This place outbrunches the rest of La Jolla!Just had an amazing brunch at Cove House and I'm still drooling! The food was absolutely a hit! Imagine crispy French toast with a churro twist, topped with strawberries and whipped cream - that was their Churro French Toast, and it was absolute heaven. The Prosciutto Eggs Benedict featured perfectly poached eggs, savory prosciutto, and hollandaise goodness, with some delicious potato wedges. And the Chilaquiles? Crunchy tortilla chips, rich tomato sauce, fried eggs, avocado, and pickled onions created a flavor explosion that was out of this world.The vibe at Cove House is super chill with great outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying the beautiful La Jolla scenery. The music added a nice touch to the atmosphere, making the experience even more enjoyable. Shoutout to our waiter, Jason, who was incredible and made sure we had everything we needed. The entire staff was awesome and made us feel right at home. If you're in La Jolla, don't miss out on this brunch paradise. You'll thank me later!

We came here for lunch. The food was excellent as was the service.I had the crab sandwich. It was savory and I loved the waffle fries. They had a great crunch. My friend has the fish tacos. She said they were flavorful and the fish was fresh. The view was oceanic and the ambiance was beach casual with hospitable service. The server knew the menu well and recommended great drinks for non-drinkers. Thanks Cove House for a lovely lunch.

On vacation, stopped in here on Monday morning. Promptly seated outside, with a nice view of the ocean. The food was awesome. I got the stone crab BLAT -- or, perhaps, BLA, seeing as how I asked them to hold the tomato. The sandwich was delicious, as were the fries. In fact, I didn't get to eat many of the fries, since my kids kept begging me to share them.Based on the other Yelp reviews, Cove House has a great reputation. Based on our experience, it definitely lived up to the hype.

The Cove House is our must stop every time we are in La Jolla. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 including craft beers and my personal favorite, the Cove Runner cocktail. The Cove is a really cute breakfast/brunch/lunch/early dinner kind of place just a short walk to the beach. Keep in mind they do close at 6 every day. The service is always great and we will never not make a stop to our favorite little spot!

Overall: A good option for casual brunch or lunch near the park.The good: Food was great, particularly my bacon/egg/cheese sandwich. The bread was buttery, crispy, and thick, and had plenty of filling between the slices. The potatoes were seasoned and cooked well, and the portion sizes were more than filling. Service was friendly and they had high chairs for our baby.The not-so-good: They have limited hours, so don't expect a later lunch or dinner. Not a lot of outdoor seating, or even inside for that matter, so if it's busy it may be awhile before you're seated. The menu is somewhat limited.Food/drink: 8/10Atmosphere: 8/10Service: 8/10

If you're looking for a brunch place in La Jolla, look no further than Cove House! The food is overall pretty standard brunch favorites, some with a San Diego spin - like the California Benedict which adds a nice slice of avocado to a classic Benedict. We got there right at opening at 9 AM so had no trouble getting a table, but I imagine later in the morning there might be a bit of a wait. The parking is pretty standard for San Diego and is all street parking, since it's right by the water - it's a little challenging and during peak times, I would prepare to walk a little way, some of which will be uphill. The best part about Cove House is the view - if you sit outside there is a stunning view of the water as the restaurant is angled on the hill. Prices are also pretty standard for San Diego $15-30 per plate.

Here's a revised version of your review:We chose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, anticipating a delightful experience based on previous visits. Unfortunately, our expectations were met with disappointment. On this occasion, we ordered the veggie bowl, classic 2 eggs any style, and the mimosa kit.Starting on a positive note, the mimosa kit was well-presented, complete with a bottle of champagne and pineapple juice, which we specifically selected. This was a refreshing part of our meal.However, the main dishes fell short. My husband ordered the 2 eggs any style, opting for scrambled egg whites accompanied by potatoes, and avocado instead of bacon. We were taken aback by the meager portion sizes, especially considering the price point. The lack of generosity with inexpensive ingredients like potatoes was particularly disheartening.My veggie bowl was similarly disappointing, lacking in both flavor and substance. The salsa, which I hoped would add a vibrant kick, turned out to be nothing more than hot sauce, further diminishing my meal's appeal.Despite these shortcomings, the restaurant did offer a gesture of goodwill with complimentary dessert margaritas. While appreciated, this did little to offset our overall dissatisfaction, as our primary desire was for fulfilling and tasty meals.Conclusively, our anniversary meal was far from the special experience we had envisioned. The scenic potential of the location notwithstanding, the restaurant seems to have devolved into a tourist trap. Regrettably, we cannot recommend this establishment and will not be returning for future dining.

I walked in and immediately sat down. The server was so sweet, she was super helpful with her recommendations and she was very attentive. I ended up having the crab blat, which I forgot that I didn't like crab, lol, but that's not the crabs fault, it was a beautiful sandwich and I think most everyone would love it, the French fries were (10/10) crispy, salty, perfect...honestly they were some of the best fries I've ever had. The aperol spritz was really good too. The views from the patio are of the beach area and really great. I'd definitely come here again.

Gloomy but the sun would be out later in the day. Sat outside in the corner. The waiter was nice and great service. Food came out quick no wait. Food was okay and Bloody Mary was delicious.

Delicious food. Cool atmosphere. Tasty hard kambucha. The burgers looked good, saw all the table around me order them and I did ask how they were and they all told me I ordered the right thing... them Pattie's looked like the frozen ones from cosco. Lol. Nice spot with an ok view. Don't know if I'd return but it was a good experience.
