The Kitchen @mcasd offers a pleasant dining experience with delicious food and attentive service. Located near the ocean, it provides a stunning view with cactuses and palms framing the coastline, making it a great spot to visit in La Jolla and the museum of contemporary art. The dining opportunities are beautiful, both indoors and out, and the service is consistently excellent. Popular dishes include the eggs benedict, churro french toast, salmon Benedict, hamachi crudo, broccoli tahini, chicken schnitzel, and steak frites. The salmon is perfectly cooked with the crispiest skin, and the Za'atar Fries are a must try. The menu features fresh, interesting food with lots of flavors and textures, making it perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The happy hour menu is also delicious, though brunch remains the highlight. The architecture blends nature with industry, featuring retracting window doors and natural lighting. With frequent menu changes and special ingredient nights, like squash or tomato nights, The Kitchen @mcasd creates a memorable dining experience, especially with its gorgeous ocean views and San Diego ambiance. Visitors are encouraged to use the valet parking on the left side of the property for convenience.
