 The request was for restaurants within *walking* distance of the
 village.  Unless you're into a mile hike before your meal, you
 might want to ignore this one.  Also, Bully's is a steak place
 and it used to be quite good, however, I've been hearing less
 than sterling things about it since it's changed hands.  If you
 want to limit yourself to "the village", I'd suggest:  Trattoria
 Acqua (in the Coast Walk on Prospect), George's at the Cove/
 George's Patio (also on Prospect).  If you want a
 spare-no-expense romantic dinner, you might consider either
 The Sky Room at La Valencia or Top of the Cove.  The Top of
 the Cove had been in the doldrums for the last few years, but
 has recently gotten a new chef and some outstanding reviews.
 Be forewarned that the wine list is absurdly expensive (e.g.
 $36 for Estancia Chardonnay).

 I second what Mike C says. Also would add the Panniken on Coast Walk
 overlooking the cove for a good breakfast & a great view

 I don't know about breakfast but THE plae to go with that special someone
 in La Jolla is Elario's which is located at the top of the summer house
 inn.  talk about a breathtaking view of a sun melting into the ocean!!
 The food is marvelous!!  i'd recomend the Feddichini Alfredo!  :)

 Hi Lisa!

 Sorry, but I have to disagree about Elario's.  The last couple of times I was
 there I was underwhelmed by both the food and the service.  They do have a
 nice view and one of the better wine lists in San Diego.

 As far as a "romantic" place in La Jolla, I think that The Sky Room at La
 Valencia is more romantic, has better service and about equal food to
 Elario's (i.e. sound, but nothing other-worldly).  They'll even let you go
 out on the fire escape if you ask...

 For food, I'd still recommend George's at the Cove for more formal dining,
 and Trattoria Acqua or George's Patio for less formal dining over either
 Elario's or The Sky Room.

 Both the Marine Room and Top of the Cove have gotten new chefs in the last
 year and have gotten rave reviews (with some caveats).  I haven't had the
 opportunity to try either though.

 I found a fairly new place called Grille At La Jolla.  Great Seafood and
 the best veiw in the area.  Address is 1250 Prospect, not for sure of the
 phone number. Enjoy
