- Ups and downslovelyDined on 10/9/2014Our group was treated fantastically. Starting with some service to the lobby area for our meeting. Great server. When we went to eat, all was great but the two people who ordered the red snapper special. The fish had little flavor and was served cold. On the up side, they baked chocolate chip cookies for us upon request. Delicious!Special Features:
- InnovationSteakDined on 10/2/2014We enjoy the food very much; it was well-prepared and flavorful. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.Special Features:
- Nice PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014We went on our first Mami/Daddy after first baby born date (7 months), it was a nice place, well lit and had some good options for food. Our Server tooka long time before she came to ask us about drinks, appetizers and to bring our drinks (Just Soda) to us.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Shouldn't name your restaurant...Mad4foodDined on 9/10/2014Innovation (the street name) if you aren't going to live up to it. Ordered frisée salad and mussels in wine for a light meal. The mussels were clean but the broth tasted like they used cooking wine. The salad dressing was tasty but some of the frisée was so old it was almost slimy. All in all for an out of towner it was a pretty dismal experience. The food was NOT innovative.
- Food alright, service greatOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/2/2014Our waitress was very accommodating and very attentive. The food was decentSpecial Features:
- The following 170 reviews are from the Innovation reviews archive.
- luvopentableVIPDined on 7/17/2014It is totally amazing how a hotel restaurant can create such fantastic food. We had the small filet with blue cheese butter, caramelized onions, and mushrooms . . . exquisite! We had the Mediterranean Tapas as a bar appetizer, which served beautifully and tasted as good as it looked. When you visit Innovations, don't forget to try the Cheddar Beer soup, which is the best we've tasted anywhere!!!Special Features:
- Sunday brunchDisappointingDined on 6/8/2014Our party of 3 was was seated about as far away from the buffet as we could get considering the restaurant was nearly empty. There was no one at the carving station at any time that the 3 of us made a trip to the buffet and only once during those trips was there someone manning the omelet station. The prime rib was not even warm. The rest of the food was not what I had expected having had dinner there previously.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014It felt too much like a motel lobby to garner any real praise.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/8/2014Food not worth the price. Waitress and hostess very nice when we requested our table to be cleaned (twice but we should have not had to do that in the first place. Food was mediocre but expensive. Not going back
- Good place to take visitorsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/18/2014We often have visitors stay at this hotel when they come to visit MCW/Froedtert and Innovations is an excellent place to catch a meal, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food is always good, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is bright and clean. It's usually pretty quiet so good to have conversations or take a group and still be able to interact well.Special Features:
- luvopentableVIPDined on 4/17/2014Excellent - lunch is as good as dinner here. The cheddar beer soup is amazing!Special Features:
- Nice experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/21/2014I completely enjoyed our meal, great wait staff wonderful fish fry and absolutely loved the salad bar. We will be back.Special Features:
- Very Good ExperienceMahvelousmDined on 3/16/2014I must say that this is definitely a place that I will be returning to. The hosts and waitress were so very helpful and friendly. The prime rib was on 10! Spinach dip was on 10. Everything was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We have eaten here in theCherylDined on 3/15/2014We have eaten here in the past and have always been happy with food and service. Food was good, but cold. Service was a bit uneven.Special Features:
- Sunday brunchMitchriderDined on 3/9/2014Wife and I went to brunch after church and enjoyed it very much. The wait staff was great and a nice selection of different foods. This was not the best brunch we have ever been to but it was worth going.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceSmokey1Dined on 2/14/2014Beautiful decor, accommodating, helpful staff, and good food. I will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow, Blah, Grossdavd123Dined on 1/25/2014We had high hopes of this restaurant. It fell short in every way. Cons: Service was not good. Our water glasses were never refilled, no one came to check on our meals, our check was tossed on our table before we had finished. The food was blah. Normally, I'd say the portions were too small, but given that the food was below average, it was okay. The food was lukewarm when it came to our table. It was overpriced for what we received. The wine was gross. We are not wine connoisseurs, but we know what old wine (maybe they were trying to age it themselves?) tastes like. Ew. We were given two gift certificates. We were only able to use one per visit. Fortunately, we were able to exchange the unused one for somewhere else. We won't be back.
- not so good food.mck738VIPDined on 1/24/2014the market bar was skimpy on greens and heavy on bread like food.fish was walleye but was pieces of some rather tasteless ends of fish. the wine and beer list was good and extensive in variety. our server heather was very pleasant and efficient.
- Good buffetJhildeDined on 1/19/2014Prime rib was excellent. Often buffet "prime rib" tastes more like a beef roast. Instead instead the prime rib here was like ordering from a good restaurant . Also recommend the shrimp and cheesecake on the dessert table.Special Features:
- never again1sttimerDined on 12/21/2013Scallops were overcooked. Waitress not very friendly. No specials. Restaurant hard to locate. Won't go back.
- Cold FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/14/2013Tuna appetizer was over cooked. Main course was well prepared, but it was served on cold plates. So the food was not hot at service time. No chocolate desert choice on menu. Room Service was 40 minutes, again the food was well prepared but cold by the time it was delivered.
- The Friday Chef's MarketplaceluvopentableVIPDined on 11/22/2013The Friday Chef's Marketplace Buffet is wonderful for lunch; beer-battered cod and potato pancakes to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great salad bar!fussyfoodieDined on 11/8/2013Love their fish fry. The baked fish was very good. The clam chowder is always good, a little thick this time, tho. The salad bar was very fresh and the breads were fresh also. Will go back again since the baked fish is good for our diets!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Accommodating staffDebTVIPDined on 10/14/2013The food was good, but what stood out was the accommodating waitress and kitchen staff. I am on a restricted diet for now and they made sure I had what I needed.Special Features:
- Innovations has been one ofluvopentableVIPDined on 10/3/2013Innovations has been one of our faves, but now the menu is totally changed; no tempura shrimp, blackened tilapia, etc. -- more to the burgers and sandwich menu now. They still do have their fantastic beer cheddar soup though!I would recommend this to a friend.
