"Fine cuisine, like great music, is created by subtle inspirations."

This is Bradley Ogden's philosophy as consulting chef at Anthology, San Diego's leading supper club for fine dining and live music. Less than a year old, Anthology is a multi-level restaurant and music club that offers patrons both a comfortable and sophisticated cultural experience in the south end of San Diego's own Little Italy.

Anthology offers formal and informal dining areas, an indoor/outdoor lounge, a top floor lounge with an 18-foot fireplace, a private VIP dining room, and two separate kitchens. The supper club environment provides the perfect combination of food and music, blending "New American Cuisine" prepared with fresh, locally grown ingredients with some of the industry's top notch performers in the areas of Jazz, Blues, Classic Rock, R&B, and Latin rhythms.

For a relaxing night on the town, check out Anthology's entrée selections that include Salmon, Jambalaya, Braised Pork, and Rack of Lamb. Entrees range in price from $11-39. While dining, enjoy the restaurant's use of concrete, wood, and glass to create modern, California coast-inspired décor. After your meal, stay for the impressive roster of such legendary and iconic performers as Lee Ritenour, Richard Marx, Leon Redbone, Melissa Manchester, and Janis Joplin's original band, Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Since Anthology can seat up to 300 guests, reservations are strongly recommended, although walk-ins are welcome.

Insider Tip: Check out Anthology's new late-night vibe every Wednesday with Veev Acai Spirit drink specials and high-energy live performances.
