| - Chris is AMAZING! I shocked this guy normally handles the cooking, serving, greeting, etc. by himself. The night we went, he had a waiter but that is because he had about 30 people in the place. The food - two words, incredibly fresh.
We were lucky enough to sit at the bar by his kitchen and we got to watch him cook. He has amazing organizational skills.
We started out with roasted peppers (garlic, rosemary, olive oil), arugula, proscittuo salad with toasted bread and freshly shred cheese.
There were three choices for the main course. Chicken w/chimichurri sauce, salmon with capers, green onions in a white wine cream sauce and sliced filet mignon over chinese black rice. The rice had green onions, italian sweet hot peppers and other spices in it. He squeezed a fresh orange and orange zest over the steak and then surrounded it with thai chile sauce. The combination of flavors were incredible.
Dessert was a napolean puff pastry with lemon cream, topped with tons of fresh blue and blackberries, fresh whipped cream, powdered sugar, etc.
Unfortunately, he was so busy that we didn't get to talk to him too much, which based on other reviews, was a highlight.
We will definitely go back. This is a treat!
We've come back to San Diego and told all of our friends about it.
