"An ambitious tasting menu-styled restaurant from a team with Michelin-starred backgrounds is moving forward with construction in La Jolla, where the 30-seat Lucien is set to open on Girard Avenue in Spring 2025. The chef Elijah Arizmendi, who has a fast-rising career including stops at Cotogna in San Francisco, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas, and the two-Michelin-starred Daniel in New York, will focus on using local ingredients. Lucien's tasting menu will feature extra courses and a more elaborate guest experience, with seafood at the forefront." - Candice Woo
"Lucien is an ambitious new fine dining restaurant set to open in downtown La Jolla by early 2025. Founded by Elijah Arizmendi, who has worked in some of the country's most acclaimed kitchens, Lucien will feature a tasting menu format with hyper-seasonal dishes influenced by Arizmendi's extensive culinary experience. The restaurant will be located on the top floor of the La Plaza La Jolla complex on Girard Avenue. Co-owned by Brian Hung and his wife Melissa, Lucien aims to offer a unique dining experience with a la carte items available at its bar and outdoor courtyard. The chef plans to work closely with local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers to develop the menu." - Candice Woo
