Being that we are not football fans, we enthusiastically seized the opportunity on Super Bowl Sunday to escape the usual crowds and enjoy our favorite brunch at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse - a buffet feast of epic proportions that includes unlimited Champagne, an other-wordly raw bar and unrivaled views of the Big Bay...for only $42! This was probably our seventh time at Tom Ham’s Sunday Brunch (who's counting?), which means that we have a planned course of action and a good idea of how to maximize enjoyment. So here it is, our guide to approaching the Super Sunday Brunch at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.
Take It Slow and Lunch the Mexican Way at Cueva Bar's New 'Saturday Lunching'
San Diegans know a thing or two about eating Mexican food, but many of us aren’t as accustomed to the act of truly enjoying a meal like our Mexican counterparts. A mad rush through lunch eliminates the pleasure of sharing food, savoring flavors, and enjoying company - all necessary ingredients to create a fantastic dining experience in Mexico. To teach us how it's done the Mexican way, Chef Oz at Cueva Bar in University Heights has launched Saturday Lunching to encourage his diners to slow down, share food, hang out, and enjoy the day.
Donovan's Steak & Chophouse Now Open on Prospect Street in La Jolla | Former Donovan's Space To Become Red O Restaurant
January 30, 2015
There was a steakhouse shuffle last September when both the Steakhouse at Azul and Donovan's Steak & Chophouse near UTC both announced their closures at around the same time. The reality was that after not being able to come to terms with its landlord after a nearly 15 year tenancy, the soon-to-be-displaced Donovan's approached the Brigantine restaurant group, made 'em an offer they couldn't refuse and bought the Azul location at 1250 Prospect Street in La Jolla. After ceasing its operations at the UTC location on January 3, which will become an incarnation of Rick Bayless's Red O restaurant, the new Donovan's in now officially open, pouring Martinis and grilling prime steaks with a side of Pacific views. Check it out!
