Kettner Exchange occupies two levels of indoor/outdoor space at 2001 Kettner Blvd in Little Italy, its design built as a tribute to San Diego founding father William Kettner and threaded with nods to the city's bay and nautical history.
Corporate Executive Chef Brian Redzikowski runs the kitchen's rotating progressive American menu. He's cooked at New York's Le Cirque 2000, Nobu Matsuhisa in Aspen, Joël Robuchon at the Mansion in Las Vegas, and Yellowtail at the Bellagio before landing at Kettner Exchange.
The small-plates format draws regular mentions for spicy shrimp, frog legs, duck, and a butterscotch pudding, alongside a dedicated wine list and cocktail program.
Kettner Exchange has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019, 2022, and 2024, and has been named to the Eater 38.
