A Rose Among Thorns (Roseville)

8 May 2009

San Diego (Point Loma),

1125 Rosecrans Street (google maps)

Report value: $$$ (mid price)

Report style: Classic

When you think of Point Loma, you think laid back, casual, nautical, and retro San Diego, but very few would think of this neighborhood as a culinary destination. Aside from family favorites including Old Venice and Point Loma Seafoods, there are newly arrived stars such as The Pearl and Roseville.

My visit to Roseville followed numerous recommendations from friends and fellow StyleXplorers, I was not disappointed! You enter this unassuming restaurant from a rear parking area, the frontage along Rosecrans is limited to outdoor seating. I felt as if I had stepped back in time, in a way to a luxurious yet casual bistro circa 1978. One would be in style arriving in a 1978 Cadillac Seville or a Magnum PI style Ferrari 328.

Location +++ Point Loma is a bit out of the way but well worth the trip

Ambience ++++ Classic and elegantly cool, vibrant colors, elegant fixtures, comfy booths

Cuisine +++++ Chef Amy DiBiase is a master of combining simplicity and comfort

Cocktails ++++ Full bar and excellent wine list

Service +++++ Five stars for attentive, caring, and knowledgeable staff, George Riffle is the perfect host
