No Fish Tale A revised restaurant hooks La Jolla Editors’ Note: This location has been closed Posted on Jan. 1, 2017 Many restaurateurs have gone mining for gold along La Jolla’s Prospect Street. But like most of those original forty-niners, many expeditions have proven difficult, turning up little but pyrite and broken dreams. In its…
On Target Posted: Dec. 12, 2016 It may not be a neighborhood spot just around the corner in the Ranch or on the coast, but taking a seat at Decoy Dockside Dining, a brand-new spot overlooking Lake San Marcos, one can feel plenty at home. Nestled in this rapidly growing inland community, a gourmand’s point…
Ho Ho Hops Posted: Dec. 1, 2016 Holiday beers have historically been designed to be big-bodied, full-flavored, high-alcohol quaffs to stave off winter chills while warming the cockles of one’s heart and aiding merry-making. In the San Diego coastal region, December temperatures have been known to drop to the 60s, but that’s hardly a polar…
Down on the Farm Editors Note: This location has been closed Posted on Nov. 22, 2016 The Red Door is an eatery that, through its evolution and numerous twists and turns at the back of the house, has remained true in every sense to its core values, making it a constant in Mission Hills. Recent…
No Penalty Editors’ Note: This location has been closed Posted on Nov. 18, 2016 As the eatery’s name indicates, everything at the Red Card Café comes back to soccer. It was born of necessity for a French-born, soccer-loving couple that calls the Bay Ho neighborhood home. After being unable to find a nice place to…
Big and Bold: Bob’s Steak & Chop House Posted on Nov. 1, 2016 Some restaurants exist solely as monuments to their founder’s preferences. Some spots convey personal peeves via idiosyncratic rules: automatic tipping, no ketchup, no clear spirits, and the cutting-off of ties. However, in the best cases, they’re the things a restaurant owner truly…
The WineSellar & Brasserie Many years ago — well 2011, to be exact — a young and dogged chef, Luke Johnson, helmed a gourmet gem masquerading as a quaint wine bar at the foot of the Segal Building in Little Italy, the pet project of the food- and wine-loving spouse of the building’s namesake. It…
Donovan’s La Jolla Should you receive a request to meet a friend after work for the epic happy hour at Donovan’s in La Jolla, be forewarned, going to the space in UTC that the vaunted steak and chop house occupied for countless years will leave you scratching your head and wondering where it had gone.…
Solana Beach Crush Like most refuges from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Solana Beach Crush could be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. But many are the regulars who hone in on this recessed respite for its simple-but-posh, mood-lit yet light-hearted atmosphere, blending elegance and comfort to create an ambience…
Madison University Heights is being taken to new heights of late, thanks to bars and restaurants offering unique and stylish environments. First came the adorably dive-y Small Bar, then the expansive, marble-laden Park and Rec, and now — sandwiched between them — Madison. Like the aforementioned hotspots, this venue is high on design and spirited…
Top of the Market After 26 years as a harbor-side dining icon, Top of the Market’s ascension to a higher tier of fine dining is a literal rise from the ashes. In 2015, a fire significantly damaged the second-story, USS Midway-adjacent perch as well as its ground-level sister eatery, The Fish Market. Rather than reconstruct…
Duke’s La Jolla Newly implanted in the two-story shell of Top of the Cove, Duke’s La Jolla is the latest in a family of oceanfront eateries tracing back to the Hawaiian Islands. Rather than provide a whopping appetizer-course’s worth of background, I’ll leave the origin story abbreviated, focusing on the present instead of the past.…
