California Modern

California Modern now offers restaurant guests an opportunity to explore “San Diego on a plate”. Executive Chef Trey Foshee gives a behind-the-scenes look at the California Modern dining experience, and how San Diego influences his culinary thinking and approach to creating flavor-forward modern fare with a sense of place, sense of time and an element of surprise in every dish.

If you’ve ever wondered what San Diego might taste like, come have dinner with us.

At California Modern, our passion is telling the San Diego story through food. Our menu is a conversation about the lifestyle, ingredients and sense of place that is San Diego. We source locally grown or harvested products whenever possible. And while it's beautiful year-round, we still have seasons and there's a time when everything is at its absolute peak of flavor. That's when you'll find it on our menu, used in creative preparations that give you a dining experience that can only happen here. 

Located on the lower level at George's at the Cove, we offer three ways for guests to enjoy California Modern cooking:

MODERN BAR

Pure, intensified flavors don’t just
happen on the plate.

In the Modern Bar, we use fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, and fine spirits when we create our seasonal cocktails, like the very popular "Bee Sting" made with kumquats, honey, ginger and lemongrass. Our wine list is open to cultural influences from all corners of civilization, not just California (though we have a lot of home-grown favorites). So whether you're into chardonnay, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon, or albarino, grenache and tempranillo, you'll find a wine that's right for you.
