Where Beachside Beauty Meets the Perfect Bite

Step straight from the sands to The Shores. Bring family and friends to experience an airy and beachy vibe for lunch, dinner or a refreshing cocktail, on our oceanfront patio. We welcome you to sample fresh seafood and a sustainable, California coastal & Baja-inspired menu. Dine among the waves and savor views of La Jolla Cove and the Pacific blue, along with delicious dishes made from farm-fresh ingredients, courtesy of the best local providers in San Diego and beyond. Pair your meal with well-mixed cocktails, craft beers, or local wines.
