Restaurants. No. Quality Restaurants. Valet. Period. The Aventine in La Jolla is filled with four high quality restaurants including Japengo's (Sushi), Flemings (Steaks), The Melting Pot (Fondue), and Truluck's (Seafood). The dinner possibilities are endless by starting at Trulucks for drinks, then off to Flemings for dinner, and The Melting Pot for dessert. Or Flemings for drinks, Japengo's for dinner, etc, etc... There is plenty of street parking available, but due to the number of apartments in the area, finding an open space may require a bit of patience and a nice little walk. Instead, hit up the reasonably priced valet and enter just steps away from your favorite restaurant. Getting to the Aventine can be a bit tricky if you are not familiar with the area. Coming from most directions in San Diego, it is easiest to exit from the 5 and make your way straight onto University versus winding through the La Jolla business district. This is certainly one of my favorite date and celebration spots in San Diego. Come hungry. Leave happy. read more