- GemdadandaonDined on 10/2/2013Hotel restaurants are often under-rated, and Innovations is no exception. Our steaks were correctly cooked and had a good beef flavor, on par with the Chophouse and Capitol Grill downtown. The rolls were delicious, and were refilled without asking. Potato and asparagus side dishes were good. The sparsely filled restaurant was quiet. Our servers were attentive, but not cloying. Ignore the construction on Watertown Plank and grab an excellent steak dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday dinnerMoandJaneDined on 9/20/2013Based on my exploration of the reataurant's website prior to visiting, I was expecting a wonderful menu and a great dining experience when I chose to eat at Innovation for the very first time. While the food was quite good, I was very disappointed with the menu overall. There were very few items from which to choose, and there was no sign of a dessert list. Perhaps that is standard on a Friday due to the fish fry the restaurant offers, but it would have been helpful to note that information on the web page. I look forward to visiting Innovation on a different day so I may check out the entire menu's offerings.Special Features:
- Nice surpriseScottDined on 8/23/2013The best fish fry I have been to. Very good food along with excellent salad & soup bar. Incredible value for the money!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Dinner DateKat33Dined on 8/16/2013We try to go out for a nice dinner a couple of times a year. My husband prefers steak and he was not disappointed with his. I had the Friday Fish Fry baked cod dinner and it was also very good . Salad bar was so-so but I loved the cornbread. Would like to try again on another night but Friday to see what other dinners are offered since I'm not a steak eater. Our server and service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerDebTVIPDined on 8/13/2013They have some great happy hour specials. I really like the chicken salad sandwich.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fish fryKathyDined on 7/19/2013Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this restaurant for their Friday night fish fry. The salad bar had very little to offer, the hush puppies were dry as a bone and the fish was terrible. The baked fish was as big as my finger and was completely over done. The fried fish was extremely greasy. Even though it was "all you can eat," I sure didn't want any more due to the quality. It was over priced at $11.95.
- Nice brunchSkinny129Dined on 6/16/2013Good variety for brunch. Everything was very fresh. Decent prime rib. Omelette bar is very nice also.Special Features:
- Great nightstarviewerDined on 5/11/2013It was our first time at Innovation and we all loved it. We had a party of 6 people and not one of us were disappointed. The food was great and the service was excellent. Four of us had the prime rib and then one had the fillet and the other had chicken the food was hot and done to perfection and I would recommend Innovation to any and everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- neautralzmunnieVIPDined on 4/18/2013went there for the first time and ordered the mahi mahi with the mango salsa...and the fish was VERY dry. the wild rice side was good (a little salty). my partner ordered the iron flat steak with the baked potato. It was alright. the waitress took a while to come to our table for water and the check.Special Features:
- Ambiance is lacking. However,OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/12/2013Ambiance is lacking. However, food is better than you'd expect and service has been excellent the 3 times we've dined there. The all-you-can-eat fish fry is excellent. They have a salad/soup/cheese bar that is excellent too. I wish they'd use some paint and new carpet to pop up the atmosphere.
- Decent place for a date night!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/3/2013The food wasn't spectacular, yet it wasn't bad. I liked the decor and it was fairly quiet, maybe too quiet for some people's taste. The service was fast and like I stated the food wasn't bad either. If I wanted a quick decent place to go, that's not too loud on a date night, I would definetly patron them again!
- Ladies Who LuncholderwiserVIPDined on 3/26/2013Lovely lunch with a group of six ladies. Excellent service and a menu that provided a nice variety of lunch entrees. Pleased everyone who wanted a salad, sandwich, pasta, or full lunch entree.Special Features:
- One of the worst experiences...OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/9/2013After we were seated, we had one of the worst dining experiences ever. Despite the fact that the restaurant was only partially full, we were waited on by like 8 different people. Our original waitress took our order and never came back until the end, when she seemed to be irritated that we wanted dessert; the bartender finally brought my drink after about 15 minutes; someone else brought out our food; after being ignored for over an hour, we were still waiting for anyone to come over, and finally had to flag down another person to ask for more water - she turned, pointed to a table nearby and said "it's over there" then walked away. Our food wasn't terrible, but the service was bad enough to never go back.Special Features:
- Limited Menu and Meh at thatChrisVIPDined on 2/15/2013The menu was limited. Normally a portobello burger is just that - a vegetarian option consisting of a large grilled portobello mushroom I've never been anywhere where it's been anything other than that. Here, it was a beef burger with portobello mushrooms on it. My dinner companion informed me on the way there that she is a vegetarian (actually, she'd been practicing a vegan lifestyle). There was nothing for her to eat - at least nothing that appealed to her. She was dismayed that the portobello burger was not as it is every other place. My salad was just okay. Nothing better than any other caesar salad served at any other restaurant or even out of a bag at the grocery store. We went there because I'd never been and it was close. Meh
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 2/8/2013We have had good experiences here but not tonight. We were seated near the door - close to the server's counter and next to a large group that became louder as the night progressed. All new diners needed to pass by our table on their way to the main dining room. Our cocktails were weak and not even what we ordered. Their replacements were good but arrived halfway through our meal. Our server was not attentive until we had to hail down the maitre d' about our drinks. If we do return, we will definitely not accept the same seating.

Juniper and Ivy / First visit impressions
Went on their second night open to the public after 3 soft openings on successive nights last week.
Impressive, attractive building from the outside at night. $5 valet parking, which is a real convenience in that area of Kettner. You drive into a driveway at the restaurant to leave car with valet, and are right at the front door.
Immediately greeted. We were 10 minutes early and asked to sit in spacious waiting area until table ready. Not a cocktail area, strictly waiting. No more than 3-4 minutes later the hostess told us our table was ready. We also got a text at the same time telling us table ready, which was a nice touch.
Dining room very crowded, but each table, including ours, looked to have plenty of space. Seating comfortable. Greeted within a minute or two by our server and water guy. Water choice is the usual still or sparkling, but it's not for sale--all on the house, and refilled throughout the meal as if it was for sale, which is to say constantly.
Strongly suggest reviewing the menu online before arrival, as there are so many delicious sounding items to choose from. We ordered in three stages: starters/bites first, then once those started arriving, ordered small and large plates, then finally dessert. Server made sure she knew what we wanted and when, and followed through.
