Tapenade Review

Tapenade 
$$$, French, La Jolla
Fodor's Review:
Named after the delicious Provençal black olive-and-anchovy paste that accompanies the bread here, Tapenade specializes in the cuisine of the south of France -- although that cuisine has lost some of its weight in the trip across the Atlantic. It now matches the unpretentious, light, and airy room, lined with 1960s French movie posters, in which it is served. Fresh ingredients, a delicate touch with sauces, and an emphasis on seafood characterize the menu, which changes frequently. If you're lucky, it may include boar stewed in red wine (possibly the single best entrée in San Diego), lobster in a lobster-corn sauce flavored with Tahitian vanilla, pan-gilded sea scallops, and desserts like chocolate fondant. The two-course "Riviera Menu" served at lunch for $19.95 is a fabulous steal.
