The Best New Restaurants in San Diego, March 2025

"Central Coast’s Pali Wine Co. has expanded its presence in San Diego with the family-owned winery’s first full-service restaurant in Hillcrest joining its tasting kitchen in Little Italy. Paired with Pali’s broad portfolio of wines, the menu is driven by chef Ashley McBrady who factors produce from the nearby Hillcrest farmers market, seafood sourced directly from local fishermen, and pasture-raised pork from Ramona into appealing dishes that include seafood crudos and conservas, dips served with house-fermented, wood-fired pita, and brown butter-dressed pork chops garnished with cherries, rosemary, and smoked almonds." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo, Eater Staff
