Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Linda Vista

Kevin, our server was superb! We loved sitting at the chef’s counter and getting an up-close look at the absolutely incredible preparations! This was one of the most unique taste experiences I have ever had. We had the whole duck and it was divine — really enough for 4 and we were only two.

Awesome unique sauces on all dishes, fun drinks, attentive staff

We had a lovely time. Service, food, and atmosphere were exceptional!

i’ve dined here eight or 10 times over the years just brought someone new last night and he raved about the entire experience: food service creativity. We got the tasting menu and as usual the Alna and the Kampachi were huge hits early on. The subtlety combined with sharp notes took what could otherwise be very straightforward and made them rich. It was all excellent but as usual the Leppo chicken is Callie’s feathering the cap for that experience. Why doesn’t have a Michelin star is beyond me? Perhaps it’s the more casual approach to dining, but the food is easily Michelin quality for my taste by far away the best food in San Diego south of Addison 

What an outstanding brunch experience - all the toasts are amazing with housemade bread. You need to get the chocolate babka and the basic breakfast is anything but basic, with pork belly bacon, sesame toast with housemade ham, herby potatoes and eggs your way. I’m surprised it’s not more crowded. Usually space for walk ins and right next to the Hillcrest farmers market.