Wine list: very well thought out; lots of small producers I'd never heard of; some interesting varietals like Gamay; prices seemed fair. All selections printed on the back side of the food menu. Anytime I see Gruner Veltliner on a list, I know the person who built it has some skill. A little off-putting was the detective work I had to employ to find champagne. All wines are listed grapes first, and under the heading "Fizzes" or some such was a "chardonnay/pinot noir LaSalle". This sounded like it might be champagne, but I had to ask to be sure. How about just telling me it's champagne on the list?
I won't go into great detail on the food, as it was only one visit and the 2nd night at that. The 3 of us, one of whom is a Chef, ordered the bag of olives, tuna tartare (excellent), carne asada crudo, charred grapes on cheese toast, shaved asparagus salad (creative, yummy, a keeper), grilled spot prawns (tasty but smallish), San Diego chicken (cleverly named after the old Padres mascot I'm sure), Pork "shorty", vegetable and grains plate, and a rhubarb tart, which the chef in our party felt was the best plate of the evening. Everything was at least good and the noted dishes were well beyond good.. The pork was a little under seasoned; the veggie dish came out with cold, room temp and hot portions, which was unintended. Overall quite good; nothing looked or tasted weird in a nuclear gastronomy kind of way. (I'm sure that may generate some agitation…sorry.)
One humorous moment; the first dish to arrive was a hermetically sealed bag of green olives placed before us in a small bowl by the young runner. He left, I picked up and pondered what to do with the sealed bag when the server noted this and called him back to release the olives into the bowl. Maybe the first bag of olives he'd served, who knows:)
Chef Blais came by to chat and was friendly and unaffected. We chatted for a good 3-4 minutes. Same with the GM, who dropped by towards the end of the meal.
The room was very noisy. Packed with diners at each table and people dining at each seat at the bar. Can't wait to dine in the outside patio during warmer weather. All in all, they've got their stuff together quite well at such an early stage, and it would seem hard not to have a positive experience.
re: Beach Chick
To me, it was very noisy, yet one could still converse without shouting, but barely. To my 30-ish son, the noise wasn't a problem at all. It wouldn't keep me away.
re: mcgrath
I don't believe there are any restaurants in Little Italy that isn't noisy, or at a minimum "rather lively".
re: mcgrath
Went today. It is good, not great. Shared about 8 appetizers/small dishes. The winner was the cornbread and the lemon parfait.
The Carlsbad oysters were OK, not enough seawater to let them slide, so I had to give them a fork help.
Kale salad was fine, but the seeweed was a bit much for me. The homemade dressing was delicious.
Chicken oysters were very moist, but having them on a bed of strong smelling seeweed was just strange.
The Jamon Iberico is first class quality, but you will not get much.
The dessert was fantastic. Inexpensive and plentiful, butso yummy.
Shared 3 cocktails and 1 glass of wine. The Keenan Merlot was very good, the cocktails just fine.
Happy that we have new chefs coming to San Diego.
re: Beach Chick
For my wife and I, is was noisy enough to make conversation slightly more difficult than normal. If the food was so-so it would be enough of a bother to question returning, but for us the food was well worth it.
Tangent: what's with san diego restaurants not caring about noise level at all?? I get the open rafters and reclaimed barnwood and all that, but throw some foam in those rafters or something.
sounds good...thanks for the encouraging and thorough report....I am shooting for a visit Thursday, without reservations, for the bar area and/or community table.... a friend, owner of the largest wine bar in SD, attended opening night and suggests the biscuit, chicken oysters, and steak (he also sat besides Javier Plascencia who talked about his grand (re)opening of Finca Altozano in Guadalupe Valley).
re: MrKrispy
on Kettner, between Juniper and Ivy (think about 3-4 blocks north of The Waterfront, on the same side of the street).
re: El Chevere
i failed at my joke, sorry
re: MrKrispy
I missed it too. Funny. Grant's Tomb et al.
Went for an early dinner this evening. Loved the food, had the dates, the beet salad, the shaved asparagus, the San Diego Chicken and the strip steak.
Not a clunker among them- very enjoyable food.
MrsName works nearby, and will return. But I might not.
Why not? It's exactly the kind of environment I can no longer tolerate. A big converted industrial building, tastefully decorated and designed with Big Scale Entertainment Value. And it's true, the place is beautiful, with a beautiful kitchen, plenty of well-considered sight lines etc.
And while the food is top-notch- among the best I've had in our town, it was the same, loud, overly-stimulating Foodisco I've come to avoid like a staph infection. It's not a place to go enjoy the pleasure of the company of others, except in a frat-house style. The opposite of intimacy.
I'm not cool enough to enjoy it.
re: Fake Name
I was concerned by mcgrath's comments about the noise level, and your experience corroborates both his and bradley's reports.
I have a pretty low tolerance to noise when I'm dining, which is exacerbated by a hearing problem, and so I guess I'll try to go after the initial grand-opening rush is past, when there might not be as many people (or maybe not so many highly excited people?).
But as of right now, it doesn't sound like a place that I'd want to go to for dinner with my companion. Too bad, because all indications so far on our board are that the food is quite good.
re: DoctorChow
a lot of restaurateurs seem to have this nightclub mindset that their target clientele must be 22 year olds who only will step inside because they happen to be walking by and hear the music. Or they read an internet business article that loud rooms turn tables faster (without ever mentioning the loss of repeat customers).
While I don't desire most restaurants to be a dimly lit, silent-as-a-graveyard space, I do enjoy being able to hear my dining companions and hear the wait staff. The whole concept is pretty dumb IMO.
re: MrKrispy
not as though 22 year old's will spend $100 on dinner, either...they are stupid enough to spend $400 for a $30 bottle of vodka that comes with a sofa called 'bottle service' inside a night club, but I've yet to seem them splurge on food at that age--unless restos are trying to compete with nightclubs....not sure......I'm trying to go tonight with a friend without reservations and will report back if I do.
re: El Chevere
I went last night and I did notice it to be loud upon entering but I soon forgot about it. I wouldn't say it was loud enough to distract from conversation. It is certainly not intimate although where we were sitting maybe so with the neighboring tables.
