The San Diego area has a multitude of romantic restaurants. Some of the best include: George’s at the Cove, the Star of the Sea, Le Fontainebleau, Bertrand's at Mr. A's, and Mille Fleurs. 

George’s at the Cove 

One of the most romantic spots for a dinner date in San Diego is George’s at the Cove in La Jolla which offers a breathtaking view of the Pacific. The restaurant overlooks La Jolla cove – one of the most beautiful spots in the San Diego area. George's has garnered praise from Gourmet Magazine, Food & Wine Magazine, Bon Appetit, GQ Magazine, and the New York Times. 

You’ll enjoy an elegant dining experience and exemplery service at George’s. The restaurant’s wine list has received the award of excellence by Wine Spectator. The food and drinks are pricey – dinner, drinks and desert for two in the main dining room will likely cost you more than $150 – but, it’s well worth it. It’s difficult to find a parking space on the street in La Jolla, so valet parking offered by George’s may be your best option. George’s is open seven days a week. Dinner is served from 5:30 to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. 

When you’re finished eating, you and your date might enjoy a romantic walk around La Jolla. There are a multitude of shops and art galleries in the quaint business district of the “village” where George’s is located. Most of the shops in the village stay open until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. An after dinner drink at the historic La Valencia Hotel, about a block north of George’s on Prospect Street, would also top off the evening, or you could take your date to a theatrical performance at the La Jolla Playhouse. Phone (858) 550-1010 for ticket information. The La Jolla Playhouse is located a short drive away from George’s at the Cove on the campus of the University of California, San Diego.
