RESTAURANT REVIEW
In business since 1984 and known as George's by the Cove for more than 20 years, perceptions changed when Chef Trey Foshee started offering diners the opportunity to eat at Table Three. While the table offers lovely views of the Pacific Ocean, the special tasting menu that Foshee serves the table, which is filled with treasures sourced from the legendary Chino Farms (they supply produce to Chez Panisse and Spago, among others), like a peach, prosciutto and burrata salad or an ancho chile-grilled pork chop with creamed corn and peppers, is even better than the vistas. Other dishes revolve around locally sourced sea food such as sea urchin or swordfish. Located in the heart of La Jolla Village, the combination of "solid food" and "an exceptional view" make it "the best restaurant between Los Angeles and the Mexican border."
