Okay, here we go!
Had a reservation today and was seated right away, even asked for a table with a good view and got it!! Big plus…. Until the service killed everything I expected (1st time here).
Waiter ( didn’t get his name, no name tag, Hispanic male with short shorts)
Person #1 ordered iced tea, when the tea was gone (which was mostly ice) he picked up the glass from the table, not a word and walked away. We thought maybe he went to get a refill as he said nothing. When she asked if she could get a refill, he acted stunned and was like “refill” all confused, well he then says no that this from a bottle and that’s it, you only get that glass as to insinuate that’s all that was in the bottle? We were still totally confused. Well if it from a bottle, and that’s all you get ( pretty sure that whole bottle did not fit in the glass of ice), but walked away and offered no further explanation. Anywho, rude about it.
Person #2 had a draft beer and when he was done, that glass was also picked up without a word and not even would you like another as any server would have done!
Also person #1 ordered a Greek salad with chicken that came out about 10 minutes after everyone else’s meal (Table of 4).
But not one time did they say anything.
Person #2 ordered a burger RARE ( I know, yuck) but it was far from rare but didn’t send it back, he just ate it anyway.
Person #3 had a medium RARE burger that was perfect.
I will say, the food was absolutely amazing and delicious (reason for the 3*) however due to the poor service, we may never return.
If you dare to brave the poor customer service, the linguini pesto was amazing, added chicken!
Birdseye, suggestion to remind staff of customer service and proper etiquette with customer’s.
Our server was not the only rude one!
** the young tall blonde kid with blue shirt was very kind ( he is the one who sat us).

For those who (like me) love a good rooftop bar, Birdseye is a hidden gem. Perched right off of Prospect Street (the main drag in downtown La Jolla) it offers a killer view of the waters of the La Jolla Cove. Open for brunch, they don’t offer drip coffee but you can get an Americano or espresso and their brunch menu covers not only the basic (all American) but breakfast burritos and chilaquiles (brunch served until 1pm).
They DO take reservations, but I also had no trouble finding a seat at 11am on a Sunday. Do be advised: 100% of the seating is outside, and the wind does blow in off the cove, so dress warmly, especially in the mornings.
This place is super easy to miss, and requires a walk up a long flight of stairs. Maybe that’s part of what has kept this spot a hidden gem, but now you are in know.

Food and view were great. Cocktails were a bit pricey for what we got, but interesting options. Small area for seating so space runs out fast, but really cool view of the street below and the ocean. Fun place to hang for a little bit and catch up.

Birdeye is an amazing spot in La Jolla! The view of the ocean is absolutely stunning and makes the whole experience unforgettable. The food was very good, with great vegetarian and even vegan options, which I really appreciated. On top of that, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. A perfect combination of delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend!

The service was 10/10, our server was really nice and attentive. The atmosphere is great, music was good and the views were incredible. Maybe the only two things that I would fault- the bathrooms and the prices. There is one stall for the entire bar. Each of our cocktails were $20+. We did not try any of the food, although the plates that we saw passing by looked really good.
Our drinks were as follows:
Saturn’s Reward – 8/10, a great citrus drink. really easy to drink and smooth, a great citrus flavor. A bit overpriced at $21, but still a good drink.
Queen of the Night – 8/10, this was a really solid espresso martini! the flavor and balance was great. Again, really good espresso martini, I just don’t know if it was worth $20

So fun to nosh and imbibe after visiting the Sunny Jim’s sea caves! If you’re adventurous try The Empress drink, it’s crazy and crazy great taste. The servers are so kind. Rafael A. was a delight and ensured e drything was right. The view is $1million and we’ll get back next time we’re in La Joya!

My friends and I love to pick a new restaurant twice a month for lunch because there are so many places to eat in San Diego. We picked Birdseye because we love La Jolla and we wanted a table with a view of the ocean. I even specified that in our reservation. The traffic into La Jolla was bad. I had to call and ask for an extension on the reservation, but luckily they had a valet service for only $20 for three hours. The young lady that answered the phone was very friendly and said it wouldn’t be a problem. When we arrived at the restaurant, we had the best view on the rooftop. We could see the ocean clearly and we’re very happy about that. The energy was good and the restaurant was pretty packed. Our server was pleasant, but not overly friendly. They took our drink orders and we ordered guacamole and chips and those came pretty promptly. The guacamole and salsa were delicious. The chips were a little hard. But the salsa and guacamole made up for it. I ordered the linguine with mushroom (can’t remember the name of it) and my two friends ordered the steak sandwich. This is where the vibe changed. Both the steak sandwiches were overcooked and had a ton of fat on them, they couldn’t even chew the meat. My pasta was sitting in more of a soup than a sauce and wasn’t very flavorful. Our poor waiter was a bit embarrassed when we brought up the steaks and offered to remove them off the bill. I only ate a little bit of pasta and thought I would take it home but when I received a paper to go box, I knew I wouldn’t be able to take the pasta home. We started off so good only to be disappointed in the food in the end, but the drinks were good and the view was good.

Went here for a quick lunch and while we were seated promptly and the view was great, we would not go back.
The Bartender made a face when the waiter asked him (at my request)if he had coconut rum (nice day and I was feeling tropical)…a reaction that very clearly indicated that he considered it a low-brow request. Needless to say they didn’t have it so I ordered a bloody mary that was not drinkable when it arrived. It was unseasoned and watery with zero seasoning except Worcestershire…a LOT of it. It was undrinkable and the fact that it sat untouched was never questioned by the waiter.
We shared the Octopus and Shrimp Fra Diavolo: sauce was very good, shrimp was decent, octopus was tough and rubbery- almost unable to be cut.
Two drinks and a shared plate was $70 not including tip. While the prices themselves are not an issue… they DO set an expectation for at least edible food and drinkable cocktails with attentive service. This restaurant does not meet the bar.

Really like the intimate atmosphere of the rooftop and they had such a great view of the water. Service was really nice. Drinks were really good. We liked everything we got and the food was also really solid.

As my friends and I looked for a brunch spot the day before, someone found the Lovebirds Mimosa Flight and it was decided from there! Two different places online had hours, one said brunch was at 9am, another said 10am, so of course I called and their recording says brunch was at 9am on Sat and Sun. Check out for our hotel was 11am, so 9am was perfect…until we got there and it was 10am! We were 3 minutes walking from our hotel, so no big deal to go back and we just loaded everything up. That was our only issue at Birdseye!
We were greeted and sat immediately since we were the first ones there, which is odd for a Sunday morning. We ordered the mimosas and they were cute and very good. Mostly champagne, but that’s the way we like it!! LOL
Our party ordered the breakfast sandwich, the breakfast burrito, steak and eggs, berries & cream toast, and scrambled eggs. For the most part, everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was a thin cut steak, so of course they cook in 2.7 seconds, so it was over cooked, and it was salty. And although my friend who ordered the berries and cream toast THOUGHT it was french toast (it was not LOL) she still enjoyed it. As we got ready to leave, it started to get busy, but the service was great and we definitely enjoyed it.
