Wonderful experience. Glad I arrived early, had a table by the Christmas 🎄 Tree 😍

Beautiful setting. It was foggy and cold so we wanted to sit inside. The inside seating was not available because of a special event so we sat in the bar. The table was pretty small but the view was great. We had to get up and ask for someone to take our order. They also did not bring our bill and again we had to go to the bar and ask for our bill. The staff were pleasant when you could find them.

We loved everything about our experience at lunch yesterday.
My husband and our friend said that it was the best burger they have eaten.
The crab in the seafood cocktail was dry and difficult to eat, but I didn't care.

the view is an outstanding and nice location outside to walk around.

Amazing! Great service and view

We are locals and have been going to La Valencia for more years than most people are old. They place a lot of emphasis on excellence - this evening was an exception. Having reservations for a while - one would expect to be seated in the main dining room -no we were seated outside on the balcony. One if the first courses- a seafood plate - was no longer available at 6:30?!?! Who us planning here? The turkey was tough… nothing remotely like home style. Should have stayed home.
Sorry but that’s the story!

Beautiful restaurant with great views. You’re going here for the setting. Food was good as well.

We had just arrived, that day, and I invited my California family to eat dinner with me. It was perfect in every way; beautiful evening, Christmas lights along the rail, warm heater and very pleasant, great service! Lovely evening!!

I was touring San Diego and reversed this place for lunch. The view there is amazing. Food was delicious. Their service was friendly too. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Always a lovely experience at LaValencia. Classic ambience and wonderful service. You just don't get that great service as often anymore. Great brunch and cocktails after in the garden.

We had the best table with panoramic ocean views. The food was delicious. The service was OK but could have been more attentive. I will be back again!

We had a reservation and requested to sit outside and had a short wait of under 10 minutes. The receptionist was very pleasant and our server was very nice too. The view was great of course. My wife had the chorizo Benedict which was one of the house specials for brunch and loved it. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were very good too.
Overall we were very happy with the food, service,and ambiance.

Amazing sunset views, great service. Only drawback is the very small and simple menu.

Anniversary. Our waiter was awesome!
Served us a glass of complimentary Champaign, was attentive polite and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the experience. Ended with gratis desert as well. Great experience amd the musics performer was wonderfully talented! We will be back!

Was excellent I would return I wanted to play with a view but there was no view

Good service but did not enjoy food too much. Salmon smelled fishy. Butter cake was good.
Wish I'd gone to another restaurant for our dinner.

Great ambience and very good service. The mahi-mahi sandwich had too little fish, too much sauce and to large a slice of pineapple to be in the right ratio for the amount of fish.

Very limited and ok-ish breakfast menu. We had steak with eggs and chorizo Benedict, neither was fantastic. Just ok. The view was great. Service was good.

How does a well meaning $19 turkey sandwich with bacon, avocado and cheese and accompanied by fries turn into a $35 extravaganza? Here's how. First, I guess we should ask how a highly regarded Girard Gourmet does it fo $9.75 on your choice of bread (no choice at LaV). The fries were included at LaV, so there's that difference. Truffle fries are an up charge. But the view from the patio overlooking the ocean is outstanding. If you split the sandwich that's another $5 and they will add a 5% on top surcharge to "help cover increasing labor costs and in support of recent increases in minimum wage..." Don't recall that at a host of other La Jolla restaurants. Service was s-l-o-o-w. A request for mustard took 15 minutes. So the well meaning turkey sandwich was now about $30.50 plus 15% tip for the underpaid waiter that requires LaV to add a 5% spiff, and that is how your well meaning $19 turkey sandwich becomes $35. Overall, you can't argue with the view, but service is slow. Inside dining has not resumed. The day we were there the patio had a few tables, but that's all. We will not be gobbling up a $35 turkey sandwich again soon.

Great all around! Thanks!

Beautiful view while enjoying a delicious breakfast.

Absolutely outstanding! Can't wait to go back again soon!

Friend and I had a wonderful time. Food was great ... blt with turkey and avocado. Wait staff even moved heaters and gave us pink throws in patio to ward off chill of ocean breeze. Very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful setting with old world charm.

Hot entrees were cold when served. Basically it’s the former restaurant with a few tables in it now, more of a lounge.

Wonderful!!

3rd dinner there since returning to SD last year. Place dead, but Food good, service off, not offered their yummy bread & we had to ask another nearby server as yummy bland soup arrived, it came minutes later…luckily we left 1/3 soup so we could dip into it. Instructions for wife’s “surprise” Bday dessert destroyed by Server too…correct, a secret & surprise. Don’t blab about it to her before…correct. Lovely airy patio.

We arrived early to watch the sunset from the bar area. I waited close to 15 minutes for someone to come clear the table and no one ever did so my husband went to the bar and asked if this was self service this evening. The bar tender sent someone to our table and we were able to order drinks and an appetizer. My husband attempted to break the ice with our server and he did not respond to our attempts at casual conversation but he was more than willing to engage with the the young women at the table next to us.. it was nearly impossible to get a second round of drinks and it was a slow evening at the bar and the restaurant. After drinks, we were seated for dinner. We were there to celebrate my son’s birthday which I indicated on the reservation. No one acknowledged his birthday …. Not even a simple happy birthday. I wasn’t looking for free food or a song or dance just an acknowledgment.

On a brighter note, the food was delicious…. And the views were spectacular which is why we continue to go there…..

Another delicious brunch at The Med in the La Valencia Hotel

We love La Valencia and come here whenever we are in town. The ambiance of this place is gorgeous. The food was delicious, as always, and the service is consistently excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

All in all a great meal. The server was very nice and all staff accommodating. View was incredible. Would definitely return.

It’s not even close to the expectation nor is it warranted based upon the price. Extremely disappointed and the food was awful, especially for the amount we paid.

Had a lovely afternoon, I would definitely recommend and hope to return for Brunch soon!

Lovely, amazing food, beautiful view

We noted on our reservation it was our anniversary, no acknowledgment. Service was friendly but a bit slow. We requested bread service, the waiter ordered it to come with our meal, never received. The cocktails were delicious. Grilled salmon overcooked and very salty. BUT, the view is to die for, so we will return every chance we get.

Wonderful place two grandmothers to celebrate their mutual 78th birthdays. Our kind of food, music, service, and view. The flatbread appetizer was marvelous as were our salad. And we were offered a delightful free dessert to celebrate.

Great! place to enjoy a meal, especially out on the terrace during daylight hours, with the spectacular view. Breakfast dishes we had were quite good, and service was very good too. Highly recommended.

Server and service was very nice, not necessarily exceptional, expected more from what I consider a "high end" hotel/restaurant. Food arrived at the table cold-ish, salmon was WAY undercooked . . . did I order sashimi?

Overall I would have been VERY disappointed but had a wonderful time because of the view-the view made it a wonderful evening!

Everything from food to service terrific.
However it was a very windy and chilly evening and we had to ask for extra heaters to be turned on to be comfortable dining outside which was accommodated as soon as we finally asked.

Fantastic service! Love the food here. The seafood is fresh and the main courses are excellent!

Amazing view. Good ambiance.
