Herb & Wood serves as the archetype for San Diego’s dining scene, embodying the city’s vibrant, unpretentious charm. Chef Brian Malarkey developed the project in 2016, and then passed his celebrity torch to Executive Chef Carlos Anthony.
Herb & Wood’s menu is constantly changing, offering a unique representation of San Diego’s freshest produce, herbs and seafood. Chef Carlos adds the zest of Mediterranean flavors to exquisitely prepared proteins, vegetables, pasta and pizzas inspired by his childhood memories of cooking traditional Mexican food with his grandma.

Encinitas’ Herb & Sea invites guests to indulge in the bounties of land and the ocean. The restaurant’s warm, attentive staff, Art Deco-esque décor and sunlit patio (dubbed the Moonlight Deck) contribute to Herb & Sea’s idyllic dining atmosphere.
The menu combines East Coast culinary traditions with a modern, California sensibility. Enjoy oysters on the half shell, punchy crudos and a variety of smoked fish and ceviches. For a more carnivorous experience, Herb & Sea also offers meats and vegetables grilled over white oak. Whatever your selection, this popular coastal eatery promises to deliver a salty and summery seaside escape.

PIRCH
Unparalleled performance, classic design and internationally acclaimed – it’s the kind of trifecta rarely achieved by any one brand – much less two. But such is the case with Sub-Zero and Wolf. Family-owned and family-run for over three generations, this brand remains committed to refining and mastering the world’s finest refrigeration and cooking appliances. Built and tested to the highest standards, Sub-Zero is more than just refrigeration. It is a food-preservation system, with almost 70 years of innovative thinking behind it. Create a room where refrigeration stands out or, if you prefer, blends in. Built-in refrigeration comes with the classic stainless steel Sub-Zero look or finished in custom panels. Integrated units disappear into the décor, with neither hinge nor grille in sight. Like SubZero, Pirch also believes that the kitchen is where important moments happen; a place where memories happen –memories that can only occur when you share food and drinks with the people you love.
