Our party of 5 visited the restaurant during restaurant week. We were lured by the awesome reviews and awards posted by happy diners. We had the most friendly and down to earth waitress and the wait staff were very attentive it refilling our drinks and clearing plates. The night was completely RUINED when we found a hair (short and curly, hint, hint!!!) in one of our water glasses. It was so disgusting! We informed our waitress and she talked to the owner. The owner comes to our table and offers us a free appetizer, slap in the face #1! We tell her that we aren't coming back. She starts accusing us of placing the hair in the glass, HUGE slap in the face #2!!! We were so horrified that when dessert comes around we were so traumatized by the whole experience that the tasty food earlier in the evening was marred by the owners lack of professionalism and tact. DO NOT go to this restaurant.

"Nestled on tiled terraces close enough to catch ocean breezes, this northern Italian spot has a relaxed ambience with rustic walls and outdoor seating shaded by flowering vines, vaguely evoking a romantic Tuscan villa. A mixed crowd of suits, couples, and..."

"Indeed, it seemed obvious from the beginning that Prospect and Girard were destined to stand out. When La Jolla was first laid out in 1887, the standard street width was 80 feet, except for Girard, which was blessed with a whopping 100 feet...."
