Stingaree Introduces Sustainable Menu

If you don’t already love dining at The Restaurant at Stingaree for its upbeat energy and sexy ultra lounge atmosphere, you’re about to get a lesson in exotic romance from Executive Chef Antonio Friscia. 

Stingaree recently launched a new culinary concept featuring a completely revamped menu which focuses on global cuisine made from local, sustainable and fair-trade produce and ingredients. Going green on a whole new level, Stringaree also makes a commitment to support San Diego farms and ranches with unique compost programs.

Although Chef Friscia is passionate about local sustainability, his global menu transports patrons on a culinary journey around the world, drawing upon distinctive Latin, Mediterranean, European, Pacific Rim and Regional American influences and flavors. The family-style menu makes for a fun and interactive dining experience (always recommended for birthday dinners!) and dishes range from $5 - $21.

A few must-try items include the Caramelized Guerrero Negro Sea Scallops with sekai-ichi apple stonefruit salad and sherry vinaigrette; Happy Tummy Pork Spareribs with hoison-honey sauce; Grilled Spiced Yogurt Marinated Wild Jumbo Mexican Shrimp with tamarind chili sauce; Crab Risotto with Alaskan king crab, organic vialone nano risotto, and sweet summer corn; New England Saikou Salmon – wild king salmon with vegetable stew and dashi-miso brood; and Crispy Skin Sonoma Duck Breast – cold smoked duck breast with market melon brunoise, red and white organic quinoa salad, and whiskey cherry sauce. And please make sure to save room for dessert – the O.G. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is an entrée all its own, served with crème fraiche ice cream and caramel sauce. 

The Restaurant at Stingaree’s signature lounge menu and happy hour offers still remain the same. Happy hour is offered Tuesday and Wednesday 5 – 8pm, Thursday all night, and Friday 5 – 7pm, featuring $5 wells and drafts, half-off wines by the glass, half-off signature cocktails, half-off lounge menu and more.
