This stylish neighborhood eatery is best enjoyed with those you "trust" most—and boasting a menu comprised of small plates, the theme here is all about sharing. On San Diego’s many fair-weather days, friends crowd onto the expansive patio to share Chef Brad Wise's delicious bites. His kitchen team relies primarily on the seasonal bounty of local farms to prepare such delights as hamachi tartare layered harmoniously with diced cucumber, smashed avocado and pea sprouts; or a fried chicken sandwich with shredded cabbage, house-made ssam sauce and hand-cut fries.
When the weather turns colder, the industrial-cool dining room (complete with concrete and steel) is warmed by the glow of a wood-fired grill and softened by the upbeat mood of a chatty clientele.
