Farm To Fork Week January 2018
Join us Tuesday January 16th through Saturday January 20th for San Diego Farm To Fork Week, where we will be offering a $40 three course, prix fixe Farm to Table dinner option, in addition to our a la carte menu. The prix fixe includes choice of soup/salad/appetizer, choice of entree, choice of dessert. Our menu is handcrafted from scratch daily using five local San Diego farms. Menu is posted to our website each day by noon. While Farm to Fork itself is a larger movement, the twice yearly Farm to Fork Week here in San Diego is a chance to support local chefs and restaurants that have made a commitment to support local farms and purveyors. It’s also a perfect time to try new restaurants at affordable prices. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made here or by calling the restaurant 619-431-5755.
