La Jolla Shores Hotel is a prominent landmark along the stretch of coastline in North La Jolla. With its Spanish architecture consisting of majestic arches and a terra-cotta-colored rooftop, it provides a striking presence next to the Pacific Ocean. Although many people visit La Jolla Shores, named after the beach that borders the hotel and which gives La Jolla Shores its name, not many people venture into the hotel. However, even if you don’t have a reason to stay overnight, you can still experience why it’s an iconic part of San Diego by eating at the hotel’s restaurant – The Shores Restaurant.
The Shores Restaurant Ambiance
Located at the west end of the hotel, the Shores restaurant offers a wide and spectacular view of the ocean, which is especially good thanks to the hotel being slightly elevated above the beach. Climb the stairs from the boardwalk to the restaurant and choose whether you would like to sit in the indoor dining room with its large windows or on the breezy patio that has expansive views of the Pacific. When dining al fresco, you’ll also enjoy an insider’s look at the hotel’s relaxing pool area and the rows of rooms that surround it.
Inside, the decor is light with a sophisticated beach theme. It’s an airy and relaxed breakfast or lunch or a romantic dinner.
The Shores restaurant menu
The Shores restaurant specializes in farm-to-table ingredients with an emphasis on sustainable seafood. The menu consists primarily of Pacific and California inspired dishes with some of the favorites from Mexican cuisine. The fish tacos and nachos are delicious and served with lots of tasty and thick guacamole. You can also try a more daring cuisine, such as duck ravioli or watermelon arugula salad.
No matter what food you’re in the mood for, Shores Restaurant is ready to serve you, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Casual attire is acceptable and kid-friendly too, which isn’t a big surprise given the location of your patio next to the pool where you’re likely to hear the sounds of children playing (though not so close as to be distracting ). Shores Restaurant also has a great happy hour Sunday through Friday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. You’ll get big savings on some of Shores Restaurant’s most popular items, including fish tacos, plus a discount on beer, wine, and select cocktails. .
