We love going to Eddie V's in La Jolla. It is a beautiful location and the service is always excellent, catering to the customer's wants and desires for the evening. We requested our favorite server, Gustavo, and we are never disappointed in his attentiveness and efforts to make us comfortable. We return every time we are in La Jolla.

We had a wonderful lunch here on the patio with our dog. Our server, Jose, was absolutely a joy. He made us laugh, we had fun conversation, he had great suggestions and was super accommodating. Our food was delicious. We will definitely come back!

We had Jessica as our server. She was great! Attentive and responsive. The entire staff were soooo polite! I had the strawberry rhubarb French toast and it was delightful. My husband had the American breakfast with scrambled eggs and it was delicious. The bacon side was amazing and just ask for extra crispy if you like it that way. It was perfect! I would so eat here again.

Brockton Villa has a wonderful ambiance, and I think we were fortunate to have one of the best seats in the house. The setting was beautiful and made the experience especially enjoyable. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and professional. While the food was just okay and didn't quite match the overall experience, the lovely atmosphere and exceptional service made our visit worthwhile.

    Late night dinner on a Monday night was excellent. Server (forgot his name) was really efficient and helpful. He made a great recommendation on a Willamette Valley Pinot Grigio. Mussels were unbelievable with slightly spicy sauce that had us asking for 3 more bread baskets to soak up the sauce. Other starters were good though thought the crab cakes a bit doughy. Ahi tuna and halibut were excellent. It was a quiet Monday night nad we had the place to ourselves to enjoy the mild October night in Del Mar!
