Level2 - George's at the Cove

I had dinner here and it was outstanding. I ordered the pork chop dinner and it was delicious. Very tasty and tender. I asked for some adjustments (i.e. mashed potatoes instead of quinoa) and it was made with no problems. Our server was very attentive. The only drawback was that we had seats overlooking the ocean but it was too dark to see the ocean. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed dinner there.

Birthday celebration with friends-great service. Wonderful waitress

Food and atomsphere were nice, but service was not great. Brought our entrees before we had a chance to order our wine.

We had a reservation for 3:15 but managed to get into town early and dropped by around 1:15. They were able to get us in right away. Beautiful view and good food and service. (The Mai Tai was awesome). A little pricey for lunch, but would still go back.

Friend visiting from Europe so we wanted to take him somewhere special. Great food and service!

Outstanding lunch overlooking La Jolla Cove. Service was impeccable. Ambience incredible. Try any of the flower or spice themed cocktails, my wife and I each had two. They were delicious! If you like bourbon, the Elder was particularly good. You cannot be disappointed if you choose to have lunch at George's Level II!!

We enjoyed our meals and the views.

Had lunch at the Terrace Level (instead of Level 2 where we had reservation); good food ... fantastic view; recommended !

Third time at George’s. Four of us enjoyed four different entrees. Everyone enjoyed them.

Awesome views, great service and good food. Highly recommend this visit be on your short list.

My husband and I came to La Jolla for a few nights and our friend referred us to come check Georges out. We were seated immediately. The server was very nice and was able to answer my questions about the drinks. My husband says that his old fashioned was the best one he has ever had, and my husband has had many from a lot of different restaurants and bars. So we enjoyed a couple drinks and some calamari during their happy hour. Their calamari was the best we have ever had! Fresh, the breading was light and flavorful. We were on level two and seated by the window. The view was beautiful. You could see the cove. The birds, the seals playing. It was amazing. The way they have the seats staggered is awesome though because you do not need a window seat to be able to look out at the water. Every seat can get the amazing view. We will definitely be back!

The setting is lovely and I suppose that’s what you pay for. I did not care for the super short skirts on both the dismissive hostess and our very pregnant waitress. Rather inappropriate. The food was OK, not great.

Nice meal. Good service. Table view was okay.

Food was delicious and service was prompt and courteous. I have another reservation for the 18th of October for lunch.

Generally will eat here at least 1x per year while traveling in but this time was disappointing. Skirt steak was rare and stringy so had to send it back to cook it at least medium rare. Hostess/server staff were not friendly throughout plus construction underway was the death of the meal. I realize things happen from time to time but overall a bad experience.

What a waste! The noise level was beyond tolerable! There was a Bachelorette gathering of at least 20 women in the main room that made so much noise that I could hardly hear my wife talking to me less than two feet away across the table. Management must have decided that the money made on a group of young, noisy women was worth upsetting the rest of the customers! Will not go back the experience was so bad.

Beyond Burger is good but it's nothing like the impossible Burger!

Excellent service, food and ambiance. The view was amazing. A big thank you to our waitress for ensuring a great experienced for my Mom and me. Thank you!

Delicious food, wonderful and friendly service and an absolutely gorgeous view!

Here for a conference and set up reservations for 2. We ended up bringing 2 colleagues and they were so kind to accommodate with a larger table. The view, service and good were amazing and fast. I also got a nice candle and bottle of Olive Oil for my birthday!

There were three dining and all of us thought the food was quite tasty. The view of La Jolla cove is extraordinary. Though we made a reservation for Level 2, we were not happy with the seating options (backless stools) so we ate in the top level area. The ambiance was not as nice as Level 2, but comfortable and great view.

There was an overwhelming garbage odor due to open bins quite near the entry that was just foul and could be smelled in the restaurant. How they could stand not to address that is completely confusing to me.

While many flock to the top deck level, the Level2 is more intimate and better protected from the sun. The food is the same as the other levels and the patio offers the same views of the La Jolla Cove. The service was great and our tacos perfectly prepared. The prices are reasonable and the food and service exceptional.

Great food and super view

Birthday celebration. Food & drinks are over priced. View is great but food are not recommended.

Server was attentive but not very helpful. Food was mediocre. Corkage was excessive. Noise was very annoying.

My family and I were celebrating my birthday at lunch/brunch time.
George’s 2nd level is the place to go for special occasion. The views are spectacular. The Hand-Made cocktails add a special touch that makes George’s stand out from the other restaurants around the area. Each drink is a fabulous creation.
Then there is the food. Each sandwich/salad is beautifully crafted and will send your tastebuds to a delectable level. We also indulged in the wonderful desserts. Sharing was very hard.
If you are in La Jolla, your visit won’t be complete unless you dine at George’s 2nd level.

I WANTED TO CHANGE MY RESERVATION AND I COULDN’T AND THE RESTAURANT WAS HALF EMPTY. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, VERY NORMAL FACILITIES, I EXPECTED BETTER.

Great service... delicious food But... I made this reservation to celebrate my daughters 30th Birthday... noted it in my comments, called to again let the restaurant know... stopped at the restaurant earlier in the day and reminded them.
No acknowledgement of her birthday... completely disappointed

View is amazing, food is just ok and the decor and cleanliness needs a lot of work.

They didn’t have any breakfast/brunch options for Sunday at 11am reservation.

Love this place. Incredible views, one of the best meals we’ve ever had and fantastic service.

Our lunch was fun - interesting salads and sandwiches. Nice view of the ocean if you get a table by the window. Our table was in the back, but it was still very nice.

Birthday lunch for a friend

Loved it as I always do but its too bad the traffic is so bad getting there!Also the smell from the seals or something is not good, Hopefully these things will get taken care of !

Great view and a delicious meal. The staff provided great service and was very welcoming.

We were looking forward to a dinner here unfortunately it turned out to be not at all what we had expected. Many of the people working here have an attitude (except the bartenders who were nice, and friendly). The “attitude” makes the experience less than it could be. The food was simply ok, nothing great though so I could not recommend based on that. There are many better places to dine and spend your time, and many of those are less expensive! Plus there is a note on the bill that they add 4% to cover employee expenses!!! Insulting and it makes the prices they show on the menu false. If you were honest, you would Raise your prices to cover the cost, reduce your profit, or adjust the number of employees. This is a ridiculous practice. Will not return or recommend.

Average food, stunning view.

Made reservations 10 days in advance requested table and at last minute moved me to downstairs table. Never go back.

Fabulous view over the cove in great weather is unbeatable. Lovely staff.
