La Jolla Groves

First time in. Food looks beautiful. However I ordered the tri tip salad and the steak was mostly chewy fat. It costs 30 dollars for a mediocre at best salad. I can make a far superior salad at home. Rather dissapointing. However my date loved his salmon.

Came here with my girlfriends for a late lunch and it was delicious! We did the full courses. We started with the lemon flatbread which, in my opinion, was the best bite. The flatbread is new to the menu and was perfectly balanced with a sweet element coming from the strawberries, savory from the balsamic, peppery from the arugula, all on top of creamy ricotta. We also had the bruschetta which was perfectly crunchy and savory. Both were very fresh and an awesome start to the meal. For the first course I had the watermelon salad, others in my party tried the petite wedge salad, mushroom bisque, and the tomato basil. No complaints here! The watermelon salad is also new to the menu and was so fresh and clean. When our entrees arrived we were excited to taste what was next. I had the tenderloins which were cooked to perfection. Others in my group got the halibut. One of them said it was the best halibut they’ve ever had. Another friend got the filet and she said it was cooked to perfection

3 stars for great service, nice deco and molten cake. I ordered the wagyu filet mignon. I asked for medium and it was way overcooked. All I can tasted is the bitter of the burn. Definitely not worth $70. My husband ordered salmon. The rice was dry, the salmon wasn't flavorful. The molten cake is great, that's the only food I would recommend to try here. Overall, the food is not worth it.
