George’s at the Cove

Georges' at the CoveVery simply, George’s at the Cove is for people who believe in enjoying the San Diego lifestyle to its fullest. And that includes a great meal. If you want to experience innovative, contemporary food at its peak of freshness, a memorable evening awaits at California Modern, featuring an ever-changing menu from one of San Diego’s most admired chefs, Trey Foshee.

And George’s Bar, on the middle level, offers a relaxed setting where the indoors and outdoors flow together.

Our first stop was San Sebastian, a city of 187,000 people in the heart of the Basque country bordering the southwestern flank of France. Read More »

Local Lobster Season: A Bust (Part 2)

This is a note I sent to all our staff last week. Because this is the second year in a row that we will not be able to offer our popular spiny lobster tasting menu, I felt it was worth sharing in a broader context. "The spiny lobster season recently opened and once again the local community is being priced out of the market..." Read More »
