RAISED BY WOLVES @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Raised by Wolves is located inside UTC La Jolla, tucked away in the very back of the mall near the Din Tai Fung area. I would definitely recommend parking around Corner Bakery or near 24 Hour Fitness for the closest way in. This was my very first time going to Raised by Wolves. I made a reservation on OpenTable, and if you are reading this right now, I highly recommend booking one. When we got there, the wait was two hours for people without a reservation. I booked for 9 PM on a Saturday night with my friends after dinner. We actually arrived at UTC earlier than expected, so we let the host know and they let us in about 20 minutes early. As for parking, they do not validate here. Parking is free for the first hour and then two dollars per hour after that, so just be aware that you may end up paying for parking when you visit this bar. It is set up like a speakeasy, which is really cool. You get to see where the actual bar is hidden. We ended up ordering a bunch of cocktails and the drinks were super great. I really loved the vibe overall. It was lively and chatty, and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very dark and classy. Keep in mind they do not serve food here. It is purely drinks only. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

I came here for my birthday and I have to say this was genuinely one of the best experiences I…read morehave ever had at a restaurant. We had the Filet mignon, spiced lamb chops, potato puree and Mac and cheese as well as starting with the bread platter and ending with the sticky toffee pudding. Both the lamb and filet mignon was cooked perfectly and they basically melted in your mouth. The potatoes were so smooth and delicious, and the mac and cheese was some of the best I've had. The sticky toffee pudding was something I was skeptical of, but it being chef Ramsay's specialty I was keen to try it and was happy I did, it was quite delicious and it's description of ingredients don't do the flavor justice, I would highly recommend anyone try it. Our server was George, and I am so happy we ended up with him as our server. He has a great personality and was happy to talk to us and joke with us over the course of dinner and was always prompt about our needs and to updating us on the status of our food. A member of the management by the name of Moona came around to talk to us and she was incredibly sweet and happy and eager to hear our feedback. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect of a restaurant by Gordon Ramsay. Modern, simple, but extremely nice. Overall I cannot recommend this restaurant enough to anyone who has their eye on this place. The food is an amazing experience and the staff work overtime to make the experience unforgettable.

The bartender and the other guy made us even espresso martini and other cocktails. Everything tasted so good. Loved the Mexican candy shot and the Mexican coco drink. Couldn't even taste the alcohol.

I've been wanting to Try El Viejon for Mexican food, but everytime I go to El Viejón in my Area in…read moreConvoy street there's no available seats 'coz it's too small inside and it has very limited tables. So we went here in Mira Mesa and they had plenty of seating, and they had nice decors and lighting inside. We got seated quickly and so we made our order quickly too. Here is what we had: *EL VIEJON FAJITAS (Mix combo: Steak, Chicken, Shrimps) *WHOLE FRIED FISH (Red Snapper) *CAMPECHANA (Shrimp, Octopus, Scallop) *VIEJON EMPANADAS (Smoked Fish) *AL PASTOR TACOS COMBO *OCTOPUS TACOS COMBO *GUAVA MARGARITA I was really craving for a CAMPECHANA, this has SHRIMPS, SCALLOPS, and OCTOPUS. This one came with tortilla chips, usually I get a crackers with it in some restaurants, but tortilla chips are still okay. I added some spicy sauce and the next thing I know I forgot to share it with my Son and Husband, I like this CAMPECHANA ;) For appetizers I chose their VIEJON EMPANADA with smoked Fish fillings and I didn't like it, I thought that since it was an Empanada that it would be full of Flavor, but it's bland. My Son had the AL PASTOR TACO COMBO and OCTOPUS TACO COMBO, both of these Tacos were delicious, but the presentation of the AL PASTOR TACO and how the rice and beans looked like is the part that I didnt like, it's like they just Tossed the rice and beans in a rush. A small mexican restaurant nearby had a better food presentation than how they shaped the Rice and Beans on their plate here. My husband ordered the WHOLE FRIED FISH (RED SNAPPER), this one had pretty plating and was delicious, with all those dipping sauces, beans, tortilla, and salad, this is a good one. My Husband ate it with the Tortilla and I ate this Fish with the Rice. And for my food I got the EL VIEJON FAJITAS (Mix combo protein of SHRIMPS, STEAK, and CHICKEN). Omg the meats are tender, the shrimps are juicy, and it has nice Seasoning, really good Fajitas. My Drink was the GUAVA MARGARITA. I love anything with Guava flavor, and this one was a delicious guava margarita. Customer service is great here, our Server and another Guy bringing our food to the table were both very friendly and always on the lookout on our table for what else we might need. Also, other staff passing by our table always had this glowing smile, they are happy servers here to all the tables they pass by. Parking is okay, lots of space to park.

Initially, I'd added Harlow's on our list of places to check out, but feeling adventurous -- and given we were already in the area -- we chanced getting in. Fortunately for us, there were 2 seats at the bar top! What an adventure for us to drive out there; located within what was once a golf course. From the moment you enter through the front door, it's old school luxury and elegance: low, dim lighting (some areas darker and more intimate than others); a variety of seating options, some with beautiful, plush furnishings and fascinating art & decor; classy vibe yet casual and comfortable. Very speakeasy. Entertainment is performed on select nights. The staff was wonderful! Given this unexpected stop, we enjoyed cocktails only; however, friendly guests around us praised their menu items. Exquisite find -- one in which we plan to revisit very soon.
