Executive chef Anthony Calamari of Suite & Tender at Sé San Diego offers a California Mediterranean menu focusing on the regions of Italy, Spain, Greece, and France. “I am all about seasonality, serving fresh but never outrageous food, with ideas I’ve pulled from all over the world,” he says.
Sip tableside cocktails and feel free to mix and match plates to your palate’s content at this fine-dining-but-never-too-stuffy steakhouse. Specialties include lobster and braised short rib, pork belly and diver scallop, and Alaskan king crab and veal tenderloin. Don’t miss bottomless select wines during happy hour from 5-8pm nightly.
