Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Address: 875 Prospect Street, La Jolla, CA 92037
Seated among the swank décor, cool lighting and plush booths at Roppongi’s, there’s no shortage of delicious delights. A typical evening might begin with a Sake-tini and a bite from Sushi Chef’s Shinji Okano’s sushi bar like the Albacore Jalapeño Roll. Next, the Asian tapas menu offers a seemingly endless selection of small dishes as varied as traditional chicken satay and shrimp and scallop potstickers with tobiko caviar sauce. The dinner menu is equally tantalizing, filled with Chef Stephen Window’s unique “new Asian cuisine” creations. Sommelier Megan Burgess presents an extensive award-winning wine list that is as varied as Chef Window’s cuisine, and desserts like Tahitian Bananas offer a decadent conclusion.

Mister Tiki Mai Tai Lounge
Address: 801 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
Mister Tiki Mai Tai Lounge is a refreshingly whimsical oasis in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. Well-known for its exotic drinks and inventive sushi Mister Tiki has recently expanded its menu to include a variety of entrees for a more complete dining experience. Combining the earthy, fruity, and spicy flavors of Pacific Island cuisine with fresh mainland ingredients, Mister Tiki crafts concoctions that are approachable and novel. The Mister Tiki décor also blends the bold with the familiar: bamboo wood tables and invitingly expansive booths radiate a refined exoticism while towering Tiki sculptures, lava lamps, and vintage surfing videos evoke a playfully kitschy nostalgia that is both accessible and hip.

Indigo Grill
Address: 1536 India Street, San Diego, CA 92101
Rather than imparting a sense of place, as many restaurants aim to do, the Indigo Grill takes diners on a journey. Starting in Alaska and ending in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Indigo Grill follows the West coast of North America. The route is interpreted through Chef Deborah Scott’s fittingly adventurous menu, which intertwines Mexican and Native American flavors, matches Northern comfort food with Southern heat, and presents ingredients from both land and sea. Daring combinations of indigenous ingredients, culinary techniques, and traditions result in a truly special, somewhat mythical culinary experience that delights the senses and satisfies the adventurous spirit.

Urban Bar and Grill
Address: 827 5th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
Steak lovers, Asian fare enthusiasts, and fans of the noodle may finally join together around the same table to savor a meal at Urban Bar and Grill. Executive Chef Damien Stanley has worked hard to build a menu that caters to a wide variety of taste without compromising an ounce of quality. Vietnamese classics and Italian favorites can be found mingling among other selections like the Half Pound Cheeseburger – and all are served in a dining space that boasts a charming degree of playfulness. The air of sophistication this restaurant exudes is achieved by renouncing conventionalism for something much more impressive: the eagerness to please.
