Nautilus Tavern - La Jolla

The wings were a bit undercooked, and the surf and turf burger tasted as if all its ingredients had lost their flavor before being assembled. It’s not that anything was unpleasant; rather, it seemed like there was a lack of care in the preparation. On a positive note, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was laid-back.

A woman greeted us as we walked into the restaurant.We sat ourselves as soon as we walked in which was great.Server was helpful, friendly and had perfect timing.food was deliciousEven the bar tender was helpfuloverall great experienceKid-friendliness: There’s no kids menuBut there’s option typical kiddos would eat my daughter had BBQ wings but debated between that chicken tenders and Mac and cheese

They confirmed my reservation for Monday at 12:15, but when we arrived, the restaurant wasn't even open.

I came for Athena (mentioned many times and wife's name so had to check out) and had Lexi and Sarie, Athena may be great, but these two stole the show! Fabulous all around. Made our night... Owner, give these two a raise! Food was good. Ceviche brought me back to a Mexican adventure I had a few years ago and the best I've ever had. These two work horses are good and you should all come on down!

Athena B was absolutely phenomenally welcoming and lovely! We brought our small pups and she came out from behind the bar to give love to our pups love. Hospitality at its finest for a neighborhood restaurant. We will come back for sure.Vegetarian options: Beyond burger option for their burgers. Yum!
