"After a months-long closure due to a small kitchen fire, the steakhouse at the Park Hyatt Aviara has reopened with great fanfare with celebrity chef Richard Blais (California English) bringing on James Beard Award semifinalist Jonathan Bautista (Kingfisher, the Fishery) as its new executive chef. The menu will include much-missed favorites such as the beef rib chop “Storm Breaker Cut” and Epic Snack Tower, along with the iconic Smoking Ember cocktail. New additions include scallop crudo in a pineapple vinaigrette and squash blossom stuffed with pork, shrimp, and vermicelli." - Candice Woo
"A Richard Blais project led by executive chef Jon Bautista, the steakhouse restaurant sits on the 18th green of the Aviara Golf Club with views of the Battiquitos Lagoon. One private dining room can accommodate up to 14 people, and the other can seat up to 50. A few menu highlights include the ahi tuna tostada with toasted coconut, swordfish prime rib, and the beef rib chop “storm breaker cut,” a 40-ounce cut of Brandt Family Beef with seasonal vegetables." - Helen I. Hwang
"Impressing both guests and locals with creative cocktails, this Carlsbad steakhouse at the Park Hyatt offers signature drinks like the Smoking Ember, featuring mezcal, grapefruit, and agave topped with a bubble of citrus-infused smoke. New this season is the Palmer Peach, a tequila-based cocktail with peach Giffard, Aperol, and a squeeze of lime." - Kelly Bone, Candice Woo
"The recently reopened restaurant on the 18th green of the Aviara Golf Club is celebrating with a Thanksgiving brunch buffet and dinner. The brunch includes autumn spiced citrus roast turkey, maple-miso glazed Icelandic cod, and almond panna cotta verrine. The evening dinner features smoked turkey with yuzu cranberry sauce, Colorado rack of lamb, and praline pumpkin pie, along with the regular dinner menu." - Helen I. Hwang
"Blais continues to oversee his Carlsbad steakhouse Ember & Rye while launching California English, and he says he’s still interested in creating more restaurants in San Diego, including plans for an ocean-view rooftop with Longfellow at the Bioterra campus." - Candice Woo
