Editorial Review of KITCHEN 1540

Modern and comfortable, KITCHEN 1540 blends energy and intrigue with a fresh, simple atmosphere. The restaurant offers a seasonally-driven menu in a chic and sophisticated setting at L’Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa. Chef Paul McCabe has been recognized as one of Southern California’s best chefs and introduces a new farm-to-plate culinary concept to San Diego. Farm-to-plate food means that your meal will be coming from a local, sustainable food source. Not only does this mean your food will be at the pinnacle of freshness, local and sustainable foods will take it easy on your waistline and these gourmet entrees will also be a bit easier on your wallet. Chef McCabe utilizes the freshest seasonal produce, sustainable seafood and hormone-free meats, and believes that “every dish is distinctive and surprising,” such as the Whole Roasted Branzino Bass that made an appearance on the Winter 2008 menu. The elegant design of KITCHEN 1540 was innovated by renowned New York architect Andre Kikoski and offers guests a contemporary take on a classic coastal cool; with white vaulted ceilings; an open presentation kitchen; a private dining room wrapped in wine-encased glass walls; and an outside dining and lounge area. The al fresco experience offers private cabanas for intimate dining, a water wall, a fire pit to gather your group and hanging lanterns to set just the right mood. KITCHEN 1540 serves gourmet, expertly plated food around the clock with separate menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Added 04/20/11 Coming back, soon.

Ate here and was lucky enough to get a seat on the outdoor patio. 1540 must be this kitchen score on a scale of 1-10. To top it off, the red velvet cake we had for desert sent our tastebuds into overdrive. Everything was absolutely delicious.

Added 01/16/09 Outstanding experience!

We dined early the second day of "Restaurant Week". Having arrived a little too early, we went to the bar for a cocktail. What a beautiful setting and a very charming bar tender. (Daniella?) For dining we were seated near the fireplace. My wife was facing the open kitchen and felt the scurrying of help was somewhat distracting. The offerings on the fixed price menu were all so interesting that making a choice was difficult and we chose outstanding courses. My wife was astonished at the large size and excellent presentation of her prawns. My entree course, a filet was perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Our server, Holly, was outstanding, as were the attentive bus men. Desert offerings were so-so.
