"Celebrating its 40th year, this La Jolla institution is overseen by chef-partner Trey Foshee and executive chef Masa Kojima. Known for its seasonally minded cuisine and equally impressive views, take your pick for dining at Ocean Terrace (an open-air rooftop venue) or Level2 (a covered open-air bar area). Diners can’t go wrong with any of the seafood options on the menu, but favorites include the albacore tataki, mussels, and local rockfish tacos topped with mango salsa and crisp cabbage (the latter served for lunch). Reservations are encouraged, especially at sunset." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
