Not sure about the negative service comments, our service was spot on. My wife and I selected the "Mercy of the Chef", and let me tell you, it was phenomenal!
My wife and I don't typically go off the beaten path when it comes to cuisine, but this time we decided to risk it. We knew the "mercy" was going to be selections off the menu, so we pretty much knew what our selections might be. With the exception of one dish (which coincidentally would have been my entree selection), my wife and I would have never ordered the selections served. And believe me, the food was absolutely delicious!
Every course was brought out at regular intervals... Possibly a little slow for some peoples taste, but as we were celebrating a night away from our kids, dining on great food at our own leisure was enjoyable. From start to finish, we were there for about 2 1/2 hours. Having enjoyed other prix fix dinner/wine pairings, and staying at the Grand Colonial, the pacing was spot on. Having enjoyed cocktails earlier in the evening, we enjoyed some signature cocktails rather than the optional wine pairing.
If you're adventurous, the "mercy of the chef" is well worth the money!
I've got a new "best breakfast ever" spot. The French toast with fruit, pistachios and yogurt was amazing. My wife loved her pastrami omelette too. The service was spot on and the location is convenient to downtown La Jolla for shopping or walking down to the sea walk.
Fantastic dinner! There is nothing better than having Celiac Disease and being able to feel as if you don't. My husband, son and I dined last evening for our anniversary. To start, we the had fresh Cesar salad and our son had the jerk pork belly. I had the salmon with truffles, my husband had the chicken and our son had the best burger. For dessert there was banana cake and ice cream, for me without the cake, and my husband had stuffed donuts. The staff was absolutely professional, kind and understood what I could and could not eat. The great news was most dishes were fine for me to select. We added Nine-Ten to our rotation of local restaurants recently and I am happy we did!

Fantastic fine dining experience with friends! Beautiful view when seated outside. Everything was scrumptious - I was full; but still could've eaten more! A beautiful display of plating with loads of flavor. I'd recommend. Make sure to take a walk down to the La Jolla Cove after to see the Sealions.
My brother is a foodie, and I took him here for his birthday. He loved the whole experience, and every bite of the food! He said it was “exceptionally excellent”! He liked it better than our dinner last year at Animae. I also thought everything was consistently delicious, and especially loved the panna cotta. Soooo smooth and yummy!
Ambiance was pleasant, I’d say it’s “easygoing elegance”. Parking at 6pm on a Wednesday was easy, down the street.
I consider this a staple in La Jolla and a wonderful place to have a private room if you have toddlers with you!
Delicious food!! Please try their steaks, try their duck and try their lamb! Cannot speak for the others but I bet they will not disappoint (excuse the limited photos). Always finish with dessert just an FYI.
We had the chiefs six course meal. It was delicious! Paired with wine. What a fantastic experience.
I can’t believe I lived in San Diego, my whole life and just went to this restaurant for my first time. This place is a true hidden gem with phenomenal food, an amazing wine list, and great service. Chris was our waiter and he’s also the house sommelier. He was extremely knowledgeable and walked through the entire dining experience. We ordered an amazing bottle of burgundy as well as a bottle of Bordeaux. The food was ethereal. Not only did it look beautiful, but the flavors were amazing. I had a ribeye with a pomegranate sauce that was out of this world. My wife had these perfect scallops. We went with some friends, and everyone was blown away. We will definitely be back.
The pork belly appetizer was very salty, the blue cheese foam in the beet salad was overpowering, the lamb was decent, the duck was tasty and well cooked. The donuts for dessert were delicious.
The customer service was so attentive and nice. The food was so good, omg! I would definitely suggest the duck it was so good and flavorful!
I had heard about this restaurant multiple times and was finally able to check it out. You definitely need a reservation even in the middle of the week because the restaurant isn't exceptionally large and it's popular. The inside was classically designed and elegant.
Service was excellent, and we happen to go on Wednesday when bottles of wine are half price. We decided to go with a bottle, and we ordered the duck and the striped bass for our entrees.
We also got the tuna crudo which was incredible, as well as the Napoletano dessert which was top five desserts I've ever had at a restaurant. It had an incredible blend of textures and flavors that wasn't too sweet but incredibly dynamic and unique.
Absolutely go again. With the appetizer, to entrees and a dessert plus a half-price bottle of wine, after tip it was around $215 for two of us. Well worth it.
The food quality is great. They serve brunch lunch and dinner on weekdays and only brunch and dinner on weekends. Staff are friendly. If the weather is good, choose to seat outside. Make sure to make a reservation if it is a busy time. The burger and the sashimi are awesome, don't forget about them.
