Editorial Review of
Suite and Tender
The new restaurant at the Palomar Hotel is Saltbox
__
Suite and Tender is the upscale dining destination within downtown’s ultra luxury hotel, Se San Diego, designed by renowned interior designer Dodd Mitchell, known for creating the concepts for The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Cabo Azul in Mexico, and more. Suite and Tender’s interiors incorporate Mitchell’s signature style: pulling design elements from mother nature, using all natural materials, intertwined with a downtown edge befitting the Gaslamp Quarter.
This chic hotel restaurant is a sophisticated take on the traditional steakhouse, featuring the gourmet New American cuisine of Se San Diego’s Executive Chef Anthony Calamari. The chef crafted the menu based on San Diego’s appreciation of healthy living, organic produce and the freshest local seafood. Suite and Tender’s cuisine and menu move away from restrictive restaurant standards and rules, creating a personal journey for the guests.
The menu is divided between “Ocean,” “Land” and “Suite & Tender,” which is a more unique version of the classic surf and turf. Signature menu items include a “Create your Own Raw Bar” with choices of oysters, shrimp, king crab, lobster tail, stone crab and clams, all individually priced per piece; Wagyu Beef Sliders, Duck Confit Gratin, Alaskan King Crab & Veal Tenderloin and classic steak choices including Japanese Kobe Beef.
