Foodie Favorite: George's at the Cove in La Jolla

 George's at the Cove came highly recommended to us by several people ahead of a recent visit to the La Jolla area in San Diego.  The restaurant's location is spectacular, with a terrace featuring incredible views of La Jolla Cove Beach, its resident sea lions, and the Pacific Ocean itself - although we did have to contend with some fog on the night we were there.  The drinks and food were excellent, with the seafood dishes being standouts.  We settled on a special sea bass dish, served on a bed of greens and mushrooms, and topped with leeks and an Asian-influenced black sesame dressing - we were far from disappointed.  You can read more about George's on their site.
