Shores Restaurant

The food is amazing, the ambiance is great, the cocktails were on point! The grilled adobo octopus appetizer was insanely delicious. We tried the Birria short ribs and the Baja fish Trio. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely beautiful view. The food is good but not great. I ordered the ribeye steak "medium well" and it was very well done. A disappointment for sure. Hubby ordered the hamburger that looked delicious but he asked for no sauce and they served it with the sauce so he had to get new bun! A little pricey for the quality but expected in the La Jolla area. I had the steak and an iced tea, hubby had a burger and the check came to $70.04 plus %20 tip Ambience is very nice although I'd prefer less upbeat music and more laid back. Why is every one trying to have this laid back soft rock vibe at a nice dining space? Service is fabulous. Our waiter Jesse was very attentive and was the best part of our visit hereWe have come here on occasion for their brunch and it was soooo good so we decided to try the dinner. The menu is limited but all in all we had a nice experience and you can't beat the gorgeous VIEW!! We would come back here again but maybe order something different....

I made a reservation for my husband, his brother visiting from out of the country and their mother... From the moment I called until they finished their dinner the experience was superb. The gentleman with whom I made the reservation was kind, efficient, and gathered enough information to be sure we were choosing the best options. Parking was easy in the garage, the view from the table was lovely, the weight staff was kind and accommodating and according to them, the food was delicious! It is such a pleasure to find a venue that still treats visitors like guests. We will most definitely be back.

What was supposed to be celebrating my mom's birthday dinner turned into an odd experience and a place I'll never return. From an innocent incorrect drink that shouldn't be an issue (which 3 staff members came over to ask about telling me I was wrong) to pouring water in my moms cocktail and not correcting it ruined a very nice birthday dinner. We left very unpleased and frustrated over things that could have easily been corrected. The staff is under trained and lacks enthusiasm to run a great restaurant.

This is the third time I've been here. I come for the view but always surprised by how good the food is. This time we watch dolphins jump in the waves from our table. I was kind of bummed when I saw the menu this time because it had changed. They had a really good loaded fries, burgers, etc but now the menu was on the healthier and pricier side. Yet, the chopped salad with steak I ordered was very good. The mud pie was good but I would like it better without nuts. I also received a complimentary cheese cake dessert so that was very nice. The service was good. My recommendations are allow happy hour to go until at least 5:30 pm and not end at 5:00 pm (too early) or just add some of the old items from your menu. We had a lovely dinner.

we went here for the Fourth of July so keep that in mind. The food was good but this place is crazy expensive, appetizers are like $20. I understand the restaurant was busy, but the servers were high school students who got easily distracted. Not sure if I would go back

I had a salad that was delicious. It was huge and I made 2 meals of it. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. Presentation was perfect.It's always wonderful to sit on the patio and watch the ocean. They had live music for the holiday and Susanna was my server. It's always so nice to see her every time I visit. Definitely recommend!

What a lovely little spot! We stopped by on our way out of San Diego & it was a chill brunch spot with stunning views. The chilaquiles had the perfect kick & the breakfast burger was an instant hangover cure. The espresso martinis were A solid hotel restaurant with free parking and a beach you can stroll afterwards!

Brought my wife for our 8th anniversary and it did NOT disappoint!!!Partnering with The Shores Restaurant in La Jolla was fabulous Shelby, Riley, Katie, and our server, Heather, were phenomenal with getting my flowers and champagne all set and ready to go before we arrived. And that window seat in an intimate little corner was perfection for watching the sunset. I know it couldn't be a guarantee, but it worked out famously.The octopus starter was epic, full of flavor and so enjoyable. The ribeye with the chimichurri on top and addicting chilequiles was chef's kiss. The fish trio was delicious, three different fish and flavor profiles, but they all complimented each other on the plate. The mudd pie was to die for. That oreo crust was the perfect texture pair to the silky pie. YUUUMMMMM.Well done, you guys. You exceeded my expectations in every way and helped make my anniversary the most memorable one yet. Can't wait to come back!

The hotel and restaurant are extremely dated, and feels very 'worn out'. The signage in the hotel has that cheap industrial feel to it- like one click above 'we got these signs at staples'. It's dark and cavernous. The bathrooms feel like old church basement... little rusty 'eljay' pipes sticking out, leaning partitions with rusty screws and builder basic tile.The restaurant was 'meh'. The prices were high and the taste was very basic. I had the tequila citrus chicken. Basically fried chicken with a dash of something like lemon pepper rub on it, right outta the jar. Maybe there could have been a sprinkle of tequila in the salsa verde? Not clear. My wife had the fish tacos. She said they were 'okay'.The iced tea was good though!!!!The view was great!!!The service was good.The place was nearly empty though on a Friday night. Parking is a nightmare too. I wouldn't put THE SHORES on my list again.
