Laurel

Terribly trendy place that could as easily be in New York or London. Successful thirty somethings dress in black and finally have somewhere to show off their designer clothes in San Diego. The food is Modern American and is executed generally well indeed e.g. a juicy dish of divers scallops on one visit. A second visit also featured fine scallops but some variable dishes elsewhere; still, a nice venue. The restaurant is near the attractive Balboa Park.
