Currant American Brasserie

This is a block or so away from the San Diego Superior Courthouse so if you have jury duty, this may be an option for lunch. I was immediately helped by three helpful, handsome men including a friendly, attentive Brazillian named Luis. I tried the French Onion Soup and coffee. I liked it although I wish they had a choice of another soup. I was so full, I didn't get to try the wings or brussel sprouts this time! I was a fan of the atmosphere but not so much the music. I'd like to try the absinthe some evening. It sounds like fun!

This is right by our hotel and the reviews looked good. When we went for breakfast, I was shocked. We were the only people there and it was not too early or late. Waiter was nice enough, but I was worried because there wasn't anyone there. Food was good. Not exceptional, but good and prices as you would expect for a Hotel restaurant. We decided we weren't going back for those prices and we'd find somewhere else to go.

A small well crafted menu. I ordered the grilled wild Salmon, with Spinach mashed potatoes and asparagus. I can't say the spinach added much to the potatoes other than making them green. The fish was cooked to perfection and very tender. With just a hint of lemon. The prices are rather high and the wait time was long but the quality justified the wait. It's difficult to put out this quality of food fast.
