Chef Rick's Ultimately Fine Description:
Yes, Chef Rick's is in an unassuming strip mall, but you'll forget that as soon as you're seated and start taking in the menu. Meals start with a basket of freshly baked breads, like jalapeño cheese rolls, and go from there. Chef Rick Manson looks to the South for inspiration, be it the Deep South, the Southwest, or the local bounty of Southern California. Favorites on the regular menu include a crispy fried chicken salad with refreshing green onion dressing, and the roasted garlic soup with a bit of a kick to it. Specials can run the gamut from lamb quesadillas to a fried oyster salad to grilled steak. Vegetarian dishes aren't an afterthought here, with homemade raviolis, various treatments of roasted eggplant on grits, and even a veggie "hero" sandwich. Desserts vary, but you'll typically have choices such as cheesecake, something bursting with chocolate, or a creation featuring seasonal fruit. As for wine, Chef Rick has enjoyed a longtime relationship with the local industry, a rapport that's reflected in the restaurant's intriguing wine list.
