"A compact, light-filled scratch kitchen in the Coronado Trails Plaza, this casual modern-American spot is overseen by two California chefs with local ties and emphasizes ingredients sourced from West Coast farmers. The 1,467-square-foot space features open dining and a seasonally evolving menu with everything made in house (even the mayonnaise). Star starters include tomato bisque, fried calamari and house-made chicken meatballs, while salads range from rosemary chicken and Caesar to a Cobb built with turkey, feta and Niman Ranch bacon. Entrées span miso-glazed salmon and rib-eye bulgogi bowls to a wild mushroom risotto, an organic-rigatoni Bolognese, steak frites with a 6-ounce hangar steak, truffle fries and Béarnaise, plus a beer-battered fried chicken sandwich and burgers — and a notably popular Vermont cheddar and Fresno pepper biscuit. Open Monday–Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m." - Bradley Martin
