Arlo Aims to Bring Destination Dining to Hotel Circle | Eater San Diego

"Debuting today in Mission Valley at the revamped Town and Country resort, Arlo is led by chef Josh Mouzakes, whose credits include Joël Robuchon at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, The French Laundry, and the Hotel del Coronado, and aims to bring more culinary prestige to Hotel Circle. Counting itself lucky to have a large 100-seat outdoor patio, the restaurant opens with dinner service (with lunch to follow) and centers on a wood-fired grill and a social, eclectic style of dining; the menu features Baja-inspired ramen, chickpea fries with harissa aioli, flat steak carne asada, and grilled pork belly with cumin cilantro granita, heirloom carrot, and caramelized yellow peach. The wine list highlights wineries from the Valle de Guadalupe, and Mouzakes plans to host wine dinners with local vintners, run cooking demos on the patio, and utilize a Santa Maria grill." - Candice Woo