Just got back and had a very enjoyable meal/experience. Did not have reservations--which were limited for the first night or two to less than capacity to give the kitchen an opportunity to get its feet wet--but ended up sitting at a corner of the main bar as you walk in.....the facility also has a community table as well as small tables that seat 2-3 people that overlook the main dining area and a lounge area that does not accept reservations but are available to diners on a first come, first serve basis.
Started off with the biscuit that was very good, followed by the tuna tartare and a duck toast dish that were also very good before proceeding to the main courses. I had the steak which was quite good while my friend ordered the pork--he agreed with earlier posts about it being slightly overcooked (he ordered it medium, but would order it medium rare next time) but enjoyed the quality of the food....loved the presentation and plates they served the food on....washed down my steak with a glass of Bench Cabernet from Alexander Valley that was tastey and reasonably priced at $12 per glass.
The highlight was the 'yodel' devil cake dessert--exceptionally 'chocolately' and full of flavor...had the pleasure of being joined for most of our dinner at the bar with one of the key visionaries behind the project and had a great conversation. The noise level mentioned by some did not seem to bother me and I definitely plan on returning--next time, with a reservation, and in one of the sleek and sexy booths. Overall, a very positive experience.
re: El Chevere
Thanks for the detailed review!
re: El Chevere
Wow..haven't had a steak since 1973 but that sure looks good.
Great report.
re: Beach Chick
Should add you can order a burger that is not listed on the menu with ground chuck, sirloin, and one more blended cut of meat I cannot recall....the burger is how Blais laid his claim to fame.
re: El Chevere
I've always thought his signature burger at FLIP was a combination of short rib, brisket and chuck, but Blais has so many variations, who knows.
re: ipsedixit
Someone needs to do a bayou burger with duck, gator, frog and nutria (boudin and a duck egg on top).
re: ipsedixit
I could be wrong as I had a few glasses of wine in me at the time one of the principals behind the project shared that information with me, but that's what I thought I heard.
re: El Chevere
How was seating at the bar..others eating in the bar?
I'm a booth chick and those booths in the main look fab or I love eating in the bar..
The seats look comfortable and the bar stools as well..
Love me a comfy seat!
re: Beach Chick
your rear will actually sink in the padded bar stools--very comfortable....seating in the bar was first come first serve....not my first preference if I were to dine there (but beggars without reservations cannot be choosey)....you have to sacrifice a little bit of service if you wish to dine at the bar as you are competing for the bartender's attention while she/they were making cocktails....if you get a table, great....if not and you wish to dine at the bar a little more patience is to be expected and you would be best off studying the menu, in advance, and giving your order (apps, main course) to the bartender at once..(though I did it in stages, exercising a little more patience than usual).
re: El Chevere
Maybe those few glasses of wine also helped you to be less bothered by the noise level, as well?
re: DoctorChow
not sure about that but some of the eye candy roaming the place caused some eye strain.
re: El Chevere
re: El Chevere
Love this place even more.....went back again tonight, Friday...started off with the chicken oysters appetizer that was out of this world....followed that up with the prawn and pork rigatoni which was exceptional.
Halfway through the meal, Richard Blais came around and recognized me from last night. We are both originally from Long Island (NY) and I suggested that he come up with a Long Island pub item for his menu, such as sliced London Broil served on garlic bread and topped with melted mozzarella cheese along with a BBQ dipping sauce....next thing you know, he comes back to our table a few minutes later with his own version for us to sample at no charge. How cool is that.
re: El Chevere
How cool is that? Very very cool.
re: El Chevere
That is very cool & the sandwich(?) looks fab.
Ms. Krispy and I made a visit last night and came away pretty happy. We didn't leave shellshocked and in awe, had some hits and misses but really enjoyed it and will be going back soon. We tried to hit a couple of sections of the menu for the first time instead of trying something from each.
summation - I will TRY not to repeat what has already been said. Sorry for the poor pictures, I snapped them in a hurry with no flash because those people annoy me haha.
1) Noise. We ate at 7:00, while it seemed to be typically noisy we didn't find it to be ear-splitting or unsettling like many other places (Cucina Urbana comes to mind).
2) Overall Menu. Rather eclectic. Most portions are on the small side, which I typically prefer actually, and most of the menu is geared towards sharing. Server explained everything at seating. We actually didn't even try any entree items. The menu has changed since the first reports and what is online. 3 pasta items, 6-10 starters, same with "salads"/small plates, 4-5 raw seafood selections, 3 toasts (bruschetta-esque), and maybe 6 entrees.
3)Drinks. I don't have much new to add except the craft beer section is quite poor (4 beers, all local) and the cocktail I had was delicious.
4)The service. Spot on, very attentive, friendly, and items arrived in the groupings on the menu which was nice. Items came out fast as well. If you want a long, slow-paced dinner I recommend you order in two batches.
5) From the Snacks and Toasts section
We started with the lamb bacon dates stuff with chevre. Tree trunk arrived with 4 of them (pictured). Chevre was completely lost in the sweet dates. Lamb bacon was crumbled atop, quite savory. Dates had a cocoa or coffee dust, I couldn't actually tell. Ms. Krispy was put off by the dusting. A miss, will not order again.
Next was the carne crudo asada. Carne asada ground like raw hamburger on top of thick cut very buttery toast, topped with quail eggs (poorly taken photo attached). Delicious, nicely seasoned, well ground (no tough or chewy bits). Server said meat was lightly seared before grinding. A hit, would love to have again!
6) from the small plates section the grilled artichoke salad and Pate. Artichoke salad was a small portion, nice char on the hearts (served cold) on an otherwise forgettable dish. Thinly sliced pears were perfectly ripe and played well with the others but I don't recall anything else about this dish. A miss.
The pate arrived as what I normally regard as a terrine, not whipped or pureed. Expertly crafted, which an abundance of pork flavor balanced nicely with fat and pistachios. Served with the thick cut toast, pickled onions and mini cauliflower florets.
