Urban Solace, 3823 30th St, San Diego, CA (North Park), Souther/Comfort Food

I started with the lovely, rave-worthy cheese biscuits!  The orange-honey butter was a nice touch.  I enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, especially the little kick added with the drizzle of herb puree/pesto on the plate!  The coating was wonderfully crunchy and the portion was just enough.

THE DUCKARONI:  what an interesting twist on mac n' cheese!  I absolutely loved it.  My mother had the regular mac n' cheese sans bacon (a mortal sin!), but it was quite tasty as well.

Everything went nicely with my Elderflower spritzer!

For my entree, I enjoyed the lamb meat loaf. The pine nuts were an interesting addition, but the figs and their au jus was a bit too much on the sweet side for my liking...though it sounds miraculous on paper.  I enjoyed the rest of the meal.

My mother and grandmother both ordered the burger.  I thought the cracked black pepper was a nice touch as was the smoked tomato jam!

All-in-all, I'd visit again next time I'm in town.
