We have always been big fans of Happy Hour and now that La Jolla Girl is in the house, it’s the time of day we normally eat dinner anyway. We are lucky that in La Jolla there are so many great Happy Hours, so close to our house. I’m going to pick 5, in no particular order, that we frequent. This is tough as our list is probably closer to 10. 1. Azul La Jolla: [...]

Have to admit Whisknladle is one of our favorite places to eat in La Jolla right now.    If you’re visiting from out of town or a local that hasn’t been yet, you should try it.  Whisknladle is known for it’s fresh, simple food.  Their dishes aren’t complicated or fussy and they taste fantastic. The post photo is of the Cutting Board (artisan meats, cheeses, mustards and spreads) which we always order.  It’s so yummy. Our Typical [...]

Come On In is one of my favorite places in La Jolla to have a casual bite.  Before La Jolla Girl, we were regulars at half price bottle of wine nights on either Monday or Tuesday. Those were the days! My usual order is a Come On In salad with chicken, sometimes with the carpaccio appetizer (I know odd combo, but they’re both so good) and ALWAYS with cake.  The sauteed baby artichokes are also [...]

I was just minding my business, scraping super glue off my car key (I’ll blog about that at some point) when I received an email from George’s California Modern.  I’m on their list and have loved reading about the changes this institution has gone through recently.  This email was about San Diego Beer Week (I was not aware such a week existed) and some other news. You all know this already but La Jolla Dad [...]

UPDATE:  Since writing this post, I received a sincere apology from the Regional Manager of Brigantine Restaurants (who own Azul).  I honestly appreciate that, however, that’s not why I wrote the post to begin with.  As you know, I gush about places and things that I love, but feel that I need to balance that out when something doesn’t go exactly right. We have not been back to Azul yet, though they did kindly offer [...]

La Jolla Happy Hour Hop

On Monday, La Jolla Dad and I went to downtown La Jolla for some cocktails and dinner. We left the house around 4pm, which is early, but that’s the kind of people we are now. Our first stop was Roppongi, which is one of my personal favorites. I go there for tapas (1/2 price during happy hour), mainly to eat a Polynesian Crab Stack and maybe a sushi roll (this time it was the La Jolla Sunset) and [...]
