Hidden atop a quiet rooftop in downtown La Jolla, Lucien is redefining San Diego’s fine-dining scene with a tasting-menu experience that balances precision, restraint, and local flavor. Led by Michelin-trained Chef Elijah Arizmendi and team —whose background includes Per Se, Daniel, and L’Abeille—Lucien celebrates California’s finest ingredients through modern technique and thoughtful presentation. From seaweed-aged Pacific flounder with San Diego uni to the restaurant’s three-day fermented sourdough and house-cultured seaweed butter, every detail reflects craftsmanship and intention. Refined yet approachable, Lucien stands as one of the most compelling new dining destinations in Southern California.

For an exciting midweek treat, every Wednesday night they are offering a wildly enticing deal priced at $65 per person. This fantastic deal includes a sumptuous tableside Flambe Roasted Chicken, which is served alongside a freshly baked Baguette and Chicken Skin Butter, a Seasonal Salad, and a delightful Chocolate Mousse Cake to finish.
