We were staying at LaValencia Hotel, down the street, and a valet recommended George's. Has a fantastic view. We sat at the bar and met some fun people. Drinks were served by a friendly and knowledgeable bartender. Definitely would like to go

Amazing food and atmosphere and well worth the price!! I highly highly recommend the foccaccia bread and half chicken. The service was on point and I recommend going here if you are in La Jolla!!!

The food was really great, the service was wonderful, and the view was just breathtaking. Unfortunately I don't live here and was just in the area for a conference but if I end up back in the area again I'll be sure to stop by here. We had

Beautiful views but the food has gone way down hill!! Our mussels had to be sent back, they were fishy and we could hardly swallow down one and the Caesar salad was incredibly salty. The dessert was clearly made days ago. Just not a good experience a
I went here for Restaurant Week today.
The food was terrible except the Cesar salad. Our server was Reed. He was nice at first but was rude at the end. Before we ordered our food we let him know 3 times we wanted separate checks. He kept saying ok. When it was time to pay the check he bro

Fabulous evening at George's that offers breathtaking sunset views! Strongly recommend making reservation in advance. The server Hank was friendly and humorous. He made sure we enjoyed the birthday celebration. Our parents loved the food espec
Had a 11:30am reservation, arrived a little early.
Checked in with the front host lady, who informed me after inquiring that the whole party must be here to be seated. No problem, I sat in some chairs near the hostess stand that were in the sun. After some time, I asked if it was possible to be s
My sister in law and I took a girls trip to San Diego.
We ended up here and loved everything about this place. The black bean soup was to die for! We only ordered bar food and drinks but enjoyed every moment here and the people we met while watching the sun set.

Follow up 9/2025, it's been a few years since we've been back but this was definitely a different experience- Originally I thought I was making reservations for the top deck like last time. Come to find out I was downstairs when I arrived.
Holy smokes incredibly mid food.
It tasted like it was good quality but the lack of seasoning was alarming. The ONLY saving grace was the service, the waiter we had was so indubitably goated. I didn't catch his name but get this man a raise ASAP

I know most people come here for the view so if you come at anytime other than day, DON'T. It's kind of just a void of black at night and that leaves nothing to make up for the food. Not terrible by any means. $27 for below olive garden lev

My husband and I were recommended George's by a local who told us we had to stop here while we were in La Jolla. The food was tasty and the presentation was modern and beautiful. You have a direct view of La Jolla Cove. But our server, Reed, ga

I have been going to Georges for over 35 years and once again took a visitor there for lunch on a spectacular day in early September. There is nothing to compare with the roof top view anywhere! However, we both ordered the fish tacos which were ta

tl;dr come here if you're looking for a view, food selection is limited and ok. be prepared for a stench during sea lion season primarily came here for a sunset dinner as they're known for their view. from that aspect george's did not
Delicious food with an unforgettable view
Delicious. Had mussels, rock fish tacos, cream brulee. Mussels has fresh sour dough bread, great for dipping in the coconut green curry mussel sauce. Rock fish tacos with all fresh ingredients. I've never had rock fish. I am from coastal Alabama
The view remains beautiful, the service remains excellent.
The bright sunshine hitting the sea creates a soothing, sparkling water. The sound of the waves and the call of seals fill the air, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while dining--that's the restaurant's greatest charm. However, I&

Rare finding a restaurant that consistently delivers on its promise of fresh food, great atmosphere, and kind service. The sunset is unrivaled. The tasty food nearly as amazing. I've had the pleasure of visiting George's twice inside two

Georges at the Cove was one of my favorite restaurants in La Jolla. Though my prior dining events were at its formal dining area (California Modern), I recently tried its Ocean Terrace a few times. It's casual and not expensive, but nice for o
Beautiful view and good food
The upstairs, outside seating area overlooks the cove and the view is fantastic. The hostess was very nice and accommodating. The waiter was also very friendly and efficient. There are not a lot of food choices, but what we ordered tasted great. Th
Confusing reservation process led to less romantic meal.rhan we wanted
Recently ate dinner at this restaurant. When we made the reservation, I did not understand that the upcharge for "table with the better view" was really a deposit toward minimum price of the meal.. so we didn't pay the upcharge and wer
Couldn’t have been better!
Everything was perfect, from the waitstaff to the view to the food. couldn’t have found a better place for lunch! Prices were also quite reasonable.
Only good thing...the view
I'll start with the positive...the view overlooking The Cove. And that's where it begins and ends. Service was eh...I'd say poor. Food was average at best and extremely pricey. The tiled lime green wall on the back of the building is d
Overpriced and underwhelmed
Visited the rooftop bar and had the worst cocktails ever! $69 for 3 drinks and pretty straightforward: margarita and mojitos. Mojitos were not even muddled at all - full sprigs of mint and lime wedges sitting on top; tasted awful. Clearly you’re pa
Views at Sunset
Some fantastic views across the bay towards Torrey Pines, and a frontline table providing a sunset experience. Unfortunately, I found the menu a bit limited and the meal a little forgettable; the octopus probably should have been sent back given that
Disappointing touristy restaurant with a view.
Very average, touristy restaurant with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food was average and the drinks were not great. Might be a good spot for a drink before going somewhere else.
Burger with a view
I honestly did not think we would get a table. They stop seating at 2:30 to start preparing for dinner service. We could have walked in and sat at the bar or along the wall. But come on, we came for the view and my friend who been before, the best

