Manny Perez, Executive Chef & Lance Repp Chef Owner

The Wolfpack Hospitality team and Chef Lance Repp have created a unique slate of local restaurants and bars that serve great food and ‘good vibes only’ hospitality. “I love food. I love cooking. I love creating a great experience for others. Seeing our guests enjoy a delicious meal, feel cared for by our amazing staff, and truly unwind makes me happy. It doesn’t get any better.” 

In iconic La Jolla, check out Cove House, arguably one of California’s best seven-day-a-week coastal brunch spots overlooking La Jolla Cove. (Pro Tip: Check out their Happy Hour). In La Jolla Shores, check out Shore Rider and Dough Momma Pizzeria, both a community cornerstone serving up the very best in beach bar vibes and classic New York-style pizza with a California twist, respectively. When in Bay Park visit The Cordova Bar, a classic neighborhood cocktail venue with specialty drinks and a Happy Hour that can’t be missed.
