Wonderful service! Great food!
What a great afternoon lunch! We sat outside and enjoyed the tomato soup, a sandwich, and a couple of stiff cocktails. Torrey Pines golf course is immaculate this time of year with Farmers Insurance Open coming up and I love the view of the course from the patio at The Grill.

The Grill at the Torrey Pines Lodge has been our choice of dining experiences for special occasions for several years. We don’t mind being charged above average prices because whatever we are celebrating warrants the cost. That said, our recent experience has changed our opinions. The food and service were sub-par to say the least. When you pay $200 for lunch for 6 (with no cocktails, appetizer or desserts) I think it is unreasonable to expect the food to be served hot and fresh and not to have every man at the table be addressed as “boss”. Suffice it to say in the future we’ll be looking for someplace else to do our celebrating.
We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a five-star dining experience with us, as that is the standard of service we hold ourselves to. We appreciate your feedback, Mrs. B, and have shared it with management. We hope you allow us the opportunity to welcome you back.
What a great view and atmosphere at the Grill. Food was amazing as well as service. We will definitely be back and is a must try if are in town. Plus the view of the Golfing at Torrey and the Ocean is second to none.
We are glad to hear that you had a great dining experience at The Grill at Torrey Pines, and we appreciate your 5-star review. Thank you for your feedback about our menu offerings, excellent staff service, and the sweeping views of the iconic Torrey Pines Golf Course. Please come back to dine with us again sometime when you have the opportunity.
The Grill was pleasant and cozy for New Year's Eve 2021 (and also extremely reasonable cost-wise). The prix fixe meal had great choices, and my chosen Seared Ahi Tuna in a celery root sauce with tarragon was one of the best ahi dishes I ever have had. Service was very solicitous and enjoyable. We had a memorable time!
We are so glad to have been a memorable part of your New Year's Eve celebration, Dara. It sounds like you very much enjoyed our menu offerings. We're glad you celebrated at The Grill at Torrey Pines, and we look forward to having you dine with us again. Thank you for your 5-star rating and Happy New Year!
We went for the NYE prixe fixe menu, and the entire menu was outstanding. Service was not super attentive, but that’s understandable considering so many places are short-staffed and we’re still in a pandemic. Overall, though, everything was great, and I’m looking forward to dining here again.
We appreciate hearing about your New Year's Eve experience, RG29. Thank you for your positive feedback about our menu selections. We hope you will dine with us again soon!
Food was average for the location. They shouldn’t try to do anything fancy. Maybe just stick to bar food.
We appreciate your feedback, Grace. We're sorry you were disappointed with the menu selections. Thank you, and we hope you will dine with us again.
Excellent good and service.
Taryn, we appreciate your 5-star review of The Grill at Torrey Pines. We're glad you enjoyed the cuisine and service and hope to see you again.
The flavors were great. One of the best hanger steaks ever
We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back again soon!
Server was excellent. First course shrimp, crab and avocado cocktail was okay. Bread had clearly been sliced and left sitting out for a long time. Old fashioned cocktail was classic and great. Issue is repeatedly the main course. They have one steak on the menu and their definition of medium well results in still bloody, red juices. I can't believe it.
Food was delicious
Thanks, Mikifoodie, for your 5-star rating of The Grill at Torrey Pines. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your meal and we hope you will dine with us again soon.
The location and the views of the golf course are pretty. The food is good, but it doesn’t have that “OMG” effect, when you feel like reaching climax…Anyways; the waitress was super nice and attentive. I went for breakfast and had omelette with salmon, which tasted very good. The French toast was good as well. I think the place is ideal if you’re on a date and want to go something different. But if you want to eat delicious food without spending much money, I would go somewhere else.
Thank you for your candid review. We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. We hope you will dine with us again and give us another chance to impress you.
The staff is just amazing and the food is quite good.
Thank you for your positive feedback and 5-star review of The Grill at Torrey Pines, Jaclyn. We're glad that your meal and service were so enjoyable. We look forward to you dining with us again.
As out of town guests we were very happy with our meal. Starters included calamari and ceviche. Very well prepared and beautiful presentation. My crispy skin Scottish salmon was a surprise made with a broth and added garbanzo beans. Husband loved his hanger steak. You feel pampered and looked after the entire time. Can’t wait to return.
Pamela, we are thrilled to hear about your dining experience at The Grill at Torrey Pines. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our delicious menu offerings and that you were well attended to. We look forward to hosting you again
Restaurant is nice. Appetizer was good. Server did not really understand menu, which seemed odd. Chicken was underdone and tasted metallic. Mentioned to server and received "sorry about that" and nothing more. I understand that good restaurant help may be hard to find, but this seems to be a larger problem. Will think twice before returning, which is too bad as this was an good place.
Thank you for taking the time to review The Grill at Torrey Pines, Bill. We strive to provide a positive experience for our guests, and it seems like we missed the mark on this one. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back with an improved experience.

Torrey Pines Lodge Grill is always my favorite. Food is wonderful and views of ocean and golf course are supreme! They are building the seating for the soon to come golf open tournament. Fun to watch all the goings on! The onion rings are always the the best! Everyone loved their entree.. Thank you for the continued top of the line service. I am back on the 26, upstairs for family dinner.

Hike at Torrey Pine Reserve and then walk over an have breakfast is always great. Make a reservation because it is crowded on the weekends. Great view and consistently good breakfast. Service can fluctuate as far as server attentiveness but the food and atmosphere make up for it.

IT WAS A LOVELY LUNCH. THE REUBEN SANDWICH HAD A LOT OF FAT ON THE MEAT SO IT WAS HARD TO EAT. THE MEAT SHOULD BE CUT UP BETTER AND ELIMINATE THE FATTY PART OF THE MEAT.
Thank you for your feedback, Alison. We appreciate it and the 5-star review of The Grill at Torrey Pines. We look forward to you dining with us again.
Excellent food and service. Can’t beat the top notch view!

Excellent meal. High end food in a relaxed, low key “lodge” environment. Great cocktail and wine list. Our server Kenny was superb!
Your 5-star review of The Grill at Torrey Pines means a lot to us, Douglas. Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed The Grill's menu choices. The Grill embraces the nostalgia of cooking over an open fire with sweeping views of the iconic Torrey Pines Golf Course. We hope you return to enjoy another memorable and relaxed meal.
The food was delicious, which was the saving grace. The first round of cocktails came in a rocks glass that was barely half-full. Would have assumed this is how they serve them, but the second round came out with a proper full-glass pour which made it seem as though we were short changed on the first round. Unfortunately, the waiter was VERY slow, often not visiting the table for up to 20 minutes before we had even completed our order. The most bothersome part is you can tell the waiter simply needed floor training. He would consistently visit other tables in his station and not look up once at his other tables. He had tunnel vision and it made for a choppy experience. We even spilled a glass of water at the table and took over 10 minutes for someone to notice and bring us a towel. Also, the calamari was VERY, and I mean VERY salty to the point we sent it back. unfortunately the waiter was so out of it, he left it on the bill. I asked him if he meant to do that and he immediately said no, and adjusted the bill. Great food, weak service!
Thank you for your review of your most dining experience, Brian. While we're glad to hear that, for the most part, you enjoyed your meal, we are sorry to hear of your less than satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies.