Someone let the molecular gastronomist in the building, because on the pate plate there were purple dots of what the menu called "violet mustard" which blew me away..all with no fanfare or buzzwords on the menu. An initial taste of floral notes gave way to an almost shocking intense sweetness of what I could only describe as Kool-Aid, Crystal light, or Jello powder-flavor. Just when it seemed to be jarring the spicy mustard flavors knocked the palate back into reality. Amazing IMO, and went well with the dish. The mustard dots didn't make the dish but were a nice reminder of what they want to bring to San Diego. The dish was a sum of its parts, well played. A hit!
(Ms. Krispy couldn't get over the sweetness of the violet mustard I should note).
7) Lastly, our shrimp and pork rigatoni with self-described Brooklyn Gravy & burrata came out. At seating, the server mentioned pasta portions were only 3 oz (fine with us, we shared). Pasta looked sad as a small clump in the bottom of a relatively oversized bowl. Sauce and bits of meat tossed in with burrata that seemed to be haphazardly flung in on the sides. I thought the marinara was spot-on, shrimp and pork were nothing special nor was the dish. I liked it though, Ms. Krispy did not. A push.
Check arrived with a pair of macaroons...a hit!
I look forward to going back, will explore the raw section and entrees next. Neighbors seated next to us got the abalone and oyster dishes and both were drool-worthy. I look forward to other reviews.

re: MrKrispy
Went for 3rd time last night....as McGrath states, place is good (some items very good), but would not say great. Still will come back though.
Already, the place has turned into a typical downtown douche crowd--that did not take long. I was dining at the bar and was surprised to find as many available bar seats as I did--novelty wear off after only 10 days?... Restaurant was packed but the bar and lounge area were filled but not to capacity.
At. 8 or so in stroll people with baseball caps on, fresh off the bus from Whittier or National City. Guess there is no dress code which reinforces my opinion of downtown--there is an absence of an abundance of successful professionals in the 35-50 year range that is vital in maintaining the success and longevity of serious restaurants. Sure there is an attorney population downtown that works downtown during the day, but most live elsewhere. Sure hope this place can survive but time will tell--maybe the bail bond business is good these days and King Stahlman, etc will throw around their cash and support the downtown businesses at night. San Diego is a service town period.
re: El Chevere
The dreaded douche crowd.
re: Beach Chick
seriously, it did not take long for the Searsucker crowd to discover this place--you know...the wallet chain, Ed Hardy t-shirt crowd. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they're not on the Board of Directors at Qualcomm.
re: El Chevere
El C: IF i was to read your Yelp! review of Juniper & Ivy and look at your profile picture, I might think to myself - middle-aged Yelp! Eliter with a ball cap taking a selfie w/ a couple of wooooo girls at the gym = sorta D-ish, but that might seem kind of judgmental...I've seen plenty of the above described crowds at Cucina Urbana, PrepKitchen, Wine Steals, Mozza, Brooklyn Girl, etc., etc., etc. $5 spot says you have a pair of jeans with some kind of pocket embroidery ;)
Question (for anyone): What kind of diner do you think Malarkey is/was trying to appeal to with his restaurant group vs. what kind of diner do you think Blais is trying to appeal to with J&I?
re: Stiflers_Mom
"what kind of diner do you think Blais is trying to appeal to with J&I?
Aw, but it ain't me, babe.
no, no, no it ain't me babe.

re: Stiflers_Mom
Stiff--but that Yelp pic of me you referred to was taken in the gym by 944 Magazine--it was not a selfie nor was it taken at a nice restaurant (where I always dress appropriately, i.e. no baseball cap, flip flops or wallet chain at Cowboy Star, Dobsons, J&I, etc). Others can dress as schmucks in nice places, but I don't (OK, I wear a baseball cap at Tender Greens, Wahoos and The Neighborhood).
If you look at some of my other Yelp pics in my profile you will see me at nice restaurants and nice functions in a suit or appropriate attire such as collared shirt and no baseball cap....in a downtown (SD) that caters to a service economy, rather than being an epicenter for urban professionals, it is not surprising that I notice a demonstrable difference vs. other cities I frequent on a regular basis in terms of caliber of restaurants and class of people/income levels. (Now I do appreciate your reference to this 55 year old as a middle ager rather than as an old fart).
I just hope there is enough of a crowd that will appreciate and, more importantly, can support J&I--though based on last night, I now have some doubts. There's a popular high end gym that initially targeted urban professionals but quickly came to the realization there is not enough of such a market here in downtown and they have since adjusted their marketing strategy...Ty Hauer and his restaurant/bar group know the downtown San Diego market and do very well with Bubs, Double Deuce, and Blind Burro, among others--somehow, I do not think you will find him opening anything resembling Eleven Madison Park anytime soon.
re: El Chevere
But as long as these type of crowds don't pick up fights or are particular loud etc (which they are normally don't do) does it at this point for the SD dining scene really matter which "type" of customer will support such restaurants as long as such restaurants in the end somehow survive. (And yes, I would also prefer customers dressed differently but prefer even more restaurants who take risk to survive
re: honkman
I agree with you, Honky. It seems odd to complain about clientele unless a place is overly busy.
re: RB Hound
Why is it odd?...I was questioning the financial resources of the crowd last night (particularly vs, the ones I noticed just a week earlier) to sustain a place such as J&I....if the majority of the wallet chain crowd last night are really MD's, business owners, business execs, bankers, attorney's, CPA's, etc (which I highly doubt) that you find in other metropolitan cities that have the means to sustain good restaurants, not just casual ones--I will be the first to admit the errors of my ways. In many other cities a place like a J&I has a vibrant and larger 30-55YO professional/accomplished crowd from which to draw upon with the financial resources to support such establishments.
re: El Chevere
Quite a bit of the money in SD isn't your traditional white collar type.
A lot of it come from software, biotech, etc. that do not necessarily conform to more traditional forms of outerwear or appearance.
re: ipsedixit
I would be shocked if the people I saw yesterday, let alone significant portion, met that criteria last night and I would be shocked to learn that the average income in San Diego has suddenly surpassed other places with tech and software in places such as Silicon Valley, Orange County, NYC, SF, LA, Boston, Chicago, and elsewhere......yes, there are wealthy pockets in La Jolla, Del Mar, RSF, etc. but on average there is a noticeably smaller professional base in the downtown and surrounding areas (not including attorneys who work here during the day, with most living elsewhere and going home at night) and more of a service oriented crowd, which is the category I am willing to bet most of the crowd I saw last night fits in. Face it, downtown is a service economy.
