"San Diego chef Brad Wise is bringing a live-fire, steakhouse-forward operation to UnCommons that centers on in-house butchery and wood-grilled flavor, with signature steak boards of dry-aged cuts, roasted bone marrow, and house sauces all charred over American red oak. The menu expands beyond steaks to include items like gochujang-glazed bacon, lamb lollipops, miso-glazed carrots, sustainably sourced seafood, and nostalgic desserts such as creamy bananas Foster cheesecake; the 160-seat dining room, designed by GTC Design, blends retro glamour and mid-century modern touches like wood paneling, a marble bar, and plush leather accents. Wise’s prior Michelin-recognized work (Trust, Fort Oak) signals ambitious culinary intent." - Janna Karel
