First day will be first-come, first-serve; reservations are available beginning February 7
San Diego, Calif. – George’s at the Cove in downtown La Jolla will re-open its iconic Ocean Terrace rooftop dining area and bar on Friday, February 6 after a three-month closure for remodeling. Guests will be seated on a first-come, first-serve basis that day, and reservations are available beginning Saturday, February 7. Partner/Chef Trey Foshee made the announcement.
To celebrate the grand re-opening, George’s will offer 50 percent off select bottles of Hill Family Estate wines for the first month for in-person dining. The restaurant’s relationship with the Napa Valley winery dates more than 30 years.
The renovated Ocean Terrace includes a new foundation and flooring, new four-foot-tall perimeter glass wall without obstructing steel pillars, new umbrella plan with LED lighting, new permanent heaters, new wall sconces, new dining tables, and a new host stand. The main dining area capacity of 120 guests remains the same.
“Much like the renovations of two baseball cathedrals in Fenway Park and Wrigley Field in recent years, our improvements are meant to be mostly seamless to blend in with what we already had,” Foshee said. “You just don’t mess with something magical. While the price tag of our remodel eclipsed the seven-figure mark, guests may not even notice everything. And that’s OK, especially with that million-dollar view of the water they enjoy that has never changed.”
The kitchen team is now led by Foshee, Executive Chef Masa Kojima, and Pastry Chef Zach Schneider – all working alongside General Manager Mike Grave. “It’s been an incredible ride for more than 41 years, and we hope our investment ensures that the restaurant will remain a go-to spot for the next several decades,” Hauer said. “We always want to provide a special place for both locals and visitors to our great city.”
George’s also completed a remodel of its Level2 dining area and bar last April. The covered, but open-air space has a new roof with five retractable awnings, new high-top counter with eight seats facing the water, new dining tables, new or reupholstered furnishings, and new light fixtures.
George’s was inducted to Nation’s Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of Fame in 2001, becoming the first San Diego restaurant to earn membership.
