Glass Door

The Glass Door restaurant has found a new inspiration with recently appointed Executive Chef Brent Calley. A combination of his exquisite culinary skill, creative genius and local California vibe offer the Little Italy restaurant a certain ‘je nais se quoi’, usually found in some of the finest independent establishments only the locals know. Formerly serving as the Chef de Cuisine at the Se San Diego Hotel, Calley offers an array of experience in modern hospitality, and has inspired several other restaurant menus locally with his talent in the culinary arts. The Glass Door is proud to offer new menu selections by the new executive chef, who carefully designed each dish to blend the Mediterranean coast with a taste of California. The use of fresh local ingredients have added a special touch to the newest fall menus with a local feel and are sure to satisfy the taste buds of any palate.

The dinner selections are inspired by the culinary capitals of Europe – France, Spain, Northern Italy and countries along the Mediterranean – with a distinct California style. Ingredients are sourced from the Little Italy Mercato, other local farmers markets and specialty shops around Little Italy. The new dinner menu includes flavor rich items such as: Bacon Wrapped Lamb Loin with Lentils, Turnips, Rutabagas, Spinach and Tomatoes; Crab Stuffed Scallops with Saffron Basmati Rice, and Sautéed Escaroles; Seared Sea Bass with Braised Artichoke Relish, Bacon Butter and Sautéed Rapini; and Charred Tomato Vinaigrette and a Vegetarian Cassolette with Flageolet Beans, Cannellini Beans and Cranberry Beans.

The Glass Door offers a daily breakfast, happy hour and dinner, with an ever popular brunch on weekends (Fri-Sun). And for those who would like to take advantage of the Glass Door’s private luncheon events, special occasions, or other catered functions, Chef Calley will enliven any of the current menus to further enhance the personal experience.
