A diner from Encinitas, CA
May 16, 2011
Wow... what a gem in the Clairemont area of San Diego. I'm a designer who frequents this design row & for years we were wishing for a restaurant in this area. Chef Kurt & his team are amazing. He features delicious, fresh, and creative daily specials & soups. Perfect portions and creative plates that are very affordable considering the quality.
I've enjoyed a delicious Heirloom Carrot salad with a hint of Danish Blue Cheese to a Lamb BLT (they smoke lamb bacon on site). The Short Rib Sandwich is a mix of salty, savory & sweet. My wife and I have also enjoyed Sunday Brunch. She really enjoyed the Red Velvet Pancakes with chocolate chips (NO RED food coloring)!! I love the Smoked Salmon Benedict - brings back memories of the delicious Salmon in NY.
Cool, eclectic ambiance without the pretentiousness. The staff is friendly & they welcome you watching them through the "open kitchen." They've even planted the Organic Garden outside.
We hope others find out about this gem. Chef Kurt also owns Concept Catering by CK & has been known to do extraordinary events (still does).
