Well the time has come to start our dinner service, which begins in earnest this evening. We had a sucessful weekend running our brunch menu and our breakfast menu has been live for the past week. We have had alot of great compliments from both hotel guests and locals alike. My staff and myself are very excited to get this final piece of the puzzle up and running so the Glass Door restaurant will be the dining destination in the Little Italy section of downtown San Diego.

The oysters pictured above are from our small plates menu that runs from 10 pm until 1 pm nightly. I am searching for locally produced oysters for this dish, ones that will show the quality of the foodsstuffs coming from the greater San Diego region. Until I find ones I like, we will be using Fanny Bay oysters (pictured above).

Our menu here focuses on New American cuisine, which incorporates the traditional flavors of the American population and their homelands with locally sourced and procured products. There is no better city to do this type of food in than San Diego, as we have a wide range of products spanning many countries and cuisines.

As time is short and I have to get some dinner prep going I must run. In the coming days I’ll post some photo’s of some of our other menu items and go into a bit of detail of what the dishes are about and where  the products are from.

Best,

chefRob
