With the success of Searsucker, chef Brian Malarkey has opened his second restaurant in Carmel Valley. Burlap promises to be another exciting experiment in social dining and is destined to become the new “it” spot in San Diego. The restaurant and lounge serves “Asian Cowboy” cuisine in an eclectic environment and offers the perfect mix of global sophistication and local cool. The menu is said to offer a hybrid of meat (raw, cooked and rotisserie), seafood, and bold sides with an Asian influence.
Donovan’s Prime Seafood upholds the same high standards of service and cuisine as its Downtown and La Jolla Steak and Chophouse counterpoints. As the latest addition to the Donovan’s family of restaurants, Donovan’s Prime Seafood specializes in serving the freshest sustainable seafood and shellfish on the market. The restaurant couples its commitment to sustainably sourced seafood with its promise to use local produce and ingredients. What results from such thoughtful practices is a distinguished and flavorful menu served up in an equally sophisticated and charming dining space. Classic in design, the Donovan’s Prime dining room suites its downtown location and urban vibe brilliantly. Whether diving into a serving of Alaskan King Crab Legs in the dining room or sipping from a Georgia Peach at the bar, Donovan’s Prime Seafood is the place to sample quality.
This new restaurant holds a special place in our hearts (and tummies) because it is owned and operated by former Event Team Operations Manager Peter Green (you know, that charming English bloke). Now open in Poway, Company Pub and Kitchen is a great pub serving Anglo-Californian comfort food. Bringing you the experience of a true gastropub, with the perfect partnership of a friendly local pub and the comfort cuisine, presented with a contemporary twist.
