Manhattan Of La Jolla

Awesome experience! We stayed at the Empress hotel and heard great reviews about this restaurant so made a reservation for my friend 's birthday. Love the darker 'mob-boss ' vibe, love piano and live music, plus cool artwork and also fish tank add to the ambience. The host that sat us recommended the table side flambayed peppercorn New York steak, so we got that with mashed potato plus table side caesar salad (don 't see either very often anymore) drinks and our amazing server Neoli was super friendly and hooked us up with a baked potato and free dessert for my friend 's birthday. Overall wonderful ambience, friendly service, table side preparations and great food!

This is hidden inside a hotel in La Jolla San Diego. It?s upscale Italian. There was live music with a lounge singer. I had the veal Marsala, lobster bisque and I highly recommend the Ecstasy desert which is White chocolate gelato with liquor and raspberries. It?s more filling than it looks.

Great restaurant everywhere. Had our wedding party upstairs a few years ago and everything was perfect. Great atmosphere and food. We go every year to our anniversary and when family or friends are in town.

Desert is huge, rather small and better Presentation Stuffs are so friendly and sweet, good entertainment

Big props for Britney Manny. Veal Chop is Zagat rated for a good reason: the quality is extremely high. While staying at The Empress hotel in which this restaurant is located, I also enjoyed Caesars Salad prepared table side, Gnocchi, Carpaccio, Insalata alla Della, Linguine Pomodoro, and Tiramisu. A great wine list accompanies the superb Traditional Italian menu (Montepulciano! plus a full bar with happy hour available. If you aren't spending $100 per person or more, you aren't doing it right.
