The Restaurant
A.R. Valentien, the signature restaurant of The Lodge at Torrey Pines, offers a refined dining experience overlooking the iconic 18th hole of the Torrey Pines Golf Course. Executive chef Kelli Crosson crafts innovative California cuisine, emphasizing the region's bounty with a menu that changes frequently based on the freshest seasonal fare. The restaurant sources ingredients from local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. The dining room itself pays homage to early 20th-century California artists, exhibiting their works throughout the space. The Michelin Guide recognizes A.R. Valentien with the Michelin Plate, noting its "good cooking" and boundless harvest of local ingredients. The setting exudes a California-casual meets country-club vibe, with Craftsman post-and-beam dining rooms, amber lanterns, and stained-glass light fixtures. Diners can also enjoy the scenery from the terrace, taking in San Diego's climate.
