Starving sea lion rescued from San Diego restaurant booth

A starving sea lion was rescued from a San Diego restaurant Thursday after being found in a booth.

Bernard Guillas, executive chef at The Marine Room restaurant, posted photos of the sea lion on Facebook, after finding her hanging out at a window-side table.

"We found this little guy in The Marine Room restaurant this morning," Guillas joked. "He was a little bit early for his high tide breakfast reservation."

SeaWorld's Rescue Team removed the 8-month-old pup from the restaurant, saying the sea lion was malnourished, but expects a full recovery.

El Nino has left many California sea lions stranded, making it difficult to find food.
