Craftsman architecture with metal-strap post and beam:

The restaurant itself is a tribute to Southern California heritage and Craftsman architecture, with a metal-strap post-and-beam structure, handcrafted wood-framed windows, stained-glass lanterns and a frieze painted with pine boughs. The layout of the restaurant is also conducive to elegant San Diego fine dining, with several small rooms and plush booths to lend intimacy.

Executive Chef

Jeff Jackson brings more than 30 years experience to The Lodge at Torrey Pines. As the former Executive Chef at Shutters on the Beach and winner of the esteemed USA Bocuse d'Or Culinary Gold Cup, the cooking of A.R. Valentien is market driven and seasonally influenced. The emphasis is placed on the quality and freshness of foodstuffs, which are prepared with the least amount of handling, and cooking methods that benefit the flavors and textures to the fullest.
