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.

About last night….enjoying our first evening in San Diego…Daryll, Anthony, Terria, and myself went to an awesome restaurant called JRDN. During our dining a couple was celebrating their newly engagement and we all celebrated them including a table of young people next to us. Of course, Anthony jokingly said that he was married too!! Everyone laughed😂. Later, one of the young men found out that Daryll and I have been married for 39 years. He was totally shocked. Later, he and his party left and we all shook hands - so great to meet good people! We ate an AWESOME meal and AWESOME service!!!Well at the end of our dinner, the waiter brought our check…it said $0. The guy paid our total bill which was over $200!!! The entire staff smiled and said the guy was not a regular! They couldn’t wait to see our faces! They said that he told them any couple married 39 years is to be celebrated!!! We were in TOTAL SHOCK! All we know is that his name is Nick !!! Wow!!! God blesses people to be a blessing!!! Pay it forward!!!! 🙏🏽❤️❤️

The service was terrible. Our waiter never checked on us and was rude. He wasn’t even able to come back to the table and a fellow coworker had to check us out. It was extremely loud. If you’re looking for a young, rowdy atmosphere and mediocre food, you e come to the right place. The only awesome part is the view!
