Solare
Address: 2820 Roosevelt Road, San Diego, CA 92106
Solare Ristorante and Lounge is down-to-earth and elegant, inspired by an Asian aesthetic and Mediterranean spirit. A meal here can be dramatic or intimate, either amid the spacious and airy indoor and outdoor lounges, outdoor patio, or main dining room, or at one of the unique private tables: the two-person chef’s table overlooking the kitchen, the elegant, 24-seat private room, or the charming glass wine room that houses a single romantic table. Solare’s inventive, contemporary Italian cuisine is thoughtful and engaging, spun from premium ingredients like organic produce, domestic, hormone-free meat, and fresh seafood. Favorites include house-made Butternut Squash Ravioli, Black Truffle Risotto, Domestic Rack of Lamb, and Oven-Roasted Sea Bream. Regulars flock for daily happy hours, live music, weekly specials, and free parking.

Isabel's Cantina
Address: 966 Felspar Street, San Diego, CA 92109
At Isabel's Cantina, Chef Isabel Cruz fuses Latin and Asian cuisine into sensual and creative concoctions that are both remarkably addictive and surprisingly healthy. By incorporating ingredients from spicy pork carnitas to tofu, Chef Cruz creates a vegetarian’s haven as well as a meat-lover’s paradise. The exotic dining space is at once dramatic and hip, with accents such as an enormous 15-foot Buddha statue staring down at the dining room. Casual booths, stark lines, and warm colors create an atmosphere not found elsewhere in Pacific Beach, attracting crowds for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
