Travelers staying in the downtown San Diego Sophia Hotel are in for an excellent experience in hospitality. Combining its historic site with modern motifs, the Sophia Hotel blends comfort with class to create a relaxing stay for all guests.
Like a dear friend, The Sophia feeds its guests extraordinary meals through at the on-site Currant American Brasserie. The perfect balance between delicate and bold, Currant American Brasserie effortlessly combines dainty features, such as chandeliers and pale pink walls, with audacious statements, like checkered tile and heavy oak furniture. It is this rare balance that gives way to an edgy, modern vibe while remaining refined and cozy.
The elusive Chef of the Currant American Brasserie plays with his food in a culinarily-complicated way. With appetizers like Cilantro Pesto Grilled Prawns with green tea soba noodles, coconut slaw and cashew curry satay or Burrata with heirloom tomato tart, Spanish sherry gastrique and micro basils, it is clear The Chef embodies the same perfect balance of the restaurant ambiance within his edible concepts. Local favorites include Ahi Tuna "Hot Pie," Striped Bass with chorizo stuffed squash blossoms, and Chicken and Waffles. Of course, this is truffle fried chicken with corn and scallion waffles.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, Currant American Brasserie offers artisanal cheeses or freshly made pastries. Tempting treats include Chocolate Treasure Bags made from Irish brown bread ice cream and hard whiskey sauce, Warm Butterscotch Souffle and Peanut Butter and Jellie. Of course, this is peanut butter fudge, jellie candies and a grape ice cream float.
As whimsical as the menu, the cocktail list is sure to excite the experimenters. A Cool Cucumber, Holy Water and Bubble Gum Martini are a few ways to wet your whistle. The bar also offers a few drinks made with Absinthe, including the curious Hemingway's Death or Van Gogh Cocktail.
Always a unique experience, Currant American Brasserie within The Sofia Hotel is the perfect spot for dinner and drinks.
