Queenstown Opens All-Outdoor Bistro at Westfield UTC | Eater San Diego

"Centered around the clock tower that anchors the plaza adjacent to the food court at Westfield UTC, Queenstown Bistro offers seating spread across a plant-filled garden patio shaded by a canopy and umbrellas. Launched by the team behind Queenstown Public House in Little Italy and the family behind Dunedin, Raglan Public House, and Bare Back Grill, the space was designed by Michael Soriano; whereas the Little Italy Queenstown factored sheep into its design, the new bistro embraces a bee theme with bee-shaped sculptures and lighting elements that evoke beehives and honeycomb. Open seven days a week with lunch from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and dinner starting at 5 p.m., and offering both counter and table service, the menu ranges from shareable snacks to soups, salads, sandwiches and signature burgers made with organic grass-fed beef or New Zealand lamb; beverages include craft beer, wine, house sangria and soju-based cocktails. Before the summer season the eatery will roll out brunch and an afternoon tea service featuring New Zealand Manuka honey." - Candice Woo
