Poorly Executed Food

by CreamSoda

I love duck confit and decided to go there because that dish is one of their signature. EEEEEWWWWW Disgusting food. The duck skin is falling apart, bad both texture and presentation also it was served with dry, tasteless and ugly lentil. POORLY EXCUTED FOOD. I felt so embarrassed that I ordered that dish. Totally upset my stomach and feeling. I do not mind to pay money for good food but that dish was very unsatisfied. The decor is nice and yah french brasserie but wow the food was totally discrediting the ambiance. I would suggest you take that dish out from the menu or send the chef back to school. It is totally embarrassment for the restaurant!!!

• Pros: nice decor, acceptable service
• Cons: FOOD, not worth your money

Hands Down my new favorite! A+

by SDFoodie22

Hands down my new favorite restaurant! This is my second time to dine at Currant, this time on a date... and it was perfect. The package of outstanding and creative dishes, the cool, classy ambiance and the tremendous service make this a must stop for foodies, or anyone who is ready for a terrific dining experience. Great wine list! I was quite pleased to see a nice variety and looking forward to visiting on half price wine night! I'm admittedly impressed by top chefs who oversee their kitchen and creations and Pfueger must have been in the back personally overseeing my baked chicken. WOW, so delicious! Currant gives me reason to go downtown now besides the Padres! I havent tried the desserts, but I have heard they are to die for. Looking forward to going back soon and even sending my parents on their anniversary.

• Pros: ambiance, food
• Cons: none

ohwow, my 'currant' fav restaurant

by jossz

Having been recommended by a friend who wasn't really a foodie like I

am, I happily tried this restaurant, but with a grain of salt. Well, let me tell you this:

whether you're a 'burger joint' person or a 'haute cuisine' devotee, you will be utterly

happy here. the restuarant has a sleek, chic look, but is easy and casual in

demeanor. so you'll be fine whether you're dressed up or dressed down.

but it's all about the food: simple, cosmopolitan ingredients and flavors,

perfectly done. i've been several times for lunch and dinner and just keep

trying different things as the mood takes me. i've recommended it to all

my friends and we all agree; it's our 'currant' fav restaurant!

• Pros: Fabulous Food. WineList w/ an expert Wine Director, Sleek Decor, Casual Ambience
