I love the beach. I love dive joints. I love fresh fish. Put all 3 together and it is a good day. Oscar’s Mexican Seafood in Pacific Beach is rocking the Fish Tacos. It ain’t fancy and it’s counter service. Grab a couple of fish tacos and sit on the beach and enjoy them! They have 3 […]

Pacific Beach is a cool, gritty neighborhood in San Diego right on the ocean. It’s pretty sweet and JRDN restaurant which is in the cool Tower 23 boutique hotel is literally right on the beach. You just can’t beat it for location. Especially at sunset. Is the food amazing? No. But it is not bad […]

If you want to have good thin crust pizza in a casual, hip atmosphere then hit up Olio Pizzeria. It is one of three joints from the Olio Group. They have a great wine selection as well and I like the vibe in there. Just don’t let them seat you upstairs and you are good.

Olio Crudo Bar is fun. It is the latest addition to the Olio group, offering crudo(raw) Italian seafood and meats, as well as cotto (cooked) bar menu items. Sashimi with an Italian accent! Love this place. It’s tiny and the food is delicious. I could have kept eating the Hamachi (pictured below) and they are making some […]

I love a good breakfast on the weekend and even more so when I am visiting my daughter and she just ran a half marathon. Luckily I had a tip to checkout Jeannine’s. Always a good sign when there is a line out the door and this place delivered. Everyone loved their food. My Eggs […]

I love Santa Barbara. Great weather. Great food. If you like Italian then hit up Olio e Limone. It’s authentic Sicilian fare & wine served in a white-tableclothed dining room. So it’s a little fancy but not over the top. The food is fantastic and so is the wine. Santa Barbara has wine country just north so […]

Whenever I visit my daughter in Santa Barbara we always go to Savoy Cafe & Deli. This place has been featured on Diners, Drive Ins & Dives and it is not a gut bomb. Great breakfasts, tasty salad bar and wonderful sandwiches. My daughter had the El Cap. Ciabatta, dijon mustard, Savoy greens, avocado, tomato, portabella mushroom, […]

The Lark is outstanding. It has it all going on. It’s located in the historic Santa Barbara Fish Market building. Situated in the heart of the Funk Zone, a vibrant arts district and home to local surf shops, galleries and the popular Urban Wine Trail. The atmosphere is phenomenal, service amazing and the food ridiculously good. […]
