Currant Brasserie

A small well crafted menu. I ordered the grilled wild Salmon, with Spinach mashed potatoes and asparagus. I can't say the spinach added much to the potatoes other than making them green. The fish was cooked to perfection and very tender. With just a hint of lemon. The prices are rather high and the wait time was long but the quality justified the wait. It's difficult to put out this quality of food fast.

Casey was our bartender and made us amazing cocktails. We got the Jaded Lady and a spiderman drink he made for comicon. The duck tacos were to die for. Location was an easy walk from the train station as well.

This is a block or so away from the San Diego Superior Courthouse so if you have jury duty, this may be an option for lunch. I was immediately helped by three helpful, handsome men including a friendly, attentive Brazillian named Luis. I tried the French Onion Soup and coffee. I liked it although I wish they had a choice of another soup. I was so full, I didn't get to try the wings or brussel sprouts this time! I was a fan of the atmosphere but not so much the music. I'd like to try the absinthe some evening. It sounds like fun!

Nice bar and cafe near the courthouses. Also right next to Horton plaza. Food is decent and service is quick

The Benedict had Rave reviews but I just had a mimosa and croissant sandwich, with ham. It was good but nothing special. Good option for brunch though.

I don't butter it up, at night the service is slow but the food is really good I promise. And breakfast will see .

I discovered last week that The Beer Co has closed, and with it their amazing happy hour ahi tower. I was looking for an alternative happy hour downtown that went until 7pm and I discovered Currant. The style of the restaurant is very cool. Black and white tile floor, classy design, friendly service. Unfortunately, the coolness factor was a bit diminished by a number of cheesy Halloween decorations strewn about. Tried the Manhattan and happy hour red wine. Both very nice. Also tried baked brie and tacos. Both very decent happy hour choices. Not an excellent deal, but very doable. Loved the atmosphere, will likely be back for drinks and maybe to try that hamburger on happy hour!

Great food and nice atmosphere. The chef here is amazing.
