New San Diego Restaurants and Bars That Have Opened During the Pandemic - Eater San Diego

"Chef Ronnie Schwandt, a veteran of Blue Bridge Hospitality and Trust Restaurant Group just opened Verbena Kitchen with event pro Jillian Ziska of To Be Designed. Operating from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays, the restaurant’s menu of shared plates will change with the seasons but debut dishes include a farmer’s market salad, Peruvian-style shrimp ceviche, Moroccan-spiced lamb loin, and wagyu beef tartare while his Sunday brunch features an egg salad sandwich and beet-poached salmon. Verbena Kitchen’s bar offerings from Dallas Juanes include wine cocktails like the Cherry Blossom, a sparkling drink made with cherry-soaked unfiltered sake, red wine, Lilet, and rose simple syrup." - Candice Woo

Great service, great food and great experience! We had my baby shower at Verbena Kitchen and had the most amazing time. We loved that this restaurant provides a one-stop shop without the stress and hassle of hosting your own event. They took care of food, drinks, venue, plates, glassware and the best part is that their menu is customizable according to the season. They were super flexible with how I wanted things set up and with bringing my own flowers. Dallas, the GM, was so sweet and helpful. He provided great service and had such a good attitude! Great experience overall. Thank you Verbena Kitchen. I would definitely consider hosting another private event here.

The absolute best cinnamon rolls in town. The shrimp and grits were excellent, the service was excellent. We sat outside on the sidewalk seating, and had a wonderful time. Lots of indoor seating and limited outside seating. I highly recommend this place for breakfast or brunch.

A little pricey but an interesting, but strict menu. Your bacon & egg breakfast where eggs must be poached or cooked hard. No over easy or scrambled option. We had a salmon on toast, a nice ceviche appetizer & two deviled eggs, pressed coffee & save room for a glazed cinnamon roll w syrup & nuts.

This spot is fantastic! Came here for dinner and had the burger and some sangria and was very impressed. The decor and vibe of the restaurant is on point and all of the staff are very friendly, helpful, and efficient. So many items on the menu looked really good so I’ll definitely be coming back. The burger came with a refreshing arugula salad and you can ‘chef it up’ in which they put more sauce on the burg and man was it good. Plenty of shakas here, mahalo 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 ❤️❤️

Yum, their brunch menu looked amazing so I had to try it out. The Gucci mary with truffle was so tasty. It also comes with a deviled egg, so good. The cinnamon roll is a must try and the burrata toast with prosciutto was super good. I'll have to come back for dinner soon.

This place gets 5 stars! Whether you are in the neighborhood looking for a quick drink or bite to eat, heck why not both? Dinner or Brunch? Happy hour never disappoints with their house sangrias and $1 oysters. Love the local and sustainable menu by Chef Ronnie and the team! Shoutout again to Dallas and the wonderful staff that make us always feel welcomed! We love supporting small businesses and catching up with what’s next on the menu we can try. Cheers!

Had a delicious meal here the other night and can’t wait to go back already! The food was delicious and perfectly seasoned, and our drinks were the perfect compliment. Beyond that the wait staff was so friendly and helpful with suggestions - our server was Dana and she was just the best. Definitely recommend!
