I'm here again on another day, another organic restaurant and it's important to note how great this place is and how easily that can be affected by who is running it. Today, there is the same great wine, cheese and flatbreads; but in contrast to my latest review, the atmosphere here was welcoming and comfortable thanks to the nice waiters. As usual San Diego great customer service.
The Linkery is a hip café that features made-from-scratch artisan cuisine just a tofu-cube short of organic. Costly certified-organic foods mean higher menu prices, so the chefs here use local, sustainably raised products whenever possible. According to what's fresh and seasonal from that day's market, you're likely to encounter variations in some dishes from the printed menu. Their menu changes on every day basis depeding on their farmers and artisans.
To be honest, I didn't like the smell or the food. The thought of this place is very Santa Barbara-ish when it came to concept. The food came and it was bland, average and very pricey for the people wearing birkenstocks, converse and jeans.
A lot of the items looked interesting, but nothing really stood out as something I'd want to throw $19.50 on just to try - what if I don't like it! Great concept, though. Don't recommend it.
