Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant at 5680 La Jolla Blvd in Bird Rock, La Jolla, 92037, housed inside the landmark 1930s Piano Building. Owners Eric and Zoe Kleinbub transformed the iconic space into an upscale tropical dining room with mid-century interiors, a circular tiki-inspired bar, and an open patio — next door to Beaumont's, the two forming Bird Rock's definitive dinner-and-drinks anchor. Executive Chef Anders Rubini Jensen — a Copenhagen native and Eleven Madison Park alum — leads the kitchen with California-forward cuisine featuring local, seasonal ingredients and Asian inflections. Signature dishes include the jalapeño Caesar salad, lobster spaghetti, coconut-lime robata shrimp, and the indulgent Whaler dessert. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 4:30 PM — and Bird Rock neighbors who want wood-fired pizza before cocktails start the evening at Wheat & Water up the Boulevard.
