    I mainly came here to try shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and it was delicious. My husband had a BLT sandwich and he enjoyed it as well. The restaurant sits on the second floor with a nice view of the ocean. It was nice and quiet on a weekday morning with relaxing atmosphere. Good service.

    Breakfast date with the hubby. Much needed fresh air with a beautiful view. My eggs were a little overcooked. But overall it was a good experience. Our server was very attentive. #DiningWithTheAndersons #SanDiegoLiving #Blessed

    Parking always a challenge here but not impossible. Great food and service. The lobby area is nothing like the outside. Very nice with a beautiful view. I had the omelet with grits and potatoes and my friend loved her fish and chips. Drinks are pretty and strong too. Would go again! All men staff too-interesting ...

    We came for a brunch on Thursday. I really enjoyed the outside sitting and the friendly server. Food was delicious and we did not wait long to get it, we took dozens of pictures while we were waiting for Food.

    YUM went here for brunch as a trio of girls enjoying the day in La Jolla and it was perfect - food was tasty and service was fast. we ate outside and had a beautiful view of the ocean! The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building and you need to go upstairs to get to it - we walked right by it at first and almost missed it

    Cody's has a very beautiful view so you should try to get an outdoor seat. The food itself was okay! Nothing to write home about but definitely good. The food is not cheap either. If you are trying to come here for value this is definitely not it. I got the surf and turf Benedict for about 30 bucks and it was a very very small portion size. This place is definitely for the vibes not the food! The service was definitely great. People were super nice and tentative and made sure we were taken care off. I only recommend of you are looking for a nice view and a good chat.

    Great location, great place. Stopped by for brunch, and they had a great food selection without being overwhelmed. Service was nice and the food came out super quickly. Our table was always being taken care of The food was delicious. We had omelets, which were delicious and their pricing is very reasonable. Their location is perfect for seeing the ocean from afar and we had a great time. If you are in the area, try them out and share your experiences. Happy brunch time! Check the pics!

    Surf and turf Benedict!

    I don't usually leave reviews but when I tell you.... The Food was amazing! I got the surf and turf bene. GENEROUS portion. Gabriel was our server and he was outstanding. We also got the crab cakes and they were two big cakes. Pricing was GREAT for the portion. 10/10 view. 10/10 service. 10/10 quality. I definitely 100% recommend!

    Date of Visit: 12.27.2025 Cuisine Type: American/Seafood Vibe: Nautical themed with amazing view over La Jolla Cost: ~$20-$30 depending on what you get This was a nice little discovery recommended by my parents who sometimes walk around La Jolla (very unexpected surprise). This place was ultra busy but we were fortunate to come during an off peak time (wait was still 35 minutes) What We Ordered: Cappuccino - 4/5 - I prefer cold brew but this was as expected milk and chocolatey with the hint of coffee. Cody's Burgers -4/5 - All the elements of a good burger (i simply don't like most burgers since it's just too messy to manage), the fries are double fried so it remains the nice crispiness despite being round wet ingredients Lobster Roll - 5/5- Massive...you have the tail and claws and a 1/2 a loaf of toasted brioche bread...it is honestly worth the cost Steak and Frites -4/5- Cooked well! The green sauce is creamy but I guess if we are doing sauce I prefer chimichurri French Toast -3/5- Everything is fresh on this plate. Not too sweet but I guess the french toast isn't that crispy but also I personally don't really like horchata egg toast Fish n Chips -5/5- The breading is done right...light enough so it creates crisp and not become its own entity when you take a bite. Also their cole slaw doesn't use typical ranch it feels like greek yogurt or something. I actually really appreciate the nod towards making things actually healthy Atmosphere: Clean, feels relatively private even though we were pretty much next to the main door, open bar concept in the center, and there is a deck further down the restaurant with more open air dining environment Service: Quick and friendly staff Ambiance: Fun, festive with sea decor, and great view of people and the coast Overall Thoughts: Best thing I ate: Lobster Roll Something to improve: Most things are pretty peak already. I think if anything make the french toast crispier and the burger easier to eat heh. See y'all again one day.

    This place was super cute and had such great reviews, so we had to give it a try and it did not disappoint! Right by the beach with such a beautiful La Jolla vibe. The service was great and surprisingly quick, and the food was pretty good too! Definitely a cute spot to add to the brunch list.

    We've been here for a late brunch a couple times on the weekend and haven't had a wait for a table. Both times we were seated at the same booth. The frose is very good, especially on a warm day. My husband typically gets the lobster roll while I get a benedict. Both entrees are very good and filling. Service has been good as well. The servers are friendly, though there is sometimes a bit of a wait to get drinks and food when they are busy. Overall, a great spot for brunch. A little pricey, but that is expected with the area. Dog friendly as well.

    Family suggested this restaurant while we were in town and it did not disappoint. Soon as I saw the blueberry pancakes, I knew that I had to have them. I also went with (crispy) bacon and a side of potatoes that were delicious! The staff were very friendly and attentive. And of course, the views of La Jolla Cove were stunning

If you go, definitely sit on the rooftop...the views overlooking La Jolla Cove are spectacular, and you really can't beat the vibe. We came with a large group and ordered a little bit of everything, so it's impossible to name all of our favorites, but the ribs were absolutely divine. And you're seriously missing out if you don't get the Hula Pie for dessert! The Ahi tuna plate was good, but I preferred the chicken plate. The taco appetizers were tasty, though pretty small, while the nachos were a generous size and loaded up with toppings. The cocktail menu was also fun & creative. Everyone in our group seemed to love what they ordered: the Kiwi Mojito was a surprise favorite, with several people ordering a second. The Mai Tai & Honi Honi were also delicious. It's definitely on the pricier side and very popular with tourists, but I think the views, vibe, and overall experience make it worth it. Service is quick and friendly, but do beware of seagull attacks-they're vultures!!!!! A beautiful spot that I'd happily visit again!

