George's at the Cove Review

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. The George's moniker actually refers to three distinct on-site options: George's California Modern, George's Bar, and Ocean Terrace. California Modern is the upscale, design-forward dinner spot where chef Trey Foshee, named one of America's top 10 chefs by Food & Wine, is at his most innovative; the indoor/outdoor George's Bar and the glorious rooftop Ocean Terrace serve a less-pricey bistro fare for both lunch and dinner. All the food comes out of the same award-winning kitchen, though, which is noted for its intensely seasonal -- and often local -- fare (even the artisan cocktails change with the time of year). Vegan and vegetarian items are always available, too, as is the signature black bean soup with smoked chicken and broccoli.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
