Great views, but overcooked (!?) Halibut and Sea Bass!

by Val05

Before dinner, my parents and I decided to have some cocktails in the bar. This may not have been such a great idea as service was slow and my martini, which was advertised as coming with "blue cheese olives" only came with a singular olive. Not a big deal, but when I pointed this out to the waitress she seemed very disinterested and said she didn't know what to tell me but that I could buy two more for a dollar. Had she seemed just a bit more concerned that might not have come out of her tip. However, the service in the restaurant was exceptional. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive. However, both my halibut and my mother's sea bass were dry. This was really disappointing as I had really been looking forward to enjoying my locally caught fish. The sauces and sides made up somewhat as both dishes were very flavorful. Were I to choose again, I would go with the cioppino. Fresh seafood with just the right amount of spice. Very tasty. Overall, I was expecting much more. The Crab Catcher has a reputation for exceptional seafood, so when it is overcooked it is really disappointing.

My mother is over 90 years young, an getting her to go out is difficult to say the least, but when I mention the Crab Catcher and those crab cakes, she hits the door leaving her walker behind. My wife and I always visits the Crab Catcher when were in La Jolla. I grew up in San Diego and now live in the San Francisco Bay Area namely Walnut Creek, CA We make one to two trips a year to San Diego and enjoy the Del Coranado and La Jolla.

Thanks for keeping my childhood alive.

• Pros: Thumbs up, I have never had problems parking directly in front. wonderful views & service
• Cons: Too many people visit La Jolla in the summer. Dah! It must be because of its beauty.