Heck, I just spent a week in Miami which I never considered a sophisticated city, but the Brickell section (and Miami overall) is thriving with many high end restaurants and the local clientele with the means to support it (whether they earned their money here or brought it with them from abroad).
I hope I am wrong and hope J&I lasts here for many, many years. I hope the crowd fits the employment categories you outlined as well with the means to support a J&I and many more such places, but I have my doubts. Just witness the number of downtown restaurants that have closed recently(gone out of business) and/or have picked up and relocated elsewhere. Again, there is a reason why a Blind Burro will thrive in downtown and why you will not see an Eleven Madison Park. Income levels plays an integral part (and I'm not talking about retired 60-70+ year olds who are less likely to dine out as frequently as a thriving professional 35-55 year old crowd that you see in many other metropolitan cities, but not to as great an extent in downtown SD).
This is just my observation and opinion. but many people I speak with share similar sentiments (and I don't live in a bubble but do travel to many different places on a frequent basis as part of my job--tech/semiconductor--suit when calling on customers, no wallet chains or Ed Hardy/Affliction T-shirts in my casual wardrobe).
re: honkman
I hope they can pay and support a restaurant like a J&I...ordering 2-3 cocktails won't keep such an establishment alive and I hope I am wrong--but I have my doubts. My issue is not with a restaurant taking a risk--has more to do with the local population having the financial resources to support the establishment. In the case of J&I, it would seem they might be even more dependent upon local support, rather than being able to also tap into a convention crowd, given their location that is quite a bit removed.
re: Stiflers_Mom
$5 spot says your not a chick and your more Lake Murray than La Mesa proper.
re: Beach Chick
You are killing me here. LOL.
re: El Chevere
Do people still wear Ed Hardy and wallet chains in San Diego or is that just a really dated reference? That trend is several years old now; I know SD is usually slower with trends but even that was several years ago there.
re: DougOLis
What's wrong with it? Huh?
re: Fake Name
With Ed Hardy or the reference?
With Ed Hardy - everything
With the reference - it's dated, lazy and out of touch to current trends. Right up there with the "striped shirt army"

TIme for a Goodwill run….
re: Fake Name
Just visited recently. Nice trip, good time. Really nice space, very "cool" atmosphere. Food good but not blow you away. I felt a lot of things where a little flat, not much pop. They had meyer lemon in a lot of items but not enough to shine through. Oysters and beef heart perfect example of this, lemon dollops all over the plate but not enough to cut through all the ingredients… I think the shaved heart needs to be dressed in a lemon vin or something – similar to how George's dresses out their beef tongue. Tasty though, so give it a try. Abalone and bone marrow, delish but short on the lemon barbasol which on the little bit I had with it made it KILLER. Little things like this here and there kept the food from being "whoa baby!". Dessert was very, very good and I'm not much of a dessert person, chocolate yodel or something like that.
Service ok, not stellar but definitely trying to win you over. I noticed a few servers getting tripped up on the kitchen gimmicks… mistaking agar use for encapsulation, ect ect. Small gripes but you can tell they still have a little work to do in order to be sync'd with the kitchen. Overall good stuff though, I'd come back.
My partner and I went for dinner yesterday evening and the experience was mixed. The dining room was busy but not completely packed. The noise level is indeed very high and it seems they have done little in the way of sound dampening. It's a beautiful space, but while the noise is not deafening quiet conversation was impossible and the racket contributed to the harried feeling of the service.
Coachella dates - Enjoyed these, nice contrast between the sweetness of the dates, the bitter coffee powder, and the gaminess from the lamb bacon.
Beet and Mexican water chestnut salad - Refreshing and crisp but not a standout
Swordfish (my main) - Served with a romesco sauce, tiny purple potatoes, and roasted onions. Came out noticeably overcooked the first time, this was corrected promptly when I alerted our server.
Steak (her main) - Served with onion rings, roasted carrots, and something else I unfortunately did not note. Had a bite of the steak which was very flavorful.
Pine needle meringue - Served with citrus marshmallow sorbet and crumbles of pie crust. I don't usually focus much on dessert but this was my favorite dish of the evening. Intense citrus flavor from the sorbet, barely sweet, lightly foamed meringue and a hint of toastiness from the crust.
The service was rough around the edges. We were seated on time for our reservation and promptly offered water and drinks to begin. However, as the evening went on it became progressively harder to get our server's attention and I suspected that our table had somehow entered a bubble of invisibility. Dishes were paced well but ejected onto the table at arm's length and without comment as if the servers were actively trying to avoid any further interaction. Water wasn't offered again, nor did we have the opportunity to order another glass of wine, until I flagged the problem with the overcooked fish midway through the meal. Overall the service felt rushed and distracted-- perhaps the dining room was understaffed for the evening.
re: foodiechick
Oh god. Are they doing THAT? Like at Saltbox? No. no no no. I'm never going. I don't primp in front of strange men.
re: Dagney
The restroom arrangement at Stone Brewery Liberty Station is also very unusual in a discomforting way.
re: DoctorChow
TrueFood in Fashion Valley has a shared sink area as well. It is only uncomfortable the first time when you aren't sure if you somehow accidentally walked in the wrong bathroom.
re: MrKrispy
That was exactly what I thought the first time I went into the one at Stone!
re: foodiechick
Separate rooms (each behind a door) for toilet stalls but common sink area.
re: zare_k
Thank you for the clarification, that bit of info means I WILL give it a try.
Thanks to a visit from the inlaws, we got to celebrate my birthday (a couple of weeks early) as a night out at Juniper and Ivy, on Monday.
Though we had an early reservation, partly due to availability on Open Table and our own personal scheduling, it worked out as the din was almost unbearable by 8pm when we left. I'm not adverse to noise, but the layout really doesn't lend itself to any escape from the crowd. Therefore, conversation, for a two-top, was almost impossible by the time we left.
Almost everything was noteworthy. I didn't really find any of the dishes too small, as some others have remarked (not necessarily here) and the price-point was in line with expectations.
