$10 Million, Two-Story Steakhouse Docks Soon on the Waterfront | Eater San Diego

"Opening on Saturday, November 3, a two-story, 16,650-square-foot Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse brings the Texas-born steakhouse to the San Diego waterfront, dropping into the base of the newly-established InterContinental Hotel. Designed by Aria Group with a Texas-sized budget, the restaurant seats 480 guests across a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces and includes five private dining rooms. Executive chef Brian Christman, who ran the flagship New York branch and has two decades of steakhouse experience including time at Mastro’s and Smith & Wollensky, will lead a kitchen serving premium meats from 45-day dry-aged steaks to wagyu sourced from around the world. The steakhouse’s award-winning wine list will be overseen by Faith Fulginiti, who managed an $8 million wine program in Manhattan, and Michael Manoocheri, an alum of luxury properties including the Four Seasons Hotels, Hotel Bel-Air, and Auberge du Soleil, will serve as general manager." - Candice Woo