First, while we were waiting for our table, we were told that the coffee near the check-in area was complimentary while we waited. When we were seated, we brought our coffee cups with us, only to find out later that we had been charged $5 each for our coffees. We didn't say anything, but it definitely didn't leave the best taste in our mouths. So double check your bill if you pick up a free coffee while waiting for your table. One of my favorite meals here is the risotto Benedict. It was still good, but unfortunately, it didn't taste quite as good as it normally does. After we left, my stomach was very upset, and I ended up having to make an emergency stop at the La Jolla Shores bathrooms before heading home. Our waiter was also a little slow. It took quite a while for our water to give us water after a long walk on the beach and then our bill took forever as well. On top of that, the waiter commented "Impressive" because I had finished my entire plate. I had been fasting for 24 hours, but regardless, I don't think commenting on how much a customer eats is really appropriate. It was just a little strange. Anyway, just a heads-up. I'm sure I'll come back, and hopefully everything will be back to normal and great as usual!

Our favorites were the duck pasta and tomato and burrata appetizer, but everything was delicious. Highly recommend sharing everything family style - you'll want to try as much as possible! In addition to the great food, everyone here was amazing. For one, our server accidentally put in an appetizer that we didn't order, and instead of taking it away, they gave it to us as a complimentary treat. They also explained everything well, packed things up for us as we went so that we had room for new dishes, and gave a full sized cheesecake slice as the complimentary birthday dessert. Overall, I will absolutely consider coming back to Catania for any special occasion, or just a delicious meal!

The hostess was a short young woman with straight dark hair. She gave us a cold, unfriendly, almost hostile look and quietly mumbled, "Please wait." There was no smile, no warmth, no "Hi" or "Welcome" -- just a very dismissive attitude. We waited for a bit and then watched her chatting casually and comfortably with other guests. It was hard not to notice the difference in how we were treated, and honestly, it just felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. This is La Jolla, and for a restaurant at this level, we expected a basic level of hospitality and professionalism. Instead, the whole vibe was off from the moment we walked in. So we decided not to stay and simply left. First impressions matter, and unfortunately ours was a very bad one. Hopefully management takes a look at the front-of-house experience, because people absolutely notice these things. Wishing Catania the best.

After being sat on the patio and before ordering, we checked out all the merch inside, an explosion of color and sparkle. The indoor seating is a room of inviting, plush, forest green chairs and the walls dripping in white and blush pink flowers. The quote "Cooking is my soul's desire, eating is my heart's calling" catches your eye on the north wall. One of my friend's and I decided to order 2 entrees and split them - the Spicy Shakshuka Sunrise Skillet (2 eggs poached with fire-roasted tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, fresno pepper, cilantro, yellow onion, feta, harissa, cumin, chili flakes, and sourdough bread) and the Windansea Breakfast Bagel (with scrambled egg whites, Irish cheddar, sauteed garlic spinach, and avocado on a Big City everything bagel). That was a smart call because both were amazing and re-orderable. The shakshuka was flavorful but not intolerable spicy hot. The bagel made the sammich. All was washed down with a Cafe Viennese (coffee with honey, cinnamon, and vanilla, a great sub for my usual Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbies). The service was great and engaging and not a hustle for us to churn and burn our meal. Would love to return and indulge in some of the retail in addition to some pancake or waffles.

I can't speak on the ambiance as inside dining was closed and only available on weekends. We sat outside the restaurant under a tented area, that had a nice decor. We only had a slight issue dealing with flies at our table having only outdoor seating available. Next time I would come on a weekend to be able to enjoy inside dining! It was our first visit and our waiter Chris was very knowledgeable of the menu items and gave us great recommendations being 1st timers! Customer service all around was great! As soon as we walked up, we were greeted immediately and sat down shortly thereafter. One upside to dining outside under the tent is we had no problem getting the attention of our waiter or any workers for that matter because it was such close quarters. It appeared they also had some tables set up outside the actually restaurants walls along their porch area. We ordered: The Big Bad Biscuit & Bird - Biscuit was thick and perfectly baked all the way through. Gravy lacked a bit of flavor for my liking, nothing that salt, pepper, and some of their hot honey sauce (that comes with the entree) couldn't fix! Chicken strips were thin but surprisingly not dry for its size, along with scrambled eggs. I enjoyed they did not skimp on the gravy as a good amount gravy is needed for their thick biscuits! Blueberry Love Pancakes - Lemon curd in the pancake itself was a treat but, the real star of the dish is the blueberry compote on top! Bread Pudding French toast - Perfect texture, not too soggy or wet but just enough moistness. DELICIOUS and MUST ORDER Strawberry Lemonade - strawberry flavor stood out and lemonade was not too sour. Nice balance of both flavors! Mango Lemonade - I was NOT A FAN! Unlike the strawberry lemonade, I was not able to taste ANY mango flavor at all! I definitely would be back to try more dishes but, on a WEEKEND, to be able to enjoy inside dining! This location is also a bakery although we were too full after our entrees to entertain baked goods. Definitely a location to consider if you need a good brunch location!
