Restaurants near Lux Art Institute

Beautiful view from the patio overlooking the beach. There was plenty of shade during lunch. Valet parking was convenient. The price was very reasonable for Friday lunch. We enjoyed the menu options. The flavors they combined were delicious. All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient.

Went to PCG after a long absence due to retiring. Went with a friend and we requested a table with a view when I made the reservation. When we got to the restaurant for lunch, it was packed! Our table wasn't ready despite us being early so we patiently waited and before we knew it, the table was ready; about 10 min earlier than our reservation time (we were about 25 min early). BTW, there's only valet parking for $8 (which you would hope they would lower or make it on par with Jake's for $5). Anyways, we ordered salads. I got the beet and goat cheese salad which said it came on arugula except mine came on spinach which was fine since I love spinach. I added grilled chicken for protein. It was deeelish - maybe a tiny bit overdressed but not inedibie that's for sure. My friend got a cobb salad that looked great. Our server was very good - got us waters and drinks right away and checked on us regularly but wasn't annoying. Enjoyed our meal. It would be nice if they offered warm bread while you waited (as I think they did this in the past) but it seems every restaurant is now charging for what used to be complimentary.

The Best food in SD. We always bring out-of-town guests here to impress them with the unique and delicious food.

This is one of the nicest places in the area to sit and have a happy hour drink, which is all we’ve done until now. But we heard the food was good (the happy hour fries are outstanding) so we went for dinner. The food was really tasty, all of us very much enjoyed what we ordered. The scallops were very pricey at $46 for 3 scallops, but they were cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be back (and I’ll probably have the pork chop).

Tony our waiter was the best and thoughtful and at our beck and call. He went beyond and then some. We celebrated our anniversary overlooking the beach scene. I am so grateful to have chosen Jake’s for our 24th anniversary celebration The Pyros
