Soleil@K Description:
This airy restaurant with subtle yellow tones and frosted glass is located at the doorstep of Petco Park, in the Marriott San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, ensuring a steady clientele of baseball revelers and hotel patrons. Locals will be happy to know that Soleil@K is no longer a tourist-only destination, but rather a fine stop for after-work drinks and appetizers (check out the communal tables), family gatherings, and even romantic dates. Chef Eddie Fincher helms this spot, where California cuisine means starters like tempura lobster with a wild mushroom risotto cake and truffle butter or carefully constructed artisan cheese plates with geléed fig jam, honeycomb and various dried fruits. Oven-roasted rib stacks with apricot glaze deliver a heartier beginning while the artisan flatbreads---like rock shrimp and avocado with chorizo and roasted peppers---are a fun share. A sweet success arrives in the form of roasted maple duck with lavender honey glaze while furikake-crusted ahi finds great companion in tempura long beans and wasabi mashed potatoes. Fincher's interesting flavor combinations make for a fun menu read, like his grilled mahi mahi with sweet potato purée, papaya cream and vanilla oil. Desserts show creativity, in particular the caramel and cream soda float.
