Description:
This is perhaps La Jolla's signature restaurant. It has it all: stunning ocean views, style, impeccable service, and above all, a world-class chef. Not resting on its considerable laurels, however, Georges closed briefly in early 2007, undergoing a $2.5-million renovation. It re-emerged with a slightly new name and a new design-forward environment. Most importantly, though, Trey Foshee can still be found in the kitchen. Foshee, named one of America's top 10 chefs by Food & Wine, has been set loose stylistically; there's a larger, more adventurous menu than before, incorporating more cross-cultural influences and still driven by the freshest local ingredients available. Fine food and incomparable views at more modest prices are upstairs at the Ocean Terrace and George's Bar. These two spaces offer indoor and outdoor seating, as well as food from the same kitchen as the pricey main dining room. Lunch is served here daily.

Food, view, and if you have right someone, romance. $$$$, but worth it. That old saying you get what you pay for is true. You will not be disappointed here.

George's food is wonderful and the view is spectacular. Make sure you have a reservation and take a jacket or scarf because the roof top dining can be very chilly.

Message from Georges California Modern
George's at the Cove recently unveiled its all-new $2.7 million upscale contemporary restaurant in La Jolla. Featuring Chef/Partner Trey Foshee's characteristically California cuisine, GEORGES CALIFORNIA MODERN reflects a distinct sensitivity to design and offers guests the flexibility to reserve a table or find an impromptu spot in the Modern Bar, a prominent feature in the new space. No matter where you're seated, you'll find the ambiance sophisticated yet relaxed, with a transparent energy that reflects the Southern California way of life. Multiple configurations that can accommodate groups from 18 to 193 also make the restaurant ideal for group and private events.
