Great service, food, atmosphere

We tried out Vigilucci’s because it is restaurant week, which is a great time to try expensive places. As is most places in downtown La Jolla, Vigilucci’s is very classy and spacious. We approached our table with the delightful surprise of live music; a nice treat, especially when one is planning on spending a good bit of money. The waiters/staff were very attentive and friendly (good humoured too!).

The food was delicious and there was a sizable amount. As it was restaurant week, it was a three course meal, so I thought that the portions would be pretty small. I am always pleased to be proved otherwise when it comes to stuff like this (food reviews below). Overall, it was a nice experience, but very expensive, even with their restaurant week menu ($40). I would not eat here normally due to the price, but if you are looking for a nice, fancy meal, or are just loaded, this place is perfect.

Dishes I tried:

Prime Rib

Solid prime rib. I’ve had better at specialty prime rib locations, but it was good. Came with spaghetti and veggies, which were okay.

Filetto

prime petit filet. I only had a bite of this, but it was just shocking. It was super flavorful, and the perfect amount of chewiness. Aside from the filet, it had the same sides as the prime rib.

Ahi Sashimi Tartare

Plenty of ahi and avocado, and an interesting tangy sauce on the side. I was very satisfied with the flavor and quantity.

NY Cheesecake

Rich, but not overpowering. Did not have the extra frills of normal cheesecakes. One of my friends said they liked it more than the Cheesecake factory one, so you can do what you will with that testimony.

Creme Brulee

Probably one of the best I’ve had. Creme brulee tends to vary a lot from my experience, and I usually come out on the neutral side of creme brulee. The top was a perfect crispiness, and the flavor was not too sweet (one of the few foods where I don’t like too sweet)
