    the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

    Amazing tasting menu at a $49 value- Salas, flatbeead, two pastas and two desserts. The food was amazing. Service was great. It is set in what you might call a high end food court but you are in a high end mall so it would be expected.
