The food and staff were nice, but the 20% tip they auto-included and did not inform us about was not. There was only 8 of us and when we were presented a tip button with 7,5, and 3% at the end before getting our bill, we were not informed there was an additional 20% tip automatically applied. Borderline fraud if you ask me. More

we just passed by this restaurant and it tasted amazing and made our day great! the onion rings under the lamb shanks were the best we ever had. the battered shrimp was also crispy and fresh. the spicy pasta could have used a little more depth but the pasta sauce was great to go with the bread on the side More

  • Tatum Picha

Nice, casual sports bar in town. They had good food and good service. My husband and I shared Parmesan fries, a Cesar salad and a bbq chicken pizza. It was all good in our opinion and we’d recommend this spot especially if you’re wanting to watch a game. They definitely had a lot of tvs! More

Visiting La Jolla, we ate here twice. Conveniently located to our hotel. Atmosphere was okay, gets louder as evening sets in. Service was exceptional. Food was great. Vegan burger, battered fish, halibut were great tasting. I loved the sweet potato fries. Would recommend and visit again More

  • Alec Almond

Good food, huge selection. I had the lamb burger, which had blue cheese and marinaded onions on it, delicious. My father had a piece of sea bass and my son a bacon burger. Place has been around since 1978 and a restaurant has been in the building since 1915… definitely going back here More

  • Alisha Kamat

Good food! The MahiMahi tacos were great. We tried the French Onion soup and the Bacon Chicken Alfredo as well, which were good too. Portion size is big. Good and quick service even though it was quite busy (we went on Thanksgiving Day with other restaurants closed). More

  • Lorie Teel

This place was so fun. We were seated quickly, where we chose to sit next to the fire. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered fish and chips. Rhe fish was tender, fresh, and hot. They let me trade out the "chips" for onion rings that were so delicious. More

  • LC Abarca

Over the weekend we stayed in the ❤️ of La Jolla. We discovered this place and it didn't disappoint. So many options to choose. Daughter ordered wings and son the individual stuffed pepperoni Hubby and I tried the lobster soup and split

  • Alison Alva (Deadpurple7)

It was a great last-minute brunch. My boyfriend and I ended up just getting the soup of the day "Seafood Soup" and French Onion Soup since we were hungover. New Year's . I also ordered the Sweet Potato fries and a beer on tap. All around

Hidden gem! Well, it’s in plain sight really but we overlooked it several times. This place is drool worthy casual luxury. The menu is HUGE! Enjoy the indoor freshly remodeled bar and grill vibe or the ambiance of the cove nightlife in the

My wife and I absolutely LOVE the cuban sandwiches here. By far the best we have ever tasted. The first time we came here we had happened to pass by this place on accident; which looks very average, and decided to give it a try and wow the

  • Stacy Foster

Great food, clean place with an A rating on the window & a great atmosphere. Our server Kim was very attentive without being over the top. Food came out quickly but I could tell it was made to order. Everything we ordered was great- we had

  • Petr VanderVegt

I went here on my own to watch my alma mater in the NIT semi-finals, so it would have been more fun if there were more UAB fans there to cheer with me! That said, I really enjoyed The Spot! The American pub fare food was very good, and the

This place lives up to it's name, it IS The Spot!!! The food was absolutely delicious! The service was 5 star!!! Our server was amazing! We went there for my husband's birthday, it was the only restaurant in LaJolla open past 11:00PM, even

  • Kyle Kerr

Ok, so I'm in town to see RHCP and walking by The Spot, who has the peppers blasting on the stero, so of course, that was my sign to go in and eat. Come to find out, the bartender and owner are going to the show tonight. They made us feel

  • Jennifer Welch

We LOVED The Spot! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and our server was INCREDIBLE! Our family of four (6 & 15 year old kiddos) had an enjoyable evening dining at The Spot. We played a game of Trouble while waiting for our

  • Victoria Olivares

My Husband and I visited The Spot on an early Sunday evening while visiting La Jolla, we actually had seen it in passing and when I was researching restaurants on Yelp later that day, The Spot came up with good reviews and had a good list

  • Amy Herlihy

Super awesome place and very friendly. We tried for Jose’s first as tourists told us it was great but they were so rude to us as a party of 2 to sit outside. They wanted 6 people so we walked to The spot and was treated so nicely and sat

  • Derek H

Great location. Great food. Great service. The outdoor seating is best. Inside is a bit darker and louder. All of the food we had was really good. Some of the dishes were a bit more expensive, but you are paying for the location. I would

  • Charles Dobbs

I don't like giving bad reviews. But I was very disappointed and this area has much better options. First, I ordered the NY Strip Steak and I was brought a Skirt Steak. They corrected the order but I should have kept the Skirt Steak. It

Great local “spot” in the heart of La Jolla Village. Work across the street is this is the place my colleagues and I go to on the regular to grab lunch or a drink after work. Awesome, cozy atmosphere, good menu and plenty of drinks. More

  • Skipper Pond

We're in town to celebrate our son and future daughters-in-law's graduation from USMC DI School. Walked by here during the day and thought we'd stop in for dinner. Glad we did. Nick was our server and he was excellent. Had Mike's

  • Amy Ford

4 beers and a medium 3 topping thin crust was $90, so we won't be returning. That being said, the pizza was great, the beer selection was adequate and the service was ok. Dog friendly was a plus. There's no parking though. More

  • LULU LIVE Art

We came here for a couple of drinks. I really like the atmosphere here. Their drinks are delicious and reasonable prices. The staffs here are nice and friendly. I’ll come back to try their foods the next time.

  • Alejandro Rodriguez Castilleja

Awesome unassuming place. Great atmosphere, top bar selection, and great food quality. Had the ribeye and was better than other steakhouses in the area, the au poivre sauce was as good as a french bistro. More

  • Whitney Dinges

I prefer this spot for lunch (as opposed to dinner) when visiting La Jolla. As expected, it gets louder later in the day. The service is friendly, the food is delicious, and the serving sizes are large. More

  • Arturo Garcia

Nice bar atmosphere. Place was clean. Waitress wasn't especially friendly but she was attentive and did a good job with drinks and such for a party of 10. The food and bar drinks were great. More

Great time at The Spot. Server was always on top of things even though busy. Food is quite good, surpassing expectations. Flat iron steak is expensive but very worth it. Great fish n chips.