We started with cocktails. My wife's "Ivy" was very pretty, a little sweet, but very good. I went with the "Pena"cillin. Though the description sounded good, it was a little too much orange juice-y for a scotch based cocktail.
We selected several starters and a couple of "mains" (one entree and one pasta).
- Chicken Oysters: tasty, but basically high-end chicken nuggets
- Beef Tongue Pastrami: probably one of our favorites of the night. Beefy and melt-in-your-mouth. The Russian dressing was a little too much, but easily avoidable.
- Corvina Cioppino: nice, playful and well executed. Very tasty!
- Meatball: a meatball. Good, but I thought it was a little salty
- Rabbit Terrine: good, but nothing that blew us away. Again, well executed.
- Abolagna: Really liked this. That they took the time to mimic mortadella to the point of including pistachios was pretty standout to me. (forgot to take a picture)
We had a very nice, and well priced, Zin from Von Strasser with the end of the appetizers, leading into the entrees. I've been to this winery a few times now and was very surprised at the price point ($40, one of the cheaper bottles on the list).
Squid Ink Rigatoni: The "fishy-ness" of the pasta matched very well with the lamb ragu, but I thought this was a little too salty as well,
Swordfish: Simple, pan-fried swordfish with olives, capers and spinach. Second favorite to the beef tongue.
We talked to our server a little about our good luck with free babysitters and were rewarded with a complimentary dessert of the Pine Needle Meringue (complete with candle for my early birthday and eaten too quickly to remember the picture). Though a little daunting in appearance, the dessert was very light and refreshing! At this point, we were really stuffed, having already put half of the pasta in a to-go box. However, I had read a lot of positive reviews about the Yodel and, since my wife is a chocolate freak, we added on an extra dessert. This held up to what I read in others opinions and, even though a little excessive, we made it through.
Our bill came with little sugar cookies for a finale.
I found the service very good at the start, but waned as the dining room filled and filled. The pacing was a little brisk, but we ordered in "waves" to take control and had no complaints from our server. I'd definitely go back, but would take advantage of the the small outside patio to avoid the noise and action inside.
My wife and I have been twice. The first time was a few weeks after opening. We had a reservation but were seated in the bar instead of the dining room. I really had problems with that. It looked like the floor just doesn't have 2-tops. We were neglected by the server as it got busier and other guests started hovering around the bar tables as it got busier. The food was inconsistent with some really low lows (oysters and pearls, chicken oysters), extremely high highs (coconut panna cotta and jasmine rice sorbet), and very weird weirds (octopus and pork belly terrine, ricotta and blackened grapes toast).
The second visit was like being in a different restaurant. We requested the chef's counter in front of Chef Blais. The difference in service from sitting in the bar was like night and day. I guess it's hard to be ignored when you're basically sitting at the pass. Chef Blais was extremely friendly and we enjoyed a brief chat with him. A true professional who really seems to be enjoying his time in our city.
Our menu selections were much better the second visit. The carne asada crudo and the squid ink rigatoni were delicious. We got the off-menu In & Haute burger, which was a huge mess in a good way, but nothing like a Double-Double. The kitchen gifted us an order of chicken oysters, and for the second time in two visits, we were really disappointed in them. Mealy, soggy breading and not served piping hot as you'd want from a deep fried bite.
I left with a much more favorable impression compared to the first visit. Huge step in the right direction. We'll definitely be back when they start doing the 4x4 tasting menu.
DH and I went last week, and had a very enjoyable dinner. We did snacks/raw/small plates:
Meatball -- tasty
Shishito peppers -- good, but the dressing didn't add a lot
Salmon crudo with kimchi -- would not give it points for looks, but was really good.
Chicken liver toast -- Berries and small greens gave this a good balance
Shaved asparagus salad -- OK, seemed very "raw".
Carlsbed mussels -- the best mussels I have had in a long time. Really nicely done.
Abalone mortadella -- not sure I could really pick out the abalone, but I liked it.
Carne crudo asada toast -- really good, nice plating with the eggs.
For dessert we had the Yodel. It was the only dish I would consider a disappointment. And (surprisingly) the only dish I thought was heavy on the salt... It seems that often the small plate experience is a salt heavy experience... to me, all the savory plates were seasoned just right.
The service was good, the pacing of the plates was about right, there were never more than two things on the table at a time, and they changed our plates out as they got messy. The noise level was OK... it was loud enough to drown out landing planes, but you could still hear each other talk.
Nice wine list, with lots of interesting wines, and many available by the glass... the glass price was 1/4 the bottle price, which seems fair.
We will go back....
Tried it yesterday for the first time and it is really a nice addition to SD - creative, well executed dishes who use some interesting flavor combination. Good cocktail list, nice service (but it is necessary to order in several rounds to have relaxed dinner). We didn't think it was really loud but what you would expect from a trendy place. Will definitelybe on our regular rotation and we will also try to set up some tasting menus in the future - Now we need a few more placed like this, Georges, Cafe Chloe and Blue Ribbon and SD starts to become a real food city

Sparks City Attorney Chet Adams warns Sparks residents about a recent mail campaign offering to hire members of the public as "Secret Shoppers."
The offers are being sent from Canada by a purported New York company and contain checks in the amount of $3,900.25. The mail recipient is asked to deposit the check, keep $1,300 for shopping and training and send a money gram for the remaining $2,600.25 back to New York.
"In these troubled economic times, the offer of free money to go shopping is very attractive," said Sparks City Attorney Chet Adams. "After depositing the check into your checking account, you are supposed to send a money gram for $2,600.25 back to the New York company. The New York company can simply stop payment on the check they sent you. Unfortunately, you end up losing $2,600.25 cash," Adams said.
Sparks City Attorney Chet Adams advises that anyone receiving an unexpected check in the mail purporting to hire you as a "Secret Shopper" should destroy the check immediately. Do not deposit the check or contact the New York company.

