Best Restaurants in San Diego
"No dish says more about Nine-Ten Restaurant than its Jamaican jerk pork belly appetizer. This centerpiece pays homage to Executive Chef Jason Knibb’s Jamaican heritage, albeit in elevated form, and the pairing with baby carrots, swiss chard, plantains, and black-eyed peas with sweet potato purée gives it a California feel. It’s a variation on a theme repeated throughout the menu: flavor combinations that make sense, offered in surprising and refined ways."
"Located in the Grande Colonial Hotel on (910) Prospect Street, NINE-TEN is definitely one of the best restaurants in La Jolla for a menu determined by what is in season while still keeping some guest favorites on the menu. It’s perfect for a night out, whether it’s a celebration or just date night. The veteran Executive Chef, Jason Knibb, has been at the helm for the past decade and trained under highly-respected names like Wolfgang Puck."
"Then 9 out of ten chances are you are going to love the Nine-Ten restaurant. To start off, their wine list is one of their best features, and if on a budget, you can visit on Wednesdays when they have half price on selected bottles. Run by Jason Knibb who has worked in the restaurant industry in many countries, the restaurant will deliver the best three and four-course meals in La Jolla."
