I spent Saturday night in San Diego because it was too late and I was too tired to drive home to Orange County. After the Sip, Savor, Stroll + Chocolate fund raiser at Visions Art Museum some of us went to Solare (at the other end of the block) for dinner. I hadn't been there for quite a while and the management has changed. The menu isn't terribly different, just different enough to make it hard to decide.
I rarely eat pizza because it is so salty, but decided to try the Gorgonzola/pear pizza, one of my favorites at California Pizza Kitchen. This was larger than I expected and I had to have a doggy box. I put it in my little cooler to bring it home and ended up have another dinner and a breakfast from the same pizza. It was good, but not as good as CPK!
Another diner ordered the veggie pizza and we exchanged bites. Next time I order pizza I'll have the veggie.
Beth and I shared a dessert - wish I could remember the name, but it is Italian and I can't pronounce it anyway. It is layers of pastry with marscapone and whipped cream and berries. Delicious, but difficult to eat because the layers just crumble when I cut into them. I would, however, do it again!
The diner on my right ordered gelato which came with a little pitcher of sauce. I had never met the guy before so I decided not to be gauche and ask for a bite. Sure looked good though.
I have eaten twice at the newest restaurant in the Liberty Station complex - The Fig Tree Cafe is near our favorite sushi place, Ikiru, and has only been open about four weeks. They seem to specialize in breakfast dishes and offer a nice variety. For breakfast on Sunday I had the stuffed French Toast which was heavenly - only too much for me to eat. It would be about right if shared with someone. For lunch on Tuesday the roasted turkey with avocado, tomato, etc. I was very hungry because I hadn't eaten breakfast, so I devoured every bite. Next time I eat at the Fig Tree Cafe I will take some photos.
