The Cottage at La Jolla

Last week we went to the Cottage for some brunch. It is a famous and rightfully crowded breakfast place, and yes in the weekend it is jam-packed. I particularly enjoyed the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and the Benedict. Hospitality-wise the waiters were friendly but the place was just too crowded and tables were small. Not much complain here though. Worth trying!

Blue Water Grill

Blue Water Grill is a down-to-earth, affordable and tasty seafood joint in Mission Hill. Located right by the free way I-5 this restaurant is not that easy to find, except for the always long line outside of the restaurant. It is that good.

I particularly enjoy the grill shrimps (jumbo shrimps are better yet), and the grill fish can get dry, not to my taste, but the shrimp is definitely a must try. I don't take the word "must" lightly.
