Torreyana Grille Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

Made reservations for a late lunch on a Saturday at 2:30, but when we arrived was told they stopped serving lunch at 2:00. I didn't see that posted anywhere on the lunch menu or online, so was disappointed to have to order off the Bar Menu instead. The BBQ wings were fatty and way too spicy. The taco plate was bland. The avocado chicken salad was quite tasty but cost $21 which is very steep for a salad. The waiter was wonderful and only charged us for what we were satisfied with, but the dining experience as a whole was rather disappointing. I had been to this restaurant one other time this year and the food from the regular lunch menu was very good enough to make me want to go back and take my husband. Based on this experience however, we probably won't eat here again. But for others who are considering it, make sure to call and confirm you are arriving at a time when you can order off the regular lunch or dinner menus.

Ambiance is wonderful along with the service, wine, and food. 10+

The sea bass was unbelievable! Best I’ve ever had. All the food was above our expectations Ambiance is “hotel bar” dining which is not what we expected but the wait staff made up for it.

In town for a wedding. Had dinner with relatives. Love the ambiance and service was fabulous. The food however is a terrible value for such mediocre quality food. Many entrees are around $50. Pork chops were so dry it was hard to cut and chew it. It was left uneaten. Salmon was good but not great for its over $35 price. The ribeye is one of the expensive entrees and the cut of meat is so thin . The steak looked a bit grey and was not fresh or any kind of special aged beef or even prepared with a rub! It was so thin and something you might see a Sizzlers. At $50 they could have offered a better quality meat! The star of the table were the nachos. That’s unfortunate because this was supposed to be a fancy dinner for our reunion. Unfortunately we won’t be back

We celebrated Thanksgiving with dinner at the Torreyana Grille. We were a party of five adults and it was our first time at this property. We arrived one hour before our reservation time , but were still seated promptly. The service staff was top notch and very attentive throughout the entire dinner. For dinner, four members of our party ordered the traditional Thanksgiving dinner and it was excellent. The fifth person ordered a prime rib dinner, cooked medium. The prime rib was brought to the table at the same time as the traditional turkey dinners, but the meat was extremely rare. At first the person did not want to complain, but within five minutes realized that it was too rare for their taste. They asked that the it be cooked a little more and our waiter, who was very accommodating, took it back to the kitchen. Unfortunately, when it was returned to the table it was overcooked to the point of being inedible. We chose not to make it an issue and nothing was said at the time. This was the only reason for the less than perfect rating in the overall and food categories.
