Overrated!! The rating is crazy: the soup arrived cold, the steak was overcooked and of poor quality. The service mediocre and the hostess totally bored. The restaurant was quite empty and that should have been a good warning. What a disappointment!

A beautiful place for a delicious lunch. The hangar steak was outstanding.

The food was very good but pricey. What made this a memorable dining experience was the service. We were a party of ten with multiple dietary constraints.Our server was so knowlegable and patient that everyone was happy with her suggestions. Do not miss the beets with pistachio butter.

September Lunch on the deck. Not only was the "weather perfect" but the total experience was exquisite. Our group had the halibut, the brick chicken and the duck breast, all were flavorful, fresh and superb!

A bit expensive but the indoor or outdoor dining is a wonderful expierences in taste, flavours, and presentation. Lunch is every bit as good and the prices is more reasonable. View the magestic Torrey Pines Golf Course and the blue Pacific Ocean.
