Cody's Restaurant - La Jolla , CA
Can we just talk about the spectacular view that comes with dining on the patio here?
You get this spectacular view of the Ocean and that would be reason enough to dine here if you are in this part of the World. Then, you get a bite of the food and you forget the amazing view for a minute and just stuff your face with bites of deliciousness.
I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and although I was tempted to order the blueberry basil lime spritzer that the folks at the next table ordered, I stuck with a classic hot tea which was perfectly brewed (I am very particular about my tea). The crab cake benedict is honestly one of the best meals I have ever had - you have lump crab cake , topped with avocado and a perfectly poached egg and covered in mounds of one of the best hollandiase sauce I have ever tried.
This place checks all the right boxes - even with the forty minute wait for a table (which was made bearable by the view), I will be back at Cody's if I am ever in that part of the World. We dined here on a holiday weekend, so that might have contributed to the long wait time - but if you are not in a hurry you can relax outside and take in the view and enjoy the beautiful California weather.
