Brian Malarkey Fan Club

I think it's safe to refer to this blog as 

Brian Malarkey's Official Fan Club. 

Has a good ring to it, 

no?

I have shamelessly expressed my love for Malarkey's first three restaurants,

Searsucker, Burlap, and Gingham,

on this blog before.

Well,

the man is on a roll. 

Gabardine, located in Point Loma, 

is his newest venture.

Together with Chad White of Sea Rocket Bistro,

the chefs are focusing on producing a seafood dedicated menu,

that left us licking our plates clean. 

Why am I such a huge fan of Malarkey's?

No, it's not just because of his good looks...

although I gotta say,

I DID get excited to see him making his rounds while we were there this week;

but in all honesty,

I just really respect him as an entrepreneur. 

He's an entertainer,

and every time I drop in, I feel welcome, 

and leave happy as a clam. 

Uni Crostini - apple-radish salad, curry aioli, yuzu-honey vinaigrette

Black Cod "Foie Gras" - brioche, port cherries & pistachios
Favorite dish of the night!!

Octopus Asada - escarole, mustard, chourico butter

Yellowtail Crudo - shallot, lime, serrano-carrot vinaigrette

Papas Fritas

Uni Gelato

And he's not even done yet. 

Herringbone is due to open in La Jolla any day now,

and this girl cannot be more excited!
