Floor-to-ceiling windows give way to views of the Pacific, while the menu features innovative seasonal creations and, of course, fresh, wild-caught seafood of all kinds.
Chef
At the helm of this iconic, time-honored restaurant sits Executive Chef Mike Minor, whoās brought about a culinary renaissance in the La Jolla Shores neighborhood with inventive dishes like his Creekstone Farms dry-aged prime New York steak with an Oaxacan spice demi-glace and Tuna Tartare Conesāa starter of raw yellowtail tuna with serrano-soy glaze thatās served in mini gold foil-wrapped wafer cones and finished with beluga caviar.
This month, guests can get a taste of Minorās talents, along with other renowned local chefs. Join us at The Marine Roomās A Conscious Catch fundraiser on June 13 from 6-9 p.m. This sustainable dinner will feature creations from The Marine Roomās Chef Minor and Chef de Cuisine Alex Pailles as well as Bravo TV āTop Chef Mastersā alumn Rick Moonen, owner and Chef Travis Swikard of Callie, Executive Chef Carlos Anthony of Herb & Wood and Matsu owner and chef William Eick.
Menu
The menu will feature locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, thoughtfully selected to support our local seafood purveyors. Ultimately our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint. Each course will be paired with a wine from Grgich Hills Estate, a pioneer in regenerative organic agriculture.
Guests will kick off the evening with a welcome cocktail crafted by Beeside Balconyās mixologist, Naomi Lackey. As they sip, a selection of passed appetizers from Chef Minor and Chef Pailles will set the stage. Chef Eick will open the savory courses with scallops, paired with artichoke and taberu rayu, a Japanese-style chili oil. Next, Chef Swikard will serve up a stunning second course featuring ora king salmon, followed by Chef Anthonyās grilled sea bass. For the grand finale, Puffer-Malarkey Collective Executive Pastry Chef Laura Warren will present a decadent chocolate cremeux. Her creation includes sesame, fish sauce foam, chocolate crumble, and furikake cashews for an unexpected yet delightful finish.
A Conscious Catch will do more than please the palates of everyone in attendance. This sustainable dinner will also directly benefit the Walter Munk Foundation For the Oceans.Ā
