They have just the right thing to cure a sweet tooth as well as a hungry belly for breakfast. You can chose to eat either inside of the restaurant or out on the patio (in the winter the patio is heated with space heaters).<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCnGUlwrEh51AmbDb9U-W5EVpIglVFV7Gu-6gK4luHmeBdmuO1ew8ZkY-lIOt_dVMEqxmPqpUrCcZrkDUkpD93j_DYo6CbzZbxrjYc034tZCGrpMXsArInKOb6Ua_VtdCOPMckwagOd8/s1600-h/DSC02617.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295437406158389170" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCnGUlwrEh51AmbDb9U-W5EVpIglVFV7Gu-6gK4luHmeBdmuO1ew8ZkY-lIOt_dVMEqxmPqpUrCcZrkDUkpD93j_DYo6CbzZbxrjYc034tZCGrpMXsArInKOb6Ua_VtdCOPMckwagOd8/s320/DSC02617.JPG" border="0" /></a> They do not accept reservations and there is often a wait on the weekends.

Prices are reasonable for the genre. All the fillers are fresh, they use real cut fried potatoes (home fries). The coffee is good. The place is a bit small. There is outside seating in the back. The decor is interesting, lots of old articles displayed everywhere. The staff was attentive and friendly.<br /><br />Rated 1 kiss and $Paulinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11544772754415683271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679910588465786315.post-14119254639744357562008-12-13T22:42:00.000-08:002008-12-13T23:03:35.428-08:00George's at the Cove<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zC7nBTIhjW3LeVK0lL0nDgQlVALCovKIqDnzTtUDAV6SYnJCxdsikiYO683Z_3TzgzxZNAlgNwIb6FktrCo0S9EcbfH1FVfqR1Gs3VDVEszxTqUUXrammrLy9l0fj0KAHem1DQJGG7g/s1600-h/IMGP0347.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279536841684937874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zC7nBTIhjW3LeVK0lL0nDgQlVALCovKIqDnzTtUDAV6SYnJCxdsikiYO683Z_3TzgzxZNAlgNwIb6FktrCo0S9EcbfH1FVfqR1Gs3VDVEszxTqUUXrammrLy9l0fj0KAHem1DQJGG7g/s320/IMGP0347.JPG" border="0" /></a> located at 1250 Prospect St La <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jolla</span></span><br /><div><div><div>Without a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">doubt</span> this three level property has one of the finest views in the city - a panorama of La <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jolla</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Cove</span> and miles of Pacific Coast.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlbkQWabURgqi1-U4ydq5djqjnJ4EEno4Sje2TH34nkX7XUvF2Pkhzrdtxr6E777-6pZcALidV5RJq-t5QB0ArFjmyqOfiUTLrNTBHGs0F3I_zIhVZT-O9UZs8rpSL-ptvLE4XgJohYvs/s1600-h/IMGP0349.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279537692206191602" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlbkQWabURgqi1-U4ydq5djqjnJ4EEno4Sje2TH34nkX7XUvF2Pkhzrdtxr6E777-6pZcALidV5RJq-t5QB0ArFjmyqOfiUTLrNTBHGs0F3I_zIhVZT-O9UZs8rpSL-ptvLE4XgJohYvs/s320/IMGP0349.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div>George's offers terrific eating they specialize in inventive fresh fish dishes that incorporate the flavors of France and the Pacific Rim.

There are only 4 rooms to stay in (which i did not see anyone or any rooms). It has marble floors and high ceilings, the manor is decorated with art from all over the world. The manor sits near a sleepy creek (i didn't hear any water running but i did have to dodge cars to get my pictures) and is surrounded by fountains and gardens this place is ideal for a party for 2 which includes a lot of kissing.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQACuAoiIyTBDTF2tmHzOZqgQPv4rTbUHYiEjkXJIUNqXVhOHgKzABNLChxaCXZc3u17th5L_uIbN_5zj8v4eF5umSRFcgS0p-M7QLIwJ18cvSMTQPI1RTAT-KIuL7gZreDeBl6Ek3raA/s1600-h/IMGP9771.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267253270774330386" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQACuAoiIyTBDTF2tmHzOZqgQPv4rTbUHYiEjkXJIUNqXVhOHgKzABNLChxaCXZc3u17th5L_uIbN_5zj8v4eF5umSRFcgS0p-M7QLIwJ18cvSMTQPI1RTAT-KIuL7gZreDeBl6Ek3raA/s320/IMGP9771.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAv15D0GQ9Or1rc0UM8donqi5vDoRIFXRPGyKvXQEtay791yfpuJNQ_xxihcOl27wxzq3jI8xhzUrYblaV5HIHNyT6Olf-9K1jllDxZjhkXvsNnILtd4KkTFHOUf9vmS82b6C3aCuXILs/s1600-h/IMGP9774.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267254997060382562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAv15D0GQ9Or1rc0UM8donqi5vDoRIFXRPGyKvXQEtay791yfpuJNQ_xxihcOl27wxzq3jI8xhzUrYblaV5HIHNyT6Olf-9K1jllDxZjhkXvsNnILtd4KkTFHOUf9vmS82b6C3aCuXILs/s320/IMGP9774.JPG" border="0" /></a> All the rooms have a private garden, whirlpool tubs and fireplaces.

My friend Jill bought me this book called <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">the best places to kiss in southern <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">California</span></span></strong> by Bonnie Steele.<br />So, Tim and I got to looking through this book and decided armed with his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">garmin</span> (early <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Christmas</span> present) that we would set out to find some of these places, possibly visit and write our reviews and add our own places that we find on our way. They say that a picture says a thousand words so we decided that we would find these places and possibly take the pictures of us kissing in front of them (we are geeky what can i say)!!!!<br /><br />The book includes<br />Lodgings<br />Restaurants<br />Beaches<br />Sunsets<br />Scenic Drives<br /><br />These are done geographically so this blog will be done that way ... look on the side and hit the area that you are in to see what cool places we have found!Paulinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11544772754415683271noreply@blogger.com0
