Where to Eat in San Diego During a Weekend Away | Eater

"JRDN’s stunning beach views and front-and-center boardwalk location makes it the perfect dinner venue for drinking spicy, jalapeno-infused Bloody Marys or chili mango margaritas while you watch the parade of locals and tourists stroll by. Must-try menu items include sushi rolls and steamed mussels with grilled bread, ready for dipping in chorizo, garlic, chardonnay, and tomato-fennel cream sauce. Or opt for larger plates like a whole fried snapper with garlic noodle salad, chile lime gremolata and sweet chili sauce, or northern halibut with corn bread, corn salad and escabeche verde. Desserts are worth saving room for, especially Citrus Tour; a gorgeous combination of ube pavlova, passionfruit curd, yuzu anglaise, lemon poppy wafer, tequila ice cream and dehydrated mandarins, and The Protégé; pistachio mousseline bombe, pomegranate mousse, orange sponge, orange buttercream, mint pomegranate sorbet and pistachio brittle." - Mary Beth Abate
