   Engagement Brunch for a girl friend. The musician who played was very good! He played beautifully and had an assortment of musical selections.

   Love the view and the the Staff. However, they recently changed their menu to mostly Mexican items. Used to go go there much more often because it appealed to all. This menu does not. Sad.

    Food was good, but not great as soup could have been warmer, steak was cooked medium instead of the ordered medium-rare and sea bass was dry. Otherwise, service and ambiance was terrific during our New Year’s eve dinner. Would come back during daylight to better appreciate the views and to try other food offerings.

    Super nice view, however super expensive for such little food. The appetizer was $21 and came with maybe 10 chips total even though it was listed as a shareable. The food was really good but took an hour to get out to the table and there were only about 3 groups dining there so it was not a rush or anything. The hostess would not check on us and stayed at the bar talking with her coworkers 99% of the time and since we were waiting for over an hour for our food it would have been nice to get more water and updates about our food. Overall yes it’s a nice restaurant with nice food and nice views. However, the service was not the best and you are definitely paying for that view with $25 a plate.

    I am a La Jolla native, have been dining at your restaurant for many years and brought relatives to your restaurant that were visiting from out of town. We were disappointed that everything on the menu was Mexican. I absolutely LOVE Mexican cuisine, but feel that your menu should reflect more diversity in it's offerings.

    Open table DID NOT show this to be a buffet style meal. We booked the dinner assuming it was a regular sit down meal. When we got there it was too late to go anywhere else and there was no option other than the buffet. For a buffet it was overpriced. The staff did give us a 20% "friends and family" discount but it was still just a buffet... The main reason this was an issue is that I am wearing a brace on my right leg that makes it tough to walk and carry food back and forth!!!

    Christmas buffet may not be typical. The setting and service were good. The carving station meat was good and the carvers were great. The food on the buffet table was tired and lukewarm at best. For this I think we paid $75 person plus drinks.

    The sunset views were amazing! And the restaurant was very comfortable. Service was ok. We went on Christmas Day and didn’t know it was a buffet. It was very expensive and the food was mediocre at best. We don’t visit San Diego often and with all the dining options available, we probably won’t be back to this one.

    The location can’t be beat, but we hit the Christmas Day buffet without realizing that it would be $72 per person. There was so much food, but most of it bland and tough. The positive side is the staff, who went above and beyond to make our experience the best. A window table where we could watch the dolphins and pelicans was the delightful.

    Have been going here for Christmas Eve dinner for 20 years. Last 6-7 years really hit or miss. I called earlier in the week to be sure we were seated in main dining room with nice window view for my out of town guests. Upon arrival we were seated OUTSIDE! On a damp 46 degree night. Lucky the hostess corrected this and we’re moved to type of table I had requested. But restaurant should not have make this error to begin with. Sadly the new menu, heavy shift to Mexican flavors, was uninteresting and had little variety. Menu was also fairly limited. And when we asked for just a simple green salad or if they could make a cheeseburger we were told no exceptions made. Menu used to be more upscale and sadly now was quite casual for a nice dinner. Everyone in party agreed it was good but average. Our server was very nice unfortunately the noise level made it difficult for her to hear us and she seemed annoyed. It’s sad to see this restaurant with such a beautiful setting and so much potential go down hill.

    Experience overall was good. Susana was a great server. The food was okay. Ceviche was missing the tang. The tacos were ordinary. The soup was decent. The flan is what stood out. This place use to have poke which was really good. It’s a nice place to dine while watching the sunset. Some of the treats we have here are the; - FOOD Ceviche Seafood soup Shrimp Tacos Coconut Flan - DRINKS Spicy mango Margarita 📍@theshoresrestaurant San Diego, California *** #foodie #food #foodphotography #foodies #foodstagram #yummy #foodielife #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodieforlife #foodiefriday #foodpic #huffposttaste #yum #foodieblogger #foods #tasty #foodietribe #foodie_features #foodoftheday #eat #foodgawker #instagood #foodaholicpro #foodporn @foodaholicpro
