George's Ocean Terrace - Restaurant Review
George’s Ocean Terrace reminds us all that there’s a big difference between eating outside and dining seaside. Occupying prime rooftop real estate upstairs from George’s California Modern, Ocean Terrace invites guests to settle in for a casual yet inspired experience of breathtaking views, invigorating libations, off-the-docks fresh seafood, and from the farm tantalizing entrees. Executive Chef and partner Trey Foshee handles his menu with care and discretion, emphasizing fresh and locally sourced ingredients, ensuring that each ingredient complements the overall flavor profile of the dish. Given that La Jolla boasts practically picture-perfect weather all year long, it makes sense that George’s Ocean Terrace consistently gets voted San Diego’s “Most Popular Restaurant” by Zagat Survey. Pair your visit to George’s Ocean Terrace with one of their house-infused cocktails and take a long sip of Southern California perfection.

Studio Diner

The Studio Diner is a true local’s paradise; conveniently located in the Kearney Mesa Business District, this deliciously nostalgic eatery serves up heaping helpings of classic American fare with a gourmet twist 24-hours-a-day. Clad in chrome and gleaming with 1940s charm, film-making equipment graces the dining area and celebrates the restaurant’s ongoing relationship with television. The only thing that can steal the spotlight from the Diner’s cool décor is its impressively lengthy and satisfying menu. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be savored any time – from omelets to East Coast classics, the Diner aims to please. Menu favorites include the Lobster Roll, the Lox-Ness Monster (Lox and cream cheese), and the Samson’s Steak Sandwich. And to wash it all down, try a childhood favorite malty milkshake or a more mature audience-oriented adult beverage.
