Kristen Haas: Sat in the middle level because we thought it'd be too hot on the roof. Nice environment, small. Fish tacos were so tasty! Topped with mango salsa & an avocado cream sauce!
Dana Tedesco: The Tasting Menu is well-worth $72. The four fully-satisfying, locally-inspired creations by Chef @TreyFoshee are clever, innovative & taste-tittilating in a non-pretentious fine-dining environment!
Nation's Restaurant News: Fish tacos are a landmark dish in San Diego, and chef Trey Foshee wanted to celebrate that heritage with this menu item. Read more.
