George’s at the Cove
Very simply, George’s at the Cove is for people who believe in enjoying the San Diego lifestyle to its fullest. And that includes a great meal. If you want to experience innovative, contemporary food at its peak of freshness, a memorable evening awaits at California Modern, featuring an ever-changing menu from one of San Diego’s most admired chefs, Trey Foshee.

And George’s Bar, on the middle level, offers a relaxed setting where the indoors and outdoors flow together.
