As a proud mom to a wonderful son (with our second arriving in late 2025) and the wife of one of Wheat & Water’s owners, this restaurant holds a special place in my heart. I love serving as the Event Coordinator because it brings together my passion for organization, attention to detail, and love for hosting. Every event is unique, and I take pride in ensuring each one is thoughtfully planned from start to finish. My husband and I are deeply grateful to be part of the Bird Rock/La Jolla community—and it’s an honor to help create unforgettable celebrations for our guests.

Such a great asset to Birdrock and La Jolla. The food is great. The service is attentive. The beer selection is on point and the drinks are fun. The layout works great as both a bar and a family restaurant. I’m a fan.

My husband and I decided to host our family dinner at Wheat and Water after our small wedding ceremony and the entire experience was beyond AMAZING! I was in contact with Whitney via email for months and she always answered all our questions an...
d concerns, she reassured us everything would work out and she exceeded our expectations. We were in their private patio area, which is decorated so beautifully, perfect for hosting a gathering. Whitney personally took care of us and our family and she was so sweet and patient with us. Food was great and fast service. They even cut our two cakes we brought in! Special thank you to WHITNEY and her team for taking such good care of us from start to finish. I highly recommend this establishment if you’re looking to host family or even just go out to dinner. Food and service were perfect!

We hosted a Welcome Party on the Wheat and Water outdoor patio a couple of weeks ago for our daughter's wedding weekend. We worked closely with Andrew on our needs and special requests and he did an amazing job of accommodating our group. Every...
thing from the food and beverage we selected, table placement, and layout of the space, could not have been better. In addition to the party, we had a private family dinner before hand ordering directly from the menu and bar on a separate tab. Everything was delicious. The party food came out hot and on time and was refreshed throughout the evening. Our server, Makenzie, along with Andrew, handled the entire event with grace, efficiency, and humor. The evening could not have been more perfect. Note about the photos, we did bring in some of our own decor!

I went with my coworkers. We got a reservation at 7 on a Thursday, not realizing that they close at 8. We did have to order quickly, but they didn't rush us to eat and get out. I am vegan, so this wouldn't have been my top pick based off of the...
menu, but my coworkers chose the place, and sometimes restaurants do well with their accommodations. Out of the appetizers we ordered, I could eat the house salad and the brussel sprouts without cheese. The salad was okay but needed more dressing. The brussel sprouts were actually pretty good although they were a touch overcooked. For my main they were able to make me a veggie pizza without cheese. I have had good, flavorful pizzas without cheese, but this wasn't one of them. The veggies were just cut up and tossed on with no thought. No color on them. No seasoning. Bland and boring. Solid three stars.

Dined on the dog-friendly patio tonight. Hostess was really nice but unfriendly server negatively impacted the experience. Food was mediocre - the $18 Hamachi Crudo was disappointingly small, and the Potato Pizza was just okay. Poor value for m...
oney combined with rude/subpar service makes this an unlikely return visit.
