Are you a father? A daddy? Cat dad? Zaddy? Pedro Pascal? No matter what version of father figure you have, want to celebrate, or happen to be, we have the perfect setting for your paternal party. Join us on Father’s Day for a plethora of steak-leaning indulgences.

Book reservations for multiple options of your Father’s Day celebration. We’ll be serving a special prix-fixe menu with myriad options of carnivorous delights, including Maine Lobster, Duck Terrine, Hamachi Crudo, and, of course, Wagyu. Oh, wait… did we mention truffles? They make an appearance.

Make the man in your life feel special with additional “Dadd-ons”, ranging from cocktail to wine pairings and, yes, an entire tin of caviar for bumping all night long.

Have a no-frills Dad? Join us at the bar as a walk-in for a stool-seated a la carte version of the prix-fixed offerings.

Link in bio to make reservations for your own Daddy Warbucks.

Music has always loomed large in our world. We've always believed it can be one of the strongest sensory indicators of what a restaurant or bar is about, and has generally informed the identity of every project we've taken on. Listening to a thoughtfully curated set of songs by someone with a deep understanding and knowledge of music can be one of life's great joys, and it's in that spirit we want to give a profound thank you to the legendary for curating our latest playlist, we're not ones to pander, but we think it's pretty exceptional. Thank you for the kindness and for being a real one.

Today’s announcement is one of the favorites we’ve made in a long while. The passion one. The giddy one. ⁠
⁠
SDM and CH Projects have started a book club. Because we love the almighty profanity out of books, and no one ever died thinking, "I should've read less." ⁠
⁠
We’re partnering with some of San Diego’s great independent bookstores, hoping our literary scheme will drive you into their lovely arms. Indie bookstores are the marrow in a city’s bones. Sentence churches. Long thoughts from thinkers. Ray Bradbury’s in there. Toni Morrison, too. Vonnegut, Didion, some unfamous person who wrote like a hurricane for one book and then vanished, great voices the world hasn’t yet discovered. ⁠
⁠
In a modern age where we do what the bloop and bleep tells us, books are Airbnbs for your brain. ⁠
⁠
We are not above bribery to do our part in this book revolution. If you join our club, and show proof that you bought it from a participating local, indie bookstore—each month we’ll randomly select one member to get a $300 gift card to any of the  locations (Craft & Commerce, Seneca, Born & Raised, Ironside, Neighborhood, etc.). ⁠
⁠
Keep your eyes on the next issue of San Diego Mag (September) for the first book. A book that altered us in weird and great ways. ⁠
⁠
In coming months, we’ll beautify your feed with bookstore glamour shots. But for now, here are the bookstores that we’ve partnered with: ⁠
⁠
📍The Book Catapult 📸 ⁠
📍Verbatim Books .books 📸 ⁠
📍Warwick’s 📸 ⁠
📍La Playa Books 
📍Diesel Books 
📍Bay Books Coronado 
⁠
Email [email protected] to join the club and get the full list of participating stores. And if you own a bookstore and would like to join us, reach out.