Ordered fish tacos and got halfway through one when I noticed green mold spots on both tortillas. Manager came over and told me he "thinks" it is part of the tortilla mix. I am from Texas and eat corn tortillas multiple times a week - I hav
I had lunch at George's at the Cove today.
It's a brunch restaurant on the beach in San Diego. I heard it's very busy, but I went there today and it was not as crowded as I imagined. I also booked a table on the beach in advance on Google. But you have to pay a deposit to book a table on the
Service was dreadful.
Slow. Unresponsive. Table was covered in dust and dirt. It used to be a nice place for a special dinner, but since they made the lower floor available only to special events there is no option for an elegant dinner experience. The food was complete
Beyond bad service, would rather eat from the trash than go
Beyond bad service, would rather eat from the trash than go to this place. Makes me feel out of place, honestly the worst place to go in my opinion !
Fantastic high quality restaurant.
The view is the best part of the experience! Food is great but so are many other places in the area. Nothing stood out to us in our party of 4, but just good dishes all around. The wait staff was very friendly and professional.
Appetizers were okay but the yellowtail and mushroom
Appetizers were okay but the yellowtail and mushroom bologne were amazing. We were sat next to the balcony so it was an amazing view!
Just depends on the weather.
It was ok food was good but not spectacular. And it was cloudy so no sunset.

Loved it as did the folks I took who had never been to La Jolla before. They were from South Florida and asked about taking a swim. I said of course, just jump off the cliff and hop in the Pacific. We'll have the heaters running for you as you shive
Met up with my cousins for dinner.
It's been a few years, since I've ate here, so it was nice to see what was new on their menu and also the view of the La Jolla shores is always a plus. As we were waiting for our cousin and her husband, my other cousin and I waited at the bar. The s
Bizarre experience.
Briefly: This place was highly recommended by a dear friend. Considering my friend choice I had high expectation about this restaurant. I did made reservation online and was requested 300 USD secure down payment for party of two with a 50 USD premi
Average Dinner
After hearing some great reviews my family went for a nice dinner on the patio. In a word--meh...the food was just average and the service was definitely on the slower side. It was a cooler evening and the heaters on the patio are not that efficien
Good view of the roof top
Very good restaurant on the top roof. Excellent food and gut atmosphere. Although we did not get a seat in front. instaed we sat on the bar and it was great
Great lunch spot!
This was a really nice and quaint place to eat lunch! The food was exceptional with a variety to choose from! We really enjoyed our lunch as we overlooked the Pacific Ocean!
Delicious food and beautiful view!
The food and atmosphere were excellent. We started with appetizers and loved the guacamole and salsa as well as the fried shrimp with a delicious sauce. I had the Fish Tacos and my friend had the Tuna salad sandwich. Both were so good! We will defini

My daughter and I had dinner here and sat both at the rooftop bar and then inside for dinner as it was February and a bit chilly out. The best thing this place has going for it is the view from the rooftop bar. The cocktails are dull. The "insi
Chilly experience
All dining is outdoors, something we understood, but it was not very comfortable. Basic tables and heating elements were fixed so they could not be moved any closer. Everyone was provided a blanket for laps which was helpful, but for the cost and v
People of color shouldn’t go here
While the Atmosphere is extremely beautiful. If you are a person of color. I would strongly recommend not going here. I was sitting at the bar having a conversation with an older white gentleman that lived in the area as he was telling me about the

The location was so amazing! I actually booked my reservation on open table and when I got there they told me they did not have my reservation, I looked up my email and it showed me that They cancelled my reservation a few hours before we got there.
Horrible experience, I would never return back. Food is average, overrated, horrible attitude with a service, the manage
I was there two weeks ago on Thursday!!! I went there at 3:30pm and tried to make a reservation for 6pm. The hostess said there is no reservation just walk in, its open sitting, well that was a lie already. So we walked back at 5:30pm. I said I woul

Amazing view
The food was overpriced for what it was. Quality was lacking. You go here for the view not the food. Wait staff were lovely

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to George's at the Cove San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the George's at the Cove San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at George's at the Cove San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at George's at the Cove San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
