Nice meal and environment for a family get together. Service was prompt, attentive, and food was prepared well. We had mussels with chorizo, calamari, short rib, and the snapper.

We had 7:30 reservations, but arrived 30 minutes early. We asked to be seated along the glass wall and said that we were willing to wait. The hostess said that it was ok and she had a table for us. When we got to the table it was along the glass, but in front of a delivery type entrance way in the back of the restaurant and out of the cool vibe. We said never mind and that we would wait for a better table. The young girl hostess said to wait at the table while she could see what can be done. We waited 5 minutes and finally went up to the hostess stand where I believe the manager was there also. We asked the manager how long for a table along the glass and she said about 60 -90 minutes. I said ok we have a reservation at 7:30 anyway so we would wait at the bar. That’s when the manager said “oh, you have a reservation?” She turned to the young hostess and said to seat us at table 101 which turned out to be arguably the best table in the restaurant. The young hostess seemed to be less than happy to be seating us there. Oh well. Food was good. Drinks were good. The only issue was that we were served our entrees half way through our apps. But you can’t beat the views! All in all we enjoyed our time at JRDN.

Beautiful Friday night at the beach. We had a lot of fun looking at the ocean and people watching on the boardwalk. The food was good. My husband had the grilled salmon and it was very nice. My sushi roll was great. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. The big problem was the noise level. There was a special event up stairs on the terrace with very loud music. It seem to be amplified down to the restaurant area. It was hard to talk and enjoy the beautiful day. We mentioned it to our server and he was sympathetic. He said other tables had also complained to him. When we left we asked the hostess if this was something the venue was doing every Friday. She seemed annoyed and shoved a list of upcoming events at us. I can recommend this place but I would call ahead to make sire that no events were planned for the evening.

About as upscale as you will find in Pacific Beach, which is filled with small, very casual beach eateries. This restaurant is part of a nice contemporary hotel right on the beach. Outdoor seating areas are protected from the ocean breezes with glass barriers and from the sun with umbrellas. Parking is a big challenge in PB, but JRDN has covered valet parking that is available and free for the first two hours. Ambiance is simple contemporary with an upscale look. Menu is diverse but a bit limited. This is welcome given so many junk food places in the area. Wait staff is attentive and the restaurant handles food allergies appropriately. We had an enjoyable lunch experience at this picturesque location.
