Stopped in at 4;30, dinner didn't start until 5:30, so we checked out the bar menu. It was pretty extensive, and cheap, so we loaded up on oysters, fish tacos, stuffed mushrooms, and clams. Drinks were reasonable too. Problems: the stuffed mushrooms were made with cheese that was going bad- the stink overwhelmed the supposed crab stuffing. the clams were... more

It's been a while since I was in LaJolla and visited the Crab Catcher, but I can't wait to go back. The view from the restaurant is unbelievable, you have to see it. My group stopped in after a kayaking trip, needless to say we weren't the best dressed group there, but we were made to feel welcome anyway. We... more

We decided to check it out mostly for its beautiful cliff, hillside and oceanviews high above the busy streets. We totally lucked out as we were able to take advantage of the "sunset dinner specials". Not only... more

We were there today and the soup and salads and raw oysters were great, but the "special of the day" crab sandwich was inedible. It does have a great view. more

My husband & I decided to try out the Crab catcher for Sunday brunch on our first day in La Jolla. Brunch entrees ran around $20 and include pastries and endless champagne.
