detail from Christophe's fine dining background, infuses Beeside Balcony with an easy elegance that elevates any gathering, and makes the perfect backdrop to showcase his global mediterranean menu.

    We had the best table in the house with a view of the cove. Great cocktails. Food was delicious, salad, cioppino, scallops, salmon and barramundi. Presentation of everything was beautiful. Fully enjoyed our dinner!

    Web always enjoyed dining here when we visit. Most recently we had the crab cake, jidoori chicken, and fjord salmon all delicious and perfectly prepared. Service is attentive and helpful. The location is great and the ambiance is chill. We’ll definitely be back on future visits.

    Food and service were great. We took a seat at the bar while the hostess arranged for a balcony table for us. The bartender served us quickly and made great recommendations. The food was delicious and service is good. We split the crab cake, Caesar salad and filet mignon with truffle fries. Crab cake was delicious! Filet with peppercorn sauce was the perfect entree and those were the best truffle fries I’ve had. Caesar was good but we’ll probably try something else next time. We also found a great bottle Italian wine for under $40.

    Very disappointed. Restaurant over rated. Drinks were watered down . Food was very disappointing. We ordered grilled oysters and wanted grilled oysters but they had a lot of cheese and spinach that wasn’t listed on the menu. Seafood risotto was the best fish we had.

    We did the Honey Pot speakeasy and were the only people in the back room, which was nice, however, the waitstaff definitely forgot about us and we went for about 40 minutes without seeing anyone after our first drink before we got up to go ask for help. The drinks were good, but overall just kind of disappointed with the speakeasy experience.

    What an amazing meal. Chef Christophe has mastered his craft. We enjoyed a private event that included chef Quindere of Valle Omakase and wow! French and Japanese cuisine paired beautifully together. And the honey is ethically sourced by chef Christophe! Highly recommend this restaurant.

    New place. Used to be sushi. That’s why you can get in. French flair. Mostly excellent. Booked for a family brunch of 6. Lovely server( French gal) fabulous food, veggie gyros, shrimp tacos, breakfast sandwich, and not recommended; the arugula beet salad. The great: server, breakfast egg sandwiches on brioche bun, veggie gyros on fresh pita, a full avocado, cucumber, hummus tomatoes etc. The lame: arugula beet salad with literally one slice of beet;Where the Beet?!? Iykyk. Ha Peek views, chef’s own honey from his hives. Delish. We will definitely be back! Skipping the salads:)
