Hot San Diego Restaurant Openings You May Have Missed, November 2025 | Eater San Diego

"Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk teams up with chef Andrew Bachelier—whose résumé includes Michelin-recognized Atelier Manna, Jeune et Jolie, and Campfire—for a long-awaited skateboarder-themed, laid-back all-day spot serving fast-fine dishes in a nostalgic dining room where skate and music videos loop nonstop. I’m here for fried chicken sandwiches, caviar, seafood, and low-intervention wines; The Birdman, a spicy chicken sandwich nodding to Hawk’s nickname, is the move, with spice levels cheekily named after skate tricks from 180 degrees to 900 degrees. For something lighter, the Kona Bowl mixes salanova with birdseed furikake and mint, and I can pair it all with bubbly, beer, or cocktails like the Neon Bell made with lime aperitif, Thai basil, and lemongrass." - Helen I.
