The Scene
A striking fish tank, museum-like Buddha heads, dragon statues and ceramic vases outline this busy dining room, while the adjacent sushi bar and outdoor patio with fire pits have more of a lounge feel. Executive chef Stephen Window combines Pacific Rim dishes with classic French culinary techniques for classic "fusion" dishes. Small plates include a tasty grouping of Dungeness crabmeat and artichoke, covered by a rich flambé buerre sauce, and Korean barbecue spareribs--a tender and somewhat salty dish neutralized by wasabi mashed potatoes. The crispy, whole striped bass entree for two attracts onlookers as crafty servers de-bone the fish tableside and toss it with soy vinaigrette.

This is a nice place to take a date out on. The atmosphere is pleasant and calm. The food is amazing, but the price is what you pay for. The service is great, and everyone should come here at least once.

This is probably THE best restaurant in San Diego! Great, fresh food, excellent service, gorgeous atmosphere. I spend every special occasion dinner here because I'm treated like royalty and the food is too die for! I recommend EVERYONE eat here at least once. A little pricey, but SO worth it!

Know Before You Go:
Reservations are essential, especially at night and on weekends. Be sure to show up on time---tables disappear quickly.
When to Go:
Happy hour specials include half off all tapas and sushi rolls, everyday from 4pm to 6pm in the sushi bar and patio.
Where to Sit:
Request the coveted booth, Table 11, which seats four next to the large tropical fish tank. Or table 22, another popular choice where comfy couches and a coffee table sit adjacent to the fireplace for a romantic setting, but isn't conducive for dining.
