Food scene

Beautiful view of La Jolla Cove while enjoying tasty food! We love going for brunch, and highly recommend getting their “Coast Toast”, which is a soufflé-like French toast. Tasty drink and mimosa options too!

This place is usually a little busy, and I recommend verifying it is actually open before going, but the ramen is top notch! There is a reason it gets busy! Or you can DoorDash it to the house and it tastes just as good at home!

We absolutely love taking friends and family to Boiling Crab for some tasty food! Our go-to order is always 1 pound of shrimp, a piece of corn, and sausage with the Whole Shebang sauce (mild for me, XXX for my husband), with a side of rice and Cajun fries! It comes out in a bag with the tasty sauce and seafood altogether, and then you can get as messy as you want while eating!

Wow, incredible Japanese BBQ food! It’s such a fun experience, especially if you’ve never done Japanese BBQ before. Very similar to Korean BBQ where you cook the thinly sliced meat in front of you, plus some fun options for dessert!

Drinks & Nightlife

This place is awesome! They have really good cider beer; and not the Angry Orchard kind haha. Plus there are a lot of other breweries in this same complex, so it's perfect to go and check-out multiple places.
