The Scene – Perched out beyond the sand line on La Jolla Shores, waves often splash against the floor-to-ceiling dining room windows, which are the only thing separating you from the ocean at this classy, coastal establishment.

Corkage Fee
by Ace2110 at Citysearch
One of my pet peeves around the industry is when a restaurant has a short promotion and then tries to use it as advertising forever.
The Marine Room had a $0 corkage fee for, as best as I can tell, under a year and now it is back to $25 per bottle.
Since they haven't corrected any of their online ads, people should be aware.
- Cons: Corkage Fee is Back
Great food, view, wine.
by trickdigger at Citysearch
I've eaten here maybe half a dozen times. Here are the constants: Great food, great view, great wine.
We've gone for holidays twice for the prix fixe menus which have all been excellent. We've been lucky to get a table by the window everytime despite it being packed. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Food, wine, special menus
- Cons: Staring enviously at the people who got the good tables
