Editorial Review for J Six Drinks and Dining – by Paul Gargano
The Scene
Warm hues of amber and gold are inviting, the young and fabulous staff are engaging, and the bodies that drink at the bar are refined and ravishing. It's all part of the package at Jsix, one of Gaslamp's most fashionable, and flavorful, dining experiences.
The Food
Chef Christian Graves moves to San Diego from San Francisco's Farallon, bringing his reputation for divine seafood dishes that burst with flavor. A thinly-pounded, sushi-grade tuna carpaccio served with crisp and refeshing cucumber relish makes a fitting introduction to any of the menu's diverse offerings, but stick to seafood to truly revel in Graves' expertise. Both the baked halibut and seared sea scallops are lightly crusted and perfectly cooked, the halibut atop hearty Dungeness crab hash, and the scallops with a crispy prosciutto accompaniment. For dessert, warm date and macadamia nut cake polishes the meal with a delightful pairing of subtle tastes.

We were guests of the hotel and stopped in for breakfast. The dining room was empty, in fact every time we passed this place it was empty. Not a good sign. Our food was not that great and presentation was boring. Our server forgot to bring our water and coffee to the table. My husband ordered a bloody mary and 10 minutes later when he asked where it was our server said they "ran out" of bloody mary mix and he was waiting for the bartender to get some more. Huh? Take some tomato juice, fresh ground pepper, Worchestershire, a green olive, a squeeze of lemon and a celery stick and call it good. Doesn't take a genius to make bloody mary mix.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at J Six and came away quite satisfied. The quality service I experienced could not be faulted. I chose the pepper steak and found it to be spectacular! I had heard that their chef had extensive training and I could easily see that he has learned his trade to a high degree. Even the modest check at the end of the meal was a concluding surpirse that topped off the entire experience. I highly recommend this establishment. If you are visiting San Diego be sure not to miss it. If you live in the area, consider yourself fortunate indeed!
