The Kitchen @mcasd offers a pleasant dining experience with delicious food and attentive service. Located near the ocean, it provides a stunning view, making it a great spot to visit in La Jolla and the museum of contemporary art. Popular dishes include the eggs benedict, churro french toast, salmon Benedict, hamachi crudo, broccoli tahini, chicken schnitzel, and steak frites. The churro French toast, topped with mandarin oranges and mint, is one of the best dishes in San Diego. The breakfast burrito is considered bland and could benefit from more flavor, while the martini and margarita were a little watery. The restaurant is perfect for brunch, with fresh, piping hot food, bright fruits, and crisp vegetables. 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 sunset views and San Diego ambiance.
