Dramatically situated on Prospect Street in La Jolla overlooking the blue Pacific, George's at the Cove combines exceptional California cuisine and service with spectacular views from every level of the multi-tiered restaurant. All tend to fall into the romantic category, but California Modern is our top choice. The goal of the restaurant is to tell the story of San Diego through a seasonal menu featuring expertly prepared and presented locally-grown and harvested ingredients. George's is famous for fish tacos and here, they're as elegant as they are tasty. The menu never disappoints. If you'd really like to impress, reserve the TBL3 experience, 12-14 course tasting menu at table 3 which has the best views in the restaurant.

- Waterfront Dining: "San Diego is known for its fish tacos, but if you are a lover of this California staple, you must try the ones at George's. Recently lauded by a Food Network star as "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," George's non-traditional fish tacos feature fresh tuna, battered and fried avocado, and a list of other ingredients."
- La Jolla's Best Restaurants, Lunch, Group Friendly: "Don't forget to order the famous black bean soup which happens to pair well with an order of fish tacos."
