$$-$$$, Contemporary, Escondido
Fodor's Review:
This pretty storefront restaurant lies a block from the California Center for the Arts. It consists of a collection of individually decorated gardenlike dining rooms, and a sidewalk dining area. The seasonal menu might feature honey-peppercorn salmon, pecan roasted pork with braised Swiss chard, or filet mignon with Thai-basil bearnaise. Reservations are essential on weekends.
