Sariah and her team handled our party of 14 flawlessly. Between us all I think we must’ve sampled almost everything on the menu haha! We tried the braised lamb shank, salmon filet, French onion soup, lemon roasted chicken, chicken tortellini, manhattan steak, and even the Ruben sandwich. It was all fantastic and cooked to perfection.
Service starts with drinks, buttery dinner rolls (delicious!), and an unexpected delectable amuse-bouche of dried fig and honey on top of a slice of Parmesan – it was lovely and a very elegant start to the meal.
For drinks, Sariah recommended the lemonades as they are the house specialty and made fresh – so hubby and I tried a raspberry lemonade and a blackberry lemonade. They were refreshing, delicious, and not too sweet. Not too long after, all the food came out. The meal finishes with a complimentary plate of hard lemon candies which was a nice touch.
The decor in the main dining room is lemon tree themed and I absolutely loved it! It’s cozy and fun – like dining in a lemon orchard. But unfortunately they sat us in a back room that felt a lot more flat – almost like a conference room. It would’ve really made our whole experience that much better if it had also been decorated in their lemon tree theme – and that really is my only complaint. But the room was elegant enough and very private for our little family party. So it isn’t really much of a complaint and certainly not enough of an issue to detract from the overall experience – just something to be aware of.
We had a lot of “preferences” we had to consider in finding a restaurant for my son’s big day, so after an extensive search, we settled on La Jolla Groves for its elegant atmosphere and accommodating menu and we were more than satisfied. I easily made reservations online but also spoke to them on the phone to confirm and ask some questions.
They do require a credit card to secure the reservation for a large party (we had 14 guests) but there’s no charge for making the reservation – only if you cancel on very short notice. They’re located in a large shopping area with plenty of parking. They’re kind of behind the stores but there are maps on site to help you find the entrance.
Thanks again to Sariah and La Jolla Groves for taking such great care of us on our special day!
-Pros: Atmosphere was great, delicious food, yummy drinks
-Cons: My husband got the anniversary experience package and made a reservation. We waited 30 mins before we were seated and there were a bunch of tables open. The waiter forgot to have the flowers and drinks on the table before we were seated and my husband had to ask about it. My husband made them known of his food allergy but they didn’t let us know what had his food allergen in it. The steak was really expensive for only 4 slices ( you could get more steak at Ruth’s Chris for the price). We also waited a VERY long time for the food to come out and the drinks were never refilled. Then we were charged for the anniversary dessert right after they told us it was free for our anniversary.
Overall: Food was good, service was not.
However, we wouldn’t recommend nor will we would never go back. The steak was very poor quality especially for the price. Sides were okay – but lacked seasoning and portions were so small. We had two broccolini on our plate for our steaks.
We walked in and it was not busy and now we understand why.
The food was well prepared and nicely presented. We tried a couple of their pasta dishes along with an appetizer, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The wood-fired pizza looked popular around the restaurant, and the ingredients across the dishes felt high-quality.
Service was friendly and professional throughout the evening. Our server checked in regularly and made sure everything was taken care of. It did get fairly busy during dinner time, so there was a slight wait between courses, but nothing too frustrating.
