Beaumont's

After a day at the beach, my boyfriend and I wandered around downtown la jolla looking for a nice but not too fancy place to grab some good food. we ended up in bird rock and found a not too crowded restaurant called Beaumont's...I am so glad that we stumbled upon this place. the complimentary bread and butter was in fact not the usual bread and butter, but rather bread and this DELICIOUS red pepper dip that I'm currently trying to create at home. we also shared some super tender short-ribs that were cooked to the perfection. Service was friendly and the place wasn't too loud or crowded.

This restaurant was above and beyond what I expected...I would definitely recommend it! I went with my sister and we were ravenous...as soon as the bread came we devoured it and it had an incredible red pepper dip to go along with it--perfect! Instead of getting entrees, we each got salads and "tastings" aka appetizers. Their tastings were really unique and varied. I got the three beat salad with goat cheese and almonds, and then had butternut squash gnocchis, which were unbelievable! My sister got the white pizza with spinach and cheeses and it was also incredible! We both had desserts, she had the chocolate lava cake that was mediocre, but my warm gingerbread cake with pumpkin ice cream and fruit was BEYOND amazing. Not only was the food amazing, but the servers were incredibly friendly, and the hostess started off our meal on an excellent note with her perky and friendly attitude. For the quality of the food we received, the prices couldn't be beat. I would easily recommend this place to any one of my friends.
