The vibe

The North County outpost of Brad Wise's steakhouse concept, situated on Solana Beach's hip Cedros Design District. The same quality wagyu-forward menu and serious cocktail program as the original, delivered in a more relaxed coastal setting — a destination bar for the North County dining scene.
