Fresh

$$, Seafood, La Jolla

User Rating: **** 3.7

Fodor's Review:

By all means request a patio table when reserving at this hip, popular eatery that doubles as a fashion show of some of La Jolla's ladies-who-lunch. The food can be good indeed, from ultrafresh oysters on the half-shell with green apple -cucumber mignonette sauce to crisp roast chicken in red wine sauce. Seafood stars in all courses, starting with pan-seared sea scallops with a shallotpotato cake and continuing with grilled mahimahi and black sesamecrusted ahi.

Sitting in, but Outdoors

Posted by Diana410 from Chesapeake, Virginia on 10/17/07

No matter what the weather, you can sit outside, but still covered by a canopy. Cool nights are helped by heat lamps. We had lunch and two dinners here, all were delicious. The desserts are actually three different desserts on one plate, all relating to each other.

Fresh does not equal good

Posted by sd_foodies from san diego on 5/3/07

We went to Fresh today for lunch and did not enjoy our experience. It was our first time there and it will be our last. We ordered the fish tacos, steak salad and ahi burger. The fish was not very fresh tasting and the tastes of the sauces were thrown together with out any thought. The salad had too much dressing, tea was too strong and the whole meal was over priced for the quality of food. Save the calories and eat at one of the many other good San diego restaurants.

Fresh isn't just the name.....

Posted by deanna from burbank,ca on 1/27/06

My friend and I went out for a nice dinner but after a killer martini and scallop appitizer we decided to opt for dining at the not busy bar. Autumn, the bartender, was a gem, super nice and gave us great service. We decided to try a lot of different things and share our meals...... great choice. We had the pear salad, potato and leek soup, prawn crusted seabass, and vanilla panacatta with apricot sorbet and fresh peaches. Every course was more delicious than the next. Courses were all good size, no super fancy and tiny meals here. Definately will return next time we are in town.
