A.r. Valentien - La Jolla

A beautiful setting, a lovely summer night! What better way to celebrate our anniversary! Attentive wait staff and eclectic offering of delicious meal choices. Enjoyed the personal touches and ?chef? specials sent out to try!!

Great restaurant, I went there for my birthday and everything was excellent, best dinner I?ve had in San Diego. We started with the terrines, I ordered the confit that was delicious and for dessert the fig clafouti that was ok. The service was very good, the restaurant is beautiful and the view is great.

We had an amazing view from our seat on the deck outside (heaters were on to accommodate the chilly evening). The service was impeccable and made our occasion feel very special.  The Westland 'Stateside ' Manhattan was the perfect amount of spirit-forward you would expect from that cocktail and for sweet cocktail lovers, the Finale Perfetto is an amazing choice. Everyone loved their food including the Seared Tuna, Sea Scallops, Prime Rib Eye Steak, and I thought the Duck Breast and Confit Leg was especially unique when served with Spaetzle Apples seasonally.  The vegetable sides were also tasty and a good portion.

Absolutely the best place to spend a special birthday. The food, amazing. The staff phenomenonal. It was my wife's birthday and we wanted to go somewhere really special, known for good service. We had great food and amazing service. We tried their signature duck which was succulent. We also had their prime rib which was done perfectly. A snap peas and brussel sprout sides or an excellent compliment to the main courses and dessert was tasty too. We are definitely coming back.

Lovely anniversary dinner. Enjoyed the crispy skin king salmon and beef ribeye dinners. The seasonal soup and seared scallops with truffle risotto were nice starters. The attentive staff and relaxing pace of service was appreciated. Look forward to returning.
