Restaurant Review
The Sky Room offers an elegant, sophisticated dining experience, bringing back an era of formal service and distinctive French cuisine. With only 12 booths and tables, guests are able to see the striking 180° view of the Pacific Ocean from any vantage point in the restaurant. An excellent wine list of California and French wines is available.Video

Fabulous meal and service
Name: Robin | Date: June.13.2007 My husband and I took my mother and father to this great restaurant for my mother's birthday. We were all blown away by the view, service and food. We were seated at a table in the middle of the room so we could see the view through all the windows. This restaurant is one of the few that carries my husband's favorite wine. The waiters were very attentive. They brought out all of our food at the same time and displayed it with awesome flair. My father started to get up and a waiter was right there to help him his seat. The food was superb. You could cut the filet mignon with a butter knife. And the desserts are to die for. After the meal, my parents stepped out to the balcony to take in the view of the pacific ocean. As we left, they gave my mother a rose and a box of chocolates to bring home. We loved every moment of the night. Sky Room made my mother's birthday a very special day.
The Lie Room
Name: Linda | Date: April.08.2006 About three weeks ago, we made reservations for The Sky Room to celebrate my birthday. We had read glowing reviews. I went online and was impressed – only 12 tables, all with great views (thus the name –“sky room”). My husband and I arrived and were escorted to a booth. My husband is a big guy, so we asked for a table, and were promptly seated in a table where my view was of a coat rack and my husband was looking directly at a supporting pillar. Not what we expected. A female employee explained that they would open the blinds when the sun started to set. I explained it didn’t matter from where we were sitting, as my husband had no view of the windows (my view was a partial view to the left of the coat rack, but not great). I further explained that it was my understanding that all tables were along the windows with views – at which time the female employee explained that the restaurant had put in additional tables that evening. I then explained it was my birthday, we had made reservations three weeks ago, and asked if we could sit at the one remaining table near a window. We were told that it was reserved for a party of three (which made no sense, since both the booth and table we were at could seat three). When we said we were leaving, the female said “Have a Happy Birthday,” which we took as quite a sarcastic remark under the circumstances. I was actually in shock at the disdainful way we were treated. Having not dined there previously, I have no other impression at this point. If anyone had taken a moment to apologize or offer the slightest kindness, we would have stayed. Instead, we felt dismissed. Obviously, the evening was not as we expected. The Sky Room turned out to be a profound disappointment.
Very upscale with excellent service
Name: chris | Date: February.15.2005 There aren't very many tables here so it feels a little cramped but the service is excellent. They said a jacket was required but everybody wasn't wearing tuxedos, just turtlenecks and sportcoats. The steaks were huge, much bigger than we expected. Probably one of the top restaurants in La Jolla as far as price.