Norsk Hydro ASA and Agder Energi Sign LoI to Establish Jointly Owned Company to Develop Otra Assets; Norsk Hydro Signs Extension of Project Management Agreement with Agder Energi
Norsk Hydro ASA (Hydro) announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Agder Energi for the possible establishment of a jointly owned company to operate and further develop their combined assets in the Otra River, southern Norway, where Hydro recently acquired the Vigelands Brug hydropower plant. The LoI is conditional on a proposed adjustment of the Industrial Concession Act to enable private entities the possibility to organize an ownership share in a company with liability (ANS/DA). This will enable private entities to take out profit in the form of power rather than restricting it to financial remuneration, which is important to Hydro as a fully integrated aluminum company active throughout the value chain from bauxite to finished products. Should it materialize, Hydro would own less than one-third of the envisaged jointly owned company (DA), which would satisfy the legal requirements regarding public control and be comparable to Hydro owning one-third in a private limited company. In addition, Hydro and Agder have signed an agreement regarding project management support. Hydro's Projects unit has provided project management resources and systems to Agder Energi since summer of 2012 to execute the Iveland 2 project. This cooperation has now been extended through a Collaboration Agreement to cover all of Agder Energi's major hydropower projects, lasting for several years.

text: Obama to Reach Around Congress for Climate Legacy? by Dan Riehl 8 Nov 2013 post a comment Share This: The Hill posits that, with more of Obama's agenda either hamstrung, or dead because of Congressional in-fighting, the EPA's ability to skirt the legislative process trhough rule-making may provide him his best shot for a long-term legacy. ... there's one thing that's going right for Obama: Executive action on climate change is moving full-speed ahead at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "He may be able to do more through climate change [rules] because the EPA has the authority," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told The Hill on Thursday. Of course, that will also have a negative impact on economic growth; however, whatever it is that actually constitutes Obama's grand idea of 'change,' economic prosperity for America and Americans has never appeared to play much of a roll. The most far-reaching piece of Obama's climate plan is carbon emission standards for the nation's fleet of existing power plants, by far the largest single source of industrial carbon emissions. The EPA is also writing standards for new plants.

As many as 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea.
It causes them to repeatedly stop breathing during sleep, leading to daytime fatigue, an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure.
Now, help is on the way.
Every night for five years, Kathy Gaberson donned a facemask - connected to hoses and compressed air. This continuous positive airway pressure machine, or c-pap, was the best treatment available for Kathy's sleep apnea, which had been steadily wrecking her health.
Kathy says, "I was driving my car locally. And stopped at a stop sign and fell asleep at the stop sign."
Doctor Ryan Soose, Director of Pittsburgh Medical Center Division of Sleep Surgery, is studying a new implantable device, the Inspire upper airway stimulation therapy.
Dr. Soose says, "The device itself is a pacemaker-like device that is placed just under the skin of the right upper chest."
The Inspire is connected to an electrode that stimulates the nerve of the tongue, preventing the narrowing of the throat.
Dr. Soose says, "The patient has a remote control to turn it on and off when they want to use it."
Kathy felt a slight tingling in her throat when the device turned on, but said the feeling did not keep her from getting great sleep for the first time in years.
Kathy says, "I woke up in the morning refreshed. Much, just feeling so much better."
Two-thirds of the patients using the upper airway stimulation device had control of their sleep apnea, according to a new study from the New England Journal of Medicine.
This caused for less daytime sleepiness, improvements in snoring, and better quality of life.
The batteries can last about five-to-ten years, and there is a simple procedure to replace them when they do run out.
BACKGROUND: Over 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep. Each pause in breathing, called an apnea, can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, and may occur 5 to 30 times or more an hour. When this happens it means that the brain and the rest of the body may not get enough oxygen. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or "sleep study." If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, heart attacks, diabetes, and depression. (Source: http://www.webmd.com)
CAUSES: Sleep apnea can be caused by excess weight, neck circumference, and some other causes include:
* A narrowed airway
* Being male
* Being older
* Family history
* And race in people under 35 years old, blacks are more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea.
Standard treatments can include weight loss, upper airway surgeries, oral appliances, and continuous airway pressure (Source: www.mayoclinic.com)
NEW TECHNOLOGY: The Inspire upper airway stimulation therapy is kind of like a pacemaker. It's placed under the skin in the right upper chest. There's a sensor that monitors the patients breathing. It's connected to an electrode that stimulates the nerve in the tongue which prevents the narrowing of the throat. It delivers stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve timed to each breathing cycle. Some patients may feel a slight tingling in the throat. The device is permanent. After one year, patients had a 70 percent reduction in sleep apnea and significant reductions in daytime sleepiness.

My wife and I debated getting a deep freezer for a solid two years. She wanted one because our freezer was always full, ice blocks of meat spilling out when you opened the door. She also wanted one because she figured buying in bulk and freezing a select few items would be convenient and save money. I didn't want one because of mere simplicity. Guess who won?

The Kitchen of the Future? 5 Smart Student Designs from the Electrolux Design Lab
I have a soft spot for futuristic, pie-in-the-sky designs for kitchen tools and gadgets. The appliances we use every day really don't change much from year to year; they get sleeker knobs and fresh colors, but I am impatient for innovations that reimagine how cooking could look. One of the most interesting places to see new ideas is Electrolux's Design Lab, an annual competition that invites design students to share their ideas for new home innovations. Here are five kitchen designs I especially like this year...
From Kenmore Elite to Miele: Our Readers Review Their Kitchen Appliances!
Reader Intelligence Report
Shopping for kitchen appliances is tough. There's only so much you can learn about a particular model from the manufacturer, so I find making a decision often comes down to the product reviews I'm able to gather from friends and online sources.
In hopes of making this process just a little easier for those of you researching new kitchen appliances, we asked Kitchn readers to share their favorite kitchen appliance brands. The responses we got may be a small sampling, but surely a good place to start if you're looking to buy a new refrigerator, dishwasher, range, or cooktop. Here's what our readers had to say:

I was pleasantly suprised on my arival,after reading some reviews I was a little worried. The host was pleasant , helpful and the B&B was cosy. I'd read a few horror reports and I just can't understand some people.

Wonderful! We have stayed in a lot of hotels/B and B's in Europe and this was the best of all!! The staff was wonderful! No question was too big or small.

The breakfast was great, also the best we've had offered anywhere. - Lacy
The owner was very friendly and helpful. It was extremely clean, the room and the kitchen were well equipped.
