Description:

  • La Jolla native Matt Rimel loved fishing so much he bought a commercial fishing boat. "Nobody buys local fish, so in order to keep doing it, I had to open a restaurant," he says. He now operates three restaurants and still owns that local boat -- not to mention an international fleet that trawls for his eateries as well as select clients. You can order something from the sushi bar, such as exquisite toro, creamy uni, or one of the specialty rolls. You could try an entree such as steak of locally harpooned swordfish or grilled local fish of the day. The fabulous lobster dynamite, a half lobster (local, naturally) and crab baked in a special sauce, is given a dramatic, flaming presentation. Next door, intimate Zenbu Lounge (Thurs-Sat) has a sushi bar and DJs.
