The Winery Restaurant Wine Bar- La Jolla

We are regular customers at this restaurant, but Sunday was disappointing. The kitchen seemed to be having an off day, even though it wasn't very busy. Our guest with Celiac disease ordered a frittata without potatoes, but it was served with them anyway, with the waiter claiming the kitchen had forgotten. The spare rib hash was also disappointing, with very little meat and what was there was dry. We are concerned that the quality may be declining at this establishment.

The staff at the restaurant was friendly but not very attentive. The food was mediocre and overpriced. I considered trying a different appetizer, but no one came to check on us for a long time, so I missed the opportunity. The highlight of our meal was the cocktail I had. Overall, my husband and I were not impressed and would not return to this establishment.

Had a good experience here. Waiter was very friendly. Food was very good but a bit small in portion size. Only issue was that the process for the hostess asking patrons to wait at the front desk area doesn't work for their space. There is ZERO room for this. My wife and I were constantly having to move around for other guests or, worse yet, food bussers carrying plates of food, coming through the area.

My wife, son, and I had a wonderful experience at The Winery. The outdoor seating area had plenty of heaters to keep us comfortable on the chilly evening. The staff made sure that my young son received his food promptly, and he thoroughly enjoyed the pasta. The meals and wine that my wife and I ordered were exceptional. We will definitely return to The Winery during our next visit to San Diego.

Best comments first. Our server, Rosa was fantastic! During the evening the Manager, Jessi, introduced herself and was simply amazing in assisting us with our less than wonderful dishes that we had ordered. Jessi should be complimented by this restaurant's ownership and promoted! The wine was wonderful which Jessi provide excellent guidance on. The restaurant is lovely. Unfortunately our food was not great. The filet was well done instead of medium rare and the rack of lamb was so tough, it was inedible. Perhaps the fact that it was Christmas Eve caused the kitchen to be overly busy, but it was disappointing to say the least. It is unlikely we will return.
