    I’ve always enjoyed dining in the restaurants atop Hotel La Jolla, in their many reincarnations, going back to Elario’s, with live jazz and one of the best wine lists in Southern California. Sea and Sky, the latest, has great views over La Jolla Shores to the Pacific. We reserved one hour before sunset to enjoy some color. The June gloom rolled in, so we missed that treat. S&S offers eight starters and eight entrees. We shared the blue crab cake starter, $28, a tasty, good-sized round portion, about five inches across, with excellent crab content, trout roe, green blueberry capers, and mustard. The spicy chorizo and Manila clams starter, $28, came in a white wine, garlic, and tomato broth, and crostini for dipping, and was a little light on flavor. The daily fish, $47, halibut, a decent portion but bland, came with mashed potatoes, blistered shishito peppers, and Chinese long beans, which didn’t seem fresh. It has a decent wine by the glass list starting at $13. Corkage is $25. Service was excellent. To enjoy the setting at lower prices, visit during the daily happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m.

    Superb! Arthur and our Somalia took the most spectacular care of me and my family for dinner. We celebrated my youngest for his graduation and wanted something special to celebrate. Sea & Sky made the evening exceptional with their attentiveness, suggestions for menu selections and made sure my son was taken care of. The food was perfectly prepared and tasted amazing! We spent over two hours enjoying the food, the ambiance and just being with family. I will absolutely visit this restaurant again and again when in La Jolla. It’s definitely a keeper!

    We had a lovely sunset view table (as are many at at this venue). Service was good, though not particularly stellar. Our issue was that the food was so salty, but my wife's fish and my steak that it actually caused us both stomach issues either. Now to be fair we are low salt eaters, but I rarely make a point of commenting on something like this because it's so subjective. Also my steak was properly cooked but served almost cool. All in all we'd like to go back for a happy hour and give it a second chance as there was nothing intentionally neglected by the staff.
    Sea & SkyResponded on June 3, 2025
    Josh., thank you for sharing this feedback. The culinary team and I regret the salt challenges with your dinner. The situation you described is not the impression the colleagues aim to leave with guests. The team appreciates your comments and will carefully review them.

    The view is incredible! Go during the sunset hours and you won’t be disappointed. Food was good, octopus was a small portion and a bit over priced. Flavor was there. We went back for drinks and apps at the bar and it was great.
