"Grab an outdoor seat at this elegant La Jolla institution and soak in the stellar views—the patio is perched high enough to study the nooks and crannies of Torrey Pines Golf Course and a sliver of the Pacific Ocean. The food could be terrible and we’d still come here for the atmosphere, but the menu is simple, good, and a little bit luxurious. It rotates often, but expect dishes like chicken on a bed of vibrant cavolo nero (that’s fancy talk for Tuscan kale) and spaghetti with chanterelle and black trumpet mushrooms mixed in.
