Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Kearny Mesa

We had a party of 5.. some of the party was a little late, but the staff was very accommodating. It was the first.time.for all of us in the group, and the waitress was very helpful and assisted with each of our drink selections as well as our meals. The holiday decor was just right, festive but not overdone. The Blackberry Smash and Huckleberry Bourbon cocktails were the hot topic of the night. The food was A-Mazing!!! Porkchops were tender and cooked to perfection, the ravioli was not what was expected but lasted phenomenal and, of course, had to order the French oinon soup, which would be in my top two. No pictures.. we were in the moment enjoying the food and company.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to be back. We did the Mediterranean feast, it was 5 courses. The first course was dip trip with fresh out the oven pita that I could have made a whole meal off of. The baba ganoush was incredible. My husband doesn’t usually like it but it was his favorite of the dips. The second course was a yellowtail with a mild spice level that paired well. The third course was a potato pasta? It was delicious. Sometimes the descriptions of the course were hard to hear and read off fast. The next course was a crusted halibut & then finally a lemon meringue with coconut bark. I kept thinking the portions may be too small especially since my husband can eat a lot. But we both left more than full. I did the wine pairing with the meal & there wasn’t one that I didn’t like. I struggled to keep up throughout the meal & wasn’t able to finish the last glass but thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. The service was excellent. We had Connor and Aiden but everyone was very attentive.

Manager Lisa was the best, most service-oriented manager I have ever seen. She kicked in when service was a bit slow, checked in on us every so often, comped us a drink when we waited a bit too long for our order, and just made a slow evening into a spectacular one. A great manager. Well done Lisa!
