Go for the small dishes. Have 5 of them instead of a main course. The uni rissotto is excellent and so the foue gras cookies and steak tartare . Cocktails are great also, wines could be better. Enjoy!
Baja Shrimp Toast is a lot like spicy avocado bruschetta . It's hearty but not heavy. Great plate for two to share. A respectable portion of charred beauties under those cukes and radishes . Get it.
The deviled eggs are made up of this marvelous egg white meringue concoction . You just have to try it. Everything we ate was amazing - yellowtail tostadas , linguine with clams and uni butter.
The food was sensational. I enjoyed the deviled eggs , buttermilk biscuit and pasta dishes. Unfortunately many of the dishes had nuts in them and could not be altered . I wish I could have tried more!
Definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in SD. The lamb was great and so was the chicken . Had a few phenomenal apps as well . Check it out for a celebration dinner or something special
Most diners responding positively to Richard Blais ' seasonally-driven "left coast cookery". Excitement's building towards the launch of the chef 's tasting menu and the full unleashing. Read more
We told our server that we would like to meet Chef Blais. Chef was so gracious, came out to our table to introduce himself, then took us back to kitchen to take photo. Food was delicious.
Everything is incredible; from the food to the service. Highlights were the squid link linguini and the deviled eggs . You can't go wrong here.
Really wanted to like it. Great service and atmosphere, but the food is just off... it’s just missing something that would make everything click and be the great restaurant you want.
Menu here changes daily. Every meal here is a new and fresh experience and always very delicious. I go here every year after SDCC and highly recommended it.
Deftly walks the line between classic deliciousness & overworked modernist. Excellent meals with charming service. They tell you that outside is more laid back but are forgetting the overflights.
Wow!!! What an amazing restaurant . The food is beyond delicious with so many depths of flavor. Highly recommend the hand rolls , the duck , and all of the pastas .
Alexis our server was great. ..sitting upstairs is no fun. ...the small plates were amazing across the board...room is beautiful. ...kitchen is amazing....don't sit upstairs....and Jen is amazing.
Great California fare with a southern twang. Was fine on the novel take on deviled eggs but loved the seafood tostada and the beef tartare toast .
Enjoyed all the dishes we had, especially the garden & grains. Extensive wine list and good cocktails . However, it can get very loud and the tables are quite close together.
One of the most amazing dinners I've ever had. Creativity abounds in ingredients, preparation and presentation.
We just asked the waitress to bring us tapas style starters as our meal. Awesome - all of it!!!
Go here for inventive plates (large and small) by Richard Blais , paired with excellent wines and imaginative cocktails .
Fancy ! Reservations are a must. Youdle for dessert ! Oh and if you want the best double double you have ever had... Ask! It's not on the menu !
The yellowtail is excellent. Very good quality fish and the combination of the crisp, vegetables and the fish in one bite is fantastic
Amazing! One of the better dinners I've had out. The tuna wellington was delicious. Try the deviled eggs !
Great place, nice atmosphere! We enjoyed every option we ordered and service was outstanding. Highly recommended in San Diego
Sitting at the bar tables that overlook Restuarant was really nice. Great atmosphere. Octopus dish was very good, as well as the pasta dish.
Cool environment and vibe. I would order small plates and the bites. I liked the biscuit , and chestnut agnolotti.The yodel was too sweet for my liking.
Fantastic vibe and spectacular playlist! Try the bone marrow and oysters , yellowtail , and meatball with rhubarb marinara .
"From there, crab linguini in sea-urchin sauce; it’s the sort of thing culinary dreams are made of." -Brandon Hernandez, SD Reader
Chef was in the house tonight! Give your compliments to the chef could end in a private kitchen tour by Robert himself
Ambiance, quail egg , shirt rib , appetizers , service, very happy overall
Run don't walk to this new exciting restaurant opened by one of the winners of Top Chef , Richard Blais . I wish I could narrow it down, but everything is great!
Seared Ahi Tuna (the ravioli it comes with was surprisingly great!)
A must try if in San Diego! Great meal. Must try the yodel .
I love prawns , but these grossed me out for some reason. Please order the buttermilk biscuit and the steak —- does not disappoint!
Seafood . Tuna . Yodel . Halibut . Vegetable sides especially the carrots . Toast -morels .
The moonfish entree was fantastic: hearty, filling, but not excessive. I also really liked the halibut ceviche .
If you have a party of 7 or more you have to get a pre-selected menu but that’s not at all. Incredible food and worth the price and hype.
Order the biscuit , carne cruda asada , baja yellowtail , and the yodel . In the Ivy is a great cocktail
The foie gras toast ... Try everything! Great place.
All drinks ordered in our group were delish. Loved the spritz and giggles! Very refreshing!
Perfect meal with kids. Lots of great options. Fun to share.
Best burger in San Diego. And the fries are too die for.
Excellent food and really cool design.
If you are going to blow your diet, go for the yodel . Totally worth the extra treadmill time.
This place is super cool and great for yummy small bites and cocktails !
Good is excellent...hard to pick a favorite dish but you should get the deviled eggs
They don't typically leave your wine at the table which means servers must be pretty attentive refilling. Ask that they leave your bottle and avoid the hassle.
There small plates are perfect for sharing and trying a lot of the items on the menu
Great new place with really good food and service. Very hip and cool.
Fabulous atmosphere, new interesting twist on food, great wine selection
