Kitchen 1540 Restaurant Review

Executive chef Nathan Lingle oversees this sophisticated restaurant in L'Auberge Del Mar. The dynamic menu focuses on coastal harvest cuisine, simply prepared, showcasing bold flavors within the changing seasons. As always, the food puts an emphasis on quality products and farm fresh ingredients. To start, there's summer squash carpaccio with goat's milk ricotta or green tomato gazpacho....

"If your date isn't impressed here, get a new one" assert fans of this "stellar" New American in the "fashionable" L'Auberge Del Mar, where a well-heeled crowd coos over a "creative" menu incorporating "molecular gastronomy and local, seasonal ingredients" served by a "professional" staff; the dining room is "elegant", but for many, the real appeal lies in the "fantastic" outdoor cabanas...

With a fresh garden out back this

With a fresh garden out back this redesigned restaurant has undergone some changes but it still a good stop for wine and small plates.

Andre Kikoski-designed Kitchen 1540, which is hipper and livelier than L'Auberge Del Mar's former dining room (J. Taylor's). Locally sourced meats (Palomar Mountain burgers) inventive dishes like duck skin around bigeye tuna, all play to the wonderment of guests. Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.

Kitchen 1540 is fantastic. As a San Diego native, I feel it's one of the best restaurants in San Diego. Outstanding service, food, and wine. The menu is constantly changing and everything is always fantastic. I've never been disappointed. Probably my favorite restaurant in SD.
