Mediterranean Room

This place is beautiful and very cozy. We had a section on the couches and high tops. Had a pretty view out of a big window! The food was yummy. My eggs Benedict wasn't as runny as i would've liked, but the flavors were on point. I loved the chipotle hollandaise. The server was nice. I would definitely come back to give lunch a try at this place.

Food: 3 stars for the hotel. They can improve it, but the taste lacks flavor.Service: 5 stars for Michael. He serves us with a smile and humble behavior, always checking on us. Very attentive.Ambiance: Ocean view with your choice of patio, fire, dining room, or bar.Drinks: Well-made, balanced, and blended.

Loved it. Great for breakfast. Million dollar view and reasonable prices. Went on July 4 am after watching seals play in cove. Great decor...historic hotel and first class service. Breakfasts range from $18 up. Very reasonable. Vintage vibe and great service. Go there just to check it out if you do not want to eat there. It is a historically preserved hotel. Had the Bloody Mary- virgin- so not sure of the pour. Pretty but a bit acidic. Had the omelet $18- came with potatoes and generous portion. My #1 had the American breakfast with ham and it was again generous with a thick ham slice. We sat outside- had a view of the ocean and the servers were extremely conscientious and eager. Besides the great architecture and nostalgic decor, the service also was from another time- really really good! LOL. Highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel and dining area. Love the decor and nice views from the patio and dining area. We went here for lunch. Valet parking is $18 and they do not validate. Staff was not that friendly and service could use improvement. When your server walks past your table several times and doesn't look to see if you need more drinks or anything else. I had to go request the blankets from the host after I requested it from the waitress and she didn't do it. Food was delicious. We really enjoyed the poke nachos and hummus and naan. The La V burger was also good and so were the truffle fries and aioli dip. The turkey avocado club could use improvement. There was a piece of bacon that was rock hard and I couldn't bite into it. Overal, we had a nice lunch and would come here again.

It was truly delightful, beautifully decorated, and overlooking Ellen Browning Scripps Park and La Jolla Cove!!!I had the Lobster Benedict and my partner had the Mediterranean Omelette. From start to finish, the service was excellent, the servers were attentive through the entire meal. CONSTANTLY REFILLING OUR WATER GLASSES.

I took my husband and parents to the high tea at the La Valencia/Mediterranean Room for their 49th wedding anniversary on Friday. We had such a great, relaxing afternoon. The food was amazing, something about a holiday tea is extra special. The sandwiches were tasty, the cucumber mint was surprisingly light and refreshing and my mom loved the chicken salad. The cranberry orange scones were light and paired perfectly with the Devonshire cream and jam. We had four teas to choose from (green or black) all complimented the sweets and savories quite well. I must say though my favorite tier was the sweets tier. The egg nog cream puffs were light and airy and the perfect hint of egg nog. There were also mini gingerbread cupcakes, cardamom butter spritz cookies , and the amazing chocolate mint macaroons. We also enjoyed bubbly with our tea.The staff was so wonderful, everyone was so nice and very attentive. Mario was great and was always checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Michelle was awesome too (not our table but always super nice as well) and Ryan came by and chatted and asked us how everything was an see we talked about the teas and other things. Everyone was so wonderful. We also appreciated that he mentioned gratuity was included which isn't always told at other teas we've been to. Everything from the view, the food and the staff at the Mediterranean were simply perfect and amazing. Plus a portion of proceeds from the tea are donated to local Rady Children's Hospital. High tea at the La Valencia/Mediterranean Room is $95/pp and is a must whether you are in the area or traveling from out of town.

We walked by this historical hotel and impulsively went in. I'm so glad we did because everything was exceptional from the service to the food. We were checked on often and asked how our time there could be better. There were others sitting near by who wanted to customize drinks, food etc. I honestly felt horrible for the waitstaff and am not sure if they often get entitled customers but they were as professional as professional could gets.The hummus $17 was outstanding and they offered extra warm nann. Veggie tacos $20 were good and interesting but i could have been just satisfied with the hummus alone. My friend had the turkey sandwich $19 and enjoyed it as well. If you're in the area, you should stop by even if it's just for a drink.

We had an amazing brunch here, the chilaquiles, the steak and eggs, the salads, the pancakes were all cooked to perfection! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the service was solid. We willGladly return here, compliments to the chef he crushed it

We had a delightful dining experience at this restaurant, where we reserved a table specifically for its delectable cuisine and stunning ocean view. To kick off the evening, I opted for a dark beer, reminiscent of Guinness, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Despite not being overly hungry, we decided to try two appetizers: the clam and octopus. The generous portions left us completely satisfied, with flavors that were absolutely exquisite. Our server, Ryan, was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through the menu with helpful recommendations. His friendly demeanor and exceptional customer service truly enhanced our dining experience. We savored our meal while taking in the beautiful ocean view, making it one of the most memorable dining experiences during our time in La Jolla.

Had brunch here and the chef was spot on with the food service! Perfect EggsBenedict; crunchy crumpet, a perfect poached egg and silky hollandaise!! The view is million dollar from the terrace overlooking La Jolla Cove! The service is impeccable too! A perfect pulled espresso and its a stellar experience! Parking on the street is easy and FREE!
