Restaurants near Scripps Institution of Oceanography

One of the best and most creative meals we've had in quite a while. Highly recommended.We will dine here again.

Gorgeous location with amazing food! Perfect place to take out of town guests or just have great food and drinks with friends.

Fabulous location! We enjoyed the view and the restaurant is nicely designed. We had a lovely celebration for our newlyweds💞Our server, John, made everything so nice for us. The menu was great, plenty of choices for everyone. I loved the famous lobster bisque, delicious!! Everything was perfect, thank you!!

We had such an amazing time celebrating a birthday. Keyrin was not our server, however she noticed we had questions and was extremely eager and helpful in answering them. She gave us plenty of menu recommendations. One being the Cabo Azul that we got and absolutely loved. That lobster enchilada with the poblano cream sauce was INCREDIBLE. After our meal she even came back to ask if we enjoyed it even though she wasn’t our server. Which we really appreciated. I wish I remembered our actual servers name because she was very attentive to us as well. Overall we had a great experience and will be back solely for that enchilada 😋

As usual, Piatti was wonderful. We ate inside at 6 pm, on a Tuesday evening, and the noise level was quiet. There were three of us, and the service, as usual was lovely, impeccable, and non-intrusive. Two of us shared a Caesar salad, and when we were asked if anchovies were ok, my guest said “how many will there be?” The server responded ‘usually one.’ So we asked for two, and we were served three. . .each! Good portions of the salad as well. My wife loved her Cannelloni. . .she says it’s the only restaurant that gets it “right.” Our guest loved his Veal Piccata, tho the risotto - mushroom cake was for him only “good.” I had the Ravioli which I named “ravishing.” We’ve never been disappointed at Piatti. . .indeed, I hosted my wife’s birthday party there a few years ago. They were so, so gracious! (And of course the food was delicious).
