The benefits of being a Californian are endless and invariably rewarding. From the coastal breeze to the bountiful wilderness hikes that abound around every corner, there’s something significantly unique about living in the Golden State. But let’s not forget to acknowledge the thing that holds us all together and keeps us coming back for more…quality fresh, hearty California cuisine.

Suite & Tender is long known to dish out culinary flawlessness for the San Diego community within the Se San Diego Hotel. This past spring, however, Chef Anthony Calamari took the exquisiteness to a whole new level when he became the Executive Chef of Suite & Tender. Chef Calamari brings to Suite & Tender his past work in top restaurants, including Cielo Restaurant at Ventana Inn. His skillful preparation and artsy presentation make for some one-of-a-kind flavor matched with aesthetically appealing looks. Most recently, Chef Calamari gave the menu an American Bistro makeover to reflect his experiences in the French and California cuisine sector.

Now just in time for fall, Suite & Tender introduces a new spread of American Bistro menu items by Chef Calamari. The best part of the newly reawakened menu is that you don’t need to be a million-dollar mogul to take a bite of the fine cuisine. The dishes all price under $25 – affordable for anyone looking to indulge in the best of American Bistro cuisine, rich with freshness and succulence.

The innovative menu divides the meal by the Beginning, the Continuation, and the Final Presentation. At the top of the offerings is the new Duck “Hash” with a Soft Poached Egg, delicious Baby Arugula and Orange-Maple Vinaigrette; and Chardonnay Braised Artichoke Hearts with Roasted Tri-Color Peppers and Lemon Pepper Aioli. In the entrees offerings, you’ll find some tender Spiced Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs; Pave New York Au Poivre with Blue Cheese Potato Gratin; and Herbed Pappardelle Pasta with a Roasted Mushroom Medley, Arugula, Pecorino Cheese and Cracked Black Pepper.
