About Aries
A Little
Riviera.
A Lot of
La Jolla.
A rooftop restaurant and lounge where coastal cuisine, European seaside glamour, and a vibrant social atmosphere come together above La Jolla.


Culinary Philosophy
Coastal
Cuisine,
Reimagined
Inspired by the vibrant flavors of the Pacific Rim, Aries celebrates fresh coastal ingredients through a contemporary Pan-Pacific menu developed in collaboration with award-winning Chef James Montejano, with Chef Luis Aguirre leading the kitchen.
From leisurely lunches and weekend brunches to sunset cocktails and lively evenings, every experience is designed to capture the best of coastal living.
The Experience
European
Glamour,
California
Soul.
Designed by Cassandra Builer of Huntress Decor, Aries draws inspiration from the timeless glamour of European seaside destinations such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes.
Romantic blush tones, ocean blues, lush greenery, and luxurious textures create a playful yet sophisticated interpretation of coastal luxury, with sweeping views of the Pacific as the backdrop.


As the sun sets, the energy shifts. Curated DJs, live entertainment, and a lively social atmosphere bring a taste of Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, and Cabo to La Jolla, creating a destination that's just as captivating after dark.

A Destination Above It All
A New Era
for La Jolla
Perched on the 11th floor of Hotel La Jolla, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, Aries reimagines the traditional hotel dining experience into a destination for locals and visitors alike.
Created by veteran restaurateur Alessandro Minutella and co-managing partner Giancarlo Guttilla, Aries brings a new sense of energy to La Jolla's dining and social scene.
