Georges at the Cove introduces Georges California Modern

  • George's California Modern
  • Ocean Terrace
  • George's Bar

George's at the Cove recently unveiled its all-new $2.7 million upscale contemporary restaurant in La Jolla. Featuring Chef/Partner Trey Foshee's characteristically California cuisine, GEORGES CALIFORNIA MODERN reflects a distinct sensitivity to design and offers guests the flexibility to reserve a table or find an impromptu spot in the Modern Bar, a prominent feature in the new space. No matter where you?re seated, you?ll find the ambiance sophisticated yet relaxed, with a transparent energy that reflects the Southern California way of life. Multiple configurations that can accommodate groups from 18 to 193 also make the restaurant ideal for group and private events.

Ok, I understand that George's is an impressive restaurant. Creative, innovative, amazing, whatever. It's nice but not one of the best. As a foodie ,we enjoyed 5 great nights of dining in the SD area but I would rate George's at the bottom of the list of what we had. The food was fresh, beautifully presented with impeccable service all in a beautiful setting. But, it just didn't do it for me, it tasted, well, ok. Our group ordered the tasting menu because our waiter did a great job selling it. Skip it. It's items off the menu, instead pick what you want and move on. It's also very expensive, over $600 plus tip for 4 people.

Pros: View, good wine list and great service.

Cons: The food is OK where it should be amazing. Expensive, $150pp +.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

George's is awesome - The food is amazing (but not over-priced), the specialty mixed drinks at each of the bars are outstanding (they have an on-site mixologist that creates interesting, seasonal drinks with fresh fruits), the atmosphere is fun and inviting, and the view is spectacular (especially at sunset). Great date (or anytime) place!
