The Mediterranean Room and Tropical Patio at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Mediterranean Room offers a warm and cozy ambiance with a sweeping view of the Pacific.
This is a review of the pre made 2/14/08 Valentine Dinner.
Positive:
1. Past Reviews
2. Location and valet parking very satisfactory
3. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant with incredible views.
Negative:
1. I felt the food was not worth the value and lacks any variety. The bread was not warm. It consisted of 4 slices of cold sour dough. The soup was a nasty shrimp broth with 1 deep fried giant shrimp dangling on one side. The salad was very rough blend of greens. Both the main dishes were lacking in flavor and imagination. .
2. The service needs improved etiquette skills with the Mediterranean Room.
3. The dessert etc are the same in almost all restaurants and lacks a homemade chef touch.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a romantic dinner don't bother coming to the La Valencia Valentine Dinner in the Mediterranean Room. It lacks surprises or should I say it full of surprises! You will be spending most of your evening arguing over the horrible choice of food selection and service. The pre arrange meal is not worth the $75.00 per person rate. I felt taken advantage or a better word be robbed by a holiday meal with no imagination. The food was very unsatisfactory.
Btw, I did leave a the standard 15% gratuity plus 1 penny under the water glass.
