Cowboy Star Restaurant & Butcher Shop - San Diego
This unique East Village restaurant combines contemporary American cuisine with western flair. Cowboy Star won the 2008 Orchid Award for Interior Design, which should come as no surprise to those who frequent it for its exposed beam ceilings‚ cowboy-inspired accents and classic landscape photography. A stunning display kitchen is the focal point of the dining room, offering an insider's view of the action. There's also a full-service butcher shop, which provides a wide variety of quality products.
The restaurant is also committed to supporting local and regional farmers, fisheries and producers, and utilizes seasonal ingredients whenever possible. The menus showcase pastas, seafood, and steaks and chops.
A great way of experiencing the restaurant is to make reservations for the nine-course chef's tasting. It occurs at the chef's counter where diners get an engaging insider's perspective of the kitchen activity. It's available Monday through Thursday and reservations must be made at least seven days in advance. It's $150 per person.
