A hand-blown glass sculpture stops Coral-bound guests in their mid-lobby tracks as a sea of deep teal and honeycomb wash welcomes all in silence. Blue Coral Seafood and Spirits is the epitome of understated elegance. A contemporary interior invites stainless steel and honeycomb wood to dance amid deep blue and teal intricacies.

The dining room evokes a serene shoreline setting with blue mosaic tiles and clean, playful sea-pale green and coral trim. A custom designed chandelier guards the dining room with iridescent drops of water, and five custom light fixtures recreate a natural sunset. Blue Coral takes theme to the extreme--while maintaining an air of class and prestige.

West of the dining room, a stunning bar backed by the infamous vodka wall awaits. Blue Coral features over 60 vodkas from around the world. The focal point of the restaurant, the bar is a dramatic display of fine vodkas varying in shape and size, lit by electric blue ambiance. From pairing vodka cocktails to fruit infused vodka flights, Blue Coral maintains a youthful edge, presented in style.

Two outdoor patios welcome cocktail hour and late night guests. White linen awnings and white lounge décor create a luxurious setting fit for an upscale La Jolla crowd. A fire pit warms patio guests into the night as vodka flights and fine fish specialties are enjoyed by all.

Blue Coral introduces a seasonal summer menu alongside patio dining specialties for this summer in San Diego. With a knowledge and passion for evolving the menu to pay tribute to the ever-changing seasons, Blue Coral's summer specialties evoke the freshest flavors paired with the highest quality fish of the season.
