A La Jolla Landmark
Set above Cormorant Boutique Hotel, Birdseye Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is an iconic La Jolla landmark with open-air views of the Pacific. From its elevated perch, the rooftop offers a perspective of the coast that feels distinctly its own.
The menu reflects a coastal California approach, with thoughtfully prepared food and cocktails made with care at the bar and in the kitchen. Fresh ingredients, hand-squeezed citrus, and a focus on balance define the offering.

Rooted in Rich History
Established in the 1940s, Prospect Market was once a cornerstone of La Jolla Village life. Located in this very building on Prospect Street, it served the neighborhood with high-quality meats, cheeses, produce, and everyday goods, earning trust through consistency and attention to what it offered.
Birdseye Rooftop Bar & Restaurant continues that focus on quality in a modern setting. Fresh fruits are hand-squeezed into cocktails as they are made, and the menu highlights carefully selected cheeses, meats, and coastal ingredients.
