JRDN sits inside the Tower 23 Hotel, its dining room and patio positioned right on the Pacific Beach boardwalk with direct ocean views. The kitchen describes its own approach as Modern Surf + Turf, running a raw bar of oysters, ceviche, shrimp cocktail, and a multi-tier Tower 23 seafood tower built for a table of six to eight, alongside sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi.
Breakfast and brunch bring steak and eggs, chilaquiles, a lobster benedict, and banana foster French toast, while lunch and dinner turn to steamed mussels, a boardwalk burger, and salads that can be built up with skirt steak, salmon, chicken, or shrimp.
The boardwalk setting is as much a part of the draw as the food — a hotel restaurant built around one of Pacific Beach's most direct views of the water.
