OK,

So I began the process of opening another new restaurant today…day 1…ground zero…whatever you want to call it. As glamorous as it sounds, I worked with Drevan on the menu’s (dinner, banquet, catering) and went over the equipment list, which I will have to go over in detail very soon. Out of all of this grandeur, I did find time to snap some pictures (4) with my iPhone. I know this thing would come in handy one day.

This is the status of the Glass Door restaurant as of 17 March 2008.

and finally the view (and what a view it is!)

More photo’s when I get my DSLR in house and work some magik!

Yes…that is right, but not your regular type of restaurant. Let me explain a bit…

This restaurant is attached to a new, boutique hotel here in San Diego’s Little Italy and is unlike anything the city has to currently offer. Wi-Fi, and all the amenities one would expect from a 4-star hotel just without the pricing structure. The rooms, for their location are, in my mind inexpensive…but more about the hotel later.

The restaurant is called the Glass Door and boasts a commanding view of San Diego Bay (which no other restaurant has in Little Italy), a great bar and a menu that is going to bury the other restaurants in the city. The cuisine is New American, the decor is modern lounge and your invited to experience this all with me.

I will be posting, starting Monday my journal 3 times a week chronicling the build out of the restaurant. So stay tuned and I hope you all enjoy the ride!
