Editorial Review of Searsucker

Inside Searsucker, a modern and industrial edge is softened by an overflow of comfy couches, Oriental rugs, textured animal patterns, and understated graphics that simply read “EAT” in black and white. There are no secrets at Searsucker – the open kitchen invites patrons to be a part of the culinary experience from start to finish while smelling every flavor along the way.

The straight-forward menu of new American classic cuisine is divided into seven sections: Bites, Smalls, Greens, Ocean, Ranch, Farm and “And…”. Start with such simple and tasty Bites as the Pretzel with ham and honey; Fennel Ribs; and Duck Fat Garlic Fries. The Small items may be petite in portion but are certainly strong in flavor. Chef Malarkey has a strong affinity for seafood and is known for adding a vibrant flair to our favorite items from the sea … the San Diego sea to be exact.. If you want to remain on land, check out the Ranch portion of the menu that boasts such stand-out dishes as Loin Filet Mignon with lobster butter; or Ribeye Tomahawk with cognac and horseradish. Searsucker is also open for a chalkboard-menu lunch and Sunday brunch.

Added 10/07/11 Best food EVER

This place is fabulous! The environment is very cool. When I first looked over the menu, I was a little concerned because everything sounded so weird. I was a little skeptical that some of those things could be tasty. I was more than pleasantly surprised when we got our food though. Everything was absolutely delicious, and that is an understatement. We had the bulls balls, crab cake, and bone marrow for appetizers. All were amazing! Then for entrees, we all shared the duck, tongue & cheek, and the pork butt. I have to say the Tongue & Cheek meal was probably the best one, surprisingly!! It just melts in your mouth! The pork butt was right behing it. I've never had meat so tender in my life! This was by far the best meal I've ever had in my life!!

Added 04/19/11 Wow!

I was blown away during my first visit to Searsucker in the Gaslamp. I had the duck fat fries, which were not only good but great. The girlie was impressed with the wine list, everybody wins!

Added 04/01/11 Fine Dining meets comfortable ambiance

I have been frequenting Searsucker since it's opening, and I must say it has maintained it's "cool factor" quite impressively. A perfect place for a group dinner (we usually order a bunch of their "small plates" and share) before a night out in the Gaslamp. Small plates I'm obsessed with: the Shishito Shoos, Brie- Blackberry- Rosemary, Mushrooms- truffles- burrata (my absolute favorite!!!), Octopus- Saffron aioli- cress salad, and the Crab cake "carb-free" The drinks at Searsucker are amazing,, and seasonal creative as well. whether you're looking for an after-work cocktail, a nice date, or a place to meet for drinks before a night out, Searsucker has amazing drinks and eats with an upscale, yet relaxed environment.

Added 11/24/10 Searsucker, San Diego's new hotspot

Searsucker is one of San Diego's new hotspots! The ambiance is comfortable yet upscale, and the food and customer service are excellent! The food is a little pricey but definitely worth it! Searsucker is worth checking out!

Added 11/23/10 Searsucker

Upon entering the restaurant, I was instantly intrigued by the decor. The space was casual and comfortable, while maintaining a sense of upscale glamor. We were immediately seated and attended to by our host and waitress. Upon the four of us, we decided on three main course dishes: the scallops, the duck, and the flatiron steak. I was at first take aback by the prices, but after tasting the dishes, I'm glad to say they were well worth the price. Each dish was beautifully presented and executed perfectly. The portions were quite descent too. The four of us were completely satisfied upon completing the meal.

Added 11/22/10 What a great new bite downtown

Boy after coming here for the first time, I must say I'm positively hooked on their halibut. Wow, the way it was crusted and cooked to perfection was a mouth-watering experience. And I'm quackin like a mallard after those unbelievably delicious duck fat fries! I mean, I wouldn't recommend them for breakfast every morning, though they are just absolutely decadent and loaded with flavor! The hell with the McRib, get your butt to Searsucker already!

Added 11/22/10 Great dinner spot

Had the pleasure of going to Searsucker for a friend's birthday last week. The food was great and the meal managed to fill me up, which is no easy task. The service was surprisingly good considering how busy it was...Searsucker may end up becoming my new "go-to" date spot.
