San Diego's finest dining
This Mobil five-star restaurant — the only one with this title in San Diego — is one of the hottest dinner tickets in town. In fact, chef William Bradley's stellar Cal-French cuisine, which combines artisan ingredients with classic techniques, nabbed the title of Esquire magazine's "Best New Restaurants" when it opened.
While you're here, be sure to enjoy a glass of wine from the restaurant's 2,500-bottle wine vault, which is nestled in a glass wall of the dining room. Sommelier Jesse Rodriquez has curated a wonderful collection, which nabbed Food & Wine's "Best New Wine Lists."
The menu, which changes seasonally, has included such mouth-watering specialties as butter-baked salmon with savoy cabbage, or braised beef short rib with horseradish creme and port wine. For dessert, the black fig brulee with cinnamon creme chantilly is sinfully good.
